    You mention that you're on a Google Chromebook. Just to be clear, ChromeOS and Ubuntu are not the same thing.

    I know that might be obvious to some, I just want to make sure that's not the root of your issue.

  • Paste the output of the error, what packages are missing? I hope you already tried to do sudo apt-get install steam. – blkpws Jan 02 '15 at 06:41

Open the terminal and try with the following things, 

pushd /tmp

sudo apt-get install -y curl wget && \

wget -E http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb && \

sudo dpkg -i steam.deb ; \

sudo apt-get install -yf && \

After installing please use exit command, 

exit

Hope the above helps.

Please just go to the Ubuntu Software Center and install steam that way. It is painless and I've never seen it fail. I suspect it may require you to uninstall what you've already installed, but hopefully you can do that from the software center as well,
