Hello @temper1234, can you check if any OpenGL application like glxinfo works? Also, can you clarify what you mean by "just blank"?

Based just on the short terminal spew you've shared, we've seen a similar scenario before where an NVIDIA proprietary driver user updates their video driver, and NVIDIA's proprietary driver requires that the running kernel module, 32 bit userspace, and 64 bit userspace have exactly the same version to work properly. If they aren't, then any OpenGL application can get stuck waiting on the video driver during initialization. If you're an NVIDIA user and allowed the package manager to do a video driver update recently, then the loaded kernel module for NVIDIA could still be the older version while the userspace libraries on disk are a newer version and the easiest way to clear that situation is to reboot the system.

I have the same issue. After I updated the NVIDIA driver from 470 to 510, steam launches without any response. After reboot it can sometimes start, but more often there is still no response.

I've also had the exact same issue as OP, couldn't start Steam again after having left it for awhile.
In that time frame, I did update my NVIDIA driver from 470 to 510. Just tried reverting it, and now Steam works! Seems like the NVIDIA driver version is the core problem. Thanks for the tip @im20A0 !
I find it weird though, because on my computer, I've never been able to make NVIDIA graphics work on Linux (from Linux Mint 20.1 to 20.3), so why would Steam look at a graphics card whose driver isn't even recognized by the OS? Mysterious.

EDIT : Actually, despite returning to NVIDIA 470, I got the same problem again, so changing NVIDIA driver version is not a complete fix either. Still got Steam to work again by rebooting though.

Rebooting worked for me

Reverting is only a temporary solution, but how did you do it (so I can too)?

my output is just this:

➜  ~ steam
steam.sh[7493]: Running Steam on manjarolinux 21.3.1 64-bit
steam.sh[7493]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
setup.sh[7567]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!
steam.sh[7493]: Steam client's requirements are satisfied

Can't track anything in sudo journalctl -xe

Edit: I removed 510 from Manjaro hardware settings and installed 470xx one. it worked now.

Just change NVIDIA driver 5xx to 4xx and it will work.

That's not a solution.

That's not a solution.

It did worked for my computer Ubuntu 22.04LTS.Your system info?

It worked for me as well. I replied. But thing is I want to use latest
and greatest because new games are working on it, not 4xx.

Btw, last time i checked steam flatpak worked for like 1 day and its
broken now.
I posted other info above.

For anyone experiencing this issue, that does happen when your current installed Nvidia Drivers are different from the ones our system has loaded, that is to say, your Nvidia drivers have been updated.

The fix is to just reboot to make the drivers match again and then steam will open.

The fact is rebooting didn't work for me otherwise it wasn't an issue
