Steam login launcher doesn't work

When I click on steam, the first time login screen appears (Where it says create an account, first time ps3 login, and login to existing account) but I can't click on anything, I have to kill it. I reinstalled steam and now it doesn't even start. If I try to run steam from the terminal all I get is this:

Running Steam on arch  64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

I'm using the catalyst-test drivers. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Steam login launcher doesn't work

I just installed the windows version through playonlinux and it works. I even installed a game and it runs just fine. What could be the problem with the native version? Where should I start?

Re: Steam login launcher doesn't work

Well I found the problem, it has to do with my system being in spanish. When I switch to english it works perfectly. When I switch back to spanish it doesn't work but at least now I'm getting this at the terminal:

It says segfault at line 736 of steam.sh. I went to the script and at that line all that is there is this

STATUS=$?

I also see

$STEAM_DEBUGGER "$STEAMROOT/$STEAMEXEPATH" "$@"
Requested Force create but SharedObjectMutex already created

but I don't know what that means.

What can I do to get steam to work under my system while it's in spanish?

Re: Steam login launcher doesn't work

Lazarojhr16, I just registered as I've been bothered rather long struggling to find the solution. I don't even run arch, I'm on ubuntu, but it definitely seems steam gets annoyed if you're using any locale other than US. In Ubuntu this works:
$: LC_ALL=C steam

You can then exit steam as usual, next time it should start from the start icon as expected. Give it a short, and buena suerte.

THANK YOU timonoj

I've been looking for this for a long time...

Someone should add this tip in the wiki
