Maybe it's because of the driver?

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on an HP Pavilion dv7 with a Radeon video card.

steam

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! This might be a Steam bug. You might want to report it as one, but I believe @Braiam may have some other valuable ideas for it. Sep 6, 2013 at 2:22
  • Could you edit your question and add the output of lspci -nnk | grep -A5 VGA and glxinfo | grep -i render, also apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx

  • hmm no I can't...because "no such file or directory" for all of the above, @Braiam. Sep 6, 2013 at 13:22

Reading Braiam comment I think you should have executed the commands in three steps:

First one: lspci -nnk | grep -A5 VGA

Second one: glxinfo | grep -i render

Third one: apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx

  • hm okay. well I did that, only the second line worked. I edited the field again to reflect it. Sep 6, 2013 at 17:45
  • ohh my, sorry the first one I pointed is also two commands: "lspci -nnk | grep -A5 VGA" and the other "glxinfo | grep -i render" Sep 7, 2013 at 14:30
