Can't open Steam


Distro: Kubuntu 15.04

When I type Steam in the terminal I get this error:

Code:
Running Steam on ubuntu 15.04 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
[2015-08-19 01:24:28] Startup - updater built Aug 12 2015 10:04:47    
SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred                                    
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
How can I fix it ?

Running Steam

A Steam icon should now be present in the Unity Launcher and possibly on your desktop -- depending on your Desktop Environment. Alternatively, click on the Ubuntu icon in the upper left corner and search for steam in the Dash.

Log in via the Steam client and in the Store section look for a Linux tab to see the native titles available for purchase or install.

The Steam for Linux official Hub is worth visiting for future announcements and other information, as well as active discussion about the client and games.

Usually when I run into X and/or Mesa realted problems with Steam on a machine with radeon drivers this helps for me: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...runtime_issues

Alternatively you can run steam overriding those libraries.

LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/$LIB/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/$LIB/libxcb.so.1' steam
