I have just installed steam using the .deb that can be downloaded from the Steam website.

After installed the .deb file attempting to launch Steam using the icon gives me no results. When trying to launch Steam from the console this is the output that I get:

Running Steam on ubuntu 16.10 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
/bin/bash: /home/max/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5: no version information available (required by /bin/bash)

I have spent some time looking around for answers but have not come up with anything that has worked for me yet. Any input would be helpful.

Run This command in terminal bellow.

find $HOME/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/*/usr/lib/ \( -name "libstdc++.so.6" -o -name "libgpg-error.so.0"  -o -name "libxcb.so.1" -o -name "libgcc_s.so.1" \) -exec mv "{}" "{}.bak" \; -print

This an issue with the mesa drivers.

  • I ran the command you gave, but it does not seem to have worked. Same output and issue. 
    Output:

    max@MaxsLaptop:~$ find $HOME/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/*/usr/lib/ ( -name "libstdc++.so.6" -o -name "libgpg-error.so.0" -o -name "libxcb.so.1" -o -name "libgcc_s.so.1" ) -exec mv "{}" "{}.bak" ; -print /home/max/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1 /home/max/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1

  • @MaxKulik install steam from Ubuntu repo. – Neil Nov 24 '16 at 10:51
  • @MaxKulik run this command to remove steam sudo apt-get remove steam to install sudo apt-get install steam – Neil Nov 24 '16 at 10:51
  • I am still getting the same error – Max Kulik Nov 24 '16 at 18:18
  • @MaxKulik have you tried to install a different driver. From additional drivers what GPU driver are you using. – Neil Nov 25 '16 at 08:24
