Hi.

My system Mageia 2 x64 (rpm) is not officially supported. There is not a correct version Glibc - is 2.14, and need at least 2.15.

However, there are ways to run Steam, the first is a way of pasting files glibc 2.15 to Steam directory.
I did so, no longer crashes Steam error, lack of dependence Glibc 2.15.

There is a window of downloading the update, and then the unpacking. After a few minutes it disappears. In the console I get an error that I do not know how to solve.

How fix it?

This could of course be related to how the Steam client detect a connection at this stage, and Network Manager are used by default in Ubuntu. So in your case it can't find a Network Manager controlled connection, which would be considered normal on Mageia 2 due to the use of ifconfig etc (but it could also be one of the side effects of using glibc 2.15). I can't tell whether enabling Network Manager control of your network interfaces will help. Instead of the dirty fix with glibc 2.15 on Mageia 2, I suggest using Mageia 3 beta 1 which ships with glibc 2.16.
