Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2017 3:09 am Post subject: Steam is not booting up with error |
|
|
I just updated to kernel version 4.9.6 r1. I also updated my NVidia drivers along with it so I could have graphical output. It works relatively well, exceot for Steam. When I try to boot up Steam, it pops up a message box with this error before closing itself:
Code: |
OpenGL GLX extension not supported by this display.
|
Here is the standard output when I run it in a terminal:

The Xorg.0.log and the Xorg.1.log that I found in /var/log can be found at http://pastebin.com/5nr3r3HP and http://pastebin.com/Y31NHU1g respectively.
Running
Code: |
eselect opengl show
|
outputs "nvidia", and lspci -k shows my nvidia driver is loaded into my graphics card. Steam has worked before, and it is currently installed using the layman overlay. I compiled the new kernel via genkernel --menuconfig all. I have no clue how to fix this. Any ideas?

Just ideas, I'm not on nvidia myself.
- Try reinstalling nvidia driver
- Try with just one monitor, if you have more then one
- Downgrade nvidia driver
Version of your nvidia driver might help someone more experienced then me to help you. |

do you have set eselect opengl to nvidia ?
I have a amd gpu, but steam fail to start on my system
I found the answer on A debian Wiki
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgpg-error.so.0

This is the problem that the system detected:
Code: | [ 77.220] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
[ 77.220] (EE) NVIDIA(0): log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
[ 77.220] (EE) NVIDIA(0): server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module. If
[ 77.221] (EE) NVIDIA(0): you continue to encounter problems, Please try
[ 77.221] (EE) NVIDIA(0): reinstalling the NVIDIA driver. |
BTW what's the timestamps on the Xorg.0.log and Xorg.1.log, are they up to date? Which one is accurate?
Did nvidia-drivers get remerged properly after the kernel upgrade? Did the nvidia kernel module get loaded in, or was there something in dmesg that indicated a problem? These closed source drivers always have some problem when kernels get upgraded...
I'm mostly using an ATI card. The nvidia cards I have are ancient (GeForce4 era) so I'm not sure if the same things apply... _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD
What am I supposed watching? |

do you have nouveau driver enabled in the kernel? it seems to conflict with the nvidia-drivers, also make sure riva framebuffer is disabled in the kernel. |

@ topic poster
output of
Code: | glxinfo |grep direct\ rendering |
2nd: possible way, when you have time and bandwidth for your network:
nuke all steam related . folders
check all those hidden folders. => e.g. mc in a shell works awesome.
check /home/user/.local
... /.config
/.steam or what it is called
--
steam will reinstall and most likey it will work. i did that sevearl times recently when something went bad.
only drawback, everything is downloaded again 300mb for steam client, xx mb for updating steam, full download of the games
--
sometimes steam hangs on startup. nuke it after 5 minutes and try again. sometimes steam forgot hte user account, relogin..
--
it helps when you use
a proper kernel name
a proper naming of your kernel
editing hte bootloader yourself instead of using scripts of mass descrution
I assume you did not named your kernel, rebuild that kernel and that conflicts wiht your module directory. could be easily fixed when you set
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION in your kernel differently each time you build a kernel, name your kernel accordingly.
I use for example a datecode
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-03-04-2017"
I name my kernel
4.9.20-gentoo-03-04-2017
module folder
Code: | ASUS-G75VW roman # ls /lib/modules
4.9.18-gentoo-28-03-2017 4.9.20-gentoo-03-04-2017
