Hi!

I am trying to start Steam but nothing happens. I reinstalled it but still nothing after I press it.
How can I make it work?

Thank you!

This is what I got:

  1. /usr/games/steam
  2. tar: This does not look like a tar archive
  3. xz: (stdin): File format not recognized
  4. tar: Child returned status 1
  5. tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
  6. find: ‘/home/osomfinch/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime’: No such file or directory
Copy the Code

Maybe you can try to delete "~/.steam" and "~/.local/share/Steam", reopen steam to update

Oh wow.  I only had it in "~/.steam". I deleted it and it started updating.
And no everything seems to work!
Thank you a lot!

If steam can work, do not run "steam --reset"

Steam needs curl to download files but Deepin is not installed by default.
Try run these in termianl:
  1. sudo aptitude install curl libcurl3
  2. rm ~/.steam
  3. rm ~/.local/share/Steam
  4. steam
Copy the Code


For Deepin developer:
https://bbs.deepin.org/user/48640 我当时也遇到一样的问题啊,刚装上的Deepin无法运行Steam,找了半天原因,最后说是没有curl。
你们新装的测试机,真的能在没有curl的状态下启动预装的Steam?
