last night i had steam running, played a game, then exited and also exited steam. did an chore here at home and then about an hour later started steam back up and it wouldn't start. i could't get it to start, and still can't.

what i have tried:
1) removing all steam directories in my home directory so steam installs itself. the re-install seems to work, however steam still won't start.
2) checked the gentoo steam wiki to ensure any changes since i first installed steam were up-to-date. they are.
3) last night ran emerge -e @world. this finished, rebooted, and then tried the above step to clean up all remnants of steam from my home directory again. steam seems to re-installs itself fine, however still won't launch.

when starting steam, it's complaining that steamwebhelper has crashed. i looked at the steamwebhelper log file (which points me to cef_log.txt). in cef_log.txt i can see the following (this is the entire contents of the txt file):

is anyone else running into this? no updates were done to my box in the hour steam was closed, and i don't recall that there was an update to steam when i tried to relaunch it.

i'm using an nvidia card with the proprietary drivers, stable version (535.154.05).

Looking at the Github issues for Steam on Linux, it seems there are several people complaining about the exact same thing. So I think this is just another certified Valve Linux Moment™.

apparently with a recent steam update changes have been made and having your home directory in an nfs mount causes steam to not work. i have tried creating a local home directory and installed steam and it works now. it still does not work if my home directory is located on an nfs mount.
