I don't know anything about it either, but out of common sense have you tried reinstalling?

that usually doesn't remove configs...
you can try in terminal with purge:
apt -> apt-get remove --purge steam
or with dpkg -> dpkg --purge steam
it will remove steam itself and clean all steam configuration files.
after that you may run apt-get clean

Man I would kiss you now (well, I DONT want to kiss you, but you get the idea). This worked. I will have to keep that commmand on a note or something. Thanks a lot!
Btw is kinda stupid that Valve is trying to make their way into the Linux market and they havent fixed this kind of issues. While looking in the internet about people with the same problem I saw A LOT of people complaining that Steam wouldnt start for different reasons (seems like in Linux Steam has more bugs than in other OSs)
Anyway, thanks a lot, you made my day

I'm new to Linux so I don't know if I did something wrong but as soon as I installed Linux in my laptop and updated all the defaults programs, I installed Steam.
Everything was well for a few weeks but a week ago Steam stopped working. When I click the icon nothing happens.
When I type "steam" in the Terminal I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/steamdeps", line 419, in <module>
sys.exit(main())
File "/usr/bin/steamdeps", line 381, in main
line = line.decode( "utf-8" ).strip()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xfa in position 50: invalid start byte
Anybody knows how to solve this issue?
