Steam crashes after upgrading NVIDIA driver to 545.29.06 (lemm.ee)

2 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I ran apt upgrade on my laptop today after not using it for a couple of weeks, the main thing was upgrade of NVIDIA driver to 545.29.06, but there was also some change on one of the steam-lib packages (I'm using the Steam deb version, not flatpak). Ever since upgrading, Steam crashes on start.

I tried searching for recently reported issues with the Steam Linux client but can't find anything. Is this a known issue? Any suggestions on what I can check/do?

Here's the segfault from syslog, I have a bunch of core files but don't know if I can get anything useful from them.

Turns out it was a problem with the Steam client itself, I think it's because the steam:i386 package isn't used anymore and it's now steam-installer, but something with the steam update didn't run correctly. After purging all the old steam packages and reinstalling from Pop Shop it started running again.
