Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): May 19 2021, 01:54:04 / 1621394999
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): XUbuntu
Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
nVidia Drivers: nvidia-driver-460 proprietary

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Expected: Steam continues running and doesn't crash without warning.
Actual: Steam starts normally, then after some time, it just disappears. See https://gist.github.com/DJGummikuh/05dd2a8111fedf5cbe1b1aa0109d98e1 for terminal log output. I already deleted steam and reinstalled it, which caused no difference in behavior. I presume that this has to do with my update to Xubuntu 2021.04 but have no conclusive way to prove that.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Start Steam
Start a game (or not, doesn't seem to make a difference)
Wait
See that steam crashes, usually tearing down the game alongside.

I have the same issue on Arch-based distribution. I've uploaded the logs of Steam running with GDB attached, as well as the dump file. I'm running nvidia-465.31-4 driver, same Steam version.

This might be connected to #6751 : I disabled Docker service, and Steam worked flawlessly for at least 40 minutes

Good catch, I actually do have docker running on my system. Stopped it now and waiting if steam crashes again
Edit: I can confirm that stopping the docker service with 'service stop docker' indeed kept steam from crashing.

Nothing extracted yet.
