Steam Doesn't Launch After Update

[jacob9]

So after I closed my Steam to allow it to update, I thought it'd was smooth.. But when I tried to open it, it just says "Veryifying Installation" and then closes... I've restarted my computer, updated Linux to the latest Kernel, updated my Nvidia drivers to 325.08, did a complete refresh install of Steam, and I've created new sessions.. Then I thought it'd be a good idea to see the errors from terminal... Welp, here they are.

Help?

*Note
It all worked before, I was playing Garry's Mod for about a week or three.

I FOUND A FIX, FROM GTUX ON STEAM FORUMS!


[fix]
killall steam
rm -Rf ~/.steam/steam/appcache
steam

Thank you, had the same problem, and your fix worked!

Thanks! I had a similar but different problem, but it worked for me too.

Cool, it works for me.

But why is this happening ?
