Linux core dump on start

[buzzybug]

Had it working perfectly under linux mint.
I installed a new disk drive and so had to re-install mint.
Tried to run my existing installation and it core dumped.
so started over with a freshly downloaded launcher, and it’s core dumping too.

linux mint 20.2 Uma, using the nvidia-470 driver.

can’t do much because there’s absolutely no clue as to what might be going on.

help !

Thanks.

and … it’s fixed.
this is a total WTF moment ?!
i would like to preface by saying i did NOT, repeat: did NOT, reboot.

i have steam running on linux. however i had one game under steam that didn’t want to work (Torchlight 2 if you must know, lol).

I had some steam cruft leftover from the fact that i copied over my home directory, so i went through and found every steam related folder, which was only a couple of them, and deleted them. there was also a .steampid file and another hidden file lying around that i deleted too.

then i re-installed steam.
downloaded T2 again (i deleted the steam game directory)
T2 now runs. i thought “cool”.

then, just for giggles, i tried LE again.
wtf ?! the new launcher i downloaded starts working.

so i cancel it and move to my previous directory, and try that version again.

AND IT WORKS.

The only thing i can think of is that the steam installation from scratch maybe pulls in some dependent libraries (it’s a debian package, so that might happen) ?? But those libraries would have been there the 1st time i ran steam (since i had to re-install it for the new disk drive).

it’s very confusing.

I’m very happy, but this seems really weird…

I think you are right with your guess… It could very well be that Steam on Linux re-installed some missing dependencies when you re-installed it - or even just updated a library… It could be that your messing with the “cruft” leftovers forced Steam to reinstall things it had assumed where already working/in place but were not in the correct place/outdated versions… and the side effect of this was fixing the launcher too?

No idea really… i dont tend to mess under the hood with Linux - at least not for desktop/gaming use…

Glad it got working again… Who knew updating Steam on Linux would help the LE launcher work…

[buzzybug]

i’ve run executables that are missing libraries and they just error out, they don’t core dump.

Also, note to future travelers

ldd

I completely forgot about that command. Wish i had remembered to try it before i re-installed steam.
