What if Steam cannot be started in ubuntu 16.04

This article mainly introduces how to start Steam in ubuntu 16.04. what is introduced in this article is very detailed and has a certain reference value. Interested friends must finish reading it!

Preface

Steam has been uninstalled once before, because Linux is really not as good as Windows in playing games. I want to reinstall it recently. My system version has been upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04LST version, and my graphics card is amd64.

An error occurred when running after installing steam:

$steamSetting up Steam content in / home/weapon/.local/share/SteamRunning Steam on ubuntu 16.04 64-bitSTEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automaticallyInstalling breakpad exception handler for appid (steam) / version (0) libGL error: unable to load driver: r600_dri.solibGL error: driver pointer missinglibGL error: failed to load driver: r600libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.solibGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

This is the bug of Steam software itself. Because its software will use its own dynamic link library. Therefore, it is possible that the native driver cannot be loaded.

Solution method

Delete steam's own library and let it use the library on the system.

$rm ~ / .local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6$ rm ~ / .local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgc ‌ c_s.so.1

Finally, I wish you all a good time in the game.
