Steam + Driver popup

[Ilrita]

Hi guys,

Every time I open up Steam it asks me to enable the drivers. Is there a way to get rid of this? I'm using official Nvidia drivers, the latest one, so I'm not sure why I keep getting bothered by the message.

Will it always pop up since I'm not using the Ubuntu drivers?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

odd... one of the game systems I use uses an nVidia 8800 GTS. I do not have this popup.

Mine is a Nvidia 8600 GT, by the way.

I thought hitting Enable just once would make it go away, but it just takes me to the Ubuntu driver page.

Do games still work?

[Ilrita]

Yes; I've played a few games like TF2, Bastion, Penumbra, CoR, and M:WF. I thought updating or reinstalling Steam after the drivers were installed would work, but it doesn't.

I found a workaround that should work on any Linux:

sudo chmod o-x `which jockey-text`

Thanks, I'll check it out on my installs and get back to the thread.
