Possibly same issue as #5954. It gave me:

And it seems it's the debugger? https://gist.github.com/konimex/681d48293d4d7771b3a257287e5a9f8b

Before I updated my system, Steam works, but after I updated it, it seems to throw the segfault. So maybe one of the package updates made steam segfaulted, but I cannot determine which package is faulty. So if a manual upload of the crash dump is needed, I'll upload it (I cannot find out how to read it).

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Run steam or steam-native.

Closing this since the fault came from my end. Looks like the NVIDIA driver was not updated yet from our packages.

@konimex What do you mean by not updated yet? Is there a minimum version that I'm missing? I hit a very similar issue after trying to use the nvidia driver on my laptop.

Since I'm using a rolling release distro, all packages must be up-to-date. There were some incompatibilities between nvidia-utils (e.g. installed version 410.59) and lib32-nvidia-utils (e.g. installed version 418.56) because a package maintainer pushed an update for lib32-nvidia-utils but not nvidia-utils itself, causing the segfault to happen.

Nothing extracted yet.
