Hello everyone, At this week's meeting, Paul and Ryan asked me to work on a short article about the gaming platform Steam as you can now install it as a Flatpak <http://flatpak.org> app using Flathub <http://flathub.org>. Unfortunately, I've hit a couple of problems. BTW I understand this isn't Stack Overflow and my rookie mistakes might be a little frustrating! Anyway, after I'd set up Flatpak/Flathub, I installed Steam using Gnome Software (which appears to be recommended). However, I couldn't run Steam after installation because I was missing some drivers (see screenshot). When I couldn't find the drivers on the internet, I uninstalled Steam and used these instructions <https://linuxconfig.org/installing-steam-on-fedora-25-linux> to install Steam the normal way to check if it worked. That was fine and, ironically, told me how to fix my driver problem at the same time. The problem I have now is that I can't install Steam at all using Gnome Software. The install button disappears after I click it, only to reappear a few moments later, and the download % bar doesn't appear at all. It works fine when I install Steam with Flathub at the command line, though. What I need is someone to check that they can install and run Steam using Flathub and Gnome Software. I then could write the article once I know it works, but, to be fair, I'd feel a bit of douche writing something knowing I couldn't get it to work properly myself! Apologies for the hassles, Stu Brady _______________________________________________ Fedora Magazine mailing list -- magazine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to magazine-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
