BunsenLabs & Steam = ?

Colossal_Crunch · 2015-06-18 02:38:02

Hey, I was trying to set up steam on BunsenLabs tonight. It's not really so important that it work because I plan on trying out the steamOS beta in a few days. Anyway, I was wanting to help BL out by working on this problem. I installed the steam package and everything seemed to workout. When I tried to launch steam I got a couple of errors:

jack@SyCog:~$ steam
Running Steam on bunsenlabs 8.1 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0)
libGL error: unable to load driver: r600_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: r600
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

I googled this and realized it is a common issue with various distros. I'm not sure exactly what to do about it. Any suggestions?

Did you follow the steps in the Steam on #! HowTo? (Note the graphics dependencies)

This guide is for wheezy and should not be used for Debian jessie (or BunsenLabs).

@OP: Have you enabled MultiArch?

Here is what I did:

#usermod -a -G video,audio second_user
dpkg --add-architecture amd64
aptitude install libgl1-fglrx-glx:amd64
Then this popped up:

Now I'm getting this error:

Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libatiuki.so.1

I'm guessing that means this old laptop just ain't going to let me play?

That's not what the Debian wiki page I linked advises you to do...

Go back and *read* the page I linked and then follow the instructions.

Just so you know, I have Steam working just fine in BunsenLabs on my amd64 system.

Okay, I'm about to ask a really dumb question. Why would I install i386 if I have amd64? I went back and reinstalled everything the way it told me to and I think I broke it.

jack@SyCog:~$ steam
Running Steam on bunsenlabs 8.1 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1433441724)

# But it's just stuck here.... Nothing is happening...

Because Steam uses a 32-bit architecture and libraries.

I don't know why you have that error.

Un-install everything you installed wrongly and try again.

Did you run that script damo's post linked you to?

When you have problems, post all the things you have done -- just saying you did "everything the way it told me to" is not at all helpful.
