Hello,
I've installed Portal 2 through POL: 
the game launches Valve logo is showing and a glimpse of the title too then it just crashes.
Can anybody help me?

Here are my specs:
cpu: i5
graphic card: nvidia gtx560 1GB
ram: 4GB

The OS is an ubuntu derivative (elementary OS) 64bit.
Nvidia proprietary drivers are properly installed.

here is the debug log

Ok I found a solution

I had to give this command before running the game

echo 0|sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
