steam.desktop not launching on lubuntu

[starygwizd]

I should say, i'm green at linux. Installed from .deb. Executable does nothing. Opening steam.desktop via terminal shows few errors:
/usr/share/applications$ ./steam.desktop

What does running just "steam" from the Terminal output?

[x_wing]

You're trying to execute a desktop file, which is just a description file in order to start steam (a.k.a. a direct access for your desktop). If you want to run steam, just type "steam" on the terminal.

You can also start steam by double clicking this file in your desktop or do: "Alt+f2" -> type "steam" and hit enter.

My suggestion is always to install Steam from your distro's repos rather than the .deb form the Steam website.

^this

installing from repos work 99,9% of the time whereas installing from the official .deb usually requires a few fixes/modifications.

[ack0329]

never install from the .deb

Steam STUPID .deb installer should be BANISHED. I have helped Hundreds with this problem over the past 10 years!
... tired of the excuses
... the best response 2 years ago was STEAM depends on so many dependencies ...
... RUBBISH EXCUSE!
... there are hundreds of .deb packages that install with ALL THEIR Dependencies
... the next excuse was these are TOO LARGE ...

OK FINE ... so yes STEAM needs about 500MBs - 1GB in dependencies - SO WHAT in this day and age.

Steam either FIX your .deb pachkage that YOU (STEAM) OFFERS OR JUST SIMPLY DON'T OFFER it any more - seriously STEAM

But for all others - YES it has ALWEAYS been better to install Steam through the repositories!

Don't get me wrong just trying to help, as always!

Install from your package manager because that will handle all of your dependencies.

1.Enable multi-arch repos (32-bit) in your package manager or command line
# dpkg --add-architecture i386

2.Install Steam via package manager GUI or command line
#apt install steam --no-install-suggests --no-install-recommends -y

A GUI will pop up after installation to accept terms of service.
Afterwards you can launch Steam.

If you install the above via a package manager you should be alright
Generally the GUI should work perfect.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve has pictures for reference.

If you choose to do the command line route and steam doesn't launch after you installed you might need 32-bit libraries that correspond to your GPU.
