A little while ago my steam stopped working. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work.
When I try to launch steam the icon just blinks 3 to 4 times and steam never opens.
Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit is the version I'm currently running.
I typed steam in terminal, and this was the dialog that came
Running Steam on ubuntu 16.04 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Pins up-to-date!
Seems like it is in working order so I don't know what is wrong
EDIT : So after renaming the 2 directories ~/.steam* and ~/.local/share/Steam Steam comes up with a new error :
Running Steam on ubuntu 16.04 64-bit
