Possibly another iteration of #5859.
except my friend can login with same computer
Possibly have the same problem on Arch, happened just today when I was in-game, steam just crashed together with the game and now it crashes every time I try to login.
Distro: Archlinux
Log: https://gist.github.com/AnonFuncsAreAwesome/f3b439cbdfe520ba982a5a6607bc69f8
Attaching the dump.
crash_20181122163251_1.zip
For reference, the attached minidump is a SIGABRT in linux-gate.so.
I got it working but still cant understand why my friend can login while i cant
it was locale setup
LC_ALL= was empty and i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
and that worked
same for me.
Linux version:
dexmorph@laser:$ lsb_release -a

Fix:
Fixing all "Cannot set" when running locale fixed the problem for me.
Followed this thread without the dpkg-reconfigure:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/710955/how-to-fix-en-de-utf-8-locales-warnings
Locale problems were there before but did not affect steam in the past. Problem occured after the last update (steam-runtime-beta-release_2018-10-24).
With kind regards
