This has the pros of:

1. Sandboxing,
2. Sane environment for library dependencies.
3. A catalyst to place the Steam runtime in so there is no need for a mountain of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD hacks. This will inherently remove the libstdc++ conflict and other problems.

This has the cons of:

1. Requiring the application (game developers) to support Flatpak.

Is it viable or worth it?

I'm seeing a few crashes in snd_device_name_hint() (called, in this case, via FMOD's FMOD::System::getDriverCaps() function) which occur under the Steam runtime (release_2015-01-06), but not natively on (K)Ubuntu 14.10.

It appears to be a result of this issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-lib/+bug/1008600

Could you either backport the fix, or update the included version of alsa?

Cheers,

The included Mono evironment - specifically the libgdiplus library - for the games Dwarfs?! and Dwarfs - F2P requires the 32 bit version of

libexif.so.12

which is currently neither provided by the developer nor available in the steam runtime. Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 x64 with no additional i386 libs besides the mandatory libc6 for the steam client and the GL stuff from the nvidia driver.

Can you add libexif12 to the default steam runtime package list?

Hi. Any chance you could add the Boost C++ library to the runtime's list of packages? Thank you.

Steam starts ONLY with:
LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6' steam
By running steam with this command and then starting a game do i risk VAC ban?

Steam client outputs this error:

I am running Arch Linux with Fluxbox (simple window manager instead of KDE/gnome).

Yesterday I was playing Portal Stories: Mel fine. Today the steam client updated including the steam runtime and I can't start Portal Stories anymore. Portal 2 works fine.

The X error I get:

X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 42 (X_SetInputFocus)
Serial number of failed request: 1357
Current serial number in output stream: 1360

This was previously reported here for the beta of the steam runtime:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/317400/discussions/0/530646715646773908/
It does look like the same problem is now released in the stable steam client.

This seems to be the same problem for Dota 2 Reborn and AwesomeWM (instead of Fluxbox):
awesomeWM/awesome#292
There it is linked to this libsdl issue that is fixed upstream, but possibly not in the version shipped with Steam:
https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2997

same here on 64bits ArchLinux with L4D2. The issue appeared out of nowhere in the last days. It happens after several seconds up to a few minutes of game. None of available solutions helped.

Crashes on main menu (L4D2), while game is loading and during the game, then after few-several minutes steam crashes.

I think its because missing fonts. I copied /usr/share/fonts folder into ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/share but it doesn't helped.
My pc specs http://pastebin.com/r6e2BiGS

When I run ./shell-i386, run all my build scripts and use the same shell to also build for amd64 by running ./shell-amd64, it will still use the i386 as target arch. This is due to the fact that the env var is not reset on each shell.sh call. Not sure if this is intended. And if it is, it should maybe get added to the docu to call "unset STEAM_RUNTIME_TARGET_ARCH" in your build server or spawn a new shell.

Right so according to steam support i am supposed to query here about steamcmd issues

so i will post my initial conversation with steam support below

I am Attempting to run a Starbound server on my server And upon attempting to install it i get the error below
at first i was getting app state is 0x602 after update but upon running it as root (which i wont be doing in future)
i get

Hello Al,

Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

Please complete the steps below to refresh your configuration files for Steam:

Exit Steam.

Please open Internet Explorer, Safari or Firefox and type steam://flushconfig then press Enter. (If asked to allow this website to open a program, please click 'Allow' or 'OK')

When prompted by Steam to reset your configuration, please click 'OK' to confirm.

Once done, login to Steam and re-test the issue.

If you have multiple installation folders for games doing this process will remove them. You will need to add the folders again in Steam so that your games will appear as installed.

In order to add these extra installation folders please do the following:

1. Open Steam
2. Click Steam > Settings (Preferences on Mac)
3. Navigate to the 'Downloads' tab
4. Click the 'Steam Library Folders' button
5. Click on 'Add Library Folder' and add the directory that contains your games
6. Click 'OK'
7. Restart Steam

If the issue persists, make sure your network is optimized for Steam:

Title: Troubleshooting Network Connectivity

Hello Al,

Steam for Linux is currently only supported on Ubuntu 12.04/12.10 with Unity, Gnome, or KDE desktops.

If you are running another distribution of Linux, we will not be able to provide support. We recommend you install Ubuntu for the best Steam experience on Linux.

For more information on this please visit the following link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve
5 Message by you on Wed, 18th Dec 2013 2:38 am
to clarify further this is running the exact same library's as Ubuntu 12.04/12.10 so there should be no compatibility issues there
however the machine it is installed on is using a command line interface
i am using the steamcmd utility and not desktop steam as can be seen here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD
if this ticket has not already been escalated could it please be escalated now as i am unable to provide service to my userbase due to this

any help would be appreciated

All steam runtimes released this year doesn't work with XCOM2, and after a system update I'm unable to to obtain an older, working version.

Would it be possible for steam to follow best practices and NOT delete old versions/packages from their repos?

Running the following in steamrt_scout_amd64:

sudo apt-get install git

Fails with:

Failed to fetch http://repo.steampowered.com/steamrt/pool/main/libx/libxmu/libxmuu1_1.1.03+srt4_amd64.deb  Size mismatch
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

http://repo.steampowered.com/steamrt shows: "Welcome to nginx"

I get this error in Fedora 21.
If I delete all libgcc* and libstd* files, I can start Steam, but cannot launch any game from it.

Hello,

I am working on porting a game to Linux using heavily C++11 features. As the game primary target compiler has been LLVM/Clang, I am glad to hear steam-runtime features clang 3.4.
However, clang3.4 does not always play very nice with libstdc++ bundled with GCC 4.8 for advanced C++11 features.
It would be really nice to see libc++ added to steam-runtime as it is the ideal companion for LLVM/Clang toolchain.

After a graphics drivers and llvm update (mesa git 2014.04.26, compiled with llvm 3.5; llvm 3.5 svn 207303) I have experienced the following problem:

libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/radeonsi_dri.so failed (/home/jose/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version GLIBCXX_3.4.18' not found (required by /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libLLVM-3.5.0.so.1)) libGL error: dlopen ${ORIGIN}/dri/radeonsi_dri.so failed (${ORIGIN}/dri/radeonsi_dri.so: no se puede abrir el archivo del objeto compartido: No existe el archivo o el directorio) libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/dri/radeonsi_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/radeonsi_dri.so: no se puede abrir el archivo del objeto compartido: No existe el archivo o el directorio) libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so libGL error: driver pointer missing libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/home/jose/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: versionGLIBCXX_3.4.18' not found (required by /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libLLVM-3.5.0.so.1))

However the command strings /home/jose/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIB did show version 3.4.18.

Removing the libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.0.16 files solved the issue and now steam starts with direct GPU acceleration.

The Horipad Ultimate (bluetooth 4.1 game controller, Apple MFi compliant) joypad 'almost' works on Steam.

This patch from a few days ago to OpenEmu was their fix to making the HID device work properly:

OpenEmu/OpenEmu-SDK@565527c

I suspect that a large wad of this patch could be used to enhance the steam runtime bits. This may be the wrong place for this issue - if so, please help me find the proper home for it.

In its current state the joypad 'almost' works - everything but the dpad. Most of the existing OSX joystick utilities don't support it completely either - that dpad is a serious lack. It needs a little button remapping, also, but that's incredibly minor compared to buttons not working for more complex reasons.

This controller lacks clicky-sticks as per the MFi standard, but is otherwise very similar to a PS4 controller without the touchpad and the start/option buttons. It also feels great in your hands :)

best,

I would like to know what the conditions start to overlay non-Steam games. Sorry for my english and if this information is obvious, and quickly searched

Just as the title says. This prevents building SDL2 games with the debug runtime (without any hacking, that is).

Here's an SDK instance I've been progressively updating for the last couple of months:

And here's a fresh one:

ls: cannot access libSDL2*: No such file or directory
inequation@spearhead:~/projects/SteamRuntime/runtime-debug/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu$

Same situation applies to amd64.

Please upgrade libXext to 1.3.3 as a fix to this: ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#3364

While using in-home streaming on a client utilizing Intel Graphics on linux, the following is often encountered upon exiting a game:

The streaming client ended unexpectedly [2]

I utilize a ASUS Chromebox (M004U) with SteamOS installed on it.

The error completely hangs up the SteamOS BPM UI when it is encountered - keyboard / controllers are not responsive. I can still login to SteamOS via ssh.

When this error occurs, the following is always noted in steam_stdout.txt:

NFO: Session state Streaming -> StreamStopping
INFO: Detaching controller X360 Wireless Controller with ID 0
INFO: Session state StreamStopping -> Idle
X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)

Resource id in failed request: 0x180001a
Serial number of failed request: 12109
Current serial number in output stream: 12109

nothing unusual can be seen in streaming_client.log.

I believe that this issue was recently addressed by a patch contained within Libva - 1.5.0, which was released on December 29th, 2014 with the updated 2014Q4 Intel Graphics Stack Release. It is noted in the release notes found here:

https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2014/2014q4-intel-graphics-stack-release

Details of what this patch addresses can be found here:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libva/2014-November/002905.html

> Calling vaTerminate() after the pixmaps, given to vaPutSurface(), have
> been destroyed results in errors coming from the X server.
> 
> These errors happens because LibVA tries to destroy the DRI2Drawables
> related to the XPixmaps passed to vaPutSurface(). VA_DRI2Error() has
> some code to catch these errors and ignore them. The problem is that
> LibX11 doesn't trigger the extension error handlers unless you're

manually updating to libva1_1.5.0-1, i965-va-driver_1.5.0-1, libva-x11-1_1.5.0-1, and libva-glx1_1.5.0-1 addresses this problem. After installing and linking the libs in the steam-runtime directories, I no longer encounter this error.

I am opening this bug against steam-runtime at Plagman's suggestion to track upgrading the version of libva to 1.5.0, or backporting the fix. I originally opened this issue against SteamOS.

Thanks!

build_runtime.py is not Python3 compliant. There are several cases where print is left without parenthesis.

When will Counter-Strike Source support microphones on Linux? This is BS. This was a bug while in BETA and is STILL BROKEN!!!!! WTF?!?!?!

md5 is long considered insecure, but https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/blob/master/build-runtime.py is still using it.

Will the Steam Runtime ever support gcc 5?

It seems like as of right now it doesn't support it, which means I'd either have to build my application with gcc 4 (which requires a few changes in the core that I'd rather not touch at this point) or wait until the runtime supports gcc 5.

It seems the current mesa GL libraries are a few years out of date in the runtime repo. Would it be possible to update them?

The current version of mesa-common-dev is 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.7+srt4, which does not contain definitions for extensions introduced after the glext.h last update time of 2011-08-08.

The current version on Ubuntu LTS 14.04 appears to be 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.2, which was updated 2013-12-12, new enough to include recent additions, so this seems like a fair target to update to, if not something newer.

Notable missing extension definitions include
GL_KHR_Debug
GL_ARB_texture_view
GL_ARB_compute_shader

After half a minute at most after launching a game, pulseaudio will crash and automatically restart. (Error in pa_malloc()) The error is due to an incompatibility in the libraries steam-runtime ships with.

Deleting the contents of
~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/
(and ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/ if applicable)
Fixes the bug. Although, to be honest, I'm deleting all the libraries at this point.

An additional replication difficulty may be that some games work fine unless I have my phone connected via Bluetooth as an audio source, i.e. Grim fandango remastered and massive chalice. Others always crash. Borderlands 2, Creeper world 3.

Consider this an extension of #13

This not an important issue since the existing games that use it supply the library themselves (e.g. Waveform or Amnesia), however, it might still be useful to add

libalut.so.0 (Ubuntu package: libalut0 )

for games that use OpenAL (libopenal is already included in your package list).

Edit: Upon closer look, it seems like ALUT is considered deprecated anyway and shouldn't be used in any future games. Sorry, I'm closing this issue.

OpenAL Soft 1.16 was released a couple weeks ago. Release announcement and notes:

http://openal.org/pipermail/openal/2014-August/000202.html
http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html

As far as I know, none of the updates are critical, but for example, XNA games that use FNA on Linux may require the AL_SOFT_block_alignment and AL_SOFT_MSADPCM extensions for SoundEffect and XACT support, so those games that wish to use the Steam runtime will need the latest version of OpenAL Soft. Other features such as the newly implemented EFX filters may also be required in the future as FNA's XACT support becomes more complete.

I get this error when I try to run a game

Could not find required OpenGL entry point 'glGetError'| Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated. 

I tried the most common fix which is removing the libstdc++ and libgcc_s from the steam runtime but this time it did not work.

This prevents Steam Overlay from starting and also crashes many games.

The version of libxcb included in the steam runtime does not appear to contain https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/libxcb/commit/?id=be0fe56c3bcad5124dcc6c47a2fad01acd16f71a, which is the fix for https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44198.

Under MESA drivers, if making GL calls (not GLX calls) and Xlib calls on separate threads, occasional hangs can happen. They do not happen if you LD_PRELOAD the Ubuntu 16.04's version of libxcb. Based on the related QT bugs, this appears to be the fix.

steam beta. I try remove friend steam via overlay in game (all games). friend don't removed and steam overlay don't opening, for fix it I wont restart game.
my system: debian sid 64-bit with gnome.

I wonder if this is the correct way to embed python interpreter if you need one. Could you check that it's fine?

Got the python working by doing this inside shell-amd64.sh:

wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/Python-2.7.6.tar.xz
./configure --prefix=$STEAM_RUNTIME_ROOT/usr
cd Python-2.7.6
make -j5
make -j5 install
cd ../bin
ln -s ../runtime/amd64/usr/bin/python python
cd ..

And when you want to install a package, for example greenlet, you do:

wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/g/greenlet/greenlet-0.4.1.zip#md5=c2deda75bdda59c38cae12a77cc53adc
unzip greenlet-0.4.1
cd greenlet-0.4.1
python setup.py install
cd ..

Wrote this roughly from memory to summarize what I did. It might contain errors.

It's quite quick and simple way to install it. Some python packages seem to end up missing but it's not anything serious. I tested it on my ubuntu install today. I will test it on steamos tomorrow.

Latest chromium-based frameworks (chromium-embedded, awesomium) builds require libgnutls-deb0-28 to be present on the system, which is included in Ubuntu since version 14.10.

I'm trying to rebuild them manually but I think it should be useful to include them on the runtime.

When i start the steam it will appear this problem if you have time please help me

Hey,
please update libstdc++. This should make Steam work out of the box for open drivers again for people with newer distributions. Insofar as I've understood should be without downsides as no ABI breakage.

Currently many CMake projects, configuration modules and scripts are dependent on CMake versions after 2.8.7.

While it's easy enough to compile the latest from source, would it be possible to upgrade to this version within the runtime repositories?

Convert to absolute path internally.

I tried running the build-runtime.sh scripts, but I notice they are depending on e.g., apt-get to download sources,
This is not very general, and so fails on my fedora installation.

So I suggest adding a download link to the source tarball to your packages.txt file, so apt-get can be done away with for downloading,
For other apt/dpkg tools there are similar ways around it, since you can download the actual tarball with the makefiles in you can run make to build them.

plug:
Actually, me and my colleagues have been working on an build and installation framework the past year [0] that does exactly this...

( I actually used it to build some dependencies on a fedora box that were not yet installed)

I deleted some files by accident. How can I regenerate steam-runtime now?

I've read here that some of the libs were patched to remove runtime dependencies on absolute paths. The article points to a patches folder in this repo but it's gone.

We package and use Steam for NixOS in a special way, essentially building our own runtime replacing some libraries with our own updated versions. We use http://media.steampowered.com/client/runtime/steam-runtime-release_${version}.tar.xz as a source, but we don't (and can't due to checksums) use latest as a version. The only way we've found to get current latest release is:

1. Download latest archive.
2. Look at the version file/directory name (currently 2014-04-15).

Is there any simpler way?

Hi, I don't know if this is the correct place to post this, if not, sorry.

I know that Praetorians game is available in steam sice April, but there is a big problem with this game, when you load or start a campaign/tutorial, the game crashes, and looking for internet for a possible fix, the people says that is a steam overlay's problem as in other few games.

If you execute the game from game directory or a shortcut, the game works fine.

I have tried turn off steam interface with the same results, game crashes.

The Steam Runtime still ships libGLEW 1.6, which is 3 years old and is missing some extensions and new OpenGL versions. Please update it.

my system debian testing. tuday steam updated, and I can't input russian symbols, only english

It appears the steam runtime's libcurl by default tries to use /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt on all distros. This string can be checked by the following:

.../steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu $ strings libcurl* | grep "\.crt"
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

This is a problem on non-Debian based distributions where users can experience certification failures, which are caused by the runtime (targeting Ubuntu 12.04) only searching the Debian cert location.

With source access to whichever system is using curl there is a workaround by setting the CURLOPT_CAINFO option to the correct path based on the system, do the following:

// Search for whichever of these exist
"/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt" // Debian/Ubuntu
"/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt" // Fedora/RHEL
"/var/lib/ca-certificates/ca-bundle.pem" // OpenSUSE 
// Or escape the steam runtime and call `curl-config --ca` to grab the location.

// Set CAINFO in curl
curl_easy_setopt( _easy , CURLOPT_CAINFO, path_to_cert );
// For openssl use
SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations( ... )

Locally on a system a user can place a symlink in the right location, but that may affect system stability and would be better to be avoided.

Unfortunately even developers don't always have direct access to the source that is using curl/openssl, so aren't able to workaround the issue as above. Would it be possible to modify the steam runtime to work out of the box on differing distros?

This older version doesn't support some C++11 features, and has significantly slower compile and linking times to the newer versions. Would it be plausible to upgrade to at least 4.8.X?
