I am new to Linux only this evening. I am trying to play Football Manager 2016 via my Chromebook 2 and have installed Ubuntu.

Unfortunately I am not able to launch Steam via the Software Center and I am being greeted with errors. If anybody with some knowledge could help me I would be eternally grateful.

When trying to install, this error comes up:

You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libGL.so.1

How can I fix this?

  • See if running this command in a terminal works: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 – TheWanderer Feb 09 '16 at 01:24
  • We need all the details as well as full, specific errors. The entire thing. Please [edit] your question to include these details. – Seth Feb 09 '16 at 01:27
  • Sorry for the very poor explanation of my scenario there. I am extremely high and numb after experiencing coding for the first time in my life. They need to teach it in schools they really do! – Matt Wynne Feb 09 '16 at 01:58

Running the following command will allow your computer to work with 32-bit libraries:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:i386

Run that in a terminal and try to install Steam again.
