install_steam.sh on 24.04 & Raspberry Pi 5

[martincerven]

The armhf dependencies of install_steam.sh, for example sudo apt install libgl1:armhf wants to remove half of my 24.04 system:

0 upgraded, 39 newly installed, 326 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
Need to get 88.9 MB of archives.
After this operation, 1,754 MB disk space will be freed.

I've successfully ran steam on Rpi 5 & 23.10 before, anyone ran steam on 24.04 Rpi 5?

Wow, that's not good. Is libgl1 not supported anymore? or as another name? Or maybe armhf is not supported anymore?

However, with the decision to not ship a 32-bit kernel for Raspberry Pi in 24.04 LTS, it is important to recognize that, while it is important that any software we DO ship on armhf is appropriately future-proof, this is NOT the same thing as saying that we have to ship for armhf all the software that we have previously built.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS solves the Year 2038 problem 1.3k that existed on armhf. More than a thousand packages have been updated to handle time using a 64-bit value rather than a 32-bit one, making it possible to handle times up to 292 billion years in the future.

Or maybe that they changed sources.list format in 24.04 that it broke something?

cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# Ubuntu sources have moved to the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

Oh, maybe it's libgl1t64 or something like that?

Hmm I had updated to latest kernel, also reinstalled everything, but it seems the steam is just not working on 24.04 right now:

• https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10935

also other distros:

I'll try it again after few weeks :zzz:

Oh, it's not related to box86/box64! Intresting.
