Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1623193086
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Fedora
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] No

Steam wouldn't run so I ran steam --reset and then started up, signed in and browsed games for a few minutes (without playing anything) and it suddenly crashed again.

So I just tried executing steam again and got this right away:

Hello @bigntallmike, the second part of your issue sounds like #7813. Were you checking the "Remember password" box while testing?

The Steam client beta should have some fixes that might resolve your issue. You can reset the Steam client again, then opt into Steam's client beta in the settings or try manually opting into the beta client with something like echo "publicbeta" > ~/.steam/steam/package/beta or reset the Steam client once again and select it from the Beta participation section of Steam's settings. Alternatively, you could give https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/7813#issuecomment-861475454 a try.

After that, can you reproduce the first half of your issue with the beta?

If you use Big Picture mode, you'll want to install a 32-bit version of libXi.so.6 before switching to the beta, to work around #7874. I'm not sure how you do that on Fedora; it would be libxi6:i386 on Debian/Ubuntu or lib32-libxi on Arch.

I noticed the Big Picture bugs but no, I don't ever use it.

Hello @bigntallmike, the second part of your issue sounds like #7813. Were you checking the "Remember password" box while testing?

I was, yes, and I saw that bug post the other day when I was last dealing with this but didn't see the as long as I do not have "Remember Password" checkbox checked bit at the time, and turning off that feature does prevent the crash on a reload.

The Steam client beta should have some fixes that might resolve your issue.

At the moment, so long as the non-beta doesn't crash, I will stay away from the beta because it was the cause of my previous crashing issues a couple months ago.
