It's an issue with Steam and fglrx. Perform a sudo apt-get remove fglrx-driver, install Steam, login, and reinstall fglrx-driver. Steam will work if you install it using the open source driver (xorg-xserver-video-radeon) first, then install fglrx.
Hello; can you verify whether installing libxinerama1:i386 fixes this issue with fglrx?
hi ... i had a Apicoectomy yesterday ... so i am not able to check it atm ... will try to do it tomorrow ..
bud i have also some other issues wich are not related to steam ... and i could not fint out yet how to solve it ....
i will test the libxinerama1:i386 fix tomorrow ... and also if the other fglrx driver solves the issue
thx for the answers ...
installing libxinerama1:i386 (with fglrx) steam install and run without problems.
Ubuntu 14.04 lts 64bit
I have the exact same issue. but I am using radeon opensource driver.
libxinerama1 is installed nonetheless...
installing libxinerama1:i386 with the current fglrx-updates ( 2:13.350.1-0ubuntu2 ) worked for me.
Ubuntu 14.04 64bit
EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the issue was closed. My bad.
Just wanted to confirm that adding libxinerama1:i386 fixed this issue.
I have an R9 290X with a fresh kubuntu 14.04 x64 installation
@Aperion can you confirm your video driver? you are using fglrx right? because with Radeon driver, installing that package usually does not solve the problem.
my appologies, yes I am using the fglrx-updates package from the main repository.the fglrx version is 13.35
I have to back track on this. Once I updated to the drivers from AMD's website I went back to crashing. I've also tried going back to the old drivers but I still get the same problem, purging libsineramra and reinstalling does not fix the issue either. Disabling xinerama in the catalyst controll panel allows steam to start. I know xinerama is depricated in favor of xrandr but I am unsure of how to ge the same behavior as xinerama with xrandr.
Also with xrandr spaning two screen games do not display correctly.
Same here. Im using Fedora 20, with the latest NVIDIA driver(beta. downloaded from nvidia.com). This problem showed up after reinstalling, I used the same kernel with the same driver.
I downgrade the steam package ASAP.
EDIT: after the downgrade, the issue still exist
UPDATE: reinstalling nvidia driver solved this issue. (WTF?)
Nothing extracted yet.
