Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Download

[LGrzm]

Hi guys! I am here to get help , I installed a few days Ubuntu, and am trying to install the steam at all costs, but I can not . It is only in the application bar and closes , as if it had crash on Steam , does anyone know how to solve? Note : I've downloaded the terminal and is the same

You have to do the same thing as with any modern distro: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam/Troubleshooting#Steam_runtime_issues

Run Steam from the terminal, copy and paste the output here.

ya if you don't know how simply open terminal type 'steam' hit enter ...
it should work perfectly if you have all drivers (proprietary) installed which is no problem in Ubuntu.

Ah yes, ye olde libGL errors

It's always something like:

libGL error: unable to load driver: some_driver_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: some_driver
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Steam runtime conflicts with the newer system libraries you have.

Try this workaround, enter the following command in a terminal:

find ~/.steam/root/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" -o -name "libgpg-error.so*" \) -print -delete

Then try to run Steam.

If the above does not work, run it again followed by this command:

find ~/.local/share/Steam/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" -o -name "libgpg-error.so*" \) -print -delete

Then try to run Steam again.

THANKS A LOT!!! the 1st command just worked :)

Do note that the libgpg-error.so* part is fairly new addition to the runtime fix and the library might not installed as a dependency when installing steam on 64-bit systems. If the web browser parts on steam are black, install the 32-bit version of the library with

sudo apt install libgpg-error0:i386

Wow Maleko is a genius again
"find ~/.steam/root/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" -o -name "libgpg-error.so*" \) -print -delete"
I have no idea what all this means
but I am glad it works

(all from a not so simple set of libGL errors - and a complicated solution ...
Maleko Rocks )

[ack0329]

Thanks for this simple answer ..,.. this should be pinned .... because ....

I have seen so many posts having problems with Steam and Ubuntu-16.04 and/or other new distos, and

it seems this is why, Wow

seems so silly on Steam's part

[Victorius]

Yes pin that!
Excellent example how users should be helped out.
Not just: do this, will work
But: do this, because
KUDOS.

It works for me just the first command~ Thanks very much

Its, been asked for along time for the 2 solutions that Maleko explained well be stickied , but has never happened and is a really common issue.

The first one works for me only to update steam and then open a tab that disappears when it opens. Any help there?
