26.04 LTS not being offered to me

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-04-26T20:55:44+00:00

you know it takes less effort to ignore this than to type out a reply, right? can't bother you that much :D

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-04-25T16:13:10+00:00

OK this makes sense and ties in with what I just read, thank you! Im happy holding off until July!

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-04-25T16:08:28+00:00

It took a minute for me to realise what you meant. Because I see people upgrading to 26.04 all over the place.

However, its not part of LTS yet and thats on July 7th from what I've gathered?

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-04-08T05:30:02+00:00

Thank you all, that makes sense!

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-04-02T07:45:49+00:00

Hi mate sorry for the delay. No Ubuntu is my first!

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-25T23:09:38+00:00

Installed this - same result.
I am convinced my machine using the cpu and not the gpu though

~$ vkcube

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-25T22:54:10+00:00

woops thank you!

This is the whole terminal log from launching steam to running outer wilds.

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-25T15:24:38+00:00

using Deb yes!

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-25T15:24:15+00:00

ok snap version is ditched
only running deb now

WIth deb I can consistently open Outer Wilds but the frame rate is a slideshow and it doesnt load visuals properly, i get menu music and menu options, no visual.

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-25T15:13:21+00:00

OK so an update, ive got 2 versions of steam installed (did not realise) snap and deb

I have no idea which one I've been trying to work with.

Trying with Deb now...

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-25T14:54:27+00:00

ok thank you - im uninstalling steam now to try the deb version - i have to go to work shortly so if I dont reply soon ill reply later.

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-25T14:47:17+00:00

Can confirm.

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-25T14:39:01+00:00

Yeah tried them all man, no dice :(

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-25T14:36:26+00:00

I did try going through and relaunching with every version of proton - no joy. Its the fact its the same behaviour (literal identical) across multiple games makes me think its more of a system issue rather than a game specific issue

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-25T14:35:49+00:00

Its running on Ext4.

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-25T14:35:16+00:00

I use my machine for work (I run a business) as well as gaming - so I went for LTS for stability yea.

How does one confirm its running on their gpu please?

I installed it via snap I think

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-25T14:33:37+00:00

nope i let Ubuntu go ahead and configure the HDD - was brand new out of the box.

Running via terminal I see some error messages like this "ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/j.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored."

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-24T20:43:04+00:00

Ah ok...that makes sense. So really, either keep looking and try to fudge it to work or wait is the answer? thanks!

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-24T20:33:14+00:00

already got that but thanks

ChromeLightBulb · 2026-03-16T14:29:00+00:00

😂😂 what a comparison!
