Steam client crashes on start in Ubuntu 18.04 #5408

After doing a complete apt purge of steam and steam-launcher, then reinstalling from the multiverse repo, I was able to get it started. It first ran the updater and then started fine. |
|
I am having this issue as well and it did not get fixed with a purge and removing ~/.local/share/Steam |

`dtaylor@dylantaylor-pc:~/Downloads/basic$ steam Found newer runtime version for 32-bit libdbus-1.so.3. Host: 3.19.4 Runtime: 3.5.8 |

Hello @dylanmtaylor, swrast is mesa's slower software renderer, which is almost never used in production. The fact steam is trying to use it is hinting that your 32 bit opengl driver is broken. You should test if any 32 bit opengl application works as intended on your system. The 32 bit variant of |

Yeah, I think you are right. dtaylor@dylantaylor-pc:~/Downloads/basic$ glxinfo I am using the proprietary Nvidia driver (version 390). I wonder if I need to reinstall |
|
@kisak-valve After reinstalling Ubuntu, I now get dtaylor@dylantaylor-pc:~$ steam D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace |
|
Deleting the ~/.local/share/Steam I copied over from the old install fixed it. |

Having this issue for weeks now (Fedora 27). steam CLI output: https://gist.github.com/dros74/9d0b86231258c47cc7dbba5c56612265 |

@kisak-valve Yeah, you are right, also, I just noticed this Issue was Ubuntu specific. Will watch that one, thanks. |

This keeps happening with every new version of UBUNTU and I for one am sick of it. Steam is under attack on UBUNTU as it is a major threat to the competition being in control of your OS. Ubuntu being very popular for first time users, if steam does not work then user uses competitors OS. Is Competitor paying to have corrupt file implemented every upgrade? I just installed 18.04 beta1 and steam installed perfectly and was working fine. Then I did an upgrade using sudo apt-get upgrade on Ubuntu 18.04. This was done 1 hour ago. Steam no longer launches after the upgrade and restarting PC. I will now reinstall from the original ISO 18.04 beta 1 and reinstall steam. Very annoying knowing I wont be able to use the upgrade feature for Ubuntu anymore till I bother testing another release. Please figure out who or how this keeps happening. It;s been consistently happening since Ubuntu 14.04. Kind regards. |

@xereon Dude, chill. Steam is not under attack, and there is no conspiracy going on. Ubuntu upgrades libraries with each version upgrade, and a lot of things change during a beta -- thus the beta status. Hopefully, now that the Steam Box is dead, Valve will pay less attention to keeping Steam compatible with the older libraries used on SteamOS and help ease the transition during distribution upgrades. |

Same issue on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Steam latest, Ubuntu upgraded After Removing steam folder ~/.local/share/Steam |

Hello @munirehmad, the second half of your comment is being tracked at #4816. |
|
hey @kisak-valve thanks for the update. I'll see that issue now |
|
I tried removing and uninstalling Steam, reinstalling it, etc., and still cannot get it to work. It is no longer segfaulting, as far as I can tell, but it is doing the following: Just did an upgrade to Kunbuntu 18.04 from Kunbuntu 16.04. nVidia Geoforce 750. 32GB Ram. 8-core AMD It never launches, but quits after the "verification". |
|
Hello @flajann2, can you confirm that 32 bit opengl is working on your system? You can use a simple opengl application like |
|
If you install nVidia drivers from their website using their script - you need to add i386 architecture to your system and then install 32-bit compatibility drives when installing via that installer. |
|
Confirming that installing 32-bit nvidia drivers fixes the issue. |
|
Which package did you exactly install, 32 bit one I mean? Struggling a bit, the steam install suggests that nvidia-driver-libs-i386 should be installed but that does not seem to exist. (I also installed Steam from the repos, ubuntu 18.04) |
|
Hello @KasperJanssens, if you're using Ubuntu's 390 series nVidia driver, check if you have the |
|
ah thanks, I somewhat solved it in the mean time by downloading the latest version from the steam site, did not have that issue, it seems. Should be mentioned in this thread maybe, if the issue is really consistently resolved in that version of course? |

Same/similar issue on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS as of March 2019. Using NVIDIA driver 418.40.04 from the official NVIDIA Ubuntu repository (i.e. for CUDA etc). E.g. And the actual error: |
|
Hello @superstructor, the lack of 32 bit opengl support with nvidia cuda drivers is being tracked at #5778. (https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1045595/cuda-setup-and-installation/nvidia-cuda-10-ubuntu-installer-missing-32-bit-support/post/5305553/#5305553) You may have better luck with the .run installer. |
|
Closing because the original issue was resolved and further analysis isn't possible. The rest of the issue report is mostly missing 32 bit video drivers. |
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Steam should launch. I see the "Connecting to ..." dialog, but then nothing happens.
