Hello @FlorianAnders, if you remove the empty file, does it get regenerated the next time you tell Steam to start?
Hello @kisak-valve, yes it gets regenerated. However now I get the message:
"Error: Couldn't set up the Steam Runtime. Are you running low on disk space?"
And I think that 300GB is plenty free space. Having looked for the error, I was led to this command:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib" steam
Which then yields the error as an actual window instead of the terminal. This is however the end of how far I got. It is still not possible to launch steam.
We could probably move/remove the steam-runtime folder in ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/ to get Steam to regenerate that, but functionally it's just treating the next symptom. The question that a Steam dev would want to ponder is how to reliably reproduce whatever happened to cause Steam to have zeroed out files.
Nothing extracted yet.
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
launching Steam does not work, trying launching from console yields:
/usr/bin/steam: line 316: exec: /home/florian/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: cannot execute: Exec format error
Looking at the mentioned .sh file: it is empty.
