glibc 2.15 not solved... #14

Closed slackydev closed 11 years ago

slackydev commented 11 years ago

Well, I tried to use this installer, and quickly found that glibc 2.15 was still asked for. I am running the latest LMDE Mate.

Running Steam on linuxmint 1 64-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libGL.so.1

I read that this was solved with this installer:

The steam-debian excutable loads said folder which solves the need for glibc 2.15

You're missing the proper 32-bit libraries for your drivers. Try downloading one of the following packages:

@WarPie Any progress?

Will close bug by tonight (if no reply)

I see. So I managed to get it working, but the solution provided is not an alternative for me.

uname ~: sudo apt-get install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 : Depends: libxvmc1:i386 but it is not going to be installed

uname ~: sudo apt-get install libxvmc1:i386
...
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libgl1-nvidia-glx libxvmc1 mplayer nvidia-glx xserver-xorg-video-all
  xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-video-nvidia
  xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libxvmc1:i386

As you see, it wishes to delete my nvidia driver to install the required nvidia dependencies, wierd. This might be a mint debian problem, or nvidia-drives which are not very happy with my old 8800GT.

Ether way, I tested and went a head and deleted the driver, by installing libxvmc1 + libgl1-nvidia-glx, then I tried to reinstall the deleted packages, but was requested to delete the 32bit files again...

It seems like a problem with Mint's repos. I remember going through dependency hell back when I was running LMDE, it's the reason why I switched to vanilla Debian.

Alright, after a little bit of research, I've discovered that this is actually a common problem among Mint users.

With that, I close this issue.
