I am running Xubuntu 14.04 64 bit. I installed Steam about 2 months ago, without using the 32 bit libs or anything. When it last prompted me for updates (yesterday), I didn't to update it and I haven't been able to start it since then.
Output when run from terminal:
$ steam

I tried installing 32 bit libs, updating my system, upgrading, reinstalling, deleting appcache
.
What can I do?
STEAM_RUNTIME=1 steam
about 5 times. Sometimes I click the launcher 10 times in a row instead. I've heard mention that you can reinstall graphic drivers, but I haven't tried that.
