Installing steam on ubuntu

[Daniel_185]

I just installed ubuntu and am trying to install steam. I went through the terminal, entering sudo apt-get install steam. It went through the download process, I accepted the terms and conditions and all that. Then it brought me back to the terminal and had a bunch of processing triggers lines and preparing to unpack and all that kind of stuff. Then it stopped at Setting up steam: i386 (1:1.0.0.48-1ubuntu2.1). Then nothing happened after that, I gave it a few minutes and nothing. So I tried to launch it, nothing happened. Tried to launch it a few different ways and still nothing. Then I tried to reinstall it, and it said it was already installed. After I uninstalled steam and tried to reinstall with the same exact dilemma.

What if you run steam from terminal, any message?

When I tried to launch steam via the terminal I get these messages:

Steam is a 32bit only application. Since you run 64bit ubuntu Did you remember to enable the multilib repository and install the various necessary 32bit libraries steam requires?
