Note that the command does not exit, it just doesn't do anything after the error.

I moved my ~/.steam folder elsewhere and restarted steam. This only results in Steam updating itself and after that running into the same exception.

P.S.

Some other threads (with other problems) suggest to do steam --reset. This results in

$ steam --reset
Error: Couldn't find bootstrap, it's not safe to reset Steam. Please contact technical support.

This seems related to #3801

@mhogerheijde

It seems that switching to proprietary drivers fixes this issue. I have a Sapphire R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 and use the open-source drivers. Switching to the proprietary drivers makes Steam run without issues.

with "fixes", I mean "is usable as a workaround".

Same issue here. Steam worked fine for me in Kubuntu 14.04 until I upgraded to 15.04 last week.

I have an ATI card and am using the open source drivers. Any way to get Steam working again under such a configuration? (Issue #3801 workaround only address Nvidia cards)

Also - is there a way to get a more verbose error message from steam.sh?

Same here, works fine on the proprietary driver, would rather use the open source drivers though.

As mentioned in #3801, deleting the file libstdc++.so.6 that ships with steam (and with some games like Portal 2) fixes the issue.

I'm also getting this, as mentioned earlier by Sheado the fix in issue #3801 doesn't work with my amd card. Using open source drivers and xubuntu 15.04 with Radeon HD5850. Would prefer to stay on open source drivers since they have been more stable for me.

Hmm, same issue on Ubuntu 15.04. But my system only has Intel HD3000 video.

I got it working briefly by deleting the libstdc++ but it seemed to have broken quickly after that, repeaded deletion of the file didn't seem to help. Gave up on steam on linux, moving to a virtual windows. (Seems easier)

Also, source code would be sweet. Not sure if there is stuff in the source you can't share but I love trying to fix issues like this.

Switched from nvidia to nouveau for a bit to compare (and maybe try some Gallium Nine goodness). Then hit this issue.

I had the same issue. Once I ran

 rm ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6

The issue went away for now. I think someone else mentioned that it broke again eventually.

@boltronics
Copy link

In my case, I discovered the issue was $LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH not set properly for both 64-bit and 32-bit drivers.

FWIW, I compiled 64-bit mesa, libdrm and xf86-video-nouveau into /opt/xorg, and 32-bit into /opt/xorg-x86 (not wanting to overwrite system packages or to immediately build packages myself), so I needed to export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/opt/xorg/lib/dri:/opt/xorg-x86/lib/dri to make this work with Steam.

Strange it was already working with other applications like Tux Racer and Super Tux Kart, but likely because those are strictly 64-bit applications (when installed as a distro package). Ideally one would receive an informative error from Steam about this, since it's a condition the bash wrapper scripts can check for.

This problem is due to some outdated libraries in the steam folder. While the steam team update them, the solution is to delete them (so steam will take them from the system).

rm ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
rm ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
rm ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1

Steam for linux sucks! I can't get it installed after spending hours. I have also installed latest Nvidia Geforce 8600 proprietary driver , removed the above packages, tried with --reset flag and still I keep seeing the following crash message.

@misgeatgit That isn't the crash this bug report is about. Nowhere in the output does it have the error message in the title of this issue.

@boltronics Should I open another issue?

@boltronics

@misgeatgit Only if you can't find the same issue already open.

It looks like there are many similar issues already open, so with a bit of effort you should be able to find one that has almost identical output to what you are seeing. For software as popular as Steam, it's very unlikely you're the first to notice the issue.

In any case you might be able to get by with skipping the first line of my snippet in the post above entirely. (it's just a hack to download the latest update for my situation before running the provided steam script that worked on my machine).

Having this same issue, however switching from open drivers to closed ones doesn't change a thing.

EDIT: I'm so sick of Steam constantly crashing I just wiped Ubuntu and reinstalled it, works now.

Why is this issue closed?
I'm running AMD Radeon with the opensource driver and had the same error.
Removing those libs also fixed it for me (#3820 (comment)), but that's quite the workaround.

Hello @peteruithoven, this issue is one of many symptoms of the steam runtime interacting with newer distro releases. We will be tracking steam runtime issues cumulatively from now on at #4768.

I have the same error, but it only occurs when I have nvidia selected as the graphics card.. So if I do sudo prime-select nvidia steam doesn't load, if I do sudo prime-select intel then it works fine..

I thought I would share my experience here.

This error also seems to be caused by having the wrong Nvidia graphics driver active.

In the terminal I ran ubuntu-drivers devices, which indicated which driver was recommended.

Under "Additional Drivers", I had several conflicting options due to an earlier struggle with installing CUDA. I deleted all useless packages with sudo apt autoremove and rebooted. This cleared up a lot of the options under "Additional Drivers". When I switched to the driver which was recommended from ubuntu-drivers devices, Steam was able to launch again.

I just hit this same problem as well, running Pop!_OS 20.10. I installed some updates earlier today, and tried running Steam this evening, and got the same error everyone else has described here X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation).

I ran ubuntu-drivers devices, and based on @iboates suggestion to install the "recommended" version, ran sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-460:i386. This made it possible to run the Steam again, but it was super glitchy (blocked out splotches of the UI). Moreover, when I tried playing a game the rendering was slower than molasses. Tried to play a video on youtube, and it wasn't quite that bad (marginally watchable at least), but was still very jagged.

After switching back to the amd64 version (sudo apt-get install libnvidia-gl-460), videos were playing fine again on youtube, but Steam wouldn't start again (same error as before). I tried sudo apt-get install vulkan-tools vulkan-utils, but that didn't seem to fix anything.

Any other ideas here on what to try? Thanks in advance.

I always have this issue after updating or switching drivers. Usually rebooting solves the issue.

Unfortunately, I've rebooted more times than I care to count now (after trying to install quite a few different combinations of drivers, autoremoving, etc). Still no dice.

Update from me: At some point a few weeks ago, things just started working again ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My guess is that some packages were out of alignment, and that the issue was fixed in a later update.

Hello @snowinmars, the NVIDIA proprietary driver requires that the video driver's running kernel module, 64 bit userspace libraries, and 32 bit userspace libraries have exactly the same version to work properly. You can not mix and match between point releases.

From your package listing:
Kernel module: nvidia-470xx-dkms 470.86
64 bit userspace: nvidia-470xx-utils 470.86
32 bit userspace: lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils 470.94

This is an invalid system configuration and all 32 bit OpenGL applications will stall or fail when they try to use the mismatched driver component.
