Steam doesn't start after installing nvidia-driver-465. It works with nvidia-driver-460, however.

I'm having this same issue with nvidia-driver-465

My Specs:
OS: Linux Mint 20.1 x86_64
Kernel: 5.8.0-50-generic
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (12) @ 3.800GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080
RAM: 16GB

Hello @nipnipj, the nVidia proprietary driver requires that the running kernel module, 32 bit userspace, and 64 bit userspace have exactly the same version to work properly. Can you check that you have the 32 bit userspace installed with something like apt policy libnvidia-gl-465 libnvidia-gl-465:i386 and if it isn't then install it with sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-465:i386?

If apt complains, then please share the output of apt policy for us to ponder together.

However the following packages replace it:

I would like to add that I tested a game outside steam and it works normally.

Thanks @nipnipj, that tells us there's an issue between the Proprietary Graphics PPA and Launchpad. It looks like the build farm didn't kick off an i386 build for Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.10, most likely because the 465 driver series hasn't been explicitly whitelisted to allow for 32 bit builds on those distro releases.

This issue needs to be resolved by the repo maintainers, not by Valve.

Seems like isn't nvidia faults neither.
Similar bug can be report in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect. or https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers.
