Output gist

glxgears outputs:

Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate. 301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.066 FPS XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":1" after 56 requests (54 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

I have tried:

  • Reinstalling the os
  • uninstalling and reinstalling drivers
  • uninstalling and reinstalling steam
  • 32bit versions of openGL

Try this: sudo apt-get install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386

Try this: sudo apt-get install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386
That package doesn't seem to be in any repository I have
Edit: yes I have 32 bit repos on and thank you for such a quick response

@tmarkwell16 how did you install NVIDIA's proprietary drivers? Using a package or manually by using nvidia-installer?

Hello @tmarkwell16, you tested with a 64 bit build of glxinfo, but Steam is 32 bit, so a 32 bit build of glxinfo from mesa-utils:i386 would give you more relevant feedback.

nVidia's 32 bit userspace package in Ubuntu 18.04 has a naming scheme of libnvidia-gl-<series>, so in your case, if it exists the 32 bit opengl support would be in libnvidia-gl-418:i386.

There's a good chance this is a duplicate of #5778. nVidia's cuda .deb packaging for ubuntu 18.04 and newer is known to be missing 32 bit support.

@dreamer I downloaded the .Deb package from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux and installed from there!
