      After I had the same thing happen. I dug up some more info. Using the acer chroombook R 11.
      Sudo apt-get update
      Sudo apt-get install libc6-i386
      Restart the chroombook
      Open linux terminal (it will do a little update, also the terminal has now changed a little which freak me out a little, but it was fine.)
      Then again
      Sudo apt-get update
      Now go into the linux apps menu and open steam. It does an update here as well, now I'm in after getting those lib6 errors press ok messages.
      Hope this helped some people.

      Kivzyy That means you haven’t downloaded the 32 bit Libraries. To download them go to terminal and type sudo apt-get install ia32-libs (you will need to enter your password) Then incase it isn’t updated type sudo apt-get update and then restart your computer. If this doesn’t work there is another way to do it. Just reply if it doesn’t and I’ll show you the other way.

      I didn't miss any step. I have no idea
      why opening the terminal would solve
      the issue. But for some reason it solved
      it for me. Maybe solving the issue is just
      trying once a day until it sorts itself out. If
      that doesn't work, delete everything that's
      involved with linux. Then do the steps on my video. I beleive the issue is that there was something not quite right with the updating on
      the terminal. But deleting everything and re doing the steps might give it a kick and all the greyed out button should not appear anymore.

      Edith Walker That means u probably haven’t downloaded the 32-bit libraries. To download the 32-bit libraries go into the terminal and type in sudo apt-get install ia-32 libs (you will need to enter your password) Then in case it isn’t updated type sudo apt-get update and then restart your computer. If this doesn’t work there is another way to update. Don’t worry about the libc.so.6” as it should update with the terminal update. If it doesn’t reply under this text and I’ll show you how to update that.
