Latest steam beta fails to load steamui.so

[martinfischer]

After installing the latest steam beta I got the following error:

You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libva.so.1
libva.so.1
libva-x11.so.1

And then:

Fatal Error: Failed to load steamui.so

Steam won't load.

I googled and found a temporary fix here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/31384

$ rm -r ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu* ~/.local/share/Steam/package/beta

After this I was able to install steam again and re-login. I did get another warning about libc, but steam works anyways. I opted out of the beta for now.

I also found a bug report on the ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux repository from the NixOS guy, where Valve says the won't fix this issue, it's a maintainer problem: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5233

Same, I am on the Steam Beta channel and when I updated this morning I have this exact same error.

Guys help me out here. What DISTRO are you on? There is nothing that LSI can do, as LSI is about using native libraries. You need the 32-bit version of libva installed, on Solus this is libva-32bit.

Valve is right that this is a maintainer issue, note that we adapted our package in Solus: https://dev.solus-project.com/R2962:25ae74046546a8d544ab67df5f68fcd83a0a1b32

[martinfischer]

Solus 3 install, latest updates.

It works with the stable steam channel (for now), but if you opt in to the steam beta within the steam client these errors will come up since today.

@ikeydoherty

sudo eopkg it -y libva-32bit libvdpau-32bit

resolves the problem.

Edit: removed devel libs.

[ikeydoherty]

No no no. Install libva-32bit. I've already fixed this in unstable. I only run unstable. You do not need devel packages.

[Dynamic-Gravity]

Alright I'll remove the devel. Not sure if I'd need them or not.

[ikeydoherty]

I told you what to install already....

[martinfischer]

Alright, installing libva-32bit resolves the issue for me. Updated to beta again, no problems.

[Dynamic-Gravity]

After installing the libva it complained about libpau so I needed to install that as well.

[ikeydoherty]

@Dynamic-Gravity on NV hardware or just in general? Because I can add the rundeps to either the nvidia or steam pkg

[Dynamic-Gravity]

@ikeydoherty I don't use Nvidia, I use AMD.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Fiji [Radeon R9 FURY / NANO Series] (rev cb)

[ikeydoherty]

Huh ok, well I'll add that dep onto it

[martinfischer]

I am on Nvidia. libvdpau-32bit was already installed for me.

[ikeydoherty]

@martinfischer yeah that explains the difference between the systems then. I'll add it onto steam pkg just for safety

[Dynamic-Gravity]

@ikeydoherty thanks for the assistance. :)

[ikeydoherty]

Nah thank you guys for figuring out the last mile. At least we have less panic here than the other thread, eh? :P

Fix in Solus unstable: https://dev.solus-project.com/R2962:9a6d45ab0264d6c96786fe976897c8632d7e8539

I have a suspicion I'm gonna need to manually move steam, linux-steam-integration, libressl-shim packages into stable as sync isn't til Friday and a number of people are hitting this now..

[martinfischer]

I mean it's affecting people who run steam beta, our own fault :P

[Dynamic-Gravity]

Yeah, I'm not on unstable but I run with Steam beta. A lot of normies I wouldn't have had this fixed until the Friday sync.

[ikeydoherty]

Yeah but we get new shiny :3 And precompiled Vulkan shaders... xD

[Dynamic-Gravity]

Yeah but we get new shiny :3 And precompiled Vulkan shaders... xD

temptation to switch to unstable grows...

[ikeydoherty]

We're going to conduct a cherry-pick sync into stable today

[ikeydoherty]

Done
