I have never used Ubuntu or any other Linux OS before last Friday. For all I know, I might have installed Ubuntu wrong and be missing a component. I would prefer if you use simplest terminology possible, but I'm OK with doing a bit of googling if need be. I just installed Steam for Ubuntu 16.04 but it won't open when I click on it in the launcher. The icon flashes for a few seconds, stops and then nothing happens. I looked in the system monitor and steam shows up there but ending the process and trying again does nothing. I heard trying to open apps that aren't working through the terminal tells you what the error is so I tried that and I got this:  Running Steam on ubuntu 16.04 64-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0) libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so libGL error: driver pointer missing libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast   Please help I just want to play CS:GO again.

I installed the latest version of vmware workstation (10.0.2) in ubuntu 14.04 LTS and I have the following problem:    I use the open source driver "Radeon" (Galium 0.4) and Mesa 10.1.0.

I checked if this package is in my system:  libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0   I think it is a free implementation of the texture compression library for Mesa. This package is installed by default on Trusty.  Any help would be greatly appreciated  Best Regards.

I have used Lubuntu on an older system of mine and I didn’t have any difficulties installing steam (only running it).  But this time around I can’t seem to install steam at all, when I try from "Software" or from the steam website, it starts installing, gets to 20-40% and then stops as if I haven't even clicked install.  When trying to install in the terminal, I get this:  lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install steam Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Package steam is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source  E: Package 'steam' has no installation candidate   I've been looking about with no luck, most people just suggesting to do it through the terminal, I also tried sudo apt-get install steam -f which was suggested but gave the same result as above.  Any help on installing this, please?

I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 on DELL XPS L501 - Nvidia GeForce GT 420M. I'm using kernel 3.9.0-030900-generic.  All kernel-headers are installed in the system.  and  I've tried the following.   Use apt-get to install nvidia-current (which download 304) &amp;&amp; load using modprobe Use apt-get to install nvidia-310 &amp;&amp; load using modprobe Download nvidia 64-bit driver nvidia-319.23 for 400M series and install Use swat-x repo to install nvidia driver   All of these failed. And I tested it everytime like this   After the module is loaded (checked from lsmod),  restarted lightdm tested from get.webgl.org  (Google-Chrome webgl support is enabled)    Problem faced with nvidia-xconfig   after running nvidia-xconfig (which writes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf), and restarting lightdm, my display res changes to 640x480. and had to remove this file to revert back to old setting Have also tried commenting out those two lines which adjusts Horizontal and Vertical Setting in xorg.conf. That just rectified the resolution. But still I wasn't able to use the graphics card (webgl).   EDIT 1: (nouveau)   Tried rebooting after each installation Removed (purge) all of nouveau* before starting.  Removed one more package (dont remember the exact name though) - xorg-xserver-blah-blah.   EDIT 2: (bitlbee)   I had bitlbee installed before. Removed that too before starting installation. When bitlbee was present, NVIDIA-3.9-x86.run (downloaded from nvidia) was not able to recognize graphics card. But it did when I removed bitlbee. (So I'm assuming here that it should work if graphics driver was installed properly)   EDIT 3: (software-properties-gtk)   sudo software-properties-gtk the Additional drivers tab is always NIL. (before and after installation) (even if the installation was successful)   Have been trying this the whole day, and done it quite a few times. None of them worked.  Need help! Is it the problem with kernel-3.9, that there are no updates for this ?

I bought this network adapter from Amazon and I don't know how to install the drivers. The adapter comes with a CD for drivers and when I put it in, it has .autorun.exe autorun.ico autorun.csp, and autorun.inf.  I know that it supports Linux because when I installed them on my Windows (Dual-boot) it asked me if I wanted to Linux drivers, Mac, or Windows.

Ok, I'm a total Linux noob. I was able to install 12.4 without issue, except that it says in the system settings that the graphics card/driver is "unknown".  I have NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200, and have not been able to get it installed. I've found the driver at NVIDIA but couldn't figure out how to actually install it. I found instructions that used apt-get to automatically find the current driver and install it, and that came close. At least then it showed up in the 3rd party drivers list. It said it was installed but not being used? And I was unable to find out why that might be, or how to get the system to use it  Two questions: 1. CAN/SHOULD my graphics card work with 12.4? 2. If so, HOW?  I'm running a 100% fresh install, so what's the step-by-step from there?

I want to buy a new notebook in the near future to play games on it. I'm looking forward for the new Steam for Linux client. My question is that where does the Steam install the games, on the home partition, or in the usr folder, or somewhere else? I do not use pre-release (i.e. beta) versions of either Steam or Ubuntu.

Ok, I was kind of surprised that this hadn't been asked here before, but maybe it's too technical for this site. You guys decide.  I've heard lots of different stories about setting up Wine on Ubuntu, WineTricks, PlayOnLinux etc., but never a 'This is the best way to do it for Steam and Steam games' thread.  So has anyone had any real success getting their Steam games to run on Ubuntu through Wine or something similar? If so, could we get some specific steps?

[SOLVED] I managed to fix the issue by uninstalling the proprietary AMD drivers, rebooting, starting Steam letting it update, reinstalling AMD drivers, reboot. It seems to be working and I can now play all my Steam linux games. I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 64bit on my main PC. I also installed Steam (.deb from ). The install went without errors. On running Steam, nothing happens. I run Steam from the terminal and receive two segmentation faults, always occurring on different lines of Steam.sh when I run Steam: /home/samathy/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 755: 11111 Segmentation fault   /home/samathy/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 755: 11239 Segmentation fault   The rest of the output on the terminal is just dump-saving text. I can't see anything about GLX issues, or locale issues (they seem to be popular issues with steam) I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 64bit with Xubuntu (installed after the Ubuntu install.) My specs are as follows: AMD FX 6350. AMD HD7870 (With AMD proprietary beta drivers) 12GB DDR3 Samsung 840 EVO 120GB. This problem is a little weird to me because Steam runs fine on my Ubuntu 13.10 + Xubuntu-desktop, Intel Atom N270 netbook without any fiddling, I can even run games. I've googled a lot and only really found solutions to other steam issues, not my own. If anyone could help, that'd be wonderful. Thanks! edit: I should mention that I've tried doing ~$steam --reset  It does not produce errors its self, but also doesnt solve the problem either. I have also tried installing Steam from Ubuntu package manage, but that results in the same errors.

I am trying to play a Steam game on Ubuntu.  The game requires "Graphics: Shader model 3".  How do I determine if my integrated Intel graphics support Shader Model 3?  At present, when I launch the game, I hear the audio, but the screen is entirely black.  Running glxinfo | grep OpenGL yields:  OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile  OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 18.2.2 OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.50 OpenGL core profile context flags: (none) OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile OpenGL core profile extensions: OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 18.2.2 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30 OpenGL context flags: (none) OpenGL extensions: OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.1 Mesa 18.2.2 OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.10 OpenGL ES profile extensions:   I am not sure which (if any) of the above lines answer my question.

When I ordered this TP-Link AC1300 Wireless Dual Band PCI-Express Adapter (Archer T6E), I looked into customers reviews and they said it worked fine with no drivers on Ubuntu. I didn't have a CD/DVD player on my desktop so I (on a laptop with a DVD drive) copied and pasted the DVD support disk content on to a USB drive and used that. But when I tried to run autorun.exe it puts up archive manager and says An error occurred while loading the archive Ubuntu verison- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
