Steam Crashing , "glXChooseVisual Failed" [Solved]

[StevenC21]

Hey guys. Running Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon with (I think but would like a way to check, thanks) the nVidia Proprietary driver. When I try to launch Steam, I get the error in the title. Here is the full terminal output:

Code: Select all

I had the same problem. I used

Code: Select all

sudo apt remove --purge nvidia*

and then I installed it through the driver manager.

[StevenC21]

Early bump since I am extremely stressed about this haha.

[StevenC21]

Just to clarify, you had the exact same issue, right? With that particular steam error?

[DeMorri7]

I do not have the new Mint with the new steam beta installed. But I plan to test it next weekend.
Doing my research I stumbled upon this link:

Maybe it is helpful...

Thank you!
