Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1626824053
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): linuxmint 20.2 64-bit (based on Ubuntu 20.04)
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Graphic driver: NVIDIA 470.57.02

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam won't start after updating graphics driver, which is needed for CUDA usage.
Tried restarting,
See below for steam log, which mentions GLX issue but running glxinfo and glxgears from mesa-utils the output seems fine.

Tried to install libnvidia-gl-470:i386 similar to suggestion here: [#4909](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/4909#issuecomment-620658130) for 32-bit library and it worked!

I guess steam still depends on 32-bit libraries, so I guess the issue is remove reliance on 32-bit library's?

IIdrisTheDragon 2021-07-22 github

Actually nvm, that did not work, it reverted me to using the nouveau driver and completely broke my installation of the 470 driver...

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2021-07-22 github

Hello @IdrisTheDragon, the nvidia proprietary driver requires that the running kernel module, 32 bit userspace libraries, and 64 bit userspace libraries are all installed and have exactly the same version to work properly. We also know that nVidia's CUDA PPA does not provide packages for their 32 bit userspace libraries (#5778).

I'm guessing you've already reconfigured your system back to where you started. Can you clarify what method you used to install this driver? Also, please share the output of apt policy libnvidia-gl-470 libnvidia-gl-470:i386 and what apt wants to change with sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-470:i386?

IIdrisTheDragon 2021-07-23 github

Yep I reverted the changes.
Installed the driver using the .run from here: 470.57.02 but I did also try via sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470 (If relevant I installed CUDA from here)

Thanks @IdrisTheDragon, you have encountered the issue that is being tracked at #5778. Debian's multiarch implementation requires that package variants have exactly the same version, and nVidia's CUDA PPA does not provide a package for their 32 bit userspace libraries (libnvidia-gl-470:i386). When you told apt to install it, the version from Ubuntu's repositories (470.57.02-0ubuntu0.20.04.1) does not match the installed package (libnvidia-gl-470) from CUDA PPA's (470.57.02-0ubuntu1), so it tried to resolve the issue by removing the installed package variant. To properly fix this issue, nVidia's PPA maintainers would need to start providing the missing package.

You can give #5778 a read for workarounds. The general idea is that you should be able to use a slightly newer (or in this case, the slightly differently named) nVidia driver version from Ubuntu's repositories or from https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa with the individual CUDA packages you need, and avoid using CUDA's metapackage that explicitly wants the bundled driver from their PPA.

Closing in favor of #5778.
