Operating system vendors, and in particular the authors of the GNU C library, change the locale data from time to time in minor ways to correct mistakes or add support for more languages. Therefore, it is essential to the correct operation of a database that the locale definitions do not change incompatibly during the lifetime of a database.
#Debian glibc update#
Similarly, in a partitioned table, a query could look in the wrong partition and an update could write to the wrong partition. For example, if an index is not sorted in a way that an index scan is expecting it, a query could fail to find data that is actually there, and an update could insert duplicate data that should be disallowed. If the locale data in the C library changes during the lifetime of a database, the persisted data may become inconsistent with the expected sort order, which could lead to erroneous query results and other incorrect behavior. In the latter two cases, sorted data is persisted to disk. Sorting happens in a variety of contexts, including for user output, merge joins, B-tree indexes, and range partitions. PostgreSQL uses locale data provided by the operating system’s C library for sorting text. Other operating systems could in principle have the same issues, but we have not gathered any information about that. This also turned out to be helpful getting a few games in Desura running, which also happened to require Glibc 2.15 as well.The following information focuses on operating systems using the GNU C library (glibc), which includes most popular Linux distributions. Save yourself any hassles you can.Īlso, thank you to the folk who posted links and information here which helped me get Steam up and running on Linux Mint Debian Edition. If you are going to publish to an open source community, after all, why not take all the benefits you can get from that fact, even if you are publishing a closed app like Steam? Let the community help when they're willing and able. are not actually utilizing the benefits of the package system" and a simple executable installer script like many games use would have been easier for them to implement, and would likely have led to a Steam without Ubuntu specific dependencies causing users of other distros hassles.įurthermore, such an installer would have also been easier I suspect for the various distro communities to package up for their own distros, releasing Valve from the burden of bothering with packaging at all. The comment by _donda_ still holds true that "the steam people (Valve). STEAM_RUNTIME has been set by the user to: /home/ross/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime Installing bootstrap /home/ross/.local/share/Steam/ Version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /home/ross/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32 I've followed some guides all of which have little vague points and I've gotten to this point when I try to run steam from terminal:
#Debian glibc how to#
Has anyone managed to get steam running on debian? I can't figure out how to satisfy the glibc 2.15 requirement.
