I just recently began having problems launching the steam client in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit.

The last thing I did in the client prior to this issue was opt into publicbeta for the game Serious Sam 3. I have no idea if that has something to do with this issue, but it is the only out of the ordinary thing that I had done in the client recently and it seemed to be working fine minutes before that.

Full Output from Terminal:

If you hide your main steam directory (e.g. by using "mv ~/.local/share/Steam ~/.local/share/Steam.bak" ) and then try running Steam does it work?

If that still doesn't work, how about if you do that and then also remove Steam from your system, download, and reinstall it?

Its working now, thank you.

Just renaming the directory didn't do it. It reinstalled the files it couldn't find but crashed on launch as before.

However, removing the main steam directory and the steam package from my system then reinstalling (used steam_latest.deb; dated Feb 19) worked. Thanks for your quick response.

I opted back into the Serious Sam 3 publicbeta via the steam client just to see if it would reproduce the issue. It did not and the client continues to work fine, so I guess that was likely not what prompted the issue initially. Just fyi, I guess.

Nothing extracted yet.
