nvidia/steam bug #47

Closed cdelorme closed 8 years ago

cdelorme commented 9 years ago

Attempts to run steam on a fresh hardware installation failed with untraceable segfaults.

It is likely that either I was missing package the nvidia driver depended on or the nvidia installation itself failed.

Needs investigation, my experience was that after it failed I tried installing nvidia packages their dependencies, some of which may have been missing from the original system, and when I purged the package manager version and reinstalled the nvidia driver from source suddenly steam began working. I am leaning towards missing dependencies, but I have no idea which of the many packages were installed as a dependency but not removed during the purge.

Turns out this was caused by nvidia driver installation failure which was I failed ton notice.
