[SOLVED] steam installation

i try run steam but do nothing

$ steam
steam.sh[2259]: Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
steam.sh[2259]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
setup.sh[2331]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!
steam.sh[2259]: Can't find 'steam-runtime-check-requirements', continuing anyway
WARNING: setlocale('en_US.UTF-8') failed, using locale: 'C'. International characters may not work.

the installation of the 32-bit version of the OpenGL graphics driver, can be overwrite my working nvidia driver installation, and maybe is not necessary..

i using nvidia-470xx-utils 470.182.03-1

wiki say to install
lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils 470.182.03-1

what do installation of lib32 in a working 64 bit installation.. replace or coexist?

How should I behave to install steam, since the apps and programs I use, are all 64bit. A 32-bit driver installation is not forward-looking as a solution. And also my native language is Italian?
tnx in advance

Re: [SOLVED] steam installation

In order to run Steam on Arch Linux:

• You must install the 32-bit version of the OpenGL graphics driver.

• If not already done during installation, you must generate the en_US.UTF-8 locale to preventing invalid pointer errors.

the installation of the 32-bit version of the OpenGL graphics driver, can be overwrite my working nvidia driver installation, and maybe is not necessary..

the 32-bit OpenGL driver is very much necessary for Steam and coexists nicely with the 64-bit version.

pacman -Qs nvidia-utils
local/lib32-nvidia-utils 530.41.03-1
    NVIDIA drivers utilities (32-bit)
local/nvidia-utils 530.41.03-1
    NVIDIA drivers utilities

i would suggest you start by installing lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils and generating the requested locale.

And also my native language is Italian?

once you get Steam running you can change the language in use from its settings. the en_US.UTF-8 locale is apparently necessary for Steam to run properly.

Re: [SOLVED] steam installation

Ok lib32

send this lines when i try open steam

$ steam
steam.sh[1585]: Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
steam.sh[1585]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
setup.sh[1657]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!
steam.sh[1585]: Can't find 'steam-runtime-check-requirements', continuing anyway

In locale.conf I added the language and the error disappeared.

i trying open but steam do nothing..

Re: [SOLVED] steam installation

That's the error you get when not generating the english locale, follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Locale … ng_locales to generate the english locale

Re: [SOLVED] steam installation

I need only able en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 and comment  # Italian language, or they can coexist ?

$ sudo locale-gen
Generating locales...
  en_US.UTF-8... done
  it_IT.UTF-8... done

$ locale
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8

Re: [SOLVED] steam installation

They can coexist and that output looks correct you shouldn't get the same error now

You need to install lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils before installing steam.

Istalled lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils Before installing steam, also I installed the ttf-liberation and wqy-zenhei packages. And generated locale whit local-gen. Pacman doesn't ask me to install steam from a vendor.. Mark solved. Now I have to learn how to run windows games on arch linux with proton. But is an other question..
