My computer recently died, and when it was repaired, had its main partition completely blanked. I got Ubuntu 10.10 for it, and it has worked great. I use Wine as an emulator so I can still run some of my games, but I am having some annoying issues with running steam. At first, steam would always close itself whenever it finished logging in. I later realised this was caused by the update news, and managed to disable it. Now, I can access my library tab and friends list, but If I go to any other tab, steam closes. Also, if I try to install a game that requires me to accept an eula, it closes when it tries to load it. I suspect that steam is having issues getting information from the steam servers, since it closes for anything like that. I read somewhere that steam needs something called gecko to run properly, but that should have been done when I configured wine for the first time.
I am really stumped here. What does steam need to run things like the store tab, community tab, update news, and related things?
