    Hello, i've installed Fedora 22 on my PC today everything went good through installation, but when i install skype and steam, following these tutorials: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/que...-22-and-steam/, https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/que...ype-on-fedora/, i get this error message in terminal when i try to launch them:
    Running Steam on fedora 22 64-bit
    STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
    Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0)
    /home/stoyan/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 756: 7457 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $STEAM_DEBUGGER "$STEAMROOT/$STEAMEXEPATH" "$@"
    for Steam and
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)

    Re: Skype/Steam cant start on Fedora 22 x64

    You installed steam from the negativo repo? Try uninstalling it and using the version in the rpmfusion-nonfree repo, that should work.

    As for skype, it's working just fine for me, 4.3 version from the Skype website.

    Same exact problems here, also just installed Fedora 22 x64 yesterday as well. I've read from a few places that reinstalling Fedora can fix it. Going to attempt to do so now and report back with what I find.

    Installed skype from rpm fusion and it works fine for me. Package is lpf-skype which you run after it installs and it sets up Skype.

    Re: Skype/Steam cant start on Fedora 22 x64

    I was able to successfully install Skype and Steam after reinstallation. I believe my issue was that I installed the non-free Nvidia drivers off their website before installing Skype and steam. Not sure if you ever installed Nvidia drivers, but after installing Skype and Steam before the Nvidia driver, it works.
    I also believe that because you're on x64, like me, your compatability with 32-bit programs could be broken. If I can remember the library names, I'll edit the post and put them here.
