Steam Linux

obsrv · 2012-12-15 21:57:35

Hello,
Is there anyway to install Steam on Chakra Linux? I could not find it using pacman -Ss steam

abveritas · 2012-12-15 22:03:17

It is in ccr.
http://chakra-linux.org/ccr/packages.ph … earch=+Go+
Steam cannot be legally packaged in any distro (yet?), you need to get it from steam directly, thus ccr is the correct place.

Good news! The recent update to steam allows for distributions to repackage it.

Hopefully we'll see the steam package in the Chakra repos soon

AFAIK, still needs gtk, so no go for the repo's, but seems they will soon ship with all needed libs included.

It would be nice to have Steam in repos or as an Bundle Any news about that? (It surely have the number of "likes" needed...)

breed808 · 2013-02-10 23:49:24

I agree with Redi on this. I think Steam is important enough to warrant a bundle and/or be added to the repos, despite its reliance upon gtk.

abveritas · 2013-02-10 23:57:54

gtk apps, policy is simple, there will be no new discussion on that, that was finally decided on the last team meeting (after it being a discussion point for almost 3 years on every meeting, with always the same result. All meeting minutes are accessible to all, if you are not aware of why the decisions).
Seems best to wait a little before trying to bundle this, since it really looks like Steam will come wit a version soon were no outside libs will be needed.

Really? O_o Is there a link or something to confirm this rumor about "GTK+ free" Steam? Because then it could be added to repos and that would be awesome, right?

At one point I did go through this whole thread, and there were a few mentions of going that route:

Thanks to AlmAck:

Thanks AlmAck, works great!

Btw: I'm sure it already has been said somewhere but if you want to install this while having catalyst-utils installed, just install lib32-catalyst-utils before steam in order to avoid the libgl-conflict evergreen.

sudo pacman -S lib32-catalyst-utils
sudo pacman -S steam

A far more complete .install will be used to explain the license, to install lib32-mesa for all free gfx drivers, and to install the correct lib32 for the used non-free driver.
Best to gather some feedback first though, and rebuild with then.

once · 2013-02-16 06:22:17

used non-free driver, nvidia-304xx conflict with libgl...

Does steam actually work for any of you without gtk? I get a "Fatal Error: Failed to load steamui.so"

I made some changes to how my steam gets loaded, mainly this to restore to KWin the power it ought to have. But I don't think this should have any effect, except maybe that Steam is not updating correctly.

If I could get confirmation here that it works, I'll scrap my steam local folder and try again.

Before Steam was uploaded to the repo's, it was tested in live session, complete clean setup, no issues running it.

Ram-Z · 2013-02-16 17:02:38

Obviously right after posting this here, Steam decided to finally update itself.... No more issues now.

ngandriau · 2013-02-16 18:26:06

just to say that I just installed it and it works beautifully.
Thanks chakra team.

Thanks for reporting, fixed with the new steam pkg. Now if the user has the open source driver must install lib32-mesa otherwise the *-utils package.

Running Steam on chakra 2013.02.07 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libdlfaker.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'librrfaker.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:

Any help? I'm using a fresh setup of chakra on my laptop. I'm using nvidia drivers with bumblebee

AlmAck · 2013-02-17 14:35:36

try to install lib32-libgl, should fix your problem

eXistenZ88 · 2013-02-17 14:50:09

Working perfectly! Thankyou very much

@abveritas Yesterday I did regular sudo pacman -Syu and then today i saw in the news about steam gaming platform. I did another sudo pacman -Syu it had one target ( calibre ). I then ran sudo pacman -S steam and I received the followwing output ;

[edwardddowlingiv@chakra-pc ~]$ sudo pacman -S steam Password:  resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "lib32-sdl", a dependency of "steam" warning: cannot resolve "lib32-libvorbis", a dependency of "steam" warning: cannot resolve "lib32-alsa-lib", a dependency of "steam" warning: cannot resolve "lib32-libgcrypt", a dependency of "steam" warning: cannot resolve "lib32-nss", a dependency of "steam" warning: cannot resolve "lib32-openal", a dependency of "steam" warning: cannot resolve "lib32-gcc-libs", a dependency of "steam" warning: cannot resolve "lib32-libx11", a dependency of "steam" :: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:       steam  Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] y looking for inter-conflicts...  there is nothing to do [edwardddowlingiv@chakra-pc ~]$

I thern saw this thread but I am not sure i fully understand it. Does it mean that as of yesterday a new version of steam, with all the lib32 dependencies, has been put in Chakra repositories and if so do I need to install steam first and then update and do I have to install lib32-catalyst-utils first ?

Thanks in advance.

Bananikus · 2013-02-17 17:51:10

It looks like you don't have lib32 repo enabled in your pacman.conf.

Open /etc/pacman.conf in text editor and add this at the end of file, but above [core]:

[lib32]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Pastebin your /etc/pacman.conf, Chakra installs come with lib32 repo enabled by default, but seems to be missing on yours. The .install file for Steam points to the Steam Wiki, where all is explained which opdepends (also shown in pacman on installing Steam) how to setup your system for Steam. As always, the Wiki is the first place for answers.

@abveritas Thanks for your response. I will try to pastebin but I am not sure exactly how to do that.

Do I copy and paste into pastebin first and then post in forum with a link and if so how to link to pastebin ?

I pasted to http://paste.chakra-project.org/3991 I did not see how to use the link iconetcpacman
