An exception occurred while running Ice (linux)

I’m running Ubuntu 16.04. Here is what I did to install Ice. Virtualenv installation went well.

$ git clone https://github.com/scottrice/Ice
$ virtualenv Ice
$ source bin/activate
$ python setup.py install

Configured config.txt, consoles.txt and emulators.txt following the Getting Started Guide.

Finally:

$ python -m ice   
[ERROR] An exception occurred while running Ice
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ice/decorators.py", line 10, in wrapped

  File "ice/tasks/engine.py", line 27, in __init__
    self.users = filter(is_user_context, steam_module.local_user_contexts(self.steam))
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Close the window, or hit enter to exit...

Any suggestions?

Ok, haven’t really heard from Scott Rice. I’ll fork and try to see what I can do.

Steam recently (?) changed their userdata install location on Linux from ~/.local/share/Steam/userdata to ~/.steam/steam/userdata. So this is a problem with pysteam not finding the Steam config files. I’m submitting a pull request to fix it.

PR: https://github.com/scottrice/pysteam/pull/11 Not sure if this will completely fix Ice on Linux though. I only ran into this problem when trying to use pysteam for my own project.
