After installing and updating, whenever I start Steam, it gives me the following error:
Running Steam on ubuntu 15.04 64-bit

SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
I tried to find a solution to a similar error, but I was not able to find.
Can anyone please help?

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
Type these into the terminal; it worked for me. Copied from this thread, posted by sejvenables, who copied it from someplace else.

I had the same problem on Ubuntu 15.10, with an nvidia board. WPOH’s solution made Steam work, but caused noticeable performance and mouse lag issues on some games.
Using the proprietary nvidia drivers fixed the problem without impacting the performance.
To revert those changes:
mv $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6{.bak,}
mv $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6{.bak,}
And to install the updated proprietary nvidia drivers: open «Software & Updates», go to «Additional Drivers», select the latest binary nvidia driver (352.41 as of now) and then reboot the system. That did the trick for me

Based on Urgazhi’s answer, you can do the following:
- Open the file
$HOME/.steam/steam.shin a text editor -
Add these as the first two lines of the file:
export LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6' export DISPLAY=:0 -
Save and launch steam normally.

I was getting this problem because I had just installed the proprietary drivers but had not yet restarted my system. Silly I know, but hopefully this might help someone else.
Once I rebooted steam no longer had this problem for me.

#!/bin/bash
export LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6' #Export so all child processes are affected as well
export DISPLAY=:0
steam -tcp
Easiest way to start steam would be to set the above shell script as an alias so when you call ‘steam’ in your cmd it will execute it.

i did have the same problem with the libgl errors
the fix in the steam.sh worked great until steam updated.
after 2 days i discovered that my pc wasn’t booting in UEFI mode.
so i booted up in UEFI mode and steam started up with no struggle at all.
i hope that this story helped some of you

Note that the command does not exit, it just doesn’t do anything after the error.
I moved my ~/.steam folder elsewhere and restarted steam. This only results in Steam updating itself and after that running into the same exception.
P.S.
Some other threads (with other problems) suggest to do steam --reset. This results in
$ steam --reset
Error: Couldn't find bootstrap, it's not safe to reset Steam. Please contact technical support.
This seems related to #3801
It seems that switching to proprietary drivers fixes this issue. I have a Sapphire R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 and use the open-source drivers. Switching to the proprietary drivers makes Steam run without issues.
with «fixes», I mean «is usable as a workaround».
Same issue, glxgears and info both report no issues.
Same issue here. Steam worked fine for me in Kubuntu 14.04 until I upgraded to 15.04 last week.
I have an ATI card and am using the open source drivers. Any way to get Steam working again under such a configuration? (Issue #3801 workaround only address Nvidia cards)
Also — is there a way to get a more verbose error message from steam.sh?
Same issue, switched from the proprietary driver to the open source drivers and this was the result.
On Ubuntu 15.04 with Radeon R9 270X
Same issue, Ubuntu 15.04 with a Radeon 7770.
Same issue here, after upgrading from Ubuntu 14.04 (x64) to 15.04 (x64) with a Radeon HD5870.
Same here, works fine on the proprietary driver, would rather use the open source drivers though.
As mentioned in #3801, deleting the file libstdc++.so.6 that ships with steam (and with some games like Portal 2) fixes the issue.

I’m also getting this, as mentioned earlier by Sheado the fix in issue #3801 doesn’t work with my amd card. Using open source drivers and xubuntu 15.04 with Radeon HD5850. Would prefer to stay on open source drivers since they have been more stable for me.
Hmm, same issue on Ubuntu 15.04. But my system only has Intel HD3000 video.

I got it working briefly by deleting the libstdc++ but it seemed to have broken quickly after that, repeaded deletion of the file didn’t seem to help. Gave up on steam on linux, moving to a virtual windows. (Seems easier)
Also, source code would be sweet. Not sure if there is stuff in the source you can’t share but I love trying to fix issues like this.
Switched from nvidia to nouveau for a bit to compare (and maybe try some Gallium Nine goodness). Then hit this issue.
I had the same issue. Once I ran
rm ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
The issue went away for now. I think someone else mentioned that it broke again eventually.
In my case, I discovered the issue was $LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH not set properly for both 64-bit and 32-bit drivers.
FWIW, I compiled 64-bit mesa, libdrm and xf86-video-nouveau into /opt/xorg, and 32-bit into /opt/xorg-x86 (not wanting to overwrite system packages or to immediately build packages myself), so I needed to export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/opt/xorg/lib/dri:/opt/xorg-x86/lib/dri to make this work with Steam.
Strange it was already working with other applications like Tux Racer and Super Tux Kart, but likely because those are strictly 64-bit applications (when installed as a distro package). Ideally one would receive an informative error from Steam about this, since it’s a condition the bash wrapper scripts can check for.
This problem is due to some outdated libraries in the steam folder. While the steam team update them, the solution is to delete them (so steam will take them from the system).
rm ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
rm ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
rm ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
rm ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
rm ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1
WGG25, limdingwen, ghusta, devanubis, and fabiopolancoe reacted with heart emoji

This worked ! Thank you very much.
Steam for linux sucks! I can’t get it installed after spending hours. I have also installed latest Nvidia Geforce 8600 proprietary driver , removed the above packages, tried with —reset flag and still I keep seeing the following crash message.

In any case you might be able to get by with skipping the first line of my snippet in the post above entirely. (it’s just a hack to download the latest update for my situation before running the provided steam script that worked on my machine).
Ok, you’ve wroted what’s the wrong! $Buntu is not Debian; $Buntu is diff than Debian.

@floarc you should re-open this issue since the bug remains.
(Not like they are paying attention anyway)
Having this same issue, however switching from open drivers to closed ones doesn’t change a thing.
EDIT: I’m so sick of Steam constantly crashing I just wiped Ubuntu and reinstalled it, works now.
Why is this issue closed?
I’m running AMD Radeon with the opensource driver and had the same error.
Removing those libs also fixed it for me (#3820 (comment)), but that’s quite the workaround.
Hello @peteruithoven, this issue is one of many symptoms of the steam runtime interacting with newer distro releases. We will be tracking steam runtime issues cumulatively from now on at #4768.
With the latest update this error came back in the steam public beta
Have this error not in beta. I have clearly installed kubuntu 18 and gigabyte GeForce GTX 970, driver vresion 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.116
And I don’t have files libstdc++.so.6 in any(86/x64) dirs
I fix it after update drivers:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
I’m still getting this.

I have the same error, but it only occurs when I have nvidia selected as the graphics card.. So if I do sudo prime-select nvidia steam doesn’t load, if I do sudo prime-select intel then it works fine..
Yeah this just started happening to me today after updating Ubuntu.

Ok, I just fixed it by installing the 32bit nvidia libs
sudo apt-get install libnvidia-gl-440:i386
i was able to fix my issue same as above but with the nvidia 435 drivers
sudo apt-get install libnvidia-gl-435:i386
I have the both 64 and 32 bit installed but still same error
sudo aptitude search ~i | grep -i nvidia-gl
iB libnvidia-gl-440 - NVIDIA OpenGL/GLX/EGL/GLES GLVND libraries and Vulkan ICD
iB libnvidia-gl-440:i386 - NVIDIA OpenGL/GLX/EGL/GLES GLVND libraries and Vulkan ICD

I thought I would share my experience here.
This error also seems to be caused by having the wrong Nvidia graphics driver active.
In the terminal I ran ubuntu-drivers devices, which indicated which driver was recommended.
Under «Additional Drivers», I had several conflicting options due to an earlier struggle with installing CUDA. I deleted all useless packages with sudo apt autoremove and rebooted. This cleared up a lot of the options under «Additional Drivers». When I switched to the driver which was recommended from ubuntu-drivers devices, Steam was able to launch again.
I just hit this same problem as well, running Pop!_OS 20.10. I installed some updates earlier today, and tried running Steam this evening, and got the same error everyone else has described here X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation).
I ran ubuntu-drivers devices, and based on @iboates suggestion to install the «recommended» version, ran sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-460:i386. This made it possible to run the Steam again, but it was super glitchy (blocked out splotches of the UI). Moreover, when I tried playing a game the rendering was slower than molasses. Tried to play a video on youtube, and it wasn’t quite that bad (marginally watchable at least), but was still very jagged.
After switching back to the amd64 version (sudo apt-get install libnvidia-gl-460), videos were playing fine again on youtube, but Steam wouldn’t start again (same error as before). I tried sudo apt-get install vulkan-tools vulkan-utils, but that didn’t seem to fix anything.
Any other ideas here on what to try? Thanks in advance.
I always have this issue after updating or switching drivers. Usually rebooting solves the issue.
Unfortunately, I’ve rebooted more times than I care to count now (after trying to install quite a few different combinations of drivers, autoremoving, etc). Still no dice.
getting this issue as well on pop os after a recent upgrade
Edit: i think it worked after i installed a second nvidia driver? (libnvidia-gl-460:i386 and libnvidia-gl-440:i386)
After running dpkg -i steam_latest.deb I get:

I’ve just decided to give up and use wine to run it instead.
Having this issue on Arch even with 32bit libs installed
Update from me: At some point a few weeks ago, things just started working again ¯_(ツ)_/¯
My guess is that some packages were out of alignment, and that the issue was fixed in a later update.
Still valid bug, should be reopened:

Hello @snowinmars, the NVIDIA proprietary driver requires that the video driver’s running kernel module, 64 bit userspace libraries, and 32 bit userspace libraries have exactly the same version to work properly. You can not mix and match between point releases.
From your package listing:
Kernel module: nvidia-470xx-dkms 470.86
64 bit userspace: nvidia-470xx-utils 470.86
32 bit userspace: lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils 470.94
This is an invalid system configuration and all 32 bit OpenGL applications will stall or fail when they try to use the mismatched driver component.
After installing and updating, whenever I start Steam, it gives me the following error:
Running Steam on ubuntu 15.04 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

I tried to find a solution to a similar error, but I was not able to find.
Can anyone please help?

I had the same problem on Ubuntu 15.10, with an nvidia board. WPOH’s solution made Steam work, but caused noticeable performance and mouse lag issues on some games.
Using the proprietary nvidia drivers fixed the problem without impacting the performance.
To revert those changes:
mv $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6{.bak,}
mv $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6{.bak,}
And to install the updated proprietary nvidia drivers: open «Software & Updates», go to «Additional Drivers», select the latest binary nvidia driver (352.41 as of now) and then reboot the system. That did the trick for me

Based on Urgazhi’s answer, you can do the following:
- Open the file
$HOME/.steam/steam.shin a text editor -
Add these as the first two lines of the file:
export LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6' export DISPLAY=:0 -
Save and launch steam normally.

I was getting this problem because I had just installed the proprietary drivers but had not yet restarted my system. Silly I know, but hopefully this might help someone else.
Once I rebooted steam no longer had this problem for me.
answered Oct 3, 2015 at 4:22
#!/bin/bash
export LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6' #Export so all child processes are affected as well
export DISPLAY=:0
steam -tcp
Easiest way to start steam would be to set the above shell script as an alias so when you call ‘steam’ in your cmd it will execute it.

i did have the same problem with the libgl errors
the fix in the steam.sh worked great until steam updated.
after 2 days i discovered that my pc wasn’t booting in UEFI mode.
so i booted up in UEFI mode and steam started up with no struggle at all.
i hope that this story helped some of you

Hi,
I did a fresh install and I’m putting all thing to run again. But I’m facing a trouble now I can’t run anything with optirun / primusrun. I’m getting the same error as with wine or steam.
My video cards:
[henrique@archlinux Win32]$ lspci | grep -e VGA -e 3D
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218M [GeForce 310M] (rev a2)
[henrique@archlinux Win32]$
And when I’m trying to run a game by wine Dishonored I get this message with primus or optirun:
[henrique@archlinux Win32]$ optirun -vv wine Dishonored.exe
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

And the same if I run a steam game:

I’ve followed the Wiki_Bumblebee to install bumblebee and using Intel/Nvidia.
Any ideas to solve this issue? I’ve found a lot of thing about this issue, but nothing to solve my problem.
Thanks a lot.
EDIT:
The problem was the dependencies with nvidia-340xx.
I’ve installed all the correct dependencies and now works!
[henrique@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Q | grep -i -e libgl -e nvidia -e nouveau

I generally do not trust the wording of «the repository» as from time to time it can mean different things to different people, sorry.

I didn’t test steam with nouveau usually I don’t bother, the performance loss is just too great in the projects current state.
The idea is to test if Steam is actually working with a different driver, I did not expect you to settle with it.

I will try to reinstall the Nvidia driver and report here, outside of nvidia-xconfig I don’t know what «configuring X properly» entails.
That is the preferred way, nvidia-xconfig generally does a great job. Sadly some people need to change settings in their xorg.conf. But it is likely not the case, just an idea thrown out. I am correct if it is a desktop machine with only an Nvidia card?

I did not tell you to Google search, I refuse to use the synonym as it brands a general tool. *shakes fist*.
I was searching for the error that I have quoted and it came up with the results I have already mentioned.
pazg1234 wrote:
I did neglect to mention that I’m currently coming from Arch where I used I3 and steam worked to (as I mentioned) Debian Buster with Openbox
I cannot help much with testing/unstable as I do not run it, it maybe a bug or compatibility with libraries…. Or something else.
pazg1234 wrote:
EDIT: Reinstalled the Nvidia driver now with «apt —reinstall nvidia-driver» and rebooted, it still gives the same errors.
AFAIK that would only reinstall the nvidia-driver package? You would need to completely uninstall all Nvidia packages from your system, then reinstall it.
You can also check if you have the correct headers installed or if the nouveau driver is properly blacklisted.
It is an issue I have not seen before, but I hope you get it sorted.
p.s. After some reading around I see people mention that a specific version of the Nvidia driver with steams libraries can cause the problem? But take it with a grain of salt, as I said before that I do not use the development releases of Debian.
