Yes, likely yet another instance of Steam runtime incompatibilities.
I can confirm this on Linux Mint 18 x64. Stable version works fine.
I can confirm this on Arch Linux

I'm having this problem as well, all of a sudden. Steam worked fine last night. I installed some system updates, now Steam won't run at all. Rebooted, tried a newer version of the graphics driver (Nvidia 367.35), no change. Not sure how to proceed.
Terminal output is posted at: https://gist.github.com/Chuckaluphagus/15e70cc7343acdd46c48083efd0351d2 .
I'm happy to provide any additional information if it will help.
System information
Steam client version: 1.0.0.52
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu 14.04 x64
Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
Not sure if same issue, but Steam worked yesterday, then after updating itself it stopped to work. I did a system upgrade to see if that fixes but no.

How do I start a game that is supposed to run without Steam and does so on Windows? They tell me go to game folder in Steam and just run it - that works on Windows but on Linux it will cry about not finding all kinds of dirs. This game should run without Steam, and I want to play! Please help!
I just tried now and Steam started up, it seemed to work... then while I came here to report that it crashed, and now won't start again. So the issue persists, but it's weird that at first it started up. Here is the dump for that crash: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hd8v7xw5wgf2hi7/crash_20160721032114_1.dmp?dl=0
Have this same issue, did not install any updates. Went to bed last night, turned on my computer today, now steam just will not start at all. Had same segfault at line 713.
Solution suggested in #4561 resolved it for me, in my case being part of the terraria beta that no longer exists, deleting appmanifest_105600.acf in steamapps resolved it.
Apparently my issue was #4561 - an issue caused with beta participations no longer existing.
Like @Storm-Engineer, it was the same for me. After I've opted out of all non existent betas, the Steam beta client works again.
I deleted all .acf files under steamapps but the segment error didn't go away.
Do we already have a solution or not?
GreatBigWhiteWorld, it sounds like whatever is causing your problems is not the same as the "beta .acf file" issue that was causing mine/ours. Has Steam support gotten back to you yet?
@Chuckaluphagus Isn't it here where I get steam support? Otherwise where do I get their support?
There's a Steam support organization that you can contact at https://support.steampowered.com/. However this is the right place to report problems with the Linux Steam client so you're covered. As for your problem since it doesn't appear to be the same as the beta participation problem it's not clear if there's a known workaround or not. The original comments about it being a Steam runtime incompatibility could be correct or possibly not, but the many issues open here have a number of things to try if you feel like it. You can also wait for a response from the port team, which they'll put here. That'll likely take some time.
Still an issue on openSUSE Tumbleweed 20160828.
After two weeks I tried again launching steam, it updated 200MB of files and popped up the login window I successfully logged in and it didn't crash, but all my games showed not installed. I checked the folder that all the games sit right there.
I relaunched steam and it brings me back to this crash.
Fixed in openSUSE Tumbleweed 20160924.
Two years later, this issue arises from the dead.
Having a similar issue on 42.3. here is a log.
3 years later, this zombie issue still lives on ArchLinux.
Still an issue.
Got this issue after the recent full system (Arch + KDE, Nvidia GPU) update, and it was fixed by installing lib32-nvidia-utils package.
Do you happen to know which library exactly was needed?
This is still happening on Arch. It started during the last week.
I have tried the following:
lib32-nividia-utils installedsteam-runtime arch packagebut nothing improved.
If it's relevant, the last thing that I did when it was last working was to install ARK.
Log here: https://pastebin.com/0fUw5Hmc
Crash and assert dumps here: crash_dumps.zip
A full re-install worked.
This is pretty invasive and you'll have to set up steam and download all of your stuff again
rm -rf ~/.local/share/SteamAnd all is happy with the world again.
Very odd
Hello @mattgorle, src/public/tier1/utlmemory.h (176) : Assertion Failed: 0 in your log hints that you encountered #7813, and not the issue reported here.
@andrejpodzimek This issue is still here, Manjaro. lib32-nvidia-utils might be 1 version off for now.
