Steam won't open in Ubuntu 15.10
Been trying over and over, but nothing happens. Tried reinstalling Steam along with Ubuntu but that didn't do anything either. Tried other forums with helpful tips but no good. I'm running out of ideas and I don't know what else I can do. Can someone please help me before I start pulling my hair out? I'm going mad.
Based on this question, execute the following commands:
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}
The idea is that Steam uses it's own dynamic libraries but Ubuntu comes with some new ones, or something like that, any way it works!
NOTE: If you're just installing Steam for the first time, you will need to run the commands a second time after the initial update. This will take a lonnnnnnng time!
UPDATE:
If you use 16.10, the guys from Ubuntu provided a modified installer that takes care of this issues. I would recommend to install Steam from the Ubuntu repositories
Based on Daniel's answer (i don't have the rep to comment!), on a vanilla ubuntu-gnome 15.10 where i've done an 'apt-get install steam' I had to run these modified commands:
mv ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6{,.disable}
mv ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1{,.disable}
So just changing out the .local/share which wasn't present on my system
