Receiving Error when trying to load Steam (Ubuntu 64-bit)
Recently, I upgraded my Ubuntu system to 16.04 LTS, but when trying to startup Steam, I was getting the following error:
Running Steam on ubuntu 16.04 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
After searching on the internet for a while, the fix found is actually quite simple and worked for me.
How to fix
$ cd $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
$ mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak
$ cd $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
$ mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak
