Hello @pthfdr-42, the minidump you attached is a SIGSEGV in libdbus-1.so.3.5.8, and is also involving libnm-glib.so.4.3.0 (part of networkmanager). Pulseaudio does not appear to be related.

Can you list the contents of ~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/pinned_libs_*?

Nothing.
ls: cannot access '/home/pthfdr/.steam/ubuntu12_32/pinned_libs_*': No such file or directory
Here is the packages installed on my PC:
apt list --installed
I use CENI instead of NetworkManager.I am not a member of the cult of systemd.

It turns out it is the problem with the propriety Nvidia driver.Changed my display card to an AMD one and using the open source driver solves the problem.

Nothing extracted yet.
