  • Info.plist and steam.icns from MacOS X distribution didn't help.

    Comment


    • I don't think that the Info.plist file is required for the Linux version - as far as i know, those "Information Property List Files" are only common in Max OSX Applications.

      • How did you get past the steamui.so issue?

          I've figured out how to bypass the steamui.so issue but, even with no errors after running the steam.sh nothing loads.

          First make a new file called "steam.cfg" under the same directory as "steam.sh". Edit it and add:
          Code:
          Universe = store.steampowered.com/public/client/steam_linux_client
          It is important that you DO NOT put "http://" in front of the link or the binary will be unable to create the directory structure.

          Next I modified the steam.sh and renamed it to mod-steam.sh because if you run it, it will get updated and erase the changes.

          What I added is in RED.

          Code:
          elif [ "$UNAME" == "Linux" ]; then
             PLATFORM=linux32
             # prepend our lib path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
             export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${STEAMROOT}"/${PLATFORM}:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
             [COLOR="Red"]export LD_PRELOAD="${STEAMROOT}/${PLATFORM}/steamui.so"[/COLOR]
          fi
          YMMV. Good luck!

            • The final and public release of the Mac client will be on May, the 12th btw.

              • Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.


                That's what I am getting at this point. I've tried running with a variety of different standard Steam command line parameters, but they seem to have no effect.
