Hi guys,

Maybe you can help me a bit here, as I'm pulling my hair not being able to find any solution to this. Steam shows for a fraction of a second the updater window, then crashes immediately. Doesn't even get to the login window.
I'm using Elementary OS Freya Beta 64bits, and a Lenovo y510p, 16GB RAM, 750m SLI and 128GB SSD. nvidia-340 installed.
This is the console output:

timonoj@Timo-PC:~$ steam

I understand the crash might be related to the NSS libraries, since that error line shows immediately after the update window abruptly closes.

Any help will be greatly welcome. Thanks!

I'm still having this issue too... it's been over a month. Arch Linux x86_64 using multi-lib libraries and STEAM_RUNTIME=0

Hello @timonoj, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?

Not at the moment,last time I had to install it, it went flawlessly... but
then again, I changed distributions and everything since then. Hard to
replicate the issue now...

Glad to hear that you don't see this issue anymore.

For current systems with older libnss, there is an issue being tracked at #5311, but Steam's library pinning behavior wasn't around in 2015 so it's unrelated to the issue tracked here. Closing.
