similar to: Installing steam to my wine prefix?

I am trying to track down a crash in Steam (Steam itself, not a game through it). In following appdb instructions for Steam I realized that it was installed in /home/tparker/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steam.exe and not in :~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files> where I had expected it, although that second directory does have a SteamInstall.msi sitting in it but

So after years of running a 'pure' Linux machine, I finally decided to install Wine so I could play some of my old games - and it's been a disaster. Using either Wine 1.5.3 or 1.3.3 trying to launch Half-Life Source results in nothing happening, trying to launch from the commandline gives this stack trace: Code: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address

Hey guys, I'm sure that this question has already been answered. If so, could someone direct me to the answer. The problem is that, steam.exe cannot access the Internet. My Internet service is fine, and I have not had any problems with steam accessing the Internet in the past. The problem only started a few days ago, and I am not sure what the cause is. I have tried basically everything. I

Hello, Ubuntu newb here. I loaded some games onto my laptop that has a fresh copy of Ubuntu 11.04 and they worked flawlessly with wine. I am now trying to get steam to work.

No ghost window, update tab or anything. I've

Hey guys, Can anyone help me close the gap between my POL and Wine setups? I currently have a laptop running PlayOnLinux 3.8.8 and a desktop running only Wine 1.3.9 (Fedora 14). As the subject read, the laptop with POL is running fine, but a generic install with the latest .msi file from the Steam website is not.

Hi, i have a very crazy issue: Im connecting with a NX Client to a XFCE Desktop. There is Wine, some Fonts and the Gecko Engine installed. The Installation and Update of Steam was very good, but after the Update was finished, i only see a Ghost Window of Steam (even when i kill it and start it again): [Image: http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/5858/xfcesteamghost.png ] I also tried a reinstall

Did you tried to launch the game directly with Steam ? Tried to install d3dx9 with winetricks ? It's strange that you can play at this game because on Steam, the game will unlock only the 06/24/2011... : http://store.steampowered.com/app/21100/?l=english Illegal download or not, that is the question [Laughing]

Hi everyone, I recently switched to Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) GNU/Linux. I installed wine 0.9.9 using Synaptic package manager, and then downloaded steamInstall.exe from http://www.steampowered.com.

Hello, I've recently installed wine without any special modifiers, I did it through the add/remove programs on Ubuntu 9.04. Steam installed without a problem, but will not run.
