If i have the default nvidia drivers (nvidia-384) steam doesn't start. If I run steam in a terminal i get this:

Running Steam on ubuntu 16.04 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Pins up-to-date!
[2018-04-05 09:36:52] Startup - updater built Apr  2 2018 15:23:43

Looks like steam didn't shutdown cleanly, scheduling immediate update check


[2018-04-05 09:36:52] Checking for update on startup
[2018-04-05 09:36:52] Checking for available updates...

[2018-04-05 09:36:54] Verification complete

And close. Nothing more happen.

If I have the "x.org x server - Nouveau" driver it run fine.

I have tried:

sudo apt-get remove steam
sudo apt-get purge steam
sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam && rm -rf ~/.steam

and then

sudo apr-get install steam

and the problem doesn't fix.

I don't know what to do. Thanks.

UPDATE and FIX

The problem was solved doing this:

sudo ldconfig -p | grep -i gl.so

sudo rm /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1

I found th solution here.

It looks that this is a common problem with nvidia drivers. Thanks.

Try going to http://steampowered.com and downloading a more recent version of steam directly from them. You'll end up with a .deb file; if you double click it in the file manager it should open up in the "Software" program. It will allow you to install from there and should download all the dependencies that steam requires.
