steam crashes on ubuntu 20.10
When this happened to me I found disabling the auto submit of the password worked. I set the rememberPassword
flag to zero in the config file ~/.steam/registry.vdf
using nano.
I submitted a similar issue a few days ago so it seems like the latest update broke Steam on Ubuntu for a lot of people.
Steam crashes silently on startup on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 (igpu)
I had the same problem. I fixed it using
sudo aptitude install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386
I don't really know what aptitude
is, I think it's just a different kind of interface to apt
, but it managed to solve all the problems with unmet dependencies I had when I tried to install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
using apt
.
After this, I ran
sudo apt install steam
and I started Steam via terminal. It installed the other dependencies and now it works!
