Let me ask a very simple Question.
Why I can't open steam
after install and update it?
I am a new Ubuntu
user. I am currently using 16.10. I want to install steam in my laptop. So, download from steam and install it with gdebi
. But without giving any error it opened up and update just fine. But after updating steam client
it won't start again. It Just show the steam icon in the luncher for a few Seconds. Then vanish.
I tried to start with terminal
$ steam

Notes: I tried some of the solutions
$rm ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
$rm ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
and
$LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/$LIB/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/$LIB/libxcb.so.1 /usr/$LIB/libgpg-error.so' /usr/bin/steam
But nothing worked for me.
SO can anyone help me, please.
steam --reset
orSTEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam
from a terminal and check the output. Your other option is to uninstall steam and install from the repositorysudo apt install steam
steam --reset
same as privious error$sudo apt install steam
