Can confirm exact issue also happening to me also. A full wipe of steam simply produced the same results, and the exec mount error. |

Hi, I can confirm the issue as well. Additionally the steam browser does not load the store page. It shows a black window and the spinner icon. steam --reset did not fix the problem dmesg is being spammed with this:
Edit: Seems related to the kernel update I got today. Booting with the previous kernel (3.13.0-58-generic) fixes the problems for me. Seems something is up with 3.13.0-59 :/ System info:

Same for me Ubuntu 14.04.02 LTS ("Lamenting To Steam") x86-64, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah. Same work-around (boot prior -58 kernel) in use. |

Same issue here, also on 3.13.0-59 and Ubuntu 14.04. Booting in -58 works, I could set up the library directories perfectly, but after booting back into -59 they were gone. |

Well, keep using -58 then as -59 is clearly b0rked. |

Same issue here, I'm going back to -58 until further notice, but the launchpad bug suggest that a -59 lts kernel might not suffer from this bug. I'm just not sure what they mean by it. |

I think what they are getting-at in those LaunchPad bug reports, is that there is another kernel update in the pipeline (3.16.something, instead of 3.13.something?) that fixes things - but just isn't released yet for LTS. See also, this particular post of somebody testing that updated kernel: |

having the same problem here with linux mint kde, booting to 58 seems to be a decent workaround for now |

‘Selected filesystem does not allow executing files.’ can be wrong. #730

According to the bug case on the Ubuntu side (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1479093), additional affected applications (besides Steam and WINE) have been identified, and they have changed to priority to fixing this now from "medium" to "high". I also saw a note in there that a fix is in the works and releasing an updated kernel should be forthcoming shortly. [...] wrote 3 hours ago: A fix for this is building right now and, if all goes well, should be released in 8 to 12 hours. |

According to Ubuntu side, this should be fixed now with the kernel update they released today (kernel version 3.13.0-61.100): |

Fixed after upgrading from kernel |

Nothing we can do in Steam to work around this, you will need the updated kernel from Ubuntu. |

Steam lost access to my library folder and refuses to re-add it or create a new one. None of my installed game are accessible in Steam, nor can they be re-installed.
Trying to re-add my library or create a new one through

Running a game manually from its executable in my non-working Steam library allows it to run (but without the Steam overlay).Steps to reproduce:
