Steam Install / Run Problem [SOLVED] Sept 12, 2021 2:52:26 GMT

Post by rodney on Sept 12, 2021 2:52:26 GMT

Hi, I installed steam in the live environment and also in a virtual with no problems at all and it ran perfectly in both.

Steam also installed and ran on my laptop with Bodhi.

I have now installed Bodhi on my PC, Steam installed ok, but when I run steam nothing happens, just a flash of a dialog box.

I hope someone can help.

Record a video so we can catch what the dialog box says.

And/or, run steam from terminal so we can see all the output messages.

I don't use it much, but I do have Steam installed and it does work for me...

Well, the difference in live was that you were using nouveau driver, not nvidia proprietary.

You should get better performance from nvidia proprietary tho, and it looks to me (from my limited knowledge) to be installed correctly. You have one of those optimus prime or something setups with two GPU, I dunno exactly how that works other than nvidia driver is supposed to take care of it and only use the nvidia gpu when its actually needed (to save power), as opposed to using nouveau which uses it all the time or something.

Maybe the nvidia 3d control panel (in your menu) has some options related to it, I dunno. But its definitely related to that. Maybe try some web searches "geforce gt 1030 steam ubuntu" or something like that if no luck.
