When I try to start steam using bazzite-steam it displays the usual "from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded" and terminates. No messages. It worked yesterday without issues.

Linux bazzite 6.16.4-107.bazzite.fc42.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Sep 7 14:15:39 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2705 1 jan 1970 /usr/bin/bazzite-steam

Any clue as to where it logs anything?

It suddenly works again. I installed more RAM (8GB -> 24GB). Apart from that nothing.
