Oct 10, 2010I recently powered up my netbook... Selected my user log in, entered my password, and after a couple seconds I briefly see what looks to be the console and am returned to the login splash screen... I can Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to the console and log in... but that is as far as I can get. This is the case for Gnome, Remix, and Remix 2D.
I can sudo apt-get (update, upgrade, etc) as well. It is the right password because if I type in a wrong one it presents an authentication failure dialog box.
How can I fix my log in screen and get to my desktop? I am Currently running 10.04.... waiting to get 10.10

Ubuntu :: Can't Get Steam Games To Run Right
Jan 4, 2010I 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.

Jan 29, 2010I 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 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Running Steam Via Wine?
Mar 19, 2010First 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian Hardware :: Unable To Login To IMac G4 - Graphical Login?
Sep 30, 2015I have an iMac G4 that I installed Jessie on successfully. However, when it boots, one of the last messages is:
[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
Last line is something along the lines of:
fb: switching to nouveaufb from OFfb NVDA,NVMac
And then the text starts dissolving, and the entire screen cycles through different colors. I presume it is sitting at the graphical login prompt but it's not displaying correctly.
Based on some Google searches, it seems like I should be able to resolve this by editing /etc/modules but I can't get to that point. I have tried to get to a terminal using ctrl-alt-F1 through ctrl-alt-F12. No luck. I tried different yaboot options that were supposed to avoid using the video driver. No luck. How do I get the machine to boot straight to a regular text login instead of the X one?
This machine worked fine running Mac OS X this morning, so I don't think it's the hardware. What I can do.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Steam Video Of The Desktop Live?
Jun 28, 2010I'd like to do a live video streaming session later in the week (ie - people see what I do on the desktop and hear me yap in the mic). 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 RelatedUbuntu :: Using Steam Inside WINE Load Time?
Sep 19, 2010I'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.

Jun 25, 2015I just installed Steam on my Linux machine tonite, following this guide [URL] ....
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).
Debian :: Steam Repo Install Completely Wrecks System
Aug 20, 2015I'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...
Debian Multimedia :: Jessie 64-bit Steam Crashing With AMD Fglrx Drivers
Sep 24, 2015I recently switched over to Debian 8 "Jessie" (64-bit Cinnamon flavor) on my Desktop.
250GB SSD
16 GB DDR3 RAM
i7 4790 Processor
AMD Radeon R9 280X
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)
Red Hat :: Unable To Login From Console F1 To F6. But Able To Login Into GUI In F7?
Apr 21, 2010I am using rhel 5.3. I am using windows 2003 server 32-bit (the processor is 64 bit. AMD athlon x2). I have installed vmware and installed rhel5.3 64 bit on top of it. Now i am able to login as root from GUI mode (f7 console), but unable to login in text console from f1 to f6. I checked the /etc/securetty. But there was nothing unusual there. I think udev is causing this problem, since google said so. I cant find where the udev.rules file is located that google searches are taking about. How do i enable root login in f1-6 console.

Feb 7, 2010I have used Ubuntu 9.10 for a few months. I like it because it seems faster than Windows XP or Vista. Nevertheless, it has happened many times that I couldn't log in Ubuntu after an update. I thus had to uninstall Ubuntu from Windows and reinstall a clean copy of Ubuntu again.
1. Is this common to you guys or just me alone?
2. What are the causes?
3.Does Wubi play a role in causing this login problem since I install Ubuntu thru Wubi?
4. What are other solutions in solvng this login problem?

Ubuntu :: Unable To Login / What Is Going Wrong?
Jun 25, 2010I am running Ubuntu 10.04 from an external hard drive. I am able to get to the GUI login and enter the correct user/password combination. However, one I push enter it cuts away to a blank screen then returns to the login screen as if nothing happened. This doesn't happen if I log in without GUI (using alt+ctrl+f1 (or any other function key but 7).
Can someone tell me what is going wrong? I am still able to access my files from the hard drive by booting from a live CD if that matters at all.

Apr 10, 2011Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 as a dual boot on a Windows Vista laptop. Usually when I've installed Ubuntu on other machines it's asked me to set a user name and password. In this instance, it's automatically taken the same user name as is used to login on Windows.When I try and log in on Ubuntu, it comes up with th user name from Windows, busks for a password. On Windows, there's no password set, so I don't know what to put.I've tried things like 'password' and 'Password' and the likes. I also tried going onWindows and adding a password there to see if Ubuntu would find it, but no such luck.
