Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Jun 21 2017, package version 1498083198
  • Distribution: Ubuntu 17.04
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: beta Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes, system is up to date

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

After the steam summer sale started, I get the following errors when visiting a games store page. It prevents me from making purchases and doing anything on a store page.

threadtools.cpp (1343) : Assertion Failed: Thread synchronization object is unuseable cef_clienthandler.cpp (2088) : Assertion Failed: killing unresponsive browser for URL http://store.steampowered.com/app/app_number/app_name

I use this ppa for my mesa drivers. https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/pkppa

Update:
I get the same issue when trying to watch a friends stream via stream broadcasting. So it seems like the issue has to do with steam's browser and videos.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start steam
  2. Visit any games store page

Hello @xksteven, symptom-wise, this is an exact match to #5039 in what is happening and that mesa users are affected, but nvidia proprietary users are not. Let's track this on that issue report.
