Description: I can confirm similar behaviour for primusrun, glxgears runs fine under primusrun. I am able to run steam with optirun but game support is limited with this method.

In addition, after running steam --reset I have to bypass the steamui.so error by following the operations in Failed to load steamui.so with primusrun (NVIDIA+intel)

Update: Still crashing on client build: 1523057858 crash_20180408110205_1.dmp.gz

For reference, the attached minidump is a SIGSEGV in libGL.so.384.111 (part of the nvidia proprietary driver).

I think I just found a workaround. After playing with some commands I tried running steam like this:

LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/$LIB/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/$LIB/libxcb.so.1' primusrun steam -steamos just adding -steamos seemed to work for me (I have to preload some libraries since always to make it work with my NVIDIA card). If this work for more people I think we are getting closer to know what is going on with this issue. This worked on steam version: 1522709999

Plese confirm if this workaround helps!

@EnriqueBet

The -steamos switch works for me with 1523057858 and the following launch command:

primusrun steam -steamos

@EnriqueBet I can confirm, that version 1522709999 works again with NVIDIA proprietary driver 384.130 by launching primusrun steam -steamos.

Thanks for sharing
