#NOTICE: steam might not be able to launch in case of the tmpfs /dev/shm filesystem being full. it seems safe to just delete u1001-Shm_* files and u1002-Shm_ files. 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

exporting correct SDL_VIDEO_X11_VISUALID value is important before steam login for starting games correctly <br/>
<br/> With the virtual desktop related to the VNC/x2go/nomachine client you can log into steam using the normal GUI -> <br/>
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

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. Recreate the dumps folder. Owned by user root and group autismbots.
