I recently installed steam on my Kubuntu 20.04 LTS machine using the .deb from their website, and on launch, it opens a terminal asking me to install other Nvidia drivers.
I run Nvidia-driver-470 proprietary drivers on my 1660ti. (also tried nvidia-driver-495)
Other specs in my PC are:
i7 8700
16GB ram
here is a screenshot of the terminal steam opens on startup:
I press Enter after the 1st prompt, and it asks for the root password, then prints out what is seen in picture 1. After the second prompt pressing Enter closes the terminal window and opens steam immediately. It does this for every startup.
I have tried:
sudo apt-get remove --purge steam steam-launcher
rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam && rm -rf ~/.steam
sudo apt clean && sudo apt -f install
Installing steam after that fixes nothing.
The worst of all is, most of the games don’t even work. They either freeze or crash at startup or midway. And it is not only the games that use Proton (i use 6.3), games like Portal 2, which run natively I believe also crash.
I have googled and found no solutions so please help.
