Hello,

I have this segmentation error each time I want to run steam.
Sometime, it would run, but most of the time, I get the seg fault.

Your system information

• Steam Runtime Version: Steam-runtime
• Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu 18.04): Arch up to date
• Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When startin steam, I get a segmentation error :

Hello,

to add data to this bug :

Steam would do a Seg fault every time I run it.

until I update the system, with arch you have daily update :)
during arch update, there would be a time when :
2/10) Reloading device manager configuration...
( 3/10) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...
( 4/10) Updating module dependencies...
( 5/10) Updating linux initcpios...

after that Steam would run no issue, until next reboot, where I would get seg fault, until I update again.

[feydreva]

since I have steam running again there are my steam info :
Steam Version: 1690583737
Steam Client Build Date: Fri, Jul 28 8:44 PM UTC -08:00
Steam Web Build Date: Sat, Jul 29 12:21 AM UTC -08:00
Steam API Version: SteamClient020

and my system information : https://gist.github.com/feydreva/da6634f3892558726a13f2220aa68108

I was just getting a similar issue, with the last lines of your logfile (the segfault on that specific line 798, which is part of the block of the script that launches the Steam executable). As you alluded to, the segfault was fixed after I updated from Kernel 6.5.2 -> Kernel 6.5.3.

I am on the Steam Beta, with the following information:

Steam Version:  1694466342
Steam Client Build Date:  Mon, Sep 11 21:49 UTC -08:00
Steam Web Build Date:  Sun, Sep 10 00:01 UTC -08:00
Steam API Version:  SteamClient020

I believe that a kernel update resolved this for me, as I can see no other relevant recently updated dependencies (sometimes too new Mesa/LLVM versions can cause segfaults, but that doesn't seem to be the case here). Perhaps the Steam client build date I was running was not compatible with the older kernel for some reason. There are no further Beta client updates available at this time.

@phoenix277yt your issue is different and looks like a problem with the graphics drivers/libraries. See here
