Difficulties installing steam from RPMFusion-nonfree

Rocky Linux Help & Support

Aloha,

New here, looking for any assistance with an issue I’ve been having with Steam.

I’m running Rocky Linux 8.10, and I can’t get Steam to install. I’m trying to install from dnf using the RPMFusion-nonfree repo. The problem is that I keep getting dependency error telling me that I need the 32-bit version of Pipewire-ALSA to be able to continue. I had Steam installed previously without issue using the same method, but something happened over years of updates and I had to uninstall it since it was messing up a few other things.

Error:Problem: problem with installed package pipewire-0.3.6-1.el8.x86_64

  • package steam-1.0.0.82-3.el8.i686 from rpmfusion-nonfree-updates requires (pipewire-alsa(x86-32) if pipewire), but none of the providers can be installed

  • conflicting requests

Anybody got any tips? I’ve been trying to figure this out on my own for a while without success.

Try:

dnf install pipewire-alsa.i686 --enablerepo=devel

as per here: https://pkgs.org/search/?q=pipewire-alsa it’s shown as being in devel repo.

Thanks so much! That’s done the trick. No amount of googling helped me figure that out. I’ll have to bookmark that website you linked to so I don’t forget it.
