Issue when loading steam and some games

Question

So when i launch steam i keep getting the following error message:

"OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.

For more information visit https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9938-EYZB-7457"

I visit that article and it is a dead link does anyone know how i can fix this issue please tell me in steps as i am fairly new to Linux.

Also when i launch a game called "no more room in hell" i get the following error:

"could not find required OpenGl entry point "glGetError" Either your video card is unsupported or your open gl driver needs updating"

Answer 1

Run this command:

apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic

It will install the x32 Utopic Mesa GLX binaries steam needs to run. Steam is a x32 architecture, and some x64 machines do not have this lib.
