Steam gives me segmentation fault

Hello.
I've installed Steam following every step from the Gentoo Wiki. The first time I've run Steam, it worked, but after that, no more. Here is my prompt, it shows me a segmentation fault on the line 756:

I get a slightly different error, but it also crashes for me after following the wiki guide. The only thing that has worked has been Steam updating itself - then it crashes. So I'd also like to know how to get it working.

I'm having similar problems. I found this,
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam#Segf ... s_selected
havent been able to test it yet, but I will later tonight. Im hoping it fixes since this is annoying.

Anyone knows the solution of this famous (
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam- ... ssues/4537) crash on Gentoo? For example downgrade some package? I think I have tried out every solution found on the net, I have even wiped out
~/.local/share/Steam and
~/.steam to force the client reinstallation (I use
steam-launcher from
steam-overlay) - but nothing helps...

I have always run it with the steamruntime USE flag disabled and haven't had any issues like this. However, I did briefly try enabling it while testing
my esteam script recently and it did fail to start with probably the same issue. I seem to recall deleting libstdc++.so.6 from the Ubuntu runtime fixed it but it may have been a different library. I recommend disabling steamruntime though as esteam makes it much more reliable now!

OK, disabled the flag, reemerged steam-launcher. Unfortunately, now the client installation gets stuck - I have 'Update Steam...' window with 'Downloading update' stuck at 0... System restart does not help.

Hmm. Not seen that before but maybe clearing ~/.local/share/Steam one more time will help.

This had to be a temporary server issue - it downloads the updates now. Unfortunately, I now have another crash - this time line 713

Given that it seems quite upset about font stuff, I'm guessing the key message here is:
Code: Select all
Fontconfig warning: ignoring POSIX.utf8: not a valid language tag
As it says, I don't know if that is valid. You can have POSIX and you can have en_GB.utf8 but I'm not so sure about POSIX.utf8.
Posted: Thu Sep 01, 2016 4:52 pm
by Romanujan
I actually don't have en_GB.utf8, but en_US.utf8 did the job. Seems to work now - thank you!

First, why does it still print messages in Polish with LANG=en_US.utf8? It is on a list of nown locales generated by
localectl list-locales.
Second, what can I do to debug it?

Looks like you're using systemd, which I'm less familiar with, but try setting LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 as well. I think LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG.

I guess my DE (Plasma 5) is to blame, because I don’t recall having such problems on anything before, and I’ve been using systemd for a couple of years now.

Try building dev-libs/nettle with 32bit support and rebuilding mesa.

I have the same issue as the latest poster. I've tried removing Steam completely to do a full re-install, but after that's done, it crashes in the exact same way again. The "Verifying Install" dialog comes up, and it crashes almost immediately.

Does anyone have any idea about how to get more info about the crash? If it's checking for libraries or something weird? I actually started getting this crash AFTER running the esteam script, I didn't have it before. But of course it can also be related to some recent Steam update.

I'm sorry to hear that though it's also a little surprising. While esteam does delete some files, it only touches the games, never Steam itself. This must be due to the presence of a new package or a USE flag change... or a Steam update as you say. It looks like you're getting a core dump file so find out how to use gdb. Don't have time to give details here, sorry.

I was under the impression he'd tried that already. The latest esteam also forces nettle.

I hadn't run the latest esteam, I ran it a couple of weeks back. I saw that an update @world just wanted to emerge mesa with the nettle useflag, so hopefully the problem will be gone soon!
Edit: It worked wonders, thank you!
