Steam error "No such file or directory" for 17.04
When I run command steam in the terminal it gives me this error.
$ steam
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
xz: (stdin): File format not recognized
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
find: ‘/home/jacob/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime’: No such file or directory
and when I click on the icon it tries to open for a few seconds and then goes away.
Simply open terminal and type:
mkdir /home/$USER/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime
This creates the missing directory, it worked for me when I had exactly the same error in 17.04.
