Can't open steam on linux
You don't appear to have a working 32-bit OpenGL installation. You'll need to try installing the components or updating your video driver.
I've tried activating diferent drivers with the configuration interface that has some proprietary drivers, and also downloading a driver directly through the manufacturers website, but it still wont work. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or just trying to do something other than what you said, but could you give me some howto or help me to install the apropriate driver?
If possible, can you run glxinfo, dump the output into a gist, and post the gist link here?
Since you're on Ubuntu, can you open your additional drivers area and list here what's in there? Also, what manufacturer are you using (Nvidia, AMD/ATI, Intel)?
Its AMD/ATI and the additional drivers I put in the screenshot bellow:
Which of those drivers have you tried?
All but the third. By the way, I don't know if it is because I tried unistalling and installing again but now it doesn't even open the steam update window, when I click on steam or type steam in the terminal nothing happens and the output is: https://gist.github.com/ivanmlerner/5621606
Could it be because it wasn't completely unistalled? I unistalled it using the ubuntu program center (or something like that)
Does anyone knows whats wrong?
It does look like your graphics driver stack is incorrectly installed - it shouldnt be crashing for glxinfo.
Try the third option (beta drivers) and if that fails its likely another package thats missing…
I cannot install that driver, here is the error log:
https://gist.github.com/ivanmlerner/5649224
EDIT: Actually, I'm not being able to install any of those drivers now
EDIT2: Steam is now working after the recent update but It shows the following screen when opening:
Did you follow the steps on the web page the dialog mentions?
From what i know of Ubuntu's driver installation service, they are out of date. I would recommend you go to AMD's site and download a propitiatory driver. That error message usually means the feature is missing from the driver which in turn means you will probably have some issues running valve games since they reject old drivers.
Closing as this doesn't appear to be a Steam issue.
Nothing extracted yet.
I installed steam today and after it had been installed it said it would finish the instalation when I open steam next time, but every time I open it, thats what I get:
