[member=7464]Berly85[/member] You're doing great. The terminal output is what Jerry needed. The only adjustment would be to post it using the Code format. It's one of the formatting tools/buttons in the full message edit screen.

Code:

junrel@junrel-desktop:~$ steam
Running Steam on ubuntu 16.04 32-bit

Looking at your system specs, you're not going to get great performance with Steam on your computer.
You could try installing the legacy binary drivers first, reboot, then try Steam again. Menu, System, Install Drivers.

sir i follow your instructions,MENU,SYSTEM,INSTALL DRIVERS...after the searh is done it says [no additional drivers found] because when i install linux lite i updated it.When im surfing on askubuntu site while waiting replies in this forum i found a similar problem in mine and follow their instructions as what they taught on the other guy and i run these commands:

Code:

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
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

the steam is opening,it extract the files,verify installations,configuring my account,sent verification email,then i log in to my account and hit ok and after that no display of steam homepage

[Berly85]
