thanks if some can help me!!
I tried the forum solution but I didnt found the registry.vdf file to change the lines
Solution 1:
I found the solution with this
cd .steam/
rm steam.pid
cd
rm .steampid
sudo apt-get install xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi
Then run steam again!
if it doesn't work at first, restart
Solution 2:
I solve the problem in my laptop with the command:
steam --reset
my laptop is an acer aspire 5742G with an intel core i5-480m and an Nvidia Geforce GT 540m, I use bumblebee to avoid optimus problems.
