Hello @tautaula, Steam's new UI interface is built upon the embedded chromium framework, which is only available for 64 bit.
For the time being you may have luck with running steam steam://open/minigameslist, but that may go away or be re-implemented with the new UI at some point in the future.
It loads!
Thank you!!
Maybe, as you said, it will stop working - but for now, it works! Yay!
Also, thank you! (I am very grateful.)
Same story here. Use case: in-home/VPN streaming, 32-bit CPU.
Another workaround: "Small mode" was pushed out in a recent Beta branch update.
This is exactly what you need, just the games list without the rest of the window. The only downside: friends list is 2 clicks away now and no direct access to Steam's console tab.
PS: For me with Beta branch, open steam://open/minigameslist in Steam's console does switch view to the disabled library, not working.
PPS: Console is spammed with CEF assertions every second despite -no-browser flag.
../common/friendsuihelpers.cpp (54) : Assertion Failed: Is64BitOS()
chrome_ipc_client.cpp (218) : Assertion Failed: Is64BitOS()
Because the CLI workaround works for me, and VADemon's solution will block it, I'm unwilling to try your solution, VADemon. If/when the CLI workarond by kisak-valve fails, I will probably try your suggestion.
There was another update to steam. My library is still not back; I was hoping it would be.
Thank you both, and thank everyone else who is working on a solution, too!

This keeps spamming my terminal I'm running kisak-valve's solution in. At least once per second.
Edit: marked every line individually, so it'll look the way I see it in the terminal.
I don't really code, but 'Is64BitOS()' looks self-explanatory to me. The answer is 'no,' steam code. I mean, Is32BitOS()?
...When I tried to uninstall a game, the view altered to inaccessible library. I was unable to uninstall the game I guess was never meant to be installed?
Last week I noticed Steam was updated to require x86-64 support :( As such the issue can be closed.
This is bad news to me, sorry to derail but if so, then there's no way to run In-Home Streaming ("Remote Play") client anymore on 32-bit Linux? It was the only thing that allowed me to continue using this laptop as a thin-client (and it worked greatly, ty!) - otherwise it's ready for waste... that's a shame.
even steamcmd got hit with this problem which is a pure terminal program and have to apply -no-browser to stop the message
/data/src/common/friendsuihelpers.cpp (54) : Assertion Failed: Is64BitOS()
Going forward, 32 bit exclusive systems can't really be supported properly.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Steam updated. I was surprised, since 32-bit linux is deprecated, no longer supported. I don't know why there was an update for it at all. I expected... no real change. Maybe some bugfixes so that games not meant to play in 32-bit linux would be properly gone. I was /not/ expecting my entire steam library to be inaccessible! I have a good few games that run fine on 32-bit linux, and they worked just fine until this... update? I am not a coder, did not have an account here til I was directed to post to this by (one of?) Steam's support personnel when I tried to describe the issue to them in steam's in-site support system.
I want my games back, please, Steam!
Steps for reproducing this issue:
I am not a coder (I know I said this already) and don't really use the CLI much. I can provide screenshots of my inaccessible steam library, and an error message I got by trying to access one of my games (also working perfectly well - before this update) through taskbar dropdown. The game "could not find steam," despite that it was up and running.
The game in question is Wurm Unlimited, in case that helps.
