How to reset steam

GuyWithTheBrokenSteam · 2017-08-26 22:07:31

So I think I screwed up trying to fix steam, so I want to trick the program into believing it has never been run before so that it fetches back all the files it needs. How do I go about doing this?

Try

steam --reset

I'm pretty damn past that point.

Is this on Ubuntu or Arch?

GuyWithTheBrokenSteam · 2017-08-27 01:53:35

This is on arch.

I believe you I just wondered because your log references Ubuntu.

Omar007 · 2017-08-27 02:10:20

@circleface: That's the Steam Runtime directory. It has two; ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32 and ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64.

@GuyWithTheBrokenSteam: You could try clearing out the steam folders in your home drive completely (might want to move the steamapps folder first so you don't have to redownload all the games) and then re-run Steam. It will recreate/redownload all the files.

rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam
rm -rf ~/.steam*

It brought up the license agreement, and then crashed

I have an AMD card and there is no output from the 2 commands listed

I started having this same issue after upgrading Mesa to 17.1.7-2. Tried upgrading the lib32 versions (still at 17.1.6-1) from testing to 17.1.7-1 but it still has the same errors. Steam Runtime doesn't work and neither does Steam from a 32bit Wine prefix (figured I'd give it a shot and neither does the program to configure my mouse (32bit wine). I don't have any other 32bit things installed other than what was necessary for Steam. I haven't tried downgrading Mesa or using the Radeon driver yet, probably going to tomorrow if this hasn't been figured out by then, but it's almost midnight and I'm tired.

I don't think it's Steam, but something with 32bit and AMDGPU since both Wine and Linux 32bit isn't working.

I should add I'm using AMDGPU with an R7 260x and that all of this worked until the Mesa update.

GuyWithTheBrokenSteam · 2017-08-27 05:22:37

I am using AMDGPU with an RX 460. This must be it then. Looks like we are waiting for another update

hodasemi · 2017-08-27 08:07:02

Downgrading libdrm to version 2.4.82 solves the issue for me. I am also using AMDGPU with an RX 470.

That did the trick for me too. Thanks.

SmallAndSimple · 2017-08-27 13:37:13

Maybe lib32-libdrm is the actual issue? It is currently behind libdrm, maybe they should be equal?

GuyWithTheBrokenSteam · 2017-08-27 18:23:04

That worked like a bloody charm. Thank you so much!

SmallAndSimple · 2017-08-28 07:52:30

Yesh, as of today, lib32-libdrm has been updated and Steam works fine again with the newest libdrm versions.
