 |
|
I installed new EDITED glibc /EDITED just recently.
Steam started to complaint about libpthread.so file missing and failed.
So I started to run like this:
http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/2LEA
first line is command I use to run steam(i did try to run steam --reset before)
Steam starts and gives GUI message that: Fatal Error: Steam needs to be online to update Please confirm your network connection and try again.
Obviously I am connected, as I send this message from my PC.
Any ideas?

It is not complaining that libpthread.so is missing, it is complaining that it is the WRONG format (32-bit vs 64-bit): "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32".
Either libpthread.so is a 64-bit library and steam is 32-bit application or vice-versa.
running | Code: | | file /lib32/libpthread.so |
will tell you if it is 32/64-bits. |

/lib32/libpthread-2.22.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib32/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, not stripped
I also tried 64 bit library, it crashes with wrong elf message then and there, with no GUI showing up and much less of output.

I have feeling that problem is related to steam update? You don't use network manager by any chance? Does steam work for you?

i wonder if resolution is done using glibc libraries?
