summary: Fixing "`libGL error: failed to load driver: i965`"

Running steam on linux is great, besides for the game support obviously. But running it on an iGPU has recently been causing me problems, mainly under Arch.
|
|
|
|
## Stacktrace:
|
|
```
|
|
jake@***:~$ steam
|
|
~/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 154: VERSION_ID: unbound variable
|
|
~/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 154: VERSION_ID: unbound variable
|
|
Running Steam on antergos 64-bit
|
|

|
|
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The solution
|
|
I have no idea why it works, or why it works, but speaking to some people online, this is the best solution:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/$LIB/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/$LIB/libxcb.so.1 /usr/$LIB/libgpg-error.so' /usr/bin/steam %U
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I have no idea why it works, but it works perfectly for me! Steam client runs with no problems.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
jake@***:~$ LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/$LIB/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/$LIB/libxcb.so.1 /usr/$LIB/libgpg-error.so' /usr/bin/steam %U

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work if you add it to the `steam.desktop` file, for reasons I don't quite understand. But, just edit `/usr/bin/steam` to include the variable, and that works perfectly!
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/$LIB/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/$LIB/libxcb.so.1 /usr/$LIB/libgpg-error.so'
|
|
```
