Whenever I try to start steam I am greeted with this error message:

Running Steam on ubuntu 15.04 32-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1428965940)
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

I'm guessing it has something to do with my graphics card.

  • run: sudo apt-get update and then run sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-dri

Check the Error in installing Steam on ubuntu 15.04 post.

This problem don't seem to affect the closed source drivers, only the open ones.
