This is what I get when I try to run steam
on my Linux Mint 18 system:
$ steam
Running Steam on linuxmint 18 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0)
I'm using an AMD graphics card with default mint drivers, because as we all know AMD does not support newest versions of Ubuntu/Mint with official drivers.
Also, I have installed wine, steam, steam-launcher and tried all the fixes with fonts, moving something in steam folders etc.
I tried ALL possible fixes I could find in the internet and yet I still get the error.
What I tried so far:
- installed wine
- installed fonts
- tried to move steam folders around
- tried to install amd proprietary drivers on mint 18, no way to get them working
- updated kernel
- modified steam.sh
- reinstalled steam like 20 times
- the "LD_PRELOAD" fix
- installed some libraries
- tried to run steam in nomodeset and modeset.radeon=1
All of these did nothing, and steam is not working After some of the fixes it throws the X server problem, after some it throws the one mentioned above.
I have no idea what to do now, does anyone have any ideas?
@EDIT Yesterday I have downloaded all -dev libraries using userscript. This did not help
~/.xsession-errors
) and xorg log (/var/log/Xorg*log
and/or~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg*log
) look?(EE)
, it might be useful to edit the question and add them. The important one is that the acceleration method "galmor" cannot be loaded. You could add a Device section toxorg.conf
and change it to none. But really, I would change the driver.xf86-video-amdgpu
is just too new,it fails a lot (for example now), mint should have a package with the oldxf86-video-ati
driver.
