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. I downloaded it through their website and opened the file through wine/winetricks and it will update and log in to my account, but once it logs in it just closes. No ghost window, update tab or anything. I've uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times and I don't know exactly what is going on with it. I have the beta version of wine if that makes a difference. I could always try the "stable" version. Any help would be great : )

Just make sure you install it correctly: Code: winetricks steam or get the dependencies manually first and install manually: Code: winetricks corefonts allfonts tahoma cd ~/Downloads wine msiexec -i /Steaminstaller.msi Please also note that winetricks will setup the Steam client in it's own WINEPREFIX (~/.share/winprefixes/steam - I think from memory) - this will cause problems if you don't have that environment variable set properly and try to launch the Steam client manually from the commandline. Some info on there is a bit out of date (I haven't had time to update it). With Wine 1.3.22(+) almost all of the client features work (including - I've been informed - in-client game purchases). I haven't tested the game overlay/chat features (but I gather this does work for some folks - dependent on their GPU and drivers I guess). I think the microphone input for Steam chat maybe a bit broken... Bob
