Hi, I am new to Fedora and have troubles using Steam. It was working a while ago but is broken now, I believe I updated some packages.
When starting Steam via flatpak I get the following error message:
[rolf@dragonfly ~]$ flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam
https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions
Overriding TZ to Europe/Berlin
Running Steam on org.freedesktop.platform 18.08.30 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Pins up-to-date!
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1556574584)
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
If I understand the output correctly, Steam is trying to load software rendering libraries and failing. That looks like something with my proprietary Nvidia drivers may be wrong. But running nvidia-smi
indicates to me that the proprietary drivers are installed:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NVIDIA-SMI 418.67 Driver Version: 418.67 CUDA Version: 10.1 |
|-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
| GPU Name Persistence-M| Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr. ECC |

| 43% 38C P2 34W / 180W | 351MiB / 8116MiB | 0% Default |
+-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
While trying to fix it, I already tried to uninstall the drivers using sudo dnf remove *nvidia* --noautoremove
and then reinstall them via sudo dnf install cuda
. I did that, because dnf update
was unable to update some packages and I thought that might be related.
I did also try flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam --reset
but the problem remains. This is not a general problem with flatpak as (for example) Spotify works.
What can I do to find out more about the problem and to solve it?
