 Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2016 1:16 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Steam installing issues and WarThunder issue? |
 |
|
I tried to install Steam as an Overlay according this wiki: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam - However get this message when trying to launch it:
"Your video card or it's driver may not be supported. Be sure to install the best video card driver and try again."
I have Intel on board video card:
| Code: | | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) |
Can do something with kernel's driver or change preferences of Steam - or must to add video card?
Anyway, I want to verify if installing Steam by the other way (NOT Overlay) can work without video card -
Thus I followed the first part of the wiki and every thing went ok till running ./steam -
I get these errors with both introduced installing methods - Manual and Manual with alternative installer script:
| Code: | ./steam
/home/mg_e/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 159: DISTRIB_RELEASE: unbound variable
/home/mg_e/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 159: DISTRIB_RELEASE: unbound variable
Running Steam on gentoo 64-bit

libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so

SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred

I wonder if this wiki is updated or need some changes?
Please advise!
Thanks

| The eix output reports that 32-bit mesa is installed. It also shows that VIDEO_CARDS is set to "intel i915". However according to the Gentoo Wiki, VIDEO_CARDS may need to be set to "intel i965" for 4th generation Intel chipsets. Which Intel CPU do you have? |

I have 2 similar machines with the same "Steam' issues - Please do not refer to previous info - here the right info of the actual machine:
| Code: | uname -a
Linux mg_e2180 4.4.6-gentoo #1 SMP Thu May 12 18:24:57 IDT 2016 x86_64 Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |
| Code: | | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) |
The other machine:
| Code: | uname -a
Linux mg_6300 4.4.6-gentoo #3 SMP Wed Jun 8 16:20:27 IDT 2016 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |
| Code: | | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) |

| It seems that "intel i915" is correct. The chipsets are quite old, so they may not be supported by Steam. However the error "unable to load driver: i915_dri.so" indicates another cause. |

Chipsets has nothing to do with it, it happens with nvidia and ati cards as well.
Solution is to run this in terminal :
| Code: | | $ find ~/.local/share/Steam/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" \) -print -delete |

kajzer Hi,
After running your 'find' command, downloading was started.
After downloading was finished I needed to run the command ./steam again -
Then got the same errors... so after running your 'find' command again, Steam was launched 
(I followed this way of installing from wiki: 'Manual with alternative installer script' - Looks ok so far...)
Now i am downloading 'War Thunder' - Hope it will work ok with my Intel on board graphics -
As mentioned before, Installing Steam as an Overlay did not work...
Looks a good idea to update Steam's wiki by someone who understand how to work it out!
Thanks

Hi,
you need to run that command every time you do a fresh install of Steam , sometimes you need to run it if Steam client gets updated.
btw it is on wiki, you missed it , it's here : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam/Client_troubleshooting |

kajzer,
Thank you for providing the solution. I also didn't find it on the Wiki  . I have now updated the Wiki, with the addition of the error message, so that it's a little easier for others to find. |

After downloading 'War Thunder' I am facing same issue as was when Steam installed as Overlay 
"Your video card or it's driver may not be supported. Be sure to install the best video card driver and try again."
Maybe on board video card is not enough - Anyone had succeeded to run such game on Steam with on board chipset?!
Looks must to add video card...
Are there any differences, in terms of machine's resources, between Overlay vs Manual Steam's installing?
Maybe 'War Thunder' is too heavy to my setup - Can you please recommend on lighter nice free game?
Another little issue: during Steam's installation I did not choose to create shortcut launcher -
I did not find how to do it after installing?
BT: Hope after your wiki's updating this solution will be found faster -
If not - This topic may help 
Thanks

pmam,
The War Thunder store page lists the following minimum system requirements:
| Code: | Processor: Dual-Core 2.4 GHz
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: Intel 4000 HD/Radeon HD 5550/GeForce 8800 |
It appears that your system is too weak
There is no difference between manual and overlay installation methods on system resources. It's just a matter of choice. |

I added this video card and you can see cpu info in my previous post:
| Code: | | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cypress PRO [Radeon HD 5850] |
Now I can play with some games however still have issue with WarThunder -
I can launch the game and it is loaded but when choose to start particular game: i.e aircraft,
I get a screen without all details and psychedelic colours
I know that WarThunder is quite heavy game and may be it is beyond my machine's resources,
however please advise if can do something in order to improve graphics performance or change some setting of the game etc
In addition: I followed this https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon -
How can verify if this video card is properly installed with the right driver etc?
Is there any performance testing (bench mark)?

This issue was solved by installing propriety driver as described here:
