Steam crashes after attempted update #19

Closed minecrafter closed 11 years ago

minecrafter commented 11 years ago

I removed .steam* and .local/share/Steam to fix another issue, and ran across 2 errors:

Var.1: https://gist.github.com/minecrafter/377edba678a349112d2b Var.2: https://gist.github.com/minecrafter/54dc6a14e8cb7e5242b6

Var.1 is after initial update, Var.2 occurs afterwards.

debian_version: 7.1 (amd64) video card: nVidia GeForce GT 610

@minecrafter Hmm... do you have the 32-bit drivers installed? If you do, then this is the only thing I could think of: http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/846939071190775211/?l=english#c846939071353762765

32-bit nVidia drivers are installed, and that environment fix is for a different issue un-related to this one.

@minecrafter Try removing .steam .local/share/Steam .steampath .steampid then re-install steam-debian

minecrafter commented 11 years ago

No dice. I get var.1 error again.

GhostSquad57 commented 11 years ago

@minecrafter I know this might sound like a weird question, but do you have g++ installed?

GhostSquad57 commented 11 years ago

@minecrafter I found someone with a similar problem No fix though :(

minecrafter commented 11 years ago

I do have g++. I'm using driver version 304.88.

GhostSquad57 commented 11 years ago

I'm using driver version 304.88.

I'm thinking that may be the issue, but I'm not entirely sure.

GhostSquad57 commented 11 years ago

@minecrafter Did you install your drivers from Nvidia's website or from apt?

minecrafter commented 11 years ago

from apt

GhostSquad57 commented 11 years ago

@minecrafter So everything worked fine prior to the latest client update?

minecrafter commented 11 years ago

Yes.

GhostSquad57 commented 11 years ago

@minecrafter Only thing I can think to do is file an issue on Steam's Official GitHub Page. Hopefully someone there knows a fix. This just seems like a problem with Steam and not my installer.

GhostSquad57 commented 11 years ago

@minecrafter Let's try a few more things:

Try, steam --reset
If that doesn't work, STEAM_RUNTIME=1 steam-debian
and if that doesn't work, then maybe the suggestions here or maybe here will.

minecrafter commented 11 years ago

steam --reset worked. I wish I could gift you something on Steam now...

GhostSquad57 commented 11 years ago

@minecrafter Yay! I'm glad I was able to help :)

minecrafter commented 11 years ago

It's back, it seems.

GhostSquad57 commented 11 years ago

@minecrafter Does steam --reset work again? I think it's going to keep happening after every client update... try adding STEAM_RUNTIME=1 to your .bashrc

minecrafter commented 11 years ago

steam --reset does not work. STEAM_RUNTIME=1 didn't work either, but it managed to send a crash report to Valve.

GhostSquad57 commented 11 years ago

@minecrafter hey, are you still having this issue? try steam -tcp

minecrafter commented 11 years ago

This is still an issue.

steam-debian -tcp did not work.
