Steam has the bad habit to not run after upgrades of the Steam software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is, because it uses its own libc which expects libraries not there in
|
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To fix this, delete the file `libstdc++.so.6.0.18` from the following folders:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/`
|
|
|
|
|
* `~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/`

===================

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It seems Steam has a few more bad duplicates to make it fail with Ubuntu 16.10.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This command removes all bad libs from the Steam distribution:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
find ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" -o -name "libgpg-error.so*" \) -print -delete
|
|
|
|
|
```
