Public bug reported: NVIDIA binary driver VER 340.17 is crashing steam. If I purge all NVIDIA drivers Steam runs successfully from Nouveau, but seems to have performance issues in game. Steam support was unhelpful and referred me to anyone else.
Steam output from terminal is: Running Steam on ubuntu 18.04 64-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically Pins up-to-date!
