 |
|
Yesterday, I tried installing Steam via the instructions on https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam . Of course, that didn't work because I kept getting some OpenGL errors and Steam wouldn't launch. Then I decided to finally try installing Steam through the overlay.
But still, this is what happens when I run steam:
| Code: | andro@fox ~ $ steam
/home/andro/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 161: VERSION_ID: unbound variable
/home/andro/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 161: VERSION_ID: unbound variable
Running Steam on gentoo 64-bit
/home/andro/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 161: VERSION_ID: unbound variable
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0) |
And it just hangs on there. Forever.
I use the nvidia proprietary drivers and my profile is set to [3] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop *
Any ideas? |

I've had similar issues, and most of the time it's been because the Nvidia version that I recently upgraded to wasn't running. To fix that, you'll need to exit X and reload the module as root.
| Code: | (logout of X)
# rmmod nvidia-modeset
# rmmod nvidia
# modprobe nvidia
(login again as user, launch X, launch Steam)
|
Also, try to make sure you're using x11-libs/nvidia-drivers-361.28 or earlier, since the 364 release appears to be beta quality. |
