7 years ago Hello @inukaze, when trying to use the nvidia driver, you are getting the message libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast. swrast is Mesa's slower software renderer, so this sounds like steam is dynamically linking against Mesa's libGL.so, not nvidia's variant. Are you sure the 32 bit nvidia driver was installed properly?

7 years ago Hello @kisak-valve : Hi there i explain step by step how install & use steam under my Slackware64 14.2 . in the First Time use :D (i solve it)
Explaniations
my GPU = Nvidia GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM), 128MB, DDR, 64 Bit. PCIE: 16x
$ = User command
$ = Root Command
$ su
#$ cd /usr/local/
#$ SLACKVER=14.2
#$ mkdir multilib
#$ cd multilib
#$ lftp -c "open http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/multilib/ ; mirror -c -e ${SLACKVER}"
#$ cd ${SLACKVER}
#$ upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new *.t?z
#$ upgradepkg --install-new slackware64-compat32/*-compat32/*.t?z3 - slackpkg/+ :
#$ nano /etc/slackpkg/mirrors Search the line :
# USE MIRRORS.SLACKWARE.COM (DO NOT USE FTP - ONLY HTTP FINDS A NEARBY MIRROR)
# http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-14.2/Just uncomment (delete the # in the begin) the http line, or if your prefer, some address start with "ftp"
#$ slackpkg updateslackpkg+ : Download the most recent from the website -> https://sourceforge.net/projects/slackpkgplus/files/
install it
#$ installpkg slackpkg+*.txz
update the slackpkg+ :
#$ slackpkg update gpg
#$ slackpkg update
#$ slackpkg upgrade-allCompat32 : 1 ) Download the most recent file from site :
http://compat32pkg.sourceforge.net/downloads.html2 ) Install the package :
$ su -c "installpkg compat32pkg-1.6.131213-noarch-6_SeB.tgz" root3) Update compat32
$ su -c "compat32pkg --layer-32-config check-update" root
$ su -c "compat32pkg --layer-32-config update" rootIf you are using nouveau : this dont work with steam client for me right now, ever produces a Segmentation Fault, when you try to bring it the client to front using the tray icon. for example, making second click and after first click on "Library" option.
First you must put nouveau driver in the blacklist of modules :
#$ echo 'blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
' | tee /etc/modprobe.d/disable_nouveau.confYou need the privative "nvidia" driver for Steam works. (but the nouveau on Slackware, works better than in anothers GNU/Linux Distributions, i had tested on : ArchLinux, Debian , Ubuntu , Fedora, Manjaro, Gentoo, Korora, VectorLinux, TinyCore, Zenwalk, Porteus, Solus OS, Salix OS, GNewSense, Trisquel, Trinity, etc on that and GNU/Linux distributions. the nouveau driver, just works on 2D
But on Slackware, works 2D and 3D :
If you have a Legacy GPU you need download some files: 1 -> https://www.slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/nvidia-legacy304-kernel/ A) Download the "Source" you need 64 Bits or 32 Bits
If you dont know the architecture of your System use the command:
#$ uname -smif = x86_64 => 64 Bits if = i{3,4,5,6}86 => 32 Bits
B) Download the SlackBuild, and extract it
#$ tar xfvz nvidia-legacy304-kernel.tar.gz
#$ cd nvidia-legacy304-kernelCopy the run file inside the folder "nvidia-legacy304-kernel"
Now "compile it"
#$ ./nvidia-legacy304-kernel.SlackBuildAfter finish just install the output file, for example :
#$ installpkg /tmp/nvidia-legacy304-kernel-304.131_4.4.38-x86_64-2_SBo.tgz
Now you have the kernel module, you need the Driver : Go to the site -> https://www.slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/nvidia-legacy304-driver/
Download the SlackBuild, extract it, and enter in the folder nvidia-legacy304-driver
wget -c https://www.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.2/system/nvidia-legacy304-driver.tar.gz
tar xfvz nvidia-legacy304-driver.tar.gz
cd nvidia-legacy304-driverdownload the "sources"
wget -c ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-installer/nvidia-installer-304.131.tar.bz2
wget -c ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-settings/nvidia-settings-304.131.tar.bz2
wget -c ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-xconfig/nvidia-xconfig-304.131.tar.bz2Copy and paste (or make symbolic link) to the run file, you download before and now edit the SlackBuild file the "COMPAT32" section :
If you use the "64 Bit" run file you need edit the SlackBuild file first
#$ nano nvidia-legacy304-driver.SlackBuildInside the File Search :
# Set 32-bit compatibility flag default
COMPAT32=${COMPAT32:-no}I suggest comment that line
# Set 32-bit compatibility flag default
# COMPAT32=${COMPAT32:-no}and add below:
COMPAT32="yes"Control+O (Save) Control+X (Exit)
Now "compile it"
#$ ./nvidia-legacy304-driver.SlackBuildNow "install it"
#$ installpkg /tmp/nvidia-legacy304-driver-304.131-x86_64-2_SBo.tgzNow you need a "Xorg Configuration File" :
#$ echo '# Inukaze config for Nvidia-Cards
# Debian, put in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# Manjaro mwhd put in /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf

Now download the "OpenAL" from SlackBuilds.org : https://www.slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/libraries/OpenAL/
#$ wget -c https://www.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.2/libraries/OpenAL.tar.gz

#$ installpkg /tmp/OpenAL-1.17.2-x86_64-2_SBo.tgzNow download the "Steam" from SlackBuilds.org : https://www.slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/games/steam/
#$ wget -c https://www.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.2/games/steam.tar.gz

#$ steam.SlackBuild
#$ installpkg /tmp/steam-1.0.0.52-x86_64-1_SBo.tgzOk here come a very important part, if you dont have Steam on you harddrive, just run steam.
If you run Steam and see and error with libc6.so
$ steam
Couldn't find dpkg, please update steamdeps for your distribution.

If you change the nouveau for nvidia, and try to launch steam and see the follow error :
$ steam
Slackware 32-bit: Check the 'deps/<slackwareversion>' directory where you downloaded this package and install/upgrade the packages you find there.
Slackware 64-bit multilib: Install/upgrade the packages in the 'deps/<slackwareversion>/multilib' subdirectory instead.

libGL error: failed to load driver: swrastFirst reinstall nvidia-driver package. if you reinstall and try run steam client again, and see the same error. just purge the steam folders :
$ rm -rf ~/.steam/
$ rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/Steamand finally run again steam, right now, should be work without problems :D
After you see Steam working, you can move your "steamapps" folder to the site you take it :D for you had you games again :D

7 years ago @inukaze, it's good to hear you got steam working on Slackware, and this issue report will stick around for posterity, but I'm going to close this issue report as there does not appear to be an actionable issue for a Valve dev to address.
The only issue I see here is that Slackware does not have a distro-provided steam package. The steam runtime compatibility issues you are seeing with nouveau is being tracked at #4768.

7 years ago Actually there is a unofficial steam package for slackware, located in http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/steamclient/
After installing, steam will fetch it own updated and get to the latest version. Of course, Slackbuilds.org will also work, they are almost doing the same thing

7 years ago Thanks, but I solved it in the next day I asked.
Well I prefer steam be based on Slackware 11.0 for make it more compatible and with less requirements with any gnu/Linux distribution but that is just a dream like valve fix the reqs on a 3k more games with wrongs reqs
