I am having a bit of a problem with Wine as I cannot remove any of the programs that I have installed in it, namely Steam. Even if I try to uninstall wine via "sudo apt-get remove wine" I can still navigate to Steam through Applications - Wine - Programs - Steam. I don't know what to do. I've even tried the "Uninstall Wine Software" option to get rid of Steam but that has also failed.
View 3 RepliesI updated steam and it no longer works. When I tried to load it up Wine comes up and then closes. Im pretty sure this has to deal with the new steam interface. But Im not entirely sure. So I would like to know if any one is having issues currently?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just made the switch from windows xp and i am very glad i did. One problem though, I cant get steam games to run right. I have steam installed on an external hard drive and can start it up with wine but whenever i try to run a game, the "starting (game name here)" screen comes up and then disappears and the game doesn't open. I've tried several different tutorials on how to run steam but all they do is tell how to install it.I'm running ubuntu 9.10 x64 if that helps at all.

View 7 Replies View RelatedFirst post, and I apologize if it's already been covered and/or I put this in the wrong section, but I couldn't find anything quite like what I was looking for. Basically, I have been running Ubuntu on my backup machines for near a year now and I LOVE it. I want to move my main machine over to Ubuntu as well but there is one thing standing in my way: namely, my Steam collection.
I've seen on several websites and forum threads that Steam and its games run fairly well through Wine, but I've never used Wine before and am kind of nervous about setting this all up. My question is, is there any tutorial available that can walk me through getting steam working through Wine without issues? I've gotten fairly used to linux at this point, so I'm not afraid of the shell, I'm just looking for a little guidance. Also, a side question: I play Garry's Mod all the time, which I could see having lot of potential problems running on linux due to all the addons and stuff. Have any of you ever played Gmod on Ubuntu before? And if so does it work ok with most of the addons?
Will Steam work with the newest version with Ubuntu 11.04?

Can anyone recommend a reliable setup to do this? Most sites require some Flash thing which isn't available on Ubuntu. I tried webcamstudio a while back and that seems to have a huge (5s+ delay).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using wine to run steam and play Star Wars Battlefront 2. The reason I'm doing this is because it actually is bugged and doesn't work with XP like its supposed to, but surprise, it works in linux! It works flawless and beautifully with one exception. When loading missions the game takes 5-10 min to load. I have a great PC when compared to the days this game was written in. AMD dual-core processor with an Nvidia 9800 series video card etc. but it just takes a long time to load the maps and mission parameters I guess. Any one know where the information might be getting hung up and how I might be able to streamline it a little?
I know I've seen a few posts about wine and people usually remind the posters that this is an ubuntu forum, not a wine forum, but I was hoping someone with more computer knowledge than me might be able to give me a simple reason for this issue. Feel free to point me some where else to post about this.
Freshly installed and updated Ubuntu 10, the first thing I did was install Wine and the second was installed Steam under Wine. Steam will run, but the moment it opens, xorg's CPU usage jumps to around 70% and stays there. Graphics card is an old ATI Radeon 9600 pro.

I just installed Ubuntu to dual boot with my Win 7 and I want to fix the user permissions so i can install STEAM so then I can game and install other windows applications. So i tried to install steam with wine installed and i get this error message..The file '/tmp/SteamInstall.msi' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.
Can some one please help me with installing Steam and other windows applications correctly?Also I already tried to fix it with terminal code that still didnt fix it.
I have a problem every time I start steam trough wine SELinux is blocking it can I switch off SELinux or do something so steam can start. I have already tried to ignore it and that doesnt work does someone know how to fix this.

When I try to get the client going, it just connects to my account, checks for updates, verifyies data, and then starts over. It will keep doing that until I end the program, and never opens so I have access to my games.
I don't know if it is useful or not, but here is a picture I took of terminal I ran steam from (I don't know how to do a screen capture in linux).
I cannot uninstall Firefox, nor can I uninstall Chromium; one always stays if the other is uninstalled. For example, if I remove Firefox, Chromium will appear in its place and vice versa. This has got to be one of the weirdest bugs I've ever seen on Ubuntu! So, how can I uninstall both web browsers?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been carefully installing and personalizing a Debian 8 "Jessie" 64-bit install on my laptop for the last few days. Played some games, did some downloading and stuff and decided to want to run steam again, as I have done on many Ubuntu installs in the past.
So I followed this guide: [URL] ....
and of course, I read the warnings: Only do this on Jessie or SID, not on Wheezy. So I was in the clear. I thought.
After giving 'aptitude install steam' all hell broke loose. The script starting demolishing/removing almost everything under the KDE shell. Wireless network, apps, even the ability to reboot the system from the GUI were utterly and completely destroyed. After the script ended I had to reboot the system through an alternate CLI shell only to discover X was complete gone.
So I don't think there is anything else I can do now except re-installing the complete system? Bye bye Wesnoth saved games, downloads, etcetera...
I recently switched over to Debian 8 "Jessie" (64-bit Cinnamon flavor) on my Desktop.

I have been able to play multiple games on Steam without any issues, however I have downloaded Ark: Survival Evolved and am unable to actually play that game in particular. I can log in and get to a point of choosing a server, but after it actually loads to the game(where it starts rendering graphics), the game crashes to the desktop. Below is the readout of the crash from when I loaded Steam via Terminal.
Code: Select all
Signal 11 caught.
ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/lukasz/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/lukasz/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
[Code] ....
I have noticed that the above (zenity:13343): Gtk-WARNING line in terminal is the point at which the game crashes. It would appear that the steam gameoverlayrenderer.so is a separate issue and may be a common occurence in the background that you just don't see.(?)
Things that I have done thus far:
-Verified that the video card is good
-Tried Open-source graphics drivers
-Currently using the AMD 15.9 Proprietary Drivers directly from AMD with Catalyst Control Center.
-Reinstalled "zenity" to ensure that it was not corrupted.
-Verified which Gtk+ versions that I have installed(see below)
Code: Select all
lukasz@Lukasz-Desktop:~$ pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 gtk+-3.0
2.24.25
3.14.5
Is there a "default" gtk+ version that I have to alter for it to recognize that I have Gtk+ 3.0 installed, or did I miss something somewhere?
My hypothesis:
-It has something to do with 32-bit/64-bit conflictions(Maybe the game? My steam is 64-bit)
-My graphics card may not be supported by Ark: Survival Evolved yet.
-I am missing some libraries each time I have attempted different video drivers.
-Something with steam did not get installed correctly(I have not attempted to uninstall and reinstall it, however other games function correctly)
I have been searching through the web trying to find a way to install (mount?) and format a used 80G HD.I have installed GParted and it makes no sense to me. None of the tutorials on ..... have been helpful either (except to get me frustrated) I want to learn Linux and use it for my main os but, having these troubles makes it difficult.
View 2 Replies View Relatedthe upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 has proved to be an unmitigated disaster for my netbook. I have no menus! Nothing at the top (i.e. the usual Gnome desktop with "Browse and run installed applications," "Applications," "Places," "System") and no Unity buttons available wherever I put the cursor.Plus, when the system goes to sleep and I press the power button to revive it, it reboots! I don't understand how v. 11.04 is an improvement over v. 10.10.
how I can uninstall v 11.04 -- bearing in mind I have no menus -- so I can reinstall v. 10.10?
