Hey, I am trying to get steam/steam-gaming working on my system. I have gotten the steam client working, but fail to launch games. I will be using half-life as the game I am trying to launch for this topic as it is one that most people can get running as far as i can tell. I have a x86_64 intel i7 system with a nVidia GT218 [NVS 3100M] graphics card. I am running Fedora 13 , and distribution rpm wine version 1.3.1. I have propriatery nvidia drivers from rpmfusion, compiz is working. I have spotify working fine, sound is good. I installed steam using the methode described in: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19444 , i.e. sh winetricks corefonts allfonts tahoma gecko gecko-dbg vcrun2005 There are severall error messages appearing when i run steam, and when trying to launch half-life, but i can't make sense of them. I hope someone can hint at the issue. cheers qonf Dump: Code: $ ps aux | grep wine 5139 0.0 0.0 103204 792 pts/0 S+ 14:17 0:00 grep wine $ wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/hq/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/hq/Start\ Menu/Programs/Steam/Steam.lnk fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100 fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00004100 fixme:process:GetLogicalProcessorInformation ((nil),0x33e498): stub fixme:process:GetLogicalProcessorInformation (0x1070c00,0x33e498): stub CellID: Fetching server list from CSDS. . . fixme:process:SetProcessShutdownParameters (00000100, 00000000): partial stub. err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated.
