Related: Issue #3248

I'm having a segfault on startup with a fresh install of steam on a fresh install of Linux Mint 17 (based on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS) with latest updates, using Intel open source graphics drivers.

I've seen other issues that implicate nVidia and AMD closed drivers, but I didn't find an issue where this was occurring with Intel open drivers.

I have tried both the stable steam release and the beta, both gave the exact same result today.

If there's any further info I can provide, please let me know

Issue #4271 may also be related, however it mentions nVidia drivers and also states that a recent beta works, neither of which are true for me

there's a fairly good chance this is a steam runtime incompatibility issue. Have you taken a look at the Arch workaround? In particular, libxcb is involved in the crashing thread.

I tried removing various seemingly relevant libraries from steam runtime, but still got either segfault on startup or steam complaining that its install is broken.

I tried a complete fresh install (rm -r ~/.local/share/Steam) then LD_PRELOADing system libxcb to no avail, still segfaults.

I can't run with STEAM_RUNTIME=0 because steam apparently needs libnm:i386 and installing that removes network manager for some reason...

I'm having the same issue with Intel HD Graphics 3000 and Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon: Segmentation fault. Couldn't find out what I need to uninstall/reinstall to make it work.

However I noticed that Steam works when I boot from the Linux Mint Live 17.3 usb stick. After installed Steam in the Live system, I copied the whole live filesystem to my harddisk with rsync, rebooted into my Linux Mint installed on the SSD, then chroot-ed into the directory copied from the live system, and it worked. I had to xhost + before chroot to allow connecting to X.

I signed in to Steam in the chroot (checked remember my password), downloaded a game to make sure it works (it did).

Then copied the .local/share/Steam folder from the chroot into my normal home folder, and now Steam works without chroot. So the problem seems to be only the sign in screen.

Haven't tested but this methodology should work without the chroot stuff:

  • boot from the usb stick
  • install Steam
  • sign in to Steam
  • quit Steam
  • copy the .local/share/Steam folder into your user account on your disk (make sure you chown all the copied files)
  • reboot into "normal" Mint
  • sudo chown -R youruser:youruser .local/share/Steam
  • then Steam should work and it should be already signed in

Since this problem is around for a while, I think there should be a workaround way to sign in to Steam. Maybe a CLI login screen? Everyone would be able to type their name and password in a terminal window.

Ssullerandras 2016-03-02 github

It turned out that steam works on my linux if I set LOCALE and LC_ALL variables:

[andras:~] $ export LOCALE=en_US.UTF-8
[andras:~] $ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
[andras:~] $ steam

Without these I got the usual segfault:

/home/andras/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 756:  1968 Segmentation fault

Here on fedora 23 intel HD3000 (SandyBridge)
Steam runs fine by default but segfaults with self built mesa (used to work fine). It has been a few month now that this happens. Pb solved if reinstalling repo driver.

I tried Arch tips, without runtime, the above locale trick, but nothing solved the pb...

@sullerandras wow that works!

Now all we need is for steam shell script to set these itself or at least check them instead of bombing with a supremely unhelpful error message

Ssheepdestroyer 2016-03-10 github

export LOCALE trick is not working for me.
I tried to build the simplest Mesa with default options, copying those of official Fedora, then about any mix of FLAGS and arguments.

Steam runs on official Fedora Mesa builds but not on self built one anymore.

It's not a generic pb with my build config though, as any other i686 GL app run just fine (why isn't there a x64 build of steam BTW?!).

Ttriffid 2016-03-10 github

I'm not building my own mesa here, I'm using a totally fresh install of a recent release of ubuntu-derivative (mint) with default Intel drivers and having steam curl up and die with zero useful information as to why, while everything else works fine.

@sheepdestroyer perhaps you have a different problem that would be better served with a new issue, since yours works with distro-provided mesa?

Ssheepdestroyer 2016-03-10 github

Yes, I just opened a new issue

@sullerandras That worked. Thanks a lot!

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

Ttriffid 2019-03-09 github

I haven't run steam on a system with intel graphics for some time, hopefully this is solved as there don't seem to be recent reports.

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2019-03-09 github

Thanks for the feedback, closing.
