Do you have these packages isntalled?

libmpg123, libgstvideo-1.0, and libgnutls

Do you what which repo has those?

@Goalkeeper

did find this one… is it the same as the libgnutls

I was just about to say that looking online it looked like libgnutls was gnutils. Lol

So now we just have to find the video one right?

Looks like gstreamer-video-base contains the video package.

I have Nvidia, so my situation is probably a little different. I install negatvio17 repos for Steam and Nvidia, and I install Nvidia, dkms, kernel-devel, lib32 for Nvidia, and Steam. After a reboot it fires right up.

Prior to using the Negativo17 repos, it was hell to get Steam working on Fedora. Now, it works everytime, without issue. *

* I just converted my wife’s work computer to Fedora and installed Steam with Cities: Skylines on there. It went surprisingly well, even she was impressed :nerd_face:

Edit — Kind of a d-bag move to not include links :smiley:

Lol. Well, if so, that’s impressive. I only know one other person that went the distance like that on a single install. He had Arch Linux on his laptop for 4 or 5 years. Never reinstalled, always fixed update breaking issues, etc.

He uses Windows 10 now :smile: :joy:
