I have only started using Ubuntu, so please use simple terms if possible. I downloaded steam and tried opening it. The icon flashed a few times but nothing happened. I ran it with the terminal but it gave the message:

Running Steam on ubuntu 16.04 64-bit

STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0)

libGL error: unable to load driver: r600_dri.so

libGL error: driver pointer missing

libGL error: failed to load driver: r600

libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so

libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Any idea whats wrong?

Install the following packages, or their equivalent for Ubuntu with:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-dri:i386

Reboot the PC.

If that does not work, then, run (this is an one line command):

find ~/.steam/root/ ( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" -o -name "libgpg-error.so*" ) -print -delete

Reboot again.
