So I recently downloaded and installed Steam on Ubuntu 15.04 64 bit. However, when I attempt to launch it, it crashes. Heres my terminal:

I am running the AMD proprietary drivers. I have attempted uninstalling and reinstall Steam. Any help is greatly appreciated.

See the question: Steam won't start on Ubuntu 14.04.1

The steps described in the answers are:

  1. Install libcurl3:i386 as @CharlesGreen suggests in this answer:

    sudo apt-get install libcurl3:i386

  2. Follow @imolit's answer:

  1. uninstall your Nvidia or AMD driver
    • I.e. sudo apt-get purge fglrx* or sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*
  2. reboot
  3. start Steam and let it update, while using the open drivers
  4. reinstall your proprietary driver
  5. and finally reboot again.
  1. You can also try switching your driver to X.Org X server - see this answer by @Michael:
  1. Open Additional Drivers
  2. Select "Using X.Org X server(open source, tested)" driver.
  3. Then go to Ubuntu Software Center and install Steam (steam-launcher).
  4. Then change Graphic driver back.
