I expected to be met with my library but I got a black screen. Nothing that relied on webview works. I can alter the settings but not open the store, library, community or friends.

My steamwebhelper.log contained the following:

Updating Steam runtime environment...
/home/peter/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-heavy/setup.sh: line 421: zenity: command not found
/home/peter/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-heavy/setup.sh: line 77: echo: write error: Broken pipe

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Update steam
  2. Login

The issue seems to have been fixed while I was installing Zenity.
