do you have libnvidia-gl-450:i386 installed ?
I am using the 455 drivers, why would I install this? I have the 455 installed, but not for i386.
Sorry thought I saw 450, ok do you have libnvidia-gl-455:i386 installed?
No. Is it needed?
yes
If i try to install it it says this, which I am not sure is a good idea...
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libnvidia-gl-455 libnvidia-ifr1-455 nvidia-driver-455
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libnvidia-gl-455:i386
Can you give this a try?
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt remove nvidia-*
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-455
That repo was already installed, it's where i got nvidia-driver-455.
already enabled 32 bit?
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
Yes, no change. apt still wants to blow away the 455 drivers if I try to
install that 32-bit lib.

you enabled 32 bit before or after you install the drivers?
Here is a similar issue albeit a little old, https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5884
Ok! That similar issue helped! I did this:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt remove 'nvidia-*-455' 'libnvidia-*-455' 'cuda*'
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cuda*
sudo reboot
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-455
sudo reboot
Removal of the libnvidia stuff was required to reinstall nvidia-driver-455 for some weird reason. The libs were all a bit older. Having cuda along with the 32 bit files also appears to cause problems with apt but I don't need the cuda stuff anyway.
That all resulted in the 32 bit stuff also being installed and fixed the problem. Thanks!
Awesome glad you got it working!

Whenever I run Steam it starts to try to update the client then crashes. Running it manually from a shell results in this:
There is nothing in the error.log or in journalctl. glxinfo produces this:
I am using the Nvidia driver recommended by "ubuntu-drivers devices":
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling all drivers and Steam. Same result.
