Xaositect pisze:I managed to run SteamOS session on my Debian desktop. Here is the guide (use at your own risk. it worked on my Debian unstable and will probably work even better on wheezy, but of course it may cause problems now or in the future):
1. Add SteamOS repository.
Create a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/steamos.list with the following content:
deb
http://repo.steampowered.com/steamos alchemist main contrib non-free
deb-src
http://repo.steampowered.com/steamos alchemist main contrib non-free
2. (Optional) Set up APT pinning.
(Many usual packages in SteamOS are just rebuilt packages from Debian, so I thought I need only relevant packages from this repository)
Add the following lines to the file /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: *
Pin: origin repo.steampowered.com
Pin-Priority: 400
This will allow SteamOS packages to update, but not to replace existing packages from Debian.
3. Install keyring:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install valve-archive-keyring
# apt-get update
This package contains the GPG key that signs other packages. APT will ask for confirmation to install a package with unknown signature.
3. Install SteamOS kernel and packages:
# apt-get -t alchemist install linux-image-686
or
# apt-get -t alchemist install linux-image-amd64
# apt-get -t alchemist install steamos-base-files steam steam-launcher steamos-compositor steamos-modeswitch-inhibitor valve-wallpapers
(For amd64 systems, use steam:i386 instead of steam)
4. (Probably optional) Upgrade video drivers (nvidia)
# dpkg -l *nvidia* | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}' | xargs apt-get -t alchemist install
5. Run steam, login and install client updates if needed.
6. Reboot and choose SteamOS as your Xsession.
7. Play
I tested Tetrobot & Co game, but all linux games should run just fine.
