Hello @Cyxapic, does any 32 bit opengl application like glxinfo from mesa-utils:i386 work?
I've been fighting with the same problem for a long time. Exactly the same kind of "failed" and "error" messages when trying to start Steam. I'm running Linux Mint 19 and I've not opted in to Steam beta.
Today I found a solution that finally worked for me...
@kisak-valve hello! Try to install mesa-utils:i386 - the same problem. (((
full?
We're mostly interested in if it gets to real hardware glxinfo | grep OpenGL is just as good.
It's a miracle - i'll delete all NVIDIA driver, update system and steam started :dancing_men:
Dont know why :D
But so many traceback errors )))
Glad to hear you got it working. This reads as if your nvidia opengl driver install was incomplete and missing 32 bit support.
Closing as a general system issue and not steam.
The same happens on Ubuntu 19.04 x86-64. Installing the following nvidia libraries for i386 helped me, I hope it also helps others:
libnvidia-compute-XXX:i386 libnvidia-decode-XXX:i386 libnvidia-encode-XXX:i386 libnvidia-ifr1-XXX:i386 libnvidia-fbc1-XXX:i386 libnvidia-gl-XXX:i386
Replace XXX by your current nvidia driver identity (you can find it searching f.e. installed libnvidia-common driver for x86-64 architecture). It was 390 for me.
@kisak-valve it looks improperly still to use i386 architecture only, it is actually deprecated and not enough for the most modern games at the moment.
Nothing extracted yet.
