box86: Steam does not show login fields

Just to note: no need to use a special branch for box64 now, it’s all in main.

I am aware of this. You need box64 and lots of memory for now. You also need to use steam_chrome branch of box64 for now. See an article about this there: https://boilingsteam.com/box64-can-now-run-the-full-steam-linux-client-on-arm-hardware/

@deus369 @cantalupo555 I’m working on a video to showcase box86/64 on the RK3588. I’ll explain how I solved this in detail.

I am using the same armbian jammy gnome, for Rock 5B, I can confirm after trying the same steps as cantalupo555 I get the same issues.

I am using Armbian based on Ubuntu 22.04. I compiled box64 into the branch you initially indicated.

git clone -b steam_chrome https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64.git && cd box64
mkdir build; cd build; cmake .. -DRK3588=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
make -j4
sudo make install
sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt

I installed box86 and Steam.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf && sudo apt-get update

sudo wget https://itai-nelken.github.io/weekly-box86-debs/debian/box86.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/box86.list
wget -qO- https://itai-nelken.github.io/weekly-box86-debs/debian/KEY.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt update && sudo apt install box86:armhf -y

git clone https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86.git && cd box86
./install_steam.sh

I installed some dependencies.

sudo apt install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf libc6-dev-armhf-cross indicator-application xdg-utils
sudo apt install libappindicator1 libnm0 libtcmalloc-minimal4 libvulkan1 mesa-vulkan-drivers libxss1 libsdl2-2.0-0
sudo apt install libappindicator1:armhf (It was necessary for the "steam" command to work.)

Now I have a different result, but the problem continues.
