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.
