Description Jon Brightwell 2017-02-17 10:08:59 UTC 
Starting steam via console gives you this output http://susepaste.org/5ccf4e9d

If you run as 

PATH=$PATH:/sbin steam

You get a much shorter output with lots of errors removed. http://susepaste.org/d1fa832c


I spent a little time looking into this and discovered the following:


Valve reports that it uses lspci to detect graphics card for help when streaming and at startup it outputs `sh: lspci: command not found`.

As for the fonts, I blind tested with screenshots of the store and thought the font rendering with the path looked clearer. After zooming in there is actually a difference.

Thanks for the report. Sounds like a good idea. Sadly I can't test steam right now as it segfaults on startup on Tumbleweed.

I was reviewing my old bugs this morning and this one is still valid with the benefits as per first comment (can't see the dbus errors atm). Looking at the package, I presume it'd need a patch similar to steam-invoke_steamtricks.patch and add the path to line 5 of the start up script?
