I suggest you ask the Linux Mint Debian Forum >>> https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewforum. ... 69b8fd796b
Re: Steam refuses to run
Hi,
Like "arochester" said before me, the best forum for this kind of question will be the Linux Mint Debian Forum, or even the Steam forum. But because you asked I will try to help you.
I didnt have steam on my debian mechine so I installed it from 0.
The "problem" is that it worked fine for me.
Did you install it with the "apt-get" tool?
any way from looking a bit online I found this from Debian documentation
"However, some core libraries included in the Steam Runtime will often conflict with the newer versions of other libraries included in Debian (such as drivers, and specifically the open-source ATI driver).
You can work around this by deleting the Steam Runtime versions of these libraries, forcing Steam to fall back to the up-to-date system versions (the ones installed by apt-get).
Note that Steam will frequently re-install these runtime libraries when Steam is updated, so until ValveSoftware/steam-runtime#13(https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam- ... /issues/13) is resolved, whenever Steam updates, you should exit, remove the libraries, and restart it again.
Run these commands to remove runtime libraries known to cause issues with Debian:
# rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
# rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
# rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
# rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
# rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1
"
You can try this and tell us if that works
good luck
EDIT:
when you run steam with which user do you run it?
you should make sure that the user will be at least in the "video" and "audio" groups
