I just barely installed Kubuntu and installed steam for the first time. When I try and run it it closes after a few seconds. When I run it in the Konsole I get this message. 

Running Steam on ubuntu 16.04 32-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
/bin/bash: /home/ryker/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5: no version information available (required by /bin/bash)
grep: symbol lookup error: grep: undefined symbol: pcre_jit_stack_alloc

Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1468023329)
libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so

I just barely installed Linux for the first time so im sorry if I have made a novice mistake. Thanks in advanced for any help!

It looks like you didn't install the appropriate graphics card drivers,go to Settings->Software&Updates->Additional Drivers and install the latest one's

  • Im not exactly sure where to find this. Im running Kubuntu and my settings doesnt seem to have the Software&Updates. Again sorry for my being novice to this. – Renzbo Aug 15 '16 at 01:45
