Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I hope this issue is resolvable tho I wish to keep up-to-date with drivers etc.

On startup steam mumbles about not finding libGL.so.1

This issue I temporarily could solve by linking this:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

Now I get a Steam error window with "glxChooseVisual Failed"

I suspect the latest NVIDIA propietary driver (time of writing/418.39) are borking the 32bit libs and their system linking.

Note: NVIDIA propietary driver 410.48 are a great fallback driver even with CUDA 10.0!

So, is there anything I can do except switching back to 410.48?

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. install nvidia binary driver 418.39

2. run this command in terminal to link libGL.so.1:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

1. watch it crash

EDIT: Yes this might have nothing to do with this specific issue but can be connected tho. I noticed with the latest binary driver (418.39) WINE has also issues loading up d3d9. I hope this is an indicator for something.

Thank you for reading.
