nvidia/steam bug
Closed this issue · 1 comments
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.
