Steps to reproduce

Run steam from Konsole.

I can't remember whether the other errors (breeze theme and fontconfig stuff too new for steam runtime) has anything to do with this. I might have seen the fc errors before when steam was working normally, but I don't remember anything about Breeze.

glxgear from mesa-demos 8.4.0-4 works normally. AMD 6800 XT, 6.4.7-aosc-main.

For non nvidia drivers, LD_LIBRARY_PATH should be set to /opt/32/lib:/usr/lib in order to make Steam happy, at least it worked for me.

[Artoria2e5]

sounds reasonable, will test. Maybe that should go into the wrapper script?

[Cyanoxygen]

Hi again,

Could you try creating a config file under /etc/ld.so.conf.d with the .conf extension and with the following contents:

/opt/32/lib

and run ldconfig as root?

That should make ld.so aware of our i686 libraries, without setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I tried and Steam launched successfully.

No longer a problem with the latest steam package. Closing.
