Hey I just wanted to let you know, I actually like the writing on your site. But I am employing Flock on a machine running version 9.10 of Ubuntu and the UI aren’t quite kosh er. Not a strong deal, I can still essentially read the articles and research for info, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of hard to use with the config I’m running. Keep up the superb work!

I should point out Nexuiz isn’t a mod of quake3 but a mod of the darkplaces(I think that’s what it was called) engine, which was built from quake 1

reason why wget http://steampowered.com/download/SteamInstall.exe isnt working cause its wrong file type, must be .msi
=> change to wget http://steampowered.com/download/SteamInstall.msi in terminal or jst go to steampowered website and download it manually

I have been trying for nearly 30 minutes to get this working, but Steam just keeps hanging up on the Update splash…it’s not showing a progress bar either.

##
I realise this is a bit late, but if you follow the instructions on wine’s page for installing steam, it seems to clear thsis up.

using wine to run internet explorer and then installing gecko (it prompts you to do this) and THEN installing steam from the MSI installer worked for me.

but i really hope you haven’t been waiting all this time for me to say that

I hate to do this again, but I am compelled to… The wget for the SteamInstall.exe didn’t work for me either. I searched “SteamInstall.exe” in google and found a different copy. This is the one I used, and for sheer convince I have linked it here.

I swear this is the last thing I need to say. I think.
…. other than The Dark Knight really was a good movie… I just watched it like hours ago. Sold out 12:01 show. It was pretty sweet.

SteamInstall.exe is here.

OH yea, I also had a problem with this site’s font archive… I found my solution by typing this into a terminal… It is ment to be run in a script, but I did it manually for fun i guess.

# Gets the required font Tahoma.ttf and places it in the correct directory
wget http://mcinroy.org/steam/tahoma.ttf
cp tahoma.ttf ~/Desktop/
cp tahoma.ttf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/

Here is that site as well

In the meantime, (in Cedega) you can untick the “Managed” option, and with most games this will work and fix this problem.

In wine, find where you can switch the window management style and choose for wine to manage it..

HTH

This was a helpful solution for me. When the window is small as it is for me running compviz and dual monitors. The problem I had was cs was opening in a 800 x 600 window, and there was no option to change it in steam.

The solution is to go to wine and let it manage it’s self… I also messed with the default wine window size so it would take up the whole screen (one face of my right cube.

Here is the forum url where I found my answer.

I wasn’t able to extract the fonts from the archive into my fonts folder. Ubuntu told me archive type not supported.

Ive been able to launch Counter-Strike: Source, but then the game just closes down after I see the Menu background image. Any ideas why?
