[SOLVED] Steam stopped working

Hi,

so my steam does not start up anymore. From googling I've got the impression the it has to do with the lib32-nvidia-utils, but I cannot figure out the issue.
The glxgears and glxgears32 demos work fine.
This is what happens:

$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose steam

Some more info:

$ sudo ldconfig -p | grep -i gl.so

	libGL.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1

	libEGL.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libEGL.so
	libEGL.so (libc6) => /usr/lib32/libEGL.so

And

$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL                                                                        

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 770/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 418.43
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.60 NVIDIA
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 418.43
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.60 NVIDIA
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL profile mask: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 NVIDIA 418.43
OpenGL ES profile shading language 

And finally:

pacman -Q | grep nvidia
lib32-nvidia-utils 418.43-2
nvidia 418.43-4
nvidia-utils 418.43-2

Any ideas what may cause the problem?

Thanks,
mlk

Re: [SOLVED] Steam stopped working

Have you tried to reproduce on the repo version as opposed to a flatpak, maybe there's some lib incompatibility that would need an update in the flatpak.

Edit: Read up on it, there definitely needs to be a flatpak runtime for 418.43 for this to work.

Re: [SOLVED] Steam stopped working

Glad to hear. please mark as [SOLVED] by editing the title in your first post (or wait and come back to it after the flatpak has updated)
