Steam process is showing in System Monitor, but UI is not launching.
Issue seems to be solved now. I changed the graphics from nvidia-510 to nvidia-470 in Software and Updates.
I removed earlier installs:
sudo apt remove steam steam-launcher steam-installer
sudo apt purge steam steam-launcher steam-installer
sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/steam
sudo rm -rf ~/.steam
sudo rm ~/.steampath
sudo rm ~/.steamid
sudo rm -rf Steam
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/steam
Then installed steam via wget
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wget gdebi-core libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
wget -O ~/steam.deb http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb
sudo gdebi ~/steam.deb
Then ran steam via terminal
steam
This solved my problem!
P.S.
Also, when I ran steam through terminal, an error was shown:
Could not connect to X session manager: None of the authentication
protocols specified are supported
For this, a solution was mentioned on the steam website to check $DISPLAY
echo $DISPLAY
DISPLAY=:0 steam
Don't have much idea what this is (I AM NEW to Ubuntu and anything open-source). This might help if nothing above this helps.
