Hi there, I ran up Steam on my openSUSE 15.1 Beta box in KVM and it installed fine. The first started stopped somehow: comrad@linux-9lzl:~> steam Setting up Steam content in /home/comrad/.local/share/Steam Running Steam on opensuse-leap 15.1 64-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0) libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast But when I closed the terminal an ran Steam a second time it downloaded the data files and updated itself. Login and downloading a game also worked fine. I even could run Uplink in KVM (screenshot here: https://imgur.com/a/D54RtJD). Cheers, Bernd On 08.03.19 17:56, Jimmy Berry wrote:
As reported in the bug, the first-run experience of Steam can be either perfect or completely terrible depending on your hardware and the day of the week. All errors that I have seen on my systems can be resolved via a quick search for the error message. After resolving the issues do not come back and Steam works fine.
Last I checked, this was true of all non-officially supported distros (read Ubuntu). The further away from officially supported (in terms of lib versions) the more problems one can encounter. I had an issue open on streamtricks to try and wrap the Steam startup script and handle the different fail scenarios, but ran out of energy.
Otherwise, given that Steam is actively used on Tumbleweed by a fairly large number of users (as evident via forums, separate IRC communities, and community sites) I would expect to hear about a large scale issue. Otherwise, most issue (even for Tumbleweed) are reported on the upstream github issue repo by Valve as they are truely the only ones that can resolve most issues.
Based on the feedback to this mail already and the above I see no reason to remove the Steam package. That said improvements welcome.
