Whenever I install steam it won't run, nothing happens when opened. I had Lubuntu but couldn't get steam working to save my life, so I installed Ubuntu that has the exact same problem....
I've been looking all over the place for answers. The most common answer i've found and tried is:
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/libs
or along those lines (a few variations). However whenever I do this and try to run steam it says: Updating Steam, and reinstalls what I've just removed and then does nothing again. And stopping the update doesn't seem to help.
made steam run. Thank you!. at least i can run it. but this has to be entered in before every use, editing the steam.desktop file like the solution said did not work for me

part. Steam doesn't install system component what you can remove using apt-get. – Anwar Aug 15 '16 at 06:35~/Steam/bootstrap_log.txt
. You can edit your question to include those lines. If it is too big, only include the last section. The sections are separated with line breaks – Anwar Aug 15 '16 at 06:44LD_PRELOAD
