wine users - Dec 2010 - Steam installs and runs fine on POL, but not Wine ?

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.

Steam on Wine, was able to run it's own autoupdate, but after that refuses
to start =/


Here is the output when run from a terminal, 


Code:
$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wine" wine C:\\Program\ Files\
\(x86\)\\Steam\\Steam.exe
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err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure
that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path.
err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of
your distribution.
fixme:urlmon:CoInternetSetFeatureEnabled 5, 0x00000002, 1, stub
fixme:urlmon:CoInternetSetFeatureEnabled 10, 0x00000002, 1, stub
CellID: CSDS returned 175 servers.
CellID: Connecting to 79.141.161.2:27031. . .
CellID: Connect to 79.141.161.2:27031 took 164 MS
CellID: Nothing beat our old best time of 17 MS



When running from terminal on the laptop with POL, the only messages I see are
for the "CellID"s

I tried installing the samba-winbind-clients package (both x84_64 and i686), but
no luck... any ideas?

Ok, got it!


So, the Winbind was probably useless, but inorder to get everything to work *YOU
WILL NEED* to run the Wine Tricks script to pull down all the necessary
dependices.


Below is taken from
"http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19444"

Download winetricks by running the following code in terminal :-

wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks

Now we need to install some winetricks packages to get STEAM running properly.
Run the code below in a Terminal :-

sh winetricks corefonts allfonts tahoma gecko gecko-dbg vcrun2005

ENJOY!

And here is your problem.  Install the winbind package for your distribution,
like it says.

This will not fix the problem.  The NATIVE version of winbind needs to be
installed, not the SAMBA version.

Yes.  However, Gecko should be installed the first time you run Wine, or 
has this changed?  (Asking list.)

I build Wine with Gecko already to go...

Actually, only the *fonts packages are needed if you want to browse the Store
page in the Steam client (else Wine crashes). Gecko is surely not required for
the current Steam to work. Neither the vcrun2005 runtime libraries (although
some of your games may require the vcrun* libraries to start).
