- What should I do with these logs?
Logs In many cases, reviewing the logs under /tmp/dumps/
can help. You will see crash logs and typically a "steam_stdout.txt" log which will contain useful information.
/home/steam/.local/share/Steam
/home/steam/.steam
Use systemd's journalctl command for this:
sudo journalctl -u steamos-autorepair.service
/var/log/unattended-upgrades
Since SteamOS runs in its own session, under the steamcompmgr compositor, it is not easy to just fire up a terminal in desktop mode and run steam
. The logs mentioned at the top of this page should be sufficient for reporting issues.
Please paste the logs into a GitHub Gist and provide the link in your issues submission. If you are in SteamOS itself, using an SSH connection, or unable to use the desktop, sprunge.us will work as an alternative, due to issues with piping commands to pastebinit.
Example:
cat log.txt | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us
