[SOLVED] - Steam won't start... again!

Hi there folks this was my problem:

stecco@yoga3pro ~ % steam                    
Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1468023329)
libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

so following wiki and others forum threads, I typed

stecco@yoga3pro ~ % alias rmbadsteamlibslocal='find ~/.local/share/Steam/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" \) -print -delete'

stecco@yoga3pro ~ % alias rmbadsteamlibs='find ~/.steam/root/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" \) -print -delete'

But it didn't fix the problem.

when I run this, i get this

stecco@yoga3pro ~ % STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam
Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is disabled by the user

I didn't try

$ steam --reset

'cause I don't want reset the AppCache, but maybe could fix my problems.
Any suggest? Thanks in advice.

Re: [SOLVED] - Steam won't start... again!

Read the output.

stecco@yoga3pro ~ % STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam
[...]
/home/stecco/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steamwebhelper: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
../common/steam/client_api.cpp (331) : Assertion Failed: ClientAPI_InitGlobalInstance: InternalAPI_Init_Internal failed, most likely because you are missing a 32-bit dependency

You are disabling STEAM_RUNTIME, but you don't have all the 32-bit libraries you need to run steam without it. Install them, or don't disable STEAM_RUNTIME.

Re: [SOLVED] - Steam won't start... again!

Thank you wormzy.
But if I don't disable steam runtime I get

stecco@yoga3pro ~ % steam                    
Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1468023329)
libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

So what should I do?
And has any sense for me to disable steam runtime?

Hello Steco!

You will find results that will interest you if you search with the below search terms:
- Steam libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so
- Steam libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

It is advised to follow the How to post guide when posting on the Arch forum. If one consciously jumps over these elementary steps like reading the wiki and providing necessary information about the problem, one can be regarded as a Help Vampire.

Re: [SOLVED] - Steam won't start... again!

Okay, in your first post, you said you created aliases for the two find commands. I (perhaps wrongly) assumed that you ran these commands/aliases too. Did you run them?

They are documented here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … ime_issues as well as some other possible workarounds which you may have better success with.

Re: [SOLVED] - Steam won't start... again!

I use two commands, but you can merge them into one:

find ~/.steam/root/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" \) -print -delete

find ~/.steam/root/ -name "libgpg-error.so*" -print -delete

If it ain't broke, you haven't tweaked it enough...

Re: [SOLVED] - Steam won't start... again!

stecco, try launching

$ cd ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" ldd $(file *|sed '/ELF/!d;s/:.*//g')|grep 'not found'|sort|uniq

and if there are some missing libs, follow wiki after Convenience repository https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … ve_runtime by installing steam-libs from alucryd-multilib.

Re: [SOLVED] - Steam won't start... again!

Thank you all guys: I read again the wiki page and I realized that I didn't give a try to this

find ~/.steam/root/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" -o -name "libgpg-error.so*" \) -print -delete

the most obviuos solution!

Now steam works again!
