[BUG] Steam is just a black window

[Nurgus]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

In KDE mode, all I see is a blank black area. The desktop appears, steam updater popups appear. And then it's just a black rectangle. Stopping and starting Steam - still a black rectangle. In VNC and in Moonlight the same.

Switching to BIGPICTURE mode, no improvement. Steam is just blank.

Expected Behavior

I was hoping Steam would appear so I could install and play some games.

Steps To Reproduce

sudo docker compose up --force-recreate -d

Environment

Host is Ubuntu 24.04.02 Server. A vanilla install with nothing added but Docker. I started off with the Snap version of Docker and the switched to the apt version with no improvement. I assume having a headless server with no monitor is not a problem?

CPU architecture

x86-64

I have the same issue. And it would be great if this bot wouldn’t constantly try to close issues after 2 seconds of inactivity.
