Installing Steam - broken dependencies

<< < (2/2)

m0NbaVx5jBVSh:
I assumed it was broken because it shows nothing under 'remove software' and there's tons of software I wanted to remove on first bootup like LibreOffice and Orca. I'll try to apt-get purge steam and try the Lite Software

EDIT: I tried the Lite Software utility and the install is broken with a similar message to apt-get on the command line:


- Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
- Make sure your computer is connected to the internet and try again.



I'll probably just reinstall the entire operating system at this point.

stevef:
Did using Lite Software not work ?

m0NbaVx5jBVSh:
I've tried installing via downloading the `.deb` and also via adding the `multiverse`? PPA and now neither works.

Adding the `multiverse` PPA has given me a ton of warnings on `apt-get update` now:

W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages' as repository 'http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease' doesn't have the component 'multiverse' (component misspelt in sources.list?)
W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'multiverse/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease' doesn't have the component 'multiverse' (component misspelt in sources.list?)
W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'multiverse/i18n/Translation-en_US' as repository 'http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease' doesn't have the component 'multiverse' (component misspelt in sources.list?)
W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'multiverse/i18n/Translation-en' as repository 'http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease' doesn't have the component 'multiverse' (component misspelt in sources.list?)
W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'multiverse/cnf/Commands-amd64' as repository 'http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease' doesn't have the component 'multiverse' (component misspelt in sources.list?)


The `.deb` fails to install and the `Package Install` window doesn't support copy/pasting. But if I run `steam` via the terminal I get:
Package libegl1:i386 needs to be installed
Package libgbm1:i386 needs to be installed
Package libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 needs to be installed
Package libgl1:i386 needs to be installed
Package steam-libs-amd64:amd64 needs to be installed
Package steam-libs-i386:i386 needs to be installed
Package xdg-desktop-portal needs to be installed
Package xdg-desktop-portal-gtk needs to be installed



And finally errors with:
steam.sh[9574]: Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libGL.so.1
libdrm.so.2
libdrm.so.2
libdrm.so.2

EDIT1: I followed the guide at https://techpiezo.com/linux/install-steam-in-ubuntu-22-04/ and installed a ton of stuff via sudo apt install libgl1:i386 and now steam launches but it still complains about missing packages. The missing packages now are:

Package libegl1:i386 needs to be installed
Package libgbm1:i386 needs to be installed
Package steam-libs-amd64:amd64 needs to be installed
Package steam-libs-i386:i386 needs to be installed
Package xdg-desktop-portal needs to be installed
Package xdg-desktop-portal-gtk needs to be installed
