Please check your “/etc/pacman.conf” and ensure the [multilib] portion is uncommented. If it is commented out, uninstalled Steam, and then uncomment the [multilib] section. Then as sudo, run the following command before installing Steam again.
pacman -Scc
// Answer yes to clear out old caches.
pacman -Syyu
// Will update system with the database caches and system.
Then install Steam. If the problem persists let us know.
Addendum:
If [mutlilib] was not commented out, we have to verify that the packages containing those lib files were not installed.
To do this you use “pacman -Qi” package-name
To get the package name you need to cross-reference the library file, in a google search “Arch libXtst.so.6”. This will help you find out what package contains the file. Compile your list, and install all missing packages.
ok i did that but i tried to install steam and it said this
"no servers configured for repository"
Please post your output of the following command:
cat /etc/pacman.conf
I suggest using pastebin.com to post it. Then copy and submit the link in your response.
you are missing the mirror for Multilib
Change your pacman.conf to:
[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Run “pacman -Syyu” again.
the post earlier said comment out multilib and run pacman -Syyu, im confused now
No it said "make sure multilib is uncommented"
Add the section I posted in my last post then run “pacman -Syyu”.
ok i did that, and installed steam. im still missing those libraries. should i try installing them seperatly?
Run the following
sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo pacman -S steam steam-native-runtime
Then run
steam
Please post the output in the terminal when running steam for the first time.
Sometimes it’s something as simple as running it in a terminal for the first run
that actually worked! thanks!
