Happy new year!

After I installed Manjaro Budgie and I had to install nvidia-beta-dkms drivers to get it working, I am now failing to get Steam started. Am I missing something? Thanks!

My system:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, 6x 3.7GHz, 32MB L3 Cache
MBO: MSI B550 Gaming Carbon WiFi, AMD AM4
GRA: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, 8GB (Palit Dual)
RAM: 32GB DDR4-2400, Corsair Vengeance LPX black, Rev S

Looks like steam didn't shutdown cleanly, scheduling immediate update check

Reinstall lib32-nvidia-utils :hugs:

Any reason you’re not installing Manjaro’s provided drivers for Nvidia? In System Settings look for Hardware Configuration and install Nvidia drivers from here.

No success, unfortunately

Because Manjaro Budgie won’t boot otherwise. I followed an advice elsewhere in the forum to install budgie via architect and after that I launched into tty2 and installed the linux510-headers and said dkms-driver.

Maybe steam --reset then ? :mask:

Nope, same result. :expressionless:

I am facing the same issue. Did you manage to solve the problem and launch Steam ? It seems this issue could be related to a more general one : Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module" but it is hard for me to confirm at this point.

Installing lib32-nvidia-utils did the trick for me.
