That's right - if you install from the software center in Ubuntu 14.04, it hangs and you get a failed to install error, but if you download the deb package from the Steam web site and install it in Terminal it works just fine. To be on the safe side I installed two 32 bit libraries I found on another discussion - ia32-libs and libcurl:i386; that wouldn't be an issue in 64 bit linux.
My guess is them idiots at Synaptic or whoever haven't updated the software center or the packages; I've run into that all over the place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1303411 Title: Steam not installing? 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1303411/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
