same here on solus
I haven't been able to use Steam for several months because of the error "Failed to load steamui.so." I reformatted the other day and tried again, issue still persists. However, I don't receive any errors in the terminal like OP.

I have a similar problem on Debian Stretch using the Steam installer from the website. The program launched, checked for updates (it installed about 250MB of stuff the first time), then failed with the "Failed to load steamui.so" message. I purged Steam and reinstalled from the PPA via sudo apt install steam. Same thing :(

Does anyone fixed that? I'm stucked in this right now, there's a lot of internet posts with different non-functional "solutions". I just installed elementary os(Based on ubuntu Xenial Xerus), my nvidia drivers, and here am I. Does anyone have a hint?
@mateuspv I had had this issue in April, but it went away after a few weeks by itself. Presumably I installed or updated something that fixed it (Debian Sid, 64-bit). The only solution I tried at the time was one that involved deleting/moving Steam's cache in your home directory, forcing it to download itself again. I don't remember if that worked though sorry.
@stecman thanks for de info...
Elementary OS / Ubuntu
Here is what worked to me:
Open the terminal, write
sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/steam.conf
Add next two lines to file(it may be empty):
/usr/lib32
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa
Then execute:
sudo ldconfig
And Launch Steam
We just want more debug options
@mateuspv Didn't work for me on fedora 28
Hello, is anyone in this issue report still experiencing this issue? This scenario most commonly occurs when the system does not have a working 32 bit opengl driver.
If you're still affected, please check if any 32 bit opengl application like glxinfo from mesa-utils:i386 (or your distro's equivalent) works.
@kisak-valve Its working for me now on fedora 29 but I can't remember what I have changed since the issue.
Thanks for the feedback @Qwertie-, closing.

Hello. I have Ubuntu 15.10 (64 bit), and I have a problem with Steam. I run it in Terminal, with command " LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6' DISPLAY=:0 steam ". It's loading, but at final, I get a error: " Fatal error: Failed to load steamui.so ".
What appear in Terminal:
