Re: My steam not open

searching for the error hinting towards nvidia, updates and lack of reboot, so:

- do you have a nvidia gpu?
- have you done proper update?
- have you tried "turn it off and on again" (reboot)?

I use Nvidia, I've already reinstalled the drivers, I've already restarted, and this is the first thing I've found.

I searched for the package but no available.

Re: My steam not open

libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: used to be part of gtk2 and hopefully not some hard requirement of steam/steamui
