Question: What's the difference between this installer and Valve's?

Question: How do I launch?

  • Answer: Type in any terminal: steam-debian

Question: Whenever I launch Steam, it asks me to install jockey-common, but it's not in Debian's repo

  • Answer: Type in any terminal: sh /usr/lib/steam/steam-debian-depends.sh steam-debian-depends.sh is a simple shell script that downloads python-xkit and jockey-common from Ubuntu's repo and installs them using dpkg. Make sure the user that executes this script is in the sudoers list.

Question: Where can I find the source?

  • Answer: steam-debian_1.0.0.39-8-2_all contains the source
