Hello!
I'm on an 64bit Arch system with nvidia graphic card. I also have instaleld the nvidia drivers.

then i installed steam and lib32-mesa-opengl and lib32-nvidia-utils

I want to launch steam now, but:

/home/tekkkz/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 161: VERSION_ID: unbound variable
Running Steam on arch  64-bit
/home/tekkkz/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 161: VERSION_ID: unbound variable
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0)
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

How to fix this? Please help me.

Re: Steam wont start OpenGL Error

What have you tried so far? Did you search for the error you're getting at all?

Re: Steam wont start OpenGL Error

I installed sudo pacman -S lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-libgl and then run again steam with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose steam, but still wont work. Now it gets stuck at this point:

Re: Steam wont start OpenGL Error

sudo pacman -Rns steam 
sudo pacman -Rcns lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-libgl
rm -rf .steam .local/share/Steam/

sudo pacman -S steam
resolving dependencies...
:: There are 4 providers available for lib32-libgl:

   1) lib32-mesa-libgl  2) lib32-nvidia-304xx-libgl  3) lib32-nvidia-340xx-libgl
   4) lib32-nvidia-libgl

Enter a number (default=1): 4
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (4) lib32-nvidia-libgl-352.30-1  lib32-nvidia-utils-352.30-1  zenity-3.16.3-1
             steam-1.0.0.50-1

And still not working at "Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0)"

Re: Steam wont start OpenGL Error

rm -rf .steam .local/share/Steam/

won't do you any good unless you're executing it from ~.

What's the output of

ls ~/.steam

What's your graphics hardware?

[tekkkz@pc ~]$ ls ~/.steam
bin    bin64  sdk32  starting  steam.pid   steam_install_agreement.txt

I have a Nvidia Graphic Card (GTX660, and its also recognized in system info)
