Debugging

These are some commands I found useful when debugging issues with the Steam games or Steam itself.

They are pretty much unsorted and are intended for an experienced folks.

Checking whether pulseaudio is working:

# apt -y install pulseaudio-utils
$ paplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

apt-get update && apt-get -y install alsa-utils mesa-utils vim less gdb strace binutils wget

strings /tmp/dumps/crash_20160429212710_1.dmp |grep -i so$ |awk '{print $NF}' |sort |uniq |grep ^\/ |xargs ldd |grep -i found

for i in $(strings /tmp/dumps/crash_20160429213210_1.dmp |grep -i so$ |awk '{print $NF}' |sort |uniq  |grep -v ^\/ |grep -v ^LD_PRE); do find . -name "$i" | xargs -I@ ldd @ |grep found ;done

The real error was:
