#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Well there are other ways to install it I won't lie, but more complicated generally unnecessary ways.
You shouldn't need a tutorial.

Just in case use this command instead
Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Syyu steam
Any issues post the command you used and all the output.

The warnings you saw were related to other package updates. Namely your initramfs was rebuilt by mkinitcpio, probably because of a kernel update. You are missing some firmwares for detected hardware. I wouldn't worry to much if your hardware is working in the way you use it. If you are missing any functionality you expect then search the warnings, and locate and add the firmwares. Another topic really.

Maybe you haven't correctly uncommented lib32?
Post /etc/pacman.conf

 I left out #[lib32-gremlins] maybe that was my mistake?

It seems perhaps you deleted the lines containing "[lib32]" and the line under it with "Include = ".

Leave [lib32-gremlins] as-is (the # in front of the lines means it is commented and therefore not read at all, so it is essentially disabled).

By default the [lib32] entry comes like this:

Code: [Select]
#[lib32]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Which again, means it is commented and so disabled.

To enable the lib32 repository you simply change it to read:

Code: [Select]
[lib32]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Then run "sudo pacman -Syyu" so pacman has the database for the lib32 packages.

Then "sudo pacman -S steam" will work.

oh I thought to "uncomment" meant "delete it" so I deleted the whole 2 lines. silly me XD

yeah steam installed just fine after adding them back so thanks for the help guys!

I was having the same issue. It seems that the Universe repository was retired, and was replaced with Omniverse.

The wiki has a section on it here

if you add these packages to your pacman.conf, it should work:

Code: [Select]
[omniverse]
Server = https://artix.sakamoto.pl/omniverse/$arch
Server = https://eu-mirror.artixlinux.org/omniverse/$arch
Server = https://omniverse.artixlinux.org/$arch

Thanks - I finally got that after about 2 hours of fuddling about.  That is one of those things that should be highlighted and at thehe  top of the instructions and in the ungoogled-chromium thread.... (which it is now, I guess).
