    I have Nvidia Geforce 250 with nvidia-340 340.96 drivers, which I installed with apt-get, not with Driver management since there is a problem with neverending "Collecting information about your system".

      FWIW that is how I installed Steam and it seems to run quite well.

        nVidia 340 is somewhat old, have a look in the package manager which one is the newest, in your case I believe it's 361.

          I am glad I looked here before upgrading. I play a loot of games via Steam for Linux and Steam for Windows via PlayOnLinux/wine. I will keep an eye on this thread to see if it gets fixed before risking an update from 15.10.

                Hmm, according to NVIDIA x server app I am using driver version 352.63. Since Steam is already installed then it might work anyway.

                  By installing (adding) the xorg edgers ppa (ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu) you can upgrade to nVidia 364.
                  I've been running it for quite a few weeks.

                      I am running 16.04 and I used the deb package I downloaded on Jan 15th. It displayed both the main Steam GUI and that box you got showing an "out of date". I closed that box and proceeded to use the main GUI to install my CastleStory game and Uinverse^2 simulation. The Universe simulation ran better than it ever has before. Smooth as silk.

                      I have every source available in the repository activated but steam is not listed.

                      EDIT:
                      The i386 or amd64 latest Steam deb installer for 16.04 from "http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/xenial/multiverse/base/steam" is a broken link, but you can download it from here.

                          My "apt show steam" shows what your's shows, BUT, when I search for steam using the search bar from the "ALL" selection it shows nothing. When I scroll down to the "s"'s and look for it I do not see it.

                            do you have "multiverse" enabled in your sources.list ?
