Did the problem occur during installation?
- Yes
What happened?
- When installing Steam, the Steam client cannot obtain administrator rights when installing additional dependencies.
- I installed steam by following the steps below. The wsl version involved is https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9P7BDVKVNXZ6 , Ubuntu-Preview.
- There are some irrelevant pop-ups when executing
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y, which seems to be caused by the upcoming release of Ubuntu 24.04.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
cd /tmp/
wget https://repo.steampowered.com/steam/archive/precise/steam_latest.deb
sudo apt install --fix-missing ./steam_latest.deb -y
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update -y
steam-
At this time, entering the password of the current ubuntu account in the steam client will result in a prompt of no authorization. If I try to copy this log, it will cause the steam client to crash.

The only way to solve this problem is to install the dependencies manually, I don't know why the steam client reports no authorization.
sudo apt install libc6:amd64 libc6:i386 libegl1:amd64 libegl1:i386 libgbm1:amd64 libgbm1:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1:amd64 libgl1:i386 steam-libs-amd64:amd64 steam-libs-i386:i386 -y
steam
What was expected?
- Complete the installation of steam without the need to manually install additional dependencies.
- If possible, I hope I don't need to manually execute
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386because this sentence is hidden in a steam issue, not in a steam document. I'm not sure about Ubuntu Desktop How does it perform in . Reference steam-runtime not properly unpacked: missing .so files (steamui.so and others) on Debian 10 ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#6882 (comment) .
Steps to reproduce
- Execute the following command on the new Ubuntu Preview WSL instance.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
cd /tmp/
wget https://repo.steampowered.com/steam/archive/precise/steam_latest.deb
sudo apt install --fix-missing ./steam_latest.deb -y
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update -y
steamAdditional information
- To be honest, it seems that no Log is needed because it is reproducible unless there are any issues related to WSLg. When executing
steam, the following log exists in the shell.
