I had nvidia-450 drivers and all worked fine. Today I updated my OS, and steam doesn't work after this.

I read in one topic run with STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam

Running Steam on ubuntu 20.04 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is disabled by the user
Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libXtst.so.6
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
libpipewire-0.3.so.0

I have all this packages

Reinstalled steam. But nothing helped. I don't know what I should to do.

This is a well known bug as reported in Steam-for-Linux.

I am wondering why you use the 460 drivers, while 465 drivers are available. However, try to install the following lib

sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-460:i386

Otherwise check the apt-policy

apt-cache policy libnvidia-gl-460 libnvidia-gl-460:i386

If that doesn't work install the new drivers from the following ppa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-465 libnvidia-gl-465 libnvidia-gl-465:i386

Beside the way, it's clever to reinstall steam.

Thanks! I hadn't this repo sudo apt install nvidia-driver-465 libnvidia-gl-465 libnvidia-gl-465:i386, so i couldn't install libnvidia-gl-460:i386 :)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
