From the attached steamwebhelper.log, the container runtime framework is starting up successfully, but I can't tell much beyond that.
It looks like the steamwebhelper is maybe crashing, but is unable to send in a crash report because of this:
[0229/222836.646493:ERROR:filesystem_posix.cc(63)] mkdir /tmp/dumps/new: Permission denied (13)
[0229/222836.649457:ERROR:socket.cc(120)] recvmsg: Connection reset by peer (104)
If this is a shared computer, it would be helpful to ask the user who currently owns /tmp/dumps to delete or rename it (or you might be able to remove it by restarting the computer), and then try this again with that directory not present, so that Steam can send in a crash dump that Steam developers can analyze.
One common issue at the moment is that it can cause problems if ~/.config, ~/.cache or ~/.local/share are symbolic links (known to be a problem for ~/.config, speculated to be a problem for the others). This is #10547 and #10552. I can't tell with the information available whether the crash you are encountering is this or not.
I just deleted /tmp/dumps and steam is launching without problems. The owner of this dir was steam user itself, which I made some months ago to run an ark server.

Thanks, this is very useful information. It seems that this is a new problem with the updated steamwebhelper (not the container runtime that it's running in, this time, but actually the steamwebhelper itself). Previously, having a /tmp/dumps owned by another user would just break crash reporting, but it seems that it now prevents starting steamwebhelper at all.
The only issue now is that everytime I start my pc, /tmp/dumps is created raising the previous error. Deleting each time the dir fixes the problem.
I run in the terminal steam and I got the error src/steamUI/steamuisharedjscontroller.cpp (545) : Failed creating offscreen shared JS context
I check the logs in ~/.steam/steam/logs/steamwebhelper.log and I found the error /usr/lib/pressure-vessel/from-host/bin/pressure-vessel-adverb: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
sudo find / -name libdl.so*. My location was /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ steam@DomnMihai:
Run steam in the terminal with the command LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ steam
This should not be necessary. Please report a separate issue in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues with the logs from ~/.steam/steam/logs and details of your system.
We can never solve this sort of issue without more information, and replying to someone else's closed issue report is rarely the right thing to do.
For me it was the cause because I ran steam in a screen like: screen -dmS steam steam. Without the screen, Steam is now starting again but did it in earlier versions anyway?
Nothing extracted yet.
