Cannot launch client on Linux (Debian 9)

[SystemParadox 0]

Hi.

 

I'm running Debian 9 64-bit, and I'm unable to get the WU client to work. Steam says it's launched, and it shows in ps, but nothing appears on the screen, and after a minute or so it exits.

 

If I run steam in the terminal I get the following output when trying to start the client:

GameAction [AppID 366220, ActionID 17] : LaunchApp changed task to ProcessingInstallScript with ""

During this time there are two processes showing in ps:

Then after a minute or so, the steam output adds the following:

Running ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Wurm Unlimited/WurmServerLauncher/WurmServerLauncher works to run the server, but I can't get the client to work.

 

Any suggestions? I haven't been able to find any log files. Where should I be looking for these?

 

Thanks.

Somewhere along the line I managed to fix it. I think it may have been to do with missing 32-bit dependencies for the steam overlay.

 

Following the advice here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam/Troubleshooting#Debugging_shared_libraries, you can find out the missing libraries by running the following:

cd ~/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32
file * | grep ELF | cut -d: -f1 | LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. xargs ldd | grep 'not found' | sort | uniq

I ended up installing the following packages, and adding a symlink for libudev.so.0. Possibly not all of this is actually required:

sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libc6:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libxcursor1:i386 libbz2-1.0:i386 libdbus-glib-1-2:i386 libopenal1:i386 libnm-glib4:i386 libnm-util2:i386 libva-x11-1:i386 libva1:i386 libusb-1.0-0:i386 libvdpau1:i386
sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0
