After getting the login dialog box the main steam windows doesn't show. I had steam working on my
linux box before an update about a week ago. I tried to reset steam. That gave me a box requesting a code that was sent to my email address. That part went fine but still no steam.

Here is the accompanying crash dump from /tmp.

Hello @SR-dude, Linux from Scratch in general is not a supportable distro, but you may find some hints from other issue reports with Assertion Failed: !bSharedKVSymbols. It's possible this can happen from an incompatible or missing system dependency.

For reference, the attached minidump is a DUMP_REQUESTED in crashhandler.so.

Is there anything in the crash dump?

Holy Sh*t! Your tip about !bSharedKVSymbols was right. The following line fixed things for me.
You need a raise.

STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 STEAM_RUNTIME=1 steam

Glad to hear you got it working. That effectively confirms that your issue is an incompatible or broken system dependency.

Closing as Linux from Scratch issues are not going to be investigated in depth.

The console did report that some libraries are old. The runtime must have updated.
I'll fix that.

You should note that a couple libraries are unconditionally pinned to avoid some fatal scenarios (at the expense of harmless log messages).

Nothing extracted yet.
