It should be fine because the files exists as long as at least one process has them open. So until steam is killed i assume. You dont need to be root for killing them, the user running the bot has permissions to rm the files #intel specific: apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel #fonts #remember to check locally if font is available. #on arch based distributions: xorg-fonts-misc #probably good idea to symlink the download folder ln -s /home/autismbot1/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike\ Source/cstrike/download /home/autismbot2/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike\ Source/cstrike/download chmod g+x /home/user1 dpkg-reconfigure locales en_US.UTF 8 apt install libgtk2.0-0:i386 x2go or nomachine or VNC client/server setup

exporting correct SDL_VIDEO_X11_VISUALID value is important before steam login for starting games correctly

With the virtual desktop related to the VNC/x2go/nomachine client you can log into steam using the normal GUI ->
once logged in steam can run actively for months without requiring restarts ## bashrc for x2go users in the users thats running a x2go session edit the .bashrc file and add the follwing (remember SDL_VIDEO_X11_VISUALID deppends on glxinfo from xterm terminal): if [[ $DISPLAY ]]; then echo 'SDL_VIDEO_X11_VISUALID: ' $SDL_VIDEO_X11_VISUALID export SDL_VIDEO_X11_VISUALID=0x205 echo 'SDL_VIDEO_X11_VISUALID: ' $SDL_VIDEO_X11_VISUALID /home/$USER/.steam/debian-installation/steam.sh -applaunch 240 -textmode -novid -nosound -noipx -nojoy -noshaderapi fi #-no-browser +open steam://open/minigameslist reduces cpu being used by steam ##steam settings -> library -> low bandwith mode and low performance mode #X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS="-options nx/nx,sleep=0" /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options #keeps session as R instead of S which is needed for interaction with graphical components such as steam and CS:S ovh: 0x205, 0x209 #if running steam native libraries instead of runtime libraries one might require following apt install for making libpipewire work #specifically on debian steam apt install pipewire:i386 apt-get install libbz2-1.0:i386 #further steam native libraries specifically for debian apt-get install libxtst6:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libglib2.0-0:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libpulse0:i386 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 libcurl4-openssl-dev:i386 libopenal1:i386 libusb-1.0-0:i386 libdbus-glib-1-2:i386 apt-get install libsm6:i386 #check if all libs are present with cd ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ldd vgui2_s.so 2024 january note: If bots cant launch check if /dev/shm is full (files exist on system as long as a process keeps them open, so memory fully used and none available). df -h -> check /dev/shm/ tmps filesystem pgrep -u autismbot2 pkill -9 -u autismbot2 2024 february note: if steamwebhelper is stuck try to clean out /tmp folder, there might be a lot of leftover files for steam and chromium based processes that steamwebhelper generated. remember to also delete in the dumps folder cause it might be spammed with a lot files.
