Can it be installed again from scratch? Renaming first whatever directories it uses?
At least /home/{username}/.local/share/Steam/
I don't know, I did think of that but was out of time to faff with it any further, and decided to concede in light of various posts on the opensuse subreddit that suggest it's a wider unfixed problem, e.g. this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/9crshh/steam_wont_start_on_opensu...
I tried the magic command detailed in that thread. You can always guarantee (well, I can anyway) when there's a comment like that followed by several people chipping in saying 'yeah great works for me', that it will definitely not work :(
:-( I see a suggestion on that thread to "install the Steam Flatpak". Guessing it is locally linked to its own libraries instead of system ones.
But if there's one thing more annoying, it's when you're in urgent need of some help, you post to the mailing list and on that particular occasion your posts don't show up until several hours afterwards, presumably because of some spam check. Frustrating.
No, it was a server problem at suse, few people noticed. I didn't. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
