I installed the steam with
wget http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb
sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
sudo gdebi steam.deb

And i have the error saying "Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libGL.so.1 libdrm.so.2" and also i install the official steam site and gives the same error.
Before of this error, i got an error which i was missing libc.so.6 so i used the command sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 and now i am the situation of "Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libGL.so.1 libdrm.so.2" and how can i fix it? I want to install steam on my computer, and im on Lubuntu

Llloootsop 2020-07-23 github

Fixed it! Finally, i run this command on terminal
sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1:i386
steam

Llloootsop 2020-08-09 github

Make sure you do sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 and after sudo apt update and then install with sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 it worked for me!

Hello @asimmakhmudov, a massive removal of system packages is definitely bad and you shouldn't let apt proceed. Blind guess that you're seeing something similar to #7982.

Coming from google with this problem, my issue running the above solution was that I had a custom ppa for llvm that added some specific version llvm13. At the same time I had the oibaf graphics driver repo which also had a specific version of llvm13 that all my drivers relied on.

So doing the above freaks apt out and tells me it wants to remove almost everything graphics related on my system.

My solution was to downgrade llvm13 to the one from the oibaf graphics driver repo like this

caps@pc:~/Downloads$ apt list -a libllvm13
Listing... Done

libllvm13/unknown,now 1:13.0.1~++20211215022811+5932c004778c-1~exp1~20211215022819.27 amd64 [installed]
libllvm13/focal 1:13.0.0-8~oibaf~f amd64
libllvm13/focal 1:13.0.0-8~oibaf~f i386

ccaps@pc:~/Downloads$ sudo apt install libllvm13/focal

where libllvm13/focal was the one I needed.

This work for me:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1:i386
sudo apt-get upgrade steam -f
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-libs:i386

It didn;t work for me, saying permission was denied at the first step, how do I bypass that?

Ddefault-writer 2022-01-31 github

in general permission denied cured with something like that:

sudo chown +R <user>:<group> <path_to_cure

but as i understand, it sounds like you are trying to execute these commands from root and literally you do not need to use sudo.

i believe in that cause dpkg is just a debian package manager and if such an issue would ever happened, it will be fixed decades ago. so logically, this is not a security issues, but rather the configuration issue for you system.

brief description, that you do not have rights to use sudo, either you are the root, or not in the sudoers group,

solution:

add your user to sudoers group
create new user add it to sudoers and retry sudo commands

Bbraiam 2022-06-09 github

Those packages should be added to the dependency list of the Debian package.

OOsyed02 2022-07-02 github

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1:i386
sudo apt-get upgrade steam -f

Works Fine... :)
Thanks...

I've got intel integrated graphics, running Ubuntu Studio 22.04, which runs KDE Plasma. I'm having a similar situation. When I sudo apt upgrade steam -f I get a huge out put of lots of applications that depend on libudev1, but it is not installable. When I search for the package, it is already installed.

i think you should try to install not just from sudoers trough user profile with a lot of restrictions, but from the root profile, is it solves the problem?

Hello @neloykarmaker, Debian's multi-arch implementation requires that arch variants have exactly the same version, and it also strongly dislikes downgrading packages to resolve package conflicts.

A common scenario that can lead to what you're seeing is when there's a 64 bit package (amd64) and the matched version for 32 bit (i386) never becomes available in the distro's repository or that a package gets reverted or downgraded in the repositories for some reason and locally installed package is left newer than what is available in the package repositories.

I would inspect the 32 bit and 64 bit packages apt says won't be installed with something like apt policy libelf1 libelf1:i386 libvulkan1 libvulkan1:i386 looking for where the package versions don't match up and walk up the dependency tree until you find the versions that aren't matched between amd64 and i386.

You can isolate each dependency and ask apt to install one dependency at a time with both arch variants to narrow the scope of your issue. For example with libelf1: sudo apt install libelf1 libelf1:i386 IMPORTANT: If apt at any time asks you for permission to remove a bunch of packages, do not let it proceed. If apt refuses to add that dependency, then it should give you a hint in the output for some more packages to inspect with apt policy and repeat the process until you find which package is giving you trouble.

What helped me, using a NVIDIA 3080 Ti on Debian 12 (X11, not Wayland) were the instructions in the Debian wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#multiarch-install:

# After installing the NVIDIA drivers, enable 32-bit multiarch
# and update your repository listing.
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt update

# Afterwards, to install the 32-bit version of the NVIDIA
# libraries package, run:
$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-libs:i386

# sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
# sudo apt install --reinstall steam-installer

While not an exact one-to-one of the original issue, I've also encountered missing libGL.so.1 dependencies when running steam-installer on a fresh Debian 12 installation.

Per the documentation, I'd installed the listed requirements, including the NVIDIA drivers and the i386 packages from here.

The solution, in my case, was to install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 (as mentioned by @Khantanjil ) and the nvidia-driver-libs:i386 package. There was also a sudo apt install --reinstall steam-installer in the mix, however, I don't think that contributed all that much.

Hope this helps others that hit this issue!

That problem happens also on Noble and added multiarchitecture on ARM64 doesnot help either. they have simply no candidate to install. can I build them myself in universal variant?

This work for me:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1:i386
sudo apt-get upgrade steam -f
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-libs:i386

works for me :)

If you're using Ubuntu 24.04 and later you may have better luck installing the packages steam-lib-amd64 and steam-lib-i386:i386. These are metapackages which depend on the libraries needed by Steam. Without them, I had significant issues with conflicts between the different libdrm/libgl versions.

some versions of Ubuntu does not have all the dependencies in apt. I would
advice choosing different distro with proper package management withou snap.

The commands I had to do to make steam launch were:

sudo apt install liblzma5:i386 libzstd1:i386 zlib1g:i386 --reinstall

all three libs were already installed and I had to add the --reinstall flag.
liblzma5 and libzstd where mentioned at steam startup as missing, but zlib was in an ulterior error message: dlmopen /home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steamui.so failed: /home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1: version ZLIB_1.2.9' not found (required by /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16)`

Here is my uname -a output:
Linux REDACTED 6.8.0-87-generic [#88](/issue/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/88)~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Oct 14 14:03:14 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm not sure it will work smoothly but at least it launches.

edit: didn't work. I ended up using flatkpak
