I'm running into trouble running steam on Ubuntu 25.04 while also recognizing one of my Nvidia GPUs. I've not been able to find a satisfactory answer via searching around, so I'm hoping someone has already ran into the problem and resolved it here!

System Background

• Ubuntu 25.04
• Nvidia GPUs (see nvidia-smi output below, edited slightly for clarity)
• Driver: 570.172.08
• Cuda (probably not relevant, but in case) 12.8
• ~132GB ram

• Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 265K

Problem

I've seen online to run steam via: __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia steam

However, when I do this, I get
Unable to determine whether the expected Nvidia drivers are available.

The Steam client may have limited functionality.

Steam runs, but it seems to be using

Running query: 1 - GpuTopology Response: gpu_topology { gpus { id: 1 name: "llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.2, 256 bits)" vram_size_bytes: 3221225472 driver_id: k_EGpuDriverId_MesaLLVMPipe driver_version_major: 0 driver_version_minor: 0 driver_version_patch: 1 luid: 0 } default_gpu_id: 1 }

If I right click and run launch with dedicated graphics card, I still seem to get the same thing (under help->system information I see the

Video Card: Driver: Mesa llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.2, 256 bits)

information, which doesn't seem right. Also, if I play a game it is clearly not using any memory or processing power on any of the GPUs, and once I run it the game lags to the point of being unplayable.

Things I've tried / troubleshooting:

• Run steam by right clicking and selecting 'Launch with Dedicated Graphics Card'
• Run the game (fallout 76) by right clicking and 'Launch using Discrete Graphics Card'
• Run steam manually using __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia steam
• Update everything I can via 'apt update/apt upgrade'
• Checked for steam client updates - none available at least through the release channel.

The GPUs are usable on my system (I use them for other things); the NVIDIA driver is installed (~v.570).

Has anyone run into this and have a solution? I'm not sure if there is an issue given I have 3x GPUs locally (unsurprisingly for ML related things) - although that hasn't been a problem with anything else. Also, I'm trying to play Fallout 76 specifically, which I _believe_ I've played on Steam Linux on another machine before (doesn't match this machine's specs) - so I expect it to be able to be played fine on this machine.

Happy to provide other information if it is relevant. I don't commonly post to Reddit - I apologize in advance if I've done something wrong asking this here!

I don't know since when I got this issue, but i wanna ask if anyone experience this issue? I have changed any proton version and it still didn't launch even with experimental.

I've installed Uma Musume through lutris and steam with the DMM games launcher, however it does not seem to do anything. Even in the logs it shows nothing happening, looking online it could be the anticheat. Has anyone found a way to get the game to launch?

Hello, about my system:
Debian 12 running on an MSI MS16-J6 laptop; iGPU - Intel HD graphics 530; dGPU - NVidia GTX 950M, proprietary drivers

My system is set to use the integrated graphics by default, and I specify in steam Launch Options to use the discrete GPU with __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command%

When I launch a game that runs natively on Linux (Like HK:Silksong for example), the launch options work fine and the game does use the dGPU, which is apparent by the memory usage increase
But when I launch a game that doesn't run natively, through Proton, that same memory usage increase does not happen.

How do I tell Proton to use the discrete GPU?

Short story, I'm trying to make Steam library on my secondary harddrive which I got mounted in /mnt/hdd1, but even with the console Steam fails to add my library folder on /mnt/hdd1/steamapps. After searching for a while, people said that modifying /etc/fstab adding exec seemed to fix this issue for them, but jokes on me, when I try to mount the drive using the fstab, my line automatically (and magically) changes to noexec, no matter what I do (I literally tried everything at this point). Could anyone please give me one way to force the exec when mounting the drive? thx :)

PD: If anyone has got a fix for this I would kiss them on the lips

Context: I am running ubuntu 24 lts with a NVIDIA gpu (3060 ti) and multiple monitors with different resolutions and refresh rates. I am currently on x11 and its just not a great experience. even just basic visuals are horrible when both monitors are on (for gaming I disable the second monitor, but even then GSYNC doesn't work). I tried switching to wayland with KDE plasma desktop and it worked beautifully at first, but then the whole system crashed and i couldnt get it to work even after hours of debugging (even Ubuntu on wayland just doesnt work for me).

Thing is, I want it to be ubuntu-based distro for work purposes (the actual GUI can be similar or different to GNOME; i dont care about that).

So I want a ubuntu-based distro that does well with NVIDIA GPUs and stable drivers that doesnt have issues with x11 or wayland or whatever the distro uses, and for the love of god I want to be able to work on both monitors without getting an aneurysm (not asking to be able to game with both monitors on, thats probably a pipe dream lol). I'd appreciate any insight.

Hey everyone, does anyone know what the hell is going on with my BC-250? Whenever I try to boot it, it freezes, just like in the video (although sometimes it also displays a kernel panic or freezes a little earlier or later). The only way to boot it is by setting acpi=off in grub (so I assume it's an ACPI table error, or so chatgpt told me at least), but this way I don't get 3D acceleration or mesa drivers.

I've already tried flashing the BIOS or using different distros, and the same thing happens on all of them. I managed to patch some ACPI tables; this solution lasted a day, and then other errors occurred, and it froze like before. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Greetings folks...

...Asking for someone I know :

"whats the best Linux OS for game editors? mainly Unity3D and Unreal engine, and also if depending on versions make a difference? like UE4 vs UE5? and to be aware of any other recommended software to install? Besides cons and pros are welcome!".

Thanks in advance for your feedback! :)

I have 3060ti that looks like it is stuck at ~70W power, e.g. in CP2077 I can't achieve more than 25 fps in 1080p, with DLSS, setting everything to low/med.

I'm using driver 570.153.02.

Tried nvidia-smi, but max power is set to 200W there.

In -q I see: Fan Speed : 53 % Performance State : P2

while running CP2077 benchmark (~25 FPS).

What could be the issue? Is that driver version somehow bad?

What can I do to debug the issue? Or should upgrade to 575 or downgrade?

I've tested playing in KDE Plasma and Hyprland, and even though Hyprland displays 70 fps (which is more than my 60hz laptop) the gameplay feels pretty laggy, both the gameplay and the sound is laggy, I don't understand why. I've tried disabling hyprland animations, vfr and vrr tried both activated and disabled an nothing.
I have an integrated graphics card (Intel Iris XE), I know it's not good, but in KDE Plasma it runs smooth.

What is Slune?

Slune is an open-source 3D racing game written in Python from 2006. Think of it as an adventure racing game meets Python - it's a piece of gaming history from when people were experimenting with Python for 3D games using the Soya3D engine. The catch? It requires Python 2.7 and a bunch of deprecated libraries that would be a nightmare to install on a modern system.

The Problem Slune needs:

• Python 2.7 (EOL since 2020)
• Soya3D engine (abandoned ~2010)
• SDL 1.2, Cal3D, OpenAL, and other ancient libraries
• Cython/Pyrex for compilation

Installing these on Fedora 42 would contaminate your system with outdated packages (if you could even find them).

The Solution: Containerization with Podman

Here's a clean way to run Slune without messing up your system.

Prerequisites

• Fedora with Podman installed (comes by default)
• Working X11/Wayland display
• ~1GB disk space

Step 1: Create the Build Environment # Create project directory mkdir ~/slune-container cd ~/slune-container # Create Dockerfile cat > Dockerfile << 'EOF' FROM ubuntu:18.04 ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \ python2.7 \ python2.7-dev \ python-pip \ python-setuptools \ cython \ libgl1-mesa-dev \ libglu1-mesa-dev \ libglew-dev \ libsdl1.2-dev \ libsdl-image1.2-dev \ libsdl-mixer1.2-dev \ libopenal-dev \ libalut-dev \ libcal3d12v5 \ libcal3d12-dev \ libfreetype6-dev \ libode-dev \ build-essential \ pkg-config \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* RUN pip2 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel RUN pip2 install "Cython<3.0" # Install Soya with error handling RUN pip2 install soya || echo "Warning: Soya installation had issues" # Install the game RUN pip2 install py2play slune WORKDIR /workspace CMD ["/bin/bash"] EOF Step 2: Build the Container # Build the image (takes ~5 minutes) podman build -t slune-env . Step 3: Create Workspace and Run # Create workspace for game files mkdir -p ~/slune-workspace # Run container with display and audio passthrough podman run -it --name slune-dev \ --device /dev/dri \ --device /dev/snd \ --env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \ --env PULSE_SERVER=/run/user/$(id -u)/pulse/native \ --volume /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw \ --volume /run/user/$(id -u)/pulse:/run/user/$(id -u)/pulse \ --volume ~/slune-workspace:/workspace \ --security-opt label=disable \ --group-add audio \ slune-env Step 4: Play the Game!

Inside the container:

slune For Future Gaming Sessions # Just restart the existing container podman start -ai slune-dev # Then run the game slune

Happy retro gaming! 🏁🐍
