Steam Linux do not start after login

Steam client version (build number or date): steam 1.0.0.54-3. kernel 4.14.13-1-ARCH
Nvidia gtx960M
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch Linux
Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] No
Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] Yes
Using bumblebee with the latest drivers. Launching Steam (both native and runtime) from command line produced no relevant errors, after the login there is no window.

This is the log when launching steam from command line.

Re: Steam Linux do not start after login

Please wrap output in [ code ] tags.

Try installing steam-native-runtime and starting steam using steam-native .

Re: Steam Linux do not start after login

Same output, with and without optirun? If not repost the output. There's a NV-GLX error in there, what is the output of

optirun glxinfo | grep OpenGL

And if you are running on Wayland for some reason, try switching to Xorg.

Re: Steam Linux do not start after login

Launching steam with optirun
(I think is the same output)

Re: Steam Linux do not start after login

As mentioned try using steam-native and it's likely better in general to use the normal steam client without optirun, there's no need to run the steam client on the dedicated graphics card, you can tell it to be applied for games afterwards.

Using steam-native

Re: Steam Linux do not start after login

Well, it seem that the application starts but the GUI does not shows up. I can show it by using the system-tray icon. But I still don't know why it does not show up immediately. Any suggestions?
