Talk:Steam

This is a pretty important package. Why not open a bug for integrating it into Funtoo? There is no reason to force people to use layman.

Steam doesn't run from these instructions

The instructions on this page are not complete. I am not using epro flavor or mix-ins, in a rather minimal installation with Openbox on X.org so maybe this is why it's not working for me, but there appears to be things missing.

First of all, /usr/games/bin/steam cannot be run by root, but my user doesn't have permissions to run it either. After running

   chmod 777 /usr/games/bin/steam

I can run it, and accept a license agreement. After that, I get the following output, and crash:

I do have x11-libs/libxcb installed, with xkb USE flag, and nothing else (32 and 64 bit). I don't see what the problem is. Dan-erik (talk) 08:53, January 19, 2017 (MST)
