I am getting this error when I launch steam. I just installed the proprietary Nvidia drivers for the GTX 1080 TI.

Hello @pmpbar, can you confirm you have a working 32 bit opengl driver stack?

A 32 bit build of glxinfo or glxgears should be sufficient to do a test.

$ glxgears works, is it 32 bit by default? Do I need to build a new version with -m32 or something?

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2017-12-10 github

Taking a look at Fedora's, it looks like the i686 mesa-demos package provides glxinfo32 for this kind of troubleshooting. I'd expect glxgears is 64 bit on a 64 bit distro unless you've gone out of your way to grab a 32 bit build.

What I suspect is going on here is a package named something like nvidia-driver-libs.i686 is missing on your system. (from https://negativo17.org/nvidia-driver/)

Woohoo! That was the issue thank you so much!

$ sudo dnf install nvidia-driver-libs.i686

I just ran into this issue, also using Fedora 27. Is this fixable using only RPMFusion?
Or do I really need the negativo17 repo?

Hello @jjpe, that's just a reference for where I got the name of a 32 bit nVidia driver package. Perhaps you're looking for the i686 variant of xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs?

Jjjpe 2017-12-20 github

That depends. Will that conflict with the Nvidia drivers installed as a .run file (which I DL'ed from their website)?
If not, I can install it. Otherwise i'd need to undo that I suppose.

You'll need to ask your community how that interaction works out in practice, but in general, it's bad to bypass the package manager with installers like that and nVidia's userspace library version must match the running kernel module's version.
