So I installed Steam and bought Tomb Raider, played for an hour (awesome port btw...) and now a few days later Steam segfaults on startup.

steam.real gives me

ILocalize::AddFile() failed to load file "public/steambootstrapper_english.txt".

[2016-05-04 09:45:29] Shutdown

steam gives me:

Both calls would generate a .dmp file in tmp and produce an output in dmesg:

[ 1999.296847] steam[3186]: segfault at 0 ip           (null) sp 00000000ffdad37c error 14 in steam[565c3000+3a9000]

Like mentioned, OpenGL works, I tested it with GoneHome (from HumbleBundle) both 32 and 64bit variant, work flawlessly and fast in maximum settings.
Unfortunately I cannot attach the dmp/core files....

Likely a duplicate of the other 16.04 issues here.

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

@kisak-valve To be honest, i moved forward with (K)Ubuntu now at 19.xx. I use steam on LInux on a regularly basis und couldn't be more happier. I do not know how the situation back then cleared up. Thanks for you great work!
