same problem. Before it was installed TF2 and use this solution for black screen. GKSU installed, libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0 installed.
Same here since update.

The GUI asked me to do enter my password to update the /usr/bin/steam but after that it didn't work.

Exact same issue as others
Ubuntu 12:04 32 bit

My Steam client was updated successfully. It works fine + Serious Sam 3:BFE was added to the list of games.

System: Ubuntu 12.10 64bit.
karmik Nov 20, 2012 @ 2:24am 
Also, it doesn't ask me for the password.
Antimon Nov 20, 2012 @ 3:11am 
Same here. Steam is broken after update. Renaming steam.sh so it's being re-downloaded doesn't work. Xubuntu 12.04 64bit.
northernNed Nov 20, 2012 @ 3:20am

System: Ubuntu 12.10 32bit
