I need to fix repository list

[RuThaN666]

Hello,
i made some mess in with my installation, could pleas someone post here default SteamOS repository list - sourcelist file?

I would like to also appreciente some command to check that my version of SteamOS is last someone.

Today i recover SteamOS backup 5 months old and i didnt found any update, so something have to be wrong. I installed very first beta of SteamOS, repositories could be renamed..

Your sources.list should be fine if you used the clonezilla restore image. What does your sources.list say?

[RuThaN666]

deb http://repo.steampowered.com/steamos alchemist main contrib non-free
deb-src http://repo.steampowered.com/steamos alchemist main contrib non-free

I definitely didnt get update 157, i still have debian 7.1 base package, so probably i need to add some magical worlds like - beta or something.

My distro version echo:

desktop@steamos:~$ sudo uname -v
#1 SMP Debian 3.10.11-1+steamos22 (2014-08-20)

[Balderick]

build 159 is current alchemist-beta build so that would make 157 current alchemist build. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse/discussions/1/618460171326363487/

In bpm settings > system you should be able to see what build your system is currently using. If you recently restored your steamos it might need a few reboots to fully upgrade using unattended-upgrades.

Your kernel name (uname) is not the build version of steamos.


Have you tried updating manualy?

Update 157 is still in Beta so if you want to use that you need to switch to the beta channel. Just google it should be easy to find.

[Balderick]

Nope. alchemist-beta was updated to 159 on 27 April 2015 and 157 was pushed to alchemist on 23 April 2015

I already linked to alchemist-beta being updated to build 159 in last post and here is evidence alchemist main was updated on 23 April 2015 to build 157. http://repo.steampowered.com/steamos/dists/


If alchemist was still on 153 build then the repo info would read as being last updated on 14 Jan 2015 like this update announcement indicates. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse/discussions/1/622954302103091166/

The installers used to get updated to the new alchemist when ever alchemist-beta was pushed to alchemist but the installers seem to be stuck on 153 as they have not been updated since 14th January 2015 as long as you do not use SteamOSimage.zip which has not been updated for nearly one year. http://repo.steampowered.com/download/

Valve devs used to use Steam Universe announcements and discussions for notifications of steampowered repo updates to both repos.

I have tried sudo apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade, nothing new found - net is ok, i have all avalaible updates. AFAIK is not reboots and multiple rerun needed.

For restoration i used Acronis trueimage external tool and didnt use any SteamOS restore build it tool or something like that.

Dont be offended, but i dont see a point in this discussion, could you simply paste here 2 lines of codes which i need?

sudo apt-get install steamos-beta-repo

then do your apt-get update and dist-upgrade

Build 159 has no changes from 157, only security fixes for various packages.

Keep in mind that SteamOS is now based on Debian Oldstable, which is now obsolete even by upstream Debian stable standards.

Balderick - im not sure what you means by this - bpm settings > system - i have found some system info in System monitor here is only:
release 1.0 (alchemist) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 3.10-3-amd64
GNOME 3.4.2

[RuThaN666]

sudo apt-get install steamos-beta-repo

Well i got 98 new packages - but its beta, i have probably also broken "normal" non beta repository link.

[Balderick]

What i tried to indicate was simply boot steamos which would load bpm. Next to the clock there are three icons in top right of screen and the one on the left is a cog with settings written next to it. Click that settings button. In the screen that loads look for a button that says "system" - that is where you will find what build your steamos is running.


I will post a copy of default sources.list to prove to you that there is nothing wrong with your sources.list.

mounting my flashdrive in windows caused it to be wiped because of disk errors due to steamos not handling removable drives - still


Your kernel name and distribution description has nothing to do with your build version.

I even spent time grabbing screenshots of where to find settings > system > build version but guess what? imagemagick (import and xwininfo) is bug ridden in steamos too though i did get files taking up space on flash drive i did not get chance to view them in steamos (because of bugs and permissions and.....) and as i said the fllash drive is now wiped!





Sorry for all the typos and wall of text but steamos is severely bug ridden at the moment - severely so that it is shocking if not unusable .... give me a mo

Beta is what you want

All beta is these days are security updates and you want to have those

Normal non-beta is this:

deb http://repo.steampowered.com/steamos alchemist main contrib non-free
deb-src http://repo.steampowered.com/steamos alchemist main contrib non-free

Looks like you've been hanging around too long with Jack Daniels ;)

The Steam client on Linux is also severely bug ridden too 

The arrow keys, period, delete, and other keys dont work when typing this

Is the only way to update to 157 through the Terminal? I'm still on 153 and want to update, but when I click the "Check for SteamOS Updates" button in the Settings > System menu, nothing happens.
