I installed steam through the multiverse repository. Yet when trying to start it the client won't show. On first start, it will update steam, yet once that finished no steam client will pop up and each start of steam will result in direct exit.
When running from terminal, it will log:
$ steam

Looks like steam didn't shutdown cleanly, scheduling immediate update check

I find it confusing that no apparent error seems to be logged.
I both removed my ~/.steam/steam/appcache at first, and then I purged my entire ~/.steam/ folder to no avail.
It was working fine when running 16.04.
How can I start the steam client?
