Hello,

Since a system update yesterday, the steam client is not able to run my games. For the client, it looks like the game are not installed anymore. Actually they are still sitting in the steamapps folder but the client keeps asking for a new install location :
step2

I select the Steam folder in my "home" directory (so I have all needed rights) and click "New Folder" (which correctly creates the folders SteamLibrary and steamapps ). Then I click "Select" and the following messages appears :

step3
"new steam library must be on a filesystem mounted with execute permissions"

Also, I noticed that the Store page is not displayed anymore (which cannot be a network error, network connectivity is fine) :
step4

Troubleshooting steps :

  1. reset
    $ steam --reset
    Error: Couldn't find bootstrap, it's not safe to reset Steam. Please contact technical support.
  2. delete / reboot / install
    sudo apt-get autoremove --purge steam
    sudo apt-get install steam
    delete the .steam folder
    -> The issue is still the same.

Please let me know which debugs may be useful in oder to tshoot the issue.
