Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): steam-1.0.0.54-10.fc26.src.rpm from rpmfusion-nonfree
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Fedora 26, Kernel 4.13 64bits, proprietary Nvidea drivers
Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] Not sure about that
Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I installed steam by runing # dnf install steam
Then run steam from start menu (from terminal nothing changes)
The accept terms of conditions appear, I hit Yes
Segmentation Fault, full message:

Repairing installation, linking /home/lassade/.steam/steam to /home/lassade/.local/share/Steam

I tried a few different forums and even an issue very similar to this one in this git repo. But the thing is none of them seem like is the same kind of error because I only get this tiny log, that does not help much in track down the problem.

Any ideas how to proceed?

Hello @lassade, can you check if any 32 bit opengl application works?

Llassade 2017-10-24 github

Blender works fine, I also used glfw3 and gl3w in one of my programs no problem. Sorry they aren't 32 bits;
Let me see if i found something

Edit: There's any 32bit app that a I can try? I can't find one

Llassade 2017-10-24 github

Yea maybe there is a problem with 32 bit opengl just tried Godot Engine 32bit gives segmentation fault, backtrace is almost the same as steam.

I am having the exact same problem as described here. Also on Fedora 26 with 384.90 nvidia proprietary drivers.

Llassade 2017-10-25 github

I was just about to update the nvidia driver, but I guess won't.
I'm pretty sure this is a problem with nvidia, Yesterday I got steam working in my notebook that have the same specs but don't have an nvidia card.

@Trophonix can you see if Godot Engine 32bit or any other 32bits application that uses opengl works in your system?

Llassade 2017-10-29 github

Any updates?

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2017-10-30 github

In case it's not clear, steam requires a working 32 bit opengl driver, and this needs to be fixed on your system. If this is not easy to fix, then you should reach out to your distro's community for help with that.

TTrophonix 2017-10-30 github

In case someone saw that last message, I derped. I installed Windows Steam under wine as a test and after doing some opengl stuff I accidentally ran that, so I thought it was fixed. Heh... Anyway, 32 bit opengl applications do not work for me still. I'll keep following that line of thinking and see if I can find anyway to get it to work.

I might be switching back to Manjaro soon, though. I was just doing test runs with a few distros to see what I thought, but I still prefer Manjaro.

Llassade 2017-11-24 github

Hey every one, I managed to fix this issue.
I guess the frist time I installed the nvidia drivers I do not installed the 32-bit compatibility libs.
For anyone facing the same issue:

reboot at runlevel 3
rerun the nvidia install once again, and when it aks you to install the 32 libs hit yes

Nothing extracted yet.
