    Run df -H in a terminal. And paste the results in the question. This is for viewing your disk space info.

  • On what filesystem is steam installed? /dev/sdb1 seems full and could be why Steam can't load.

Try these instructions:

  • Run steam --reset in a terminal.

  • Restart your computer.

This should reset/reconfigure the steam files properly.
