Having issues getting Steam running.

Post by NightOwl_Erin »

So I installed steam.deb from the site, and, on the advice of viewtopic.php?t=4320 ran

Code: Select all

run-as-spot steam

Unfortunately, it said "steam.sh[7600]: Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libGL.so.1
libdrm.so.2"

Anyone know what the issue is? I've seen documentation for other distros but couldn't find anything for Fossapup64.

Before installing "Steam", make sure you run this first:

Steam Linux version is a 32bit program.

You need the 32bit compatibility SFS loaded before you can run Steam.

If loading the 32bit compatibility SFS for Fossapup64 9.5 does not help.

They are constantly updating the Steam software.

They may have now decided it needs to use newer software than is in the 32bit compatibility SFS.

If does not help.

What exactly happens now?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o
