Steam + Xubuntu. help please.

Hey, I'm running xubuntu x64 and steam, When I try to open a game up.. steam breifly loads, then flashes black for half a second and than goes back to the desktop. Tested on counter strike: source and Team Fortress 2.

I am using the GFX drivers from the official repo's.

 

Not enough information.
Try running from the command line, see if you get any errors.

Hope this helps..

 

First, do not post your steam id/api in the log

Mrk

 

Segmentation fault usually indicates a bug in the code.
Looks like a bug in one of CS scripts.

Can you see what happens on line 72 in hl2.sh file?
What kind of code is executed there?

Mrk

 

Hey, thanks

snippet from hl2.sh

Code:

	fi
	STATUS=$?
done
exit $STATUS

Line 72 = "done"

 

I will be installing CS myself soon and see what gives.
Mrk

 

Ok, Thanks. It also happened on Team Fortress 2. (i only tested these 2 games)
