Internal web browser doesn't load any page of store and community network
Hello @emmecii, the key detail in your log is
/home/ivan/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steamwebhelper: error while loading shared libraries: libgpg-error.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
which means you are missing 32 bit libgpg-error.so.0. I'm not an ubuntu user, but I can guess that sudo apt-get install libgpg-error0:i386 should help.
@Tele42 libgpg-error0 is a package already installed in my system (most probably required during the post-installation/configuration of steam.deb)
@emmecii - when you try to navigate to the community (or store) page within the client, does the throbber stop spinning? Or does it just trundle along forever?
@jonpile The throbber trundle forever like if the browser is waiting for a response from the server, but failing to close the connection for a HTTP error. The page is black.
For me the message was: /opt/SteamLinux/ubuntu12_32/steamwebhelper: error while loading shared libraries: libcef.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I strace'd the client with strace -fp $(pidof -s steam) -e file -t and found out that it doesn't search its own runtime and other directories, only the system ones. So I copied libcef.so to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ and voila, it works. So I suppose the steam process doesn't preserve the environment when launching steamwebhelper (and with cat /proc/$(pidof -s steamwebhelper)/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH returning nothing this is confirmed).
Please fix.
Hmm, that's not it. It was my own mistake, played with capabilities and set cap_net_admin,cap_sys_admin+eip to /bin/dash, after removing them everything works fine. False alarm.
I had this same issue. I think the libs create a "version drift" between updates on distros such as Fedora where things are updated frequently.
After a few days a steam client update came through and now everything is working for me. :D
Hello @emmecii, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?

I forgot this issue, now it work perfectly on Ubuntu 18.04.
Thanks for retesting, closing.
