Hello,
I test LMDE3 on my system.
After installing the Nvidia 390 graphics drivers, with this tutorial :
https://wiki.debian.org/fr/NvidiaGraphi ... kports.29
I tried to install Steam via the package manager of the distribution, via Flatpak and by downloading the .deb directly from the Steam website.
In all 3 cases the installation runs without problems but :
- By Flatpak the software does not launch.
- By the package manager of the distribution I get a old version of Steam She tries to update but does not start correctly > Steam could not start please contact technical support
- By the web site of Steam I obtain a more recent version but does not start correctly > Steam could not start please contact technical support
I have tested to resolve this with the folowing wiki :
https://wiki.debian.org/fr/Steam
But having tested all the troubleshooting ideas, I still can not launch Steam !!
Have you tested the installation of Steam under LMDE3 or do you have a functional solution to offer me ?
Best regards et thank you by advance.

Re: Install steam on LMDE3
I read an article that advises to delete :
I told myself no problems these files are generated automatically when start Steam, I deleted them...
After that I restarted steam ... and I had a new error !!
I have tested this solution :
http://ein-eike.de/2013/12/02/installin ... -easy-way/
Now, I have more a new message error ;(
It's a crazy story where every solution brings a new problem... Nobody of you has ever tried steam on this OS ??
Regards.
Code: Select all
/home/user/.steam
/home/user/.local/share/steam
After that I restarted steam ... and I had a new error !!
Code: Select all
You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libstdc++.so.6
Code: Select all
apt-get update
apt-get -t stretch install libc6:i386/stretch
apt-get install steam libstdc++6:i386
Now, I have more a new message error ;(
Code: Select all
fatal error : failed to load steamui.so

Re: Install steam on LMDE3
Hi,
I finally managed to install steam on LMDE 3 !!
I reinstalled LMDE3 completely.
I installed the Nvidia and Steam graphics drivers before updating LMDE3 and I think that made the difference.
After reboot
After this I have updated my OS > reboot
After this ultimate reboot everything seems to work I was able to install a game and test it without problems.
Best regards
