Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): 2019/10/02
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch Linux (up-to-date)
Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] Yes (Problem also occurs in non-beta)
Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam crashes at random times (about once every 10 hours) and when a game is running at the same time that game will freeze. I get the following message in my journal:

Process 2019 (steam) of user 1000 dumped core. Stack trace of thread 2101: #0 0x00000000f425c214 n/a (/home/simon/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3.5.8)

I've made a backtrace with the coredump here but it looks like I'm missing some symbols.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

There are no specific actions that trigger the crash. I'm using an Intel i5-6198DU CPU and no dedicated GPU.

I have same issue on Arch Linux. Started like a month ago or so. I get random crashes, but could not find any logs or info regarding the crash.

@nomis6432 how did you get that message?

Nnomis6432 2019-10-02 github

@adojck The message I get with journalctl (press the end key to go to the end of your journal). The backtrace I get by debugging the coredump with coredumpctl debug and then running bt.

Hello @nomis6432, this reads like the issue being tracked at #6318. Can you compare it to what you are seeing?

This seems to be the same issue indeed. CheeseManFuus backtrace is very similar to mine.
