I was using steam as normally, then randomly it froze and I decided to restart it. After this it has continued to give me the following error whenever i try to open it, even after uninstalling and reinstalling:

You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libtiff.so.4
libva.so.2
libvdpau.so.1
libva.so.2
libva-x11.so.2
libxcb-shm.so.0
libxcb-render.so.0
libvorbisenc.so.2

After this steam will attempt to run the update process and fail saying: FatalErrror: Failed to load steamui.so

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Launch steam

Hello @mattfj10, these look like libraries that should always be available to Steam from the Steam runtime. Blind guess that it's been damaged somehow. Can you move ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime (or possibly ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/ if you're using the distro-modified Steam package) somewhere out of the way so that Steam does a fresh unpack of the Steam runtime the next time you run it. If that has an effect, then please compare the folder you set aside to the newly unpacked steam-runtime folder.
