here's steam for puppy precise & slacko
(it may also work in other modern pups)
i've hacked it a bit to remove the zenity dependence, treat it as experimental.
Steam requires python so you'll need to install the devx for it to work

I tried to download it but Mediafire says the download is corrupt and won't let me download.
Can you upload to an alternate host in case?

As I am getting a bit on in age and do not want to inadvertently purchase something when using steam, I am not installing it or agreeing to fill out the form that as part of it wants a billing address.
There are enough other sites one can play games on without having to agree to a form to be able to play the games.
The agreement form looks like it was written by a lawyer and as part of it, class action suits are not allowed and it appears one has no recourse if say for instance when playing a game, an option in the game says you can purchase so and so to help you.
So for those that think this is a free gaming site, be forewarned that it, to me, looks more like a hook.
Let it catch some other fish.

hi 8bit .. there's some information on steam here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_%28software%29
there is some amazing free content on steam (dota2, team fortress etc), but mostly it has games you have to pay for. Think of it like a computer game shop, although significantly cheaper.
steam is doing amazing things for gaming on linux! because of it's dominance in game distribution, now that it has a client for linux, a lot more games are being developed for it, and when i say games i don't mean picpuz!
i mean things like these ....

and all the games i've tried so far work on puppy

Valve are porting many of their games to linux, so you won't need wine or windows anymore to play their games.
And, as a bonus, they are helping nvidia to improve their "closed source" drivers for linux.

I have an Oblivion CD for Windows. Dose this mean I can play it now? I do see Oblivion on Steams List.

hi Amgine'
i think that's windows only at the moment ...
a friend did tell me though that you can import games that you own into steam, i haven't tried it though

hi 666philb,
I would like to know how to make steam work the original script from
http://media.steampowered.com/client/in ... /steam.deb
It cannot run with root account , so needs fido or spot, or some other modifications ?
It needs GTK-3, how to do without ? Also zenity ?
I also noticed problem with S3TC.
Thanks.

hi linuxcbon,
i can't quite remember everything that i did
however....
you get rid of the root warning by commenting out lines 137 - 141 in the /usr/bin/steam script (note that the line numbers may change as the script gets updated)
Code: Select all
# Don't allow running as root
#if [ "$(id -u)" == "0" ]; then
# show_message --error $"Cannot run as root user"
# exit 1
#fi
i think it just needs zenity to display the license agreement asking you if you agreed to it, steam won't load unless you agree... you can bypass this by creating a text file called
and putting it in /root/.steam (just create the folder if it's not there)
steam only requires libgtk3 which is in modern pups.... not the entire gtk3 so don't worry about that
.
once you've done all the above steam will work (you need python installed)... but only if you run it in a terminal ... as it will ask you to press return. (just ignore the errors)
i can't remember though what i changed to make it be able to be able to run not in a terminal .... i obviously altered a script somewhere.
But you really don't need to do any of this .... just install the steam .pet above, and it will automatically update itself to the latest version of the client

Thanks for your feedback. I asked that to make it work even if they change their scripts.
Does it work with open-source or proprietary drivers ?
Didn't you have the S3TC problem ?
(I find steam games too heavy and their client too).

Hi linuxcbon
I think the S3TC issue is driver related and so installing your graphic drivers should fix it.

I've installed the above pet, the devx, and even Zenity, but still get some error messages.
Steam tries to unpack the run-time, but gives a pop-up that reads: "You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:

Slacko Puppy 5.6.0
Posted: Thu 23 Jan 2014, 10:01
by 666philb
hi bruiser,
i've just tried the steam.pet on a vanilla slacko 5.6 with just the devx installed and it worked fine, so not sure what the problem is.
i suggest booting live.... installing the devx and seeing if it works then
Posted: Fri 24 Jan 2014, 03:11

No luck so far. I installed devx_slacko_5.6.0.sfs via SFS Manager. That the right way to install the devx?
I can work through trying to add the missing libraries the hard way, I was just looking for any better answers.
Thanks for the help so far.
