Steam Client Seg Faults when attempting to stream
Hi I've been attempting to use the in home streaming feature to play games from my windows 7 machine on my laptop running Linux (Fedora 20 - 3.14 Kernel).

I can connect to my windows machine and see the installed games but upon hitting stream button the steam application on the linux client terminates and displays the following out in my terminal:


Uploading dump (out-of-process) [proxy '']
/tmp/dumps/assert_20140522175247_1.dmp
/home/matthew/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 755: 16618 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $STEAM_DEBUGGER "$STEAMROOT/$PLATFORM/$STEAMEXE" "$@"

Finished uploading minidump (out-of-process): success = yes
response: CrashID=bp-458a59bb-7137-489d-a481-446a52140522


I have tried to perform a backtrace on the core in /tmp/dumps/ dir using GDB but it does not recognize the format of the core file.

I have tried several different games and the result is the same.

I also run into this issue on Fedora 20 - 3.14 kernel on a Lenova Thinkpad with Intel HD Graphics. Open GL works and games work under linux but streaming fails with a similar core dump as above.

And streaming from the same host to another windows PC works.

Ugh, how about reading the dang /usr/share/doc/steam/README.Fedora file. After running the selinux and unset XMODIFIERS commands, I could then launch the game but would get ''client expected unexpectedly -2" error.

But now that I could go into big picture mode (with the above steps) I could then launch the game from that mode and stream perfectly!

Awesome feature, thanks.
