Hey there, I recently updated my system and after rebooting, Steam won't launch. It's strange because there's no error, just an exit message that says:
~ steam
/usr/lib/steam/steam: line 205: /home/rafael/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: Success
[ble: exit 1]The same thing happens when I try launching it using steam-native. I installed Steam using the steam and steam-native-runtime packages from the multilib repository.
Since there's no error message, I'm not sure how to go about debugging this issue. I tried checking the Steam/Troubleshooting wiki, but the "Finding missing runtime libraries" didn't return anything, and running DEBUGGER=gdb steam returned the same result as without gdb.
Could someone please help me with this issue?
Update: Okay, it seems to be a bash-related problem and not Steam-related. I can launch Steam as usual using another user account. I tried to restore my ~/.bashrc to the default one, but the problem persists.

I managed to solve the issue. It seems that the files in my user directory were corrupted for some reason. The file ~/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh was blank and the file ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam was corrupted and not executable.
I copied both files from the home folder of another user and now it's working fine. I have no idea why this happened though.
