linux problem with running steam

[Loner]

Need some help with a steam installation on linux. Force ran after it wouldnt launch, got "missing the following 32-bit system shizzel wizzel (paraphrasing), steam may not run: libc.so.6" i could list-off the consol error code if anybody wants them but im pretty sure there irrelivent. any help would be awsome and i love you and start a cult in your honor or whatever.

Open a terminal and do

 sudo apt-get install ^libc6.*

 

If that doesn't work you can also try

sudo apt-get -V install ia32-libs

Seems like c3p0_ got to this one before me. Those terminal commands should work for you.

Have fun gaming. =)

got another error code ending with a "[your missing] libGL.so.1" i assume i just do the same thing but switch out the charater diffrences.

Open a terminal and do

 sudo apt-get install ^libc6.*

sudo apt-get -V install ia32-libs

now this thing that i found in my consol when i tried running steam and a bunch of shizzel fizzel poped up

"The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 : Depends: libglapi-mesa:i386 (= 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.4)

 unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed

                        Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages."

How peculiar, what version/build of Linux are you running?

You need to install the missing packages with 

sudo apt-get install libglapi-mesa:i386

sudo apt-get install libcheese7

sudo apt-get install libcheese-gtk23

 

Then run

sudo apt-get autoclean -y

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get -f install ^libc6.*

ran the first line returned with "pkgproblemresolver: :Resolve generated breaks, this may be cause by held packages"

What version and distribution are you running? Ubuntu/mint? Lts ? 14.04?

[DacStugly]

Enter the command lsb_release -a. Post the output here.

tried running the steam client again and consol returned with

" The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 : Depends: libglapi-mesa:i386 (= 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.4)
 unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
                        Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed

i also ran everything except the first line of code which returned with a (paraphrasing)

"the file something couldnt be executed becuase somthing impossible etc."

Just to confirm, you've already tried deleting everything from your first few attempts and relaunching

sudo apt-get install steam -y
sudo reboot

right?

Haha! I have Linux has a side-OS for certain things, I am currently using it to help me better my skills at programming

but I fear I am no good it at all so sticking to the Hardware side of things! =p

This will sound really silly but try deleting all the files, from program information and the likes, and rerun it directly

from the Steam website, I actually think they have a step-by-step if you look for it. Under Valve-Ubuntu I believe.

I would search it for you myself but my Computer is currently playing up and I'm barely holding connection.

Hope you get a fix!

it magically started working at some point last night, i got steam installed along with gmod, you guys were a big help (i think, still not sure what happened) and you all will be awarded 300 loner bucks (note: not legal US or European union tender)

I'm glad we could be of some assistance, that is the issue with Linux, it can be temperamental.

Happy Gaming! =)
