The latest stable release of Debian (which is "Jessie" at the time of writing this,) uses libc6 2.19, and should run Steam without the need for this package. Thank you all; it's been fun working on this package. Happy fragging!
Question: What's the difference between this installer and Valve's?
i386-linux-gnu
and x86_64-linux-gnu
which is from Ubuntu's libc6 deb package, it is saved in /usr/lib/steam/
. The steam-debian excutable loads said folder which solves the need for glibc 2.15Question: How do I launch?
steam-debian
LC_ALL=C steam-debian
should be usedQuestion: Whenever I launch Steam, it asks me to install jockey-common
jockey-common
on startup so, this guide isn't really needed, but I'll keep it for legacy purposes[Method 1] recommended
apt-get update
apt-get install jockey-common
[Method 2] if for some odd reason you don't trust testian's repo, you can install jockey-common by executing this script
Question: Where can I find the source?
steam-debian_source
contains the source, duh.If you're using a 64-bit system, you'll have to enable access to 32-bit libraries. Please read the wiki for more info
