First, sorry for the noise in opening this issue. Due to confusion trying to figure out the cause of the problem, I ended up discovering the optional environment variable STEAM_RUNTIME=0 and erroneously assuming this was the correct way. (Steam doesn't have a --help and I couldn't find any documentation. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/7849 )
One of the Steam maintainers pointed out to me that Steam sends the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of several libraries and that in short STEAM_RUNTIME=0 will make Steam not use the libraries sent by Steam but try to check them directly in the libraries installed at OS level. The full explanation can be seen in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/7813#issuecomment-857851359 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for- linux/issues/7847#issuecomment-857863961 I believe this issue can be CLOSED WITHOUT A FIX since running STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam generates a 'missing library' false positive, and Valve does not officially support this option. ### Steam users who read this topic: >> The comments below are only valid for the >> Steam Client build: Jun 8 2021, at 22:23:41 >> Steam API v020. >> Steam Package versions: 1623193086 In my case, Steam wouldn't open due to a bug that occurs when the option to save Steam password is checked. To solve this, run: steam --reset Open Steam again, and make sure you don't check the option to save the password. The above command will force Steam to delete the entire steam-runtime and download and install it again. Note: The --reset command does not affect installed games. Another way to have the same fix without reinstall steam-runtime is to open ~/.steam/registry.vdf and change Registry.HKCU.Software.Valve.Steam.RememberPassword from "1" to "0" ** Bug watch added: github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues #7849 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/7849 ** Bug watch added: github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues #7813 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/7813 ** Bug watch added: github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues #7847 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/7847 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1931312 Title: i386 version of libpipewire-0.3 for Ubuntu Focal 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pipewire/+bug/1931312/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
