Parth Sindhu's questions

I updated from Ubuntu 18.04 to 19.04 today but to my surprise steam stopped working after the update.

Running steam from the command line gives the following error:

SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request:  GLXBadContext
SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
Value in failed request:  0x0
Serial number of failed request:  51
xerror_handler: X failed, continuing
Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request:  6 (X_GLXIsDirect)
Serial number of failed request:  52
xerror_handler: X failed, continuing

since the problem wasn't solved after a reboot, i googled and found that my opengl driver was broken.

output of glxinfo:

name of display: :0
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
X Error of failed request:  GLXBadContext
  Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  6 (X_GLXIsDirect)
  Serial number of failed request:  63
  Current serial number in output stream:  62

I did the following to try solve this:

sudo apt install mesa-utils
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/updates
sudo apt dist-upgrade

Now, output of glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"is: (glxgears works too)

OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 430.26

But Steam is still giving the exact same error. How should i solve this ?

Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks in advance.

I recently tried setting up a dual boot of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with windows 10 already installed on my Asus VivoBook Pro N580GD.

I have tried reinstalling multiple times but every time I get a bunch of Errors:

[  0.055631] ACPI Error: [_SB_.PCIO.RPO5.PXSX] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20170831/dswload2-191)

genirq: Setting trigger mode 1 for irq 131 failed (intel_gpio_irq_type+0x0/0x140)

As suggested on a few websites I tried modifying the boot parameters by putting an acpi=off near the end and then I get the following errors:

Couldn't get size: 0x800000000000000e
MODSIGN: Couldn't get UEFI db list
Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
    - Check rootdelay = (did the system wait long enough?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALert! UUID=831a57-400f-4926-97eb-c55a61696e3d does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

Also, when I try running a live Ubuntu USB I can't shut down the computer without pressing the power button.

I am able to boot into the recovery mode from Grub.

Please tell me if you need any information to help me resolve the issue. I don't have much experience with Linux, so I am mostly unable to understand what's happening.
