Steam refuses to Run

I want to play Game that I started playing after a few of playing due being stuck in the Game. I merely desired to play a game before going to sleep. And this is the Errors I’m getting.

’ Running Steam on manjarolinux 20.2 64-bit

Thanks for any Help with this. Should I uninstall both Manjaro and Native? Then reinstall one of them or both?

Sorry forgot how to post Code.

How do you start Steam? What happens if you try to start steam from a terminal?

steam

Also maybe always give your system information it can always have good info for later

inxi -Fazy

While it was working fine until I did the updates and reboot. I tried uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling, and rebooted again.

I even turn off the computer, went to bed and trued again. This is what I got,

steam

How are User supposed to post Error Properly?

BTW I did notice I’m using the Steam Pubic Beta. Anyway to force the Steam Client to change back to Standard?

According to this Arch Wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam/Troubleshooting#Steam:_An_X_Error_occurred

Your nvidia package has to match the version of: lib32-nvidia-utils.

In my case I ran pacman -Qs nvidia to get these versions (I’m currently using the 5.4 Kernel like you):

local/lib32-nvidia-utils 455.45.01-3
...
local/linux54-nvidia 455.45.01-6 (linux54-extramodules)

If the versions don’t match up, just run sudo pacman -S linux54-nvidia. This should replace the old 440 driver package and make Steam work again.

I wish you a happy new year, I hope this helped. It certainly fixed the Steam issue for me :slight_smile:

Thanks I just chroot into my system and use pacman to correct my mistake.

I’ll let know if it worked or not.

Thanks it worked. Now to to properly set up the 5.10 kernel…

Steam now runs. before I rebooted and after I installed and booted from the 5.10 Kernel.

Thanks again for your help.
