Upgraded to new PC. Running Ubuntu 18.04. Latest kernel. I wanted to test some games, wine, etc., so I installed Lutris (first time using it).
However, after not really liking it, uninstalling, etc., I found that I could no longer launch Linux Steam. It gave the below message. I messed around with it for a few hours, doing a complete uninstall (of Steam), getting rid of all related folders, files, etc., and nothing worked.
After some time, I decided to check Lutris again, so I reinstalled it. After installing it I, again, reinstalled Steam, and after syncing, right clicking and hitting run on Linux Steam (from within Lutris), it would launch no issue. However, I still cannot launch just Steam from terminal or apps without it failing and giving below message from terminal.
Is anyone familiar with this issue and how to resolve it? I guess I could use Lutris until I resolve it, but I would like to go back to using regular Steam and POL/Wine.
I will eventually try re-installing Ubuntu, to see if that works, but it is difficult with the 2200g, because it doesn’t work with current boot-usb. I have to use dedicated graphics (which I don’t have readily available) for install until I can update kernel, etc.
