Steam won't open in Ubuntu 16.04 or Elementary Loki

Are you into gaming on Linux?This post may help you



Problem :-

         After installing Steam,when I try to launch Steam it won't start.It seems like just starting and stopping process in few seconds.

Solutions :-

      The problem arises because,Ubuntu and Steam have some ambiguity in accessing libraries.Renaming or moving the library 'libstdc++.so.6' solves the problem.In two ways we can achieve this solution.

Solution 1  :-

     cd $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu 
     mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak 

    cd $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu 
    mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak

Solution 2 :-

     mv ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-                                              gnu/libgcc_s.so.1{,.disable} 

     mv ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-                                        gnu/libstdc++.so.6{,.disable}
