Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist
I downloaded the steam client from the website and it wouldnt start. It always said that it failing to find a driver.
Then I tried installing from mulltiverse. This also didnt work. Failed to load steamui.so. I finnaly got it running by manually installing dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-utopic:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic:i386
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic:i386
"you may want to bring this to Steam's attention. Preliminary investigation suggests that steam's installer attempts to call konsole with a --nofork option which hasn't existed in quite a while. Calling with an unsupported option makes konsole not start which in turn prevents the automatic installation of dependencies."

I read that steam is supposed to open a console to install these. This didnt happen. I found this thread (https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/154643795212078209/)
