Steam (runtime) not launching

General system Gaming, sound and video
4

I just checked on the old notebook of mine, the runtime is broken yes.

  1. If you have a steam runtime desktop icon right click on it and open with kwriter
  2. Find Exec=/usr/bin/steam-runtime %U
  3. Rename it to Exec=/usr/bin/steam %U
  4. Save it
  5. Run steam from desktop

If you launch it from the start menu you can do the same, icon is located under /home/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/.local/share/applications or copy the newly .desktop file over there.
