Whenever I try to start steam I am greeted with this error message:

Running Steam on ubuntu 15.04 32-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1428965940)
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

I'm guessing it has something to do with my graphics card.

Check the Error in installing Steam on ubuntu 15.04 post.

This problem don't seem to affect the closed source drivers, only the open ones.
