[SOLVED] Can't install Steam installer from repo

tmick · 07-27-2023, 02:12 PM

I have a fresh install of Debian Bookworm and I'm trying to install Steam.
I have the 386 packages /Architecture installed but I can't find the Steam installer and if I try to install manually I get this:

Code:

GPG error: http://repo.steampowered.com/steam stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F24AEA9FB05498B7The repository 'http://repo.steampowered.com/steam stable InRelease' is not signed.

Suggestions please.
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps this article from the Debian wiki will help.

Debian steam-installer requires you to add non-free repositories. Do that then you can install it. That was step #1 in the wiki link someone already shared with you.

Code:

sudo apt edit-sources

and add "non-free contrib" to the ends of all the lines that start with deb after "main non-free-firmware"

That other error is cuz you manually added some non official repository but not the key. If it is in your main sources list, remove the corresponding lines, otherwise just remove the corresponding list file.

Code:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/whatever-filename.list

Then you should

Code:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install steam-installer

My sources look like this:

Code:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

and when I run apt update I get:

You've got the "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm" line twice, once with "main non-free-firmware" and again for "main non-free contrib"

Put them all on line line. i.e. "main non-free-firmware non-free contrib"

And add non-free and contrib to your security, backports and updates repos too.

Code:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware non-free contrib
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware non-free contrib

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main non-free-firmware non-free contrib
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main non-free-firmware non-free contrib

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware non-free contrib
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware non-free contrib

And you still havent removed that steampowered repo. Delete the file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Debian's installer installs the upstream steam client which updates itself, so don't need any outside repositories to keep steam up to date.

That's better! All fixed now

Glad you got it working!
