TTele42 2013-04-14 github

Without a crash dump (typically found in /tmp/dumps/ and listed under "Recent Failure Reports:") this issue is next to impossible to isolate. If you are able to find one related to this, it will give the valve devs somewhere to start.

Mmmstick 2013-04-14 github

It crashed again earlier when posting a message in steam discussion of a group (Steam for LInux). There is nothing listed under "Recent Failure Reports:" It's blank as you see above. It's never had anything there. The file in /tmp/dumps is the same thing a terminal generates. So it won't help anymore than what I put. I'll also add that when Steam crashes, sometimes when trying to restart Steam the tty session will hang, forcing me to go to a different session, killing lightdm, and restarting it.

And another crash Enjoy the terminal records.

It might be worth it to run it through a debugger (like gdb) and seeing what happens.

Mmmstick 2013-04-15 github

I can't run it through gdb because gdb says failed to load libsteam.so

Jjohndrinkwater 2013-04-15 github

Try with DEBUGGER=gdb steam

Mmmstick 2013-04-16 github

So far it hasn't crashed at all while running it with DEBUGGER=gdb steam. However, time will tell.

Mmmstick 2013-04-18 github

It appears to be fixed, as it hasn't crashed at all lately. My only issue right now is that my entire GUI will freeze if I double click the unity dash/launcher or attempt to click and drag an icon on my Unity launcher, which isn't related to Steam.

Mmmstick 2013-04-18 github

I spoke too soon, it has returned. Now to catch it again with the debugger.

So an AMD driver bug :\

Mmmstick 2013-04-19 github

I've owned this 7950 for an entire year, and only recently is it functional on Linux (with Ubuntu 13.04 Beta), although it requires the latest beta drivers.

So an AMD driver bug :\

Shocking, I know.

Mmmstick 2013-06-16 github

Getting a lot more CTDs after reinstalling Steam on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 13.04, because I just got a 240GB SSD for free (Newegg EggXpert). Steam's CTDing quite a lot, to the point that it doesn't even want to launch. However, it runs perfectly fine if you just open a terminal and enter steam. Any ideas?

Mmmstick 2013-06-18 github

I have a rather huge gdb backtrace log here: http://pastebin.com/wmqxtmRq

Nothing extracted yet.
