Ok so recently I logged into tf2 and saw that it supported linux. I'll be completely honest with you, first I was in it for the little penguin but after installing linux I'm actually starting to like it. The problem is I can't run steam. I can't even install it. I've tried installing it through the software center and its failed horribly saying:
Package dependencies cannot be resolved.
This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable.
Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
Then I tried downloading the steam.latest.deb but when I ran it in the software center I get this:
dependency is not satisfiable:libc6(>=2.15)
So finally I attempted to install the .deb file through the terminal using this code:
sudo dpkg -i steam_latest.deb
and again I failed. After consulting with some friends who got it to work I entered suggested codes but all I've gotten so far is this I'll paste what my terminal says below if it helps. At this point I think I will uninstall Ubuntu 12.10 and see if it works on 12.04. Anyway here's the terminal:
$ sudo dpkg --add- architecture 1386

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386notsudo dpkg --add -architecture i386(no space between--addand-architecture). Is this a Wubi install? Because it's a known bug for them and shouldn't happen on a normal dual-boot install. – bcbc Feb 17 '13 at 06:55
