Dear All,

I installed steam OS in gentoo testing (amd64) on a kaveri box.

I had to change some file permissions because it wants you to be a user not root etc but it did eventually fire up as follows:

Code:
mikef@djt ~/steam $ ./steam
Setting up Steam content in /home/mikef/.local/share/Steam
cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/applications/steam.desktop': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access '/home/mikef/Desktop/steam.desktop': No such file or directory

libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so

I checked with a google search on the errors I see here. The people in ARCH linux were saying that removing certain libc related libraries
could help fix this etc.

Does anyone know of a gentoo version of those fixes?

Cheers

Michael Fothergill

PS I found a recommendation in another post on gentoo on steam suggesting these files be removed (looks similar to the ARCH linux suggestions):

Code:
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgpg-error.so.0

I use this:
Code:

find ~/.local/share/Steam/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" \) -print -delete

Many thanks for this.

I tried running the command as follows:

Code:
djt /home/mikef # find ~/.local/share/Steam/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" \) -print -delete
find: ‘/root/.local/share/Steam/’: No such file or directory


Do you think I have forgotten to install something here?

When I run steam I get the following output:

Code:
mikef@djt ~/steam $ ./steam
/home/mikef/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 152: DISTRIB_RELEASE: unbound variable
Couldn't find dpkg, please update steamdeps for your distribution.

Comments appreciated

MF

PS I am running gentoo testing with gcc 7.3 etc. I am using mesa 17.3.3 or whatever it is not the 18 rc3 etc.



I think I am too up to date for steam and confusing it perhaps.

STEAM comes with a variable to prefer system libraries over bundle libraries to mitigate this. please set this

Many thanks for advice.

Are you referring to something like this:

Quote:
The question is how developers can verify that their games don't rely on external dependencies. I'm no C expert, but I think using ldd on the binary and comparing with Steam SDK libs and bundled libs should be enough and quite easy. Alternatively developers could override LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point just to Steam SDK and their bundled libs (and avoid system libs directories) and try whether their game works. I'm sure Valve devs can supply an easy howto guide to game developers (and quite possibly already did somewhere in their guides collections).


which I found here:

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/valve-rep-confirms-why-some-games-have-their-steamos-icon-removed.6092

I will nose around further on this.

Cheers

MF

Run the command as the user or use the full path:
Code:

find [STEAM_PATH] \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" \) -print -delete


You can also try with "STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam".

Many thanks again here,

I ran make install as root in the steam directory and then became a user and ran
Code:
STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam


and to my surprise it steam actually fired up and installed a lot of updates.

after doing so it became a bit unhappy saying that some 32 bit libraries were missing
and conked out....

see here


Code:
Restarting Steam by request...

mikef@djt ~/steam $


Any suggestions or workarounds here?

Cheers

Why don't you try the steam ebuilds, they work for me:

STEAM_FRAME_FORCE_CLOSE=1
STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=1
STEAM_RUNTIME=1

set these...don't just delete ibraries ... they exist for a reason and THAT is why steam has an env variable to prefer system libraries when relevant

Many thanks again,

When you sat "set" these things, do I issue them as commands when I
start the steam OS up or are these environment pathway command type things?

Cheers

MF

PS wait a minute they look like steam commands that set environment variables but the steam runtime =0
must be one too I guess......

PPS

I entered the three commands at the user terminal

followed by

steam

and it fired up and is asking me to create a new account......

Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
