Steam will not start

[whm1974]

The Steam Client will not start when I try to call it up. When using the Terminal this is what I get:

steam
steam.sh[34711]: Running Steam on manjarolinux 21.2.6 64-bit
steam.sh[34711]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
setup.sh[34785]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!
steam.sh[34711]: Steam client's requirements are satisfied

You are in the 'publicbeta' client beta.
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1652308694)
SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

This is after I updated Manjaro this morning. Does using the Public Beta matter, is so how do I change this manually?

I use the public beta of steam and can start steam with no issues, altho I’m on gnome and in the testing branch so we might have some differences in system.

Doing some searching this should remove you from the beta:

rm -f ~/.steam/steam/package/beta

The presence of this file triggers the update to the public beta it seems.

You can try to reset:

steam --reset

Removing the complete .steam & .local/share/Steam/ folders has helped some users.

Edit: This seems like a thread to check out.

I fixed the problem by using steam --reset and rebooting afterwards. Thanks.
