I get the following message inside a popup window:
"Fatal Error: Failed to load steamui.so"

I found the shared object inside ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32, and echoing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH out of steam.sh, I managed to run:

So it seems that there are no missing libraries. What else can I do to try to fix and/or diagnose the problem? It doesn't seem a general problem, because I can't find any recent similar report on the web, so there must be somthing with my system, I just don't knwo what...

In xterm,

Try 1:
#LC_ALL=C steam

Try 2:
#DISPLAY=:0 LC_ALL=C steam

Please report your result

Same popup error. For some reason, even with LC_ALL=C there was a localized message. Got the same output with the other attempt:

May be the same as #3595?

I don't know. I moved the games directory and reinstalled Steam. It worked again.

Nothing extracted yet.
