Steam Startup Error [SOLVED]

Hello! I installed Steam by the instructions in Wiki. But when I tried to run it I got the errors below.

After I searched a bit I found the solution using the command:

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

However Steam worked only once and updated itself. After the update I couldn't start Steam again due to same errors. Now the code above also doesn't work. Can anyone help me please?

Re: Steam Startup Error [SOLVED]

Which one did you follow? I hope you amended the find command with the new gpg library to delete, and did not go with the downgrading option. Downgrading a library of such importance globally is not a solution and is likely to break as the rest of the distribution rolls on.

Don't forget to mark as solved by editing the title of your initial thread

I thought I did mark the title as solved but it appears somehow I  did not save it. Anyway, I didn't downgrade. I went with removing bad libraries in runtime.

That's not a great "solution", it's more of a temporary workaround. Better, more permanent workarounds are documented here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … ime_issues

EDIT: Moving to Multimedia and Games.
