Hello,

I just restarted my computer after an automatic update, like mostly weekly, but now i cannot launch Steam anymore.
I used to open a Terminal and write Steam, now i see this :

I think it's a problem with the pins, try

deleting this
~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_64
~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_32
~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime.old/pinned_libs_64
~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime.old/pinned_libs_32

and

~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs64
~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs32
~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime.old/pinned_libs_64
~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime.old/pinned_libs_32

then
steam --reset

this will reset all your steam settings, force rebuild the pins and you 'll have to point the settings again to the correct directories where the games are installed.

after that launch steam normally.

Hello,

I don't know what they do with manjaro, but with arch when you install steam you can launch it with steam (runtime) and steam-native (system libs).

There is "Manjaro steam native configuration found!" when you enter steam, so it seems to be configured for the system libs, on arch i use the package "steam-native-runtime" to install all the libs
Tchey Oct 20, 2020
It seems i have both -manjaro and -native installed

I tried to reboot, check update, but same.

there is no ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32...

there is ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_32

at least on Arch.

Maybe you have some weird permission issues, so it can't access the correct paths?

edit: the error after rebooting your machine seems to be related to 32 bit driver missing? check your drivers

try this run steam like this through the command line

STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=1  steam

if there is no error window message then try

STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0  steam


report if there's an error message window what is saying.

try completely removing steam-runtime dir from the same folder in ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32 and in ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32

and launching again.

then the last resort is nuking the steam directory.. (I hope you have your games installed in other directory)
rm -dfr ~/.steam
rm -dfr ~/.Steam
rm -dfr ~/.local/share/Steam


steam --reset

and try running it again.
