Debian Server Steam won't launch

[louij2]

Hi

 

I've tried so many times to install Steam on my linux and it just won't launch. I've even made sure my graphics drivers are up to date as I have a Geforce GT 710.

 

I keep getting the error:

OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display

If anyone can help will be greatly appreciated, I'm trying to setup a Just Cause 3 Server

Have you installed 32bit dependencies? I don't have them on me now. Google steam ubuntu 32bit

Didn't help just installed all of them and it still is coming up with the message 

[louij2]

Going to try and install the drivers a different route and see what happens

[louij2]

Nope still not working even after following this whole tutorial and being successful on every step LINK

Have you used the nvidia tool to create an xserver config? You might also want to uninstall the nouveau drivers and restart

[louij2]

Yeah did all of that in the tutorial I'm actually baffled as to why its not working, just install a CS:GO server via some script a website made and it utilises steamCMDs so I am gonna check if its working now as the commands where working

[louij2]

Just Cause 3 Server up and running! Just worked but Steam still won't open doesn't bother me too much though

B still need help with this as I am trying to run a gmod dedicated server

Most servers do not even require a graphics card.

Debian wiki is usually the best source of info to try first on your distro: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

 

Get inspiration from here: https://www.vultr.com/docs/setting-up-a-garrys-mod-game-server There is a lot of stuff you don't need to run from here so pay attention (e.g. the firewall stuff is not necessary for your purposes)

 

How many people would join these? I want to test some of my servers, maybe we can work something out.

I used to have a minecraft community of 100 connections daily but now I'm not sure I'm down to try things together if I can get it to work. I'm having problems with nvidia now it gets stuck at a certain point in the installation that cleans up everything, something to do with the x server and x configuration files. I would take the card out but it's a dedicated located in France so not easy to do.

Debian problems

The first image is what I get stuck at even if I put Y or N or nothing it just gets stuck there 

[louij2]

I was following the debian wiki did the whole tutorial but was getting the same steam error and same error in nvidia settings and it told me a command to execute that my system didn't have so I installed synaptic package manager so I could get nvidia-config now I'm stuck here

[louij2]

Original Error I am trying to fix

 

[louij2]

Currently following the gmod server setup u linked

[louij2]

So I do not need Steam to run game servers I can use SteamCMD?

[slicknux]

See this list to find out what's supported by SteamCMD https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dedicated_Servers_List

Don't know if it's worth backtracking the problems with nvidia. Try the Debian wiki on a clean install if you can.

Although I'm kind of curious what "lspci -k" says and how the Xorg logs look like.

[louij2]

I have no x logs?

All my servers seem to run fine with steamcmd dont need nvidia etc at the moment
