So I'm a newbie to Linux in general and installed Steam on a VM to sort of test it out. I installed Steam to check what games are available in Linux and stuff but I just doesn't open. I double click the desktop icon and nothing happens.
I downloaded it from Steam's website and installed the package normally.
Running Steam on ubuntu 15.10 32-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0) pci id for fd 7: 80ee:beef, driver (null) libGL error: core dri or dri2 extension not found libGL error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
EDIT: New problem. Now when I start Steam, the little update box appears for a couple of seconds and the terminal gives me this error:

steam
