Steam errors or warnings request information

This is grepped from the full launch of steam in the second paste. Are these normal errors or a misconfiguration on my end? From my searches, I can’t find anything concrete to give me answer.

  1. GLib-GObject-CRITICAL
  2. appmenu-gtk-module
  3. error EAFNOSUPPORT

This is all expected I assume.

The GLib errors are expected
The appmenu-gtk-module error, I guess install it then if needed, from source it says “Global Menu for Vala Panel (and xfce4-panel and mate-panel)”)
The EAF NO SUPPORT error, probably IPV6 related from very quick Google search

Do you have an issue?

No real issue of yet, nothing that points to those errors at least.

OK, then as we say, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

Just odd that its installed but it can’t find it

/usr/share/appmenu-gtk-module
/usr/share/appmenu-gtk-module/doc
/usr/share/appmenu-gtk-module/doc/AUTHORS
/usr/share/appmenu-gtk-module/doc/LICENSE
/usr/share/appmenu-gtk-module/doc/README.md
/usr/share/appmenu-gtk-module/doc/TODO

Is it?

pacman -Qi appmenu-gtk-module

PS: locate command has nothing to do with packages.

Well, I know it was already installed, so in this case it does have to do with it.
~ > yay appmenu-gtk-module

1 extra/appmenu-gtk-module 0.7.6-1 (53.5 KiB 232.0 KiB) (Installed)	Application Menu GTK+ Module

What if you run the command I gave instead of relying on another one of yours?

OK you have the two dependencies installed too. I don’t know then. Back to my previous post

Agreed, fixing things that don’t need to be fixed causes breakage frequently

Even starting the service, it still complains after

~ > systemctl --user start appmenu-gtk-module.service
