Had you run in terminal:

dpkg --add-architecture i386

Prior to attempting to install Steam?

i run this command on terminal , but again same output on

sudo aptitude install steam

4

I see - You are running Zorin OS on VirtualBox or in VMware?

5

noooo, i m on fully installed zorin 16 beta

6

Very odd... That is what that warning means. Are you running Windows in VMware?

7

no, i hv dual booted
and temporary triple booted, z15.3 windows 10 , and z16beta

8

I'm stumped, then.

What happens if you install from apt instead of aptitude?

Hi @milesdredd,

As I am not a gamer, I have never installed Steam before.
But I decided to test install Steam since this 32 bit library requirement is a very interesting subject.

I installed Steam in Software on my Zorin 16 beta, make sure it is a PPA install. Everything went as it should.

It might sound a stupid question, but have you ever tried to install Steam in Software?

10

yes and i got ,

unmet depedencies

I really wonder what is the difference between our installation of Zorin 16 beta.

Mine is pretty close to the plain vanilla installation without much customization since I have to reinstall everything pretty soon when Zorin 16 Ultimate if released.

Do you remember anything special you did after the Zorin16 installation?

12

I always grab the .deb package from steam homepage.

13

no

but now i installed

sudo apt-get install libc6-i386

also downloaded steam
but at last it says

14

Good point.
Also if you use GDebi for installing deb file, it is easy to see what exactly the missing libraries are.

15

Which video card do you have?

16

CPU: AMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics (4) @ 2.200GH
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon R4/R5 Graphics

17

Try install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 and then try the .deb package again.

18

sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
