Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Hi, I had Steam running on Ubuntu 16.04.1 until about a month ago, when steam was updated. After the update I was unable to start steam unless I used the preload option mentioned at: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam/Troubleshooting#Dynamic_linker

Using this workaround I was able to start steam, but my games wouldn't start anymore.

Starting Civ V from the command line without starting steam first, works. Therefore I think the dynamic linker option enables me to start steam, but makes all the games fail.

This was all done without joining the beta program. The steam support asked me to reinstall steam and then join the beta program to fix the issue, but neither worked.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Use the open source r600 drivers, that come with Ubuntu 16.04.1
2. Install steam from the repository and update your system and steam
3. See how steam fails to start

I have attached the terminal output I see, when I try to start steam without dynamic linker option as no_dynamic_linker_at_steamstart.txt

no_dynamic_linker_at_steamstart.txt

And the terminal output I see, when I start steam with dynamic linker option and the game CiV_Beyond_Earth

dynamic_linker_starting_civ_beyond_earth.txt
