Steam on #! Waldorf

incogn1to · 2013-01-26 16:47:39

Valve released HL1 on Linux this week, so it's nice time to install steam.

1. Download this script https://gist.github.com/4231563

2. Unarch it with

tar -zxvf gist4231563-45bbf171953630f9b11acec71b8cc6fa70f0abe0.tar.gz

3. Make it executable with

cd gist4231563-45bbf171953630f9b11acec71b8cc6fa70f0abe0
chmod +x steam_bootstrap.sh

4. launch it

./steam_bootstrap.sh

[edit by corenominal]: removed sudo.

5. If you are on AMD64 architecture, add i386 repositories and update package list.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update

6. Install nessesary libraries:

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libcurl3-gnutls:i386 libogg0:i386 libpixman-1-0:i386 libsdl1.2debian:i386 libtheora0:i386 libvorbis0a:i386 libvorbisenc2:i386 libvorbisfile3:i386 libasound2:i386 libc6:i386 libcairo2:i386 libcups2:i386 libdbus-1-3:i386 libfontconfig1:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libgcc1:i386 libgcrypt11:i386 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 libglib2.0-0:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libnspr4:i386 libnss3:i386 libopenal1:i386 libpango1.0-0:i386 libpng12-0:i386 libpulse0:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxext6:i386 libxfixes3:i386 libxi6:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libxrender1:i386 zlib1g:i386

7. Restart your machine to update your .bashrc file and write "steam" in console

8. Profit smile

THank you, was trying to find a way. Will get a shoot at this one smile
Will write here how it goes.

Iam happy gaming coming to linux, i will support and play with my linux machines.

stolid · 2013-01-26 20:12:05

Edit: I got it to work!

By the way, shouldn't you add this step to your guide for 64bit users?:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Also, I think it's necessary to do an apt-get update as well (the problem I ran into I think).

I used the Kano script a long time ago on my desktop, and I just tested your guide on my laptop. It works.

I've updated steam using internal update system and restarted PC. Tried it with Team Fortress - works like charm.

Tim · 2013-01-26 22:13:04

When i try to play a game, team fortress etc.

and when iam trying counterstrike

MarioMaster100 · 2013-01-27 00:54:04

Cool thanks incogn1to works for me only thing is big picture mode is a little glitchy: http://db.tt/Mtd7yPOd and http://db.tt/pCj3l4dM but oh well.
Oh btw if you do source ~/.bashrc you don't have to restart the computer smile

@Tim: GPU/APU driver problem maybe? This sounds like a scenario where Radeon in particular would truly suck.

Do you think there is a way to fix it?

I have found a way to display the current status of your favourite CS 1.6 servers in conky.

1) Get quakestat, a small (<500kb) tool for querying various types of gameservers

sudo apt-get install qstat

2) Put this in your conkyrc:

${execi 60 quakestat -hls 178.255.41.211:27031 | awk '/RzeZnia/ { print $3, $2}' }

Substitute the ip and server name to match your server of choice; adjust interval to your needs.
This will display the current map and number of players in conky.
For TF2 servers, use -a2s instead of -hls.
Modify awk actions to get more/different info.

I didn't read too deeply into the manual, but it seems that qstat can fetch data for multiple servers, together with players info etc.
More information is available at

man quakestat
/usr/share/doc/qstat/qstatdoc.html (in depth guide)

It's so cool I just had to share this smile

MarioMaster100 · 2013-02-02 00:57:20

Hmm ran it successfully for a day and now

Fatal Error: Steam failed to load: *SteamStartEngine(0xffaee100) failed with error 1: CMultiFieldBlob(pSerialized): Partial field header at end of record

zachr · 2013-02-02 07:36:59

Hmm, returned no errors during install process, however when I try to run I get this old friend:

zach@sweatshop:~/gist4231563-45bbf171953630f9b11acec71b8cc6fa70f0abe0$ 
zach@sweatshop:~$ steam
bash: steam: command not found

Any ideas?

incogn1to · 2013-02-02 11:20:18

zachr, try

cd ~/.steam/steam
./steam_on_debian.sh

Can you launch it from there?

PS You should restart your PC after installation or just run

source ~/.bashrc

to update variables.

Did you updated client? Have you tried to reinstall using the same script?

Yeah it did update and then it just had that error message every time after. No I didn't try to reinstall yet.

MarioMaster100 · 2013-02-02 19:22:02

Well tried to remove everything it said to and reinstall and it's still saying not everything is removed ?_?

incogn1to · 2013-02-02 20:49:24

Mario, I would try to reinstall it on the top of prev install.

I tried that and it said I had to uninstall stuff and I'd removed what it said and it still won't install...

zachr · 2013-02-02 23:42:52

incogn1to,

I got steam to run, but for some reason it installed to /root/.local/share/Steam

How would I go about getting it moved/reinstalled to my /home directory?

I got it, running perfectly. Thanks incogn1to!

Alright I figured it out and got it reinstalled and now it's running. zachr, did you get it running from your ~/ directory instead of having to run it after using su?

Hello! I seem to be unable to start steam.

When I enter the following commands:

envy@crunchboom:~/downloads/gist4231563-45bbf171953630f9b11acec71b8cc6fa70f0abe0$ sudo ./steam_bootstrap.sh 
[sudo] password for envy:

To uninstall:
rm -rf 
rm -f everything steamish from /root/.local/share/applications
remove [[ -f "/root/.local/share/Steam/setup_debian_environment.sh" ]] && source "/root/.local/share/Steam/setup_debian_environment.sh" from /root/.bashrc
envy@crunchboom:~/downloads/gist4231563-45bbf171953630f9b11acec71b8cc6fa70f0abe0$

It looked like it worked, but I don't see the /root/.local/share/Steam directory. Steam is missing, any ideas? (I did follow the rest of the instructions)

Have you tried to launch "steam" from terminal. What do you see in output?

Maybe you should edit the guide not to run as root-user. Besides that I found it really helpful. Thanks.
