hmmm I can run steam still fine but it has not updated itself in a few weeks now, so not sure when these updates got in and how, but not via auto-update, unless I need to re-install/hack a newer .deb package but that is just a starter for the real download, not much more.

so far i still can get it to run on opensuse with no real issue, but as i said in another post i dont feel to positive about it being so very hardcoded against ubuntu, does not give me the security i would like to have to buy games from them, at the moment any update from valve can force a ubuntu only dependency i cant fullfill, and i wont change my os for steam.

as for your page dimko, i simply extracted the .deb with ark, ran the shell script and that was it, found it easy enough as long as you got the correct 32 bit dependencies. i do see with your vm you solve the ubuntu need .

I almost forgot about this, there been so much linux gaming news since then. Sadly it seems they won't reach it if you believe [URL='http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/1878147873/hero-u-rogue-to-redemption/']kicktraq[/URL], but it has been wrong before so fingers crossed :)

they should somehow send you these update mails or on the download page show something like "you downloaded 1.0.3"

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6241, member: 1"Well i was enjoying Mars until it hard locked my whole system, nothing should do that :/

It also won't change screen resolution.

Sigh more buggy games. Maybe i should start calling them Crash Bundles in my titles, they release them far too bloody soon every time!

had the lockup but could get out of it with a double ctrl+alt+backspace to kill X, shame its buggy, had fun time with it so far

I been playing with it under opensuse a bit and on one side I am happy, on the other side I feel a bit iffy, the whole hardcoded ubuntu12_32 in the scripts, the executable, the install directory and the ~/.steam make me feel that it is really build against ubuntu and not linux in general

Yes I know they said that from the beginning but "we" also all figured it would not last long till it runs against other distributions, and yup I got it working pretty fast but I also feel that there is no real guaranty it will work on my next opensuse release or that valve suddenly won't add some heavy dependency with unity in their next build, which they are allowed as they clearly stated ubuntu is their prime distro.

So I feel a bit iffy, with desura I know that it is not build against a specific distribution and with desurium I know I can compile it myself if I upgrade and desura won't match, so I feel comfy buying games there. For now I don't feel that same confidence with steam yet.

And yup I know it's early but I figured I share my thoughts :)

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6171, member: 1"Can't do it that way as i need to run a custom command to even get it to run - dual graphics chip :/

Liamdawe, steam is started with the steam.sh script, simply edit that script, add your command before it executes the steam binary
