Steam won't boot on Ubuntu 18.04












0















I installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my laptop some months ago but I haven't been able to make steam work. I installed it from the repos and when I run the app it won't start, if I run it from the command line it seems to run normally, searches for updates and the exits without showing an error. This is the terminal output:

I have tried unistalling, purging and reinstalling (as suggested in this post: Steam won't start on 18.04) and I have the 32 bit versions of both libatk-adaptor and libgail-common.



My GPU is an nvidia GTX 560M and I'm using the nvidia proprietary driver 390.



I have ubuntu gnome 16.04 installed on the same machine and steam works fine there (the nvidia drivers in that installation are 384.130)



Does anybody know what could be causing this error?
