Steam (HL2) locks up on 64 bit Ubuntu

[TheDruidsKeeper]

Yesterday I downloaded and installed the latest version of Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, and after setting up my hardware I installed Wine 1.1.12, and have been working on getting HL2 running, but with little/no success. I got Steam installed, but when it opens none of the HTML pages render (saying "HTML is currently disabled."), and when I go to the My Games tab to have it download any of the games, as soon as I hit the install button the app locks up, choking down system resources until I kill it.

Here is the debug information from when I start the app, I can't figure out what the class objects are that I am missing:

Code: Select all

$ WINEDEBUG="fixme-all" wine "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe"
CellID: Fetching server list from CSDS. . .
CellID: CSDS returned 243 servers.
CellID: Connecting to 196.38.180.3:27031. . .

CellID: Connect to 203.77.185.2:27031 took 164 MS
CellID: Nothing beat our old best time of 62 MS

And then as soon as I hit the install link for any of the games, these last two lines are output:

Code: Select all

err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} could be created for context 0x1

Hopefully someone can help me with this because my brain is about fried with all the research I have been doing. Thanks in advance.

I did follow the How-to. I have Gecko installed via winetricks and everything, but still get get it to run. Any other suggestions?

I have Gecko installed via winetricks

Unless you got new winetricks (I mean just downloaded one) that won't work. Wine-Gecko was upgraded 2 weeks ago.

I do have the new winetricks. This is a completely fresh system with the latest of everything.

Then don't use winetricks. Use 'wine iexplore http://winehq.org' command and click "install" when asked to.

I tried that first but I don't get prompted to install anything. I just get the unable to load mozilla error.

As another note, there seems to 3 separate problems occurring here:

First is class {4590f811-1d3a-11d0-891f-00aa004b2e24} not registered. I have no idea what dll this is from.

Second, Mozilla is not loading. I can live with that as long as I can get the game going, but this doesnt seem to be a result of the missing class since when I wine iexplore it does not give any errors (except for saying that it could not load Mozilla).

Finally, class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} is not registered. I'm thinking that this is the main problem, and the GUID is mentioned on http://wiki.winehq.org/LookupUuidTable , but no dll is specified for it. I did some research on that, and if I am not mistaken (which it is very likely that I am), this Game Explorer is either microsoft's GameuxInstallerHelper.dll http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... S.85).aspx , or steams gameux.dll. I tried putting both of those files into sys32 & into the Steam dir's, but with no change in results.

Completely reinstall Steam following HOW-TO (it will preserve all your games). Only this time don't use winetricks.

Tried that too, verbatim. Also tried doing it by following the "easy" way here http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit , both with and without winetricks. Still no dice.

- I did it each time blowing away everything since so far the only thing I am trying to get working is Steam.

I'm not buying this unless you using the wine-1.1.12 release (which is broken).
Just try one simple thing which should work:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-test wine iexplore http://winehq.org

If this won't ask you to install wine-gecko, then your Wine is really broken. You should either revert back to wine-1.1.11 or use current GIT version or wait for wine-1.1.13 (due to be out this Friday).

I AM using wine 1.1.12:

Code: Select all

$ wine --version
wine-1.1.12

is that the problem, just a bad release?


Here is what you said to run:

It didn't prompt me to install anything. I would be willing to revert to 1.1.11 or wait for 1.1.13, or try anything over again. Whatever you recommend.

As I was looking for where to get the older release from I made the discovery that 1.0.1 is the current stable release... Apparently when I had followed the instructions on http://www.winehq.org/download/deb i skipped right over this part:

Ubuntu has its own repository of software that includes Wine

and I had added the dev repository to my source list as instructed, which is why every way I tried it I was always installing the latest dev version.

Anyway, now with version 1.0.1 I was able to pull up www.winehq.org without any trouble
.. now on to test Steam.

Bummer..

Installed and ran Steam with pretty much the same results as before, minus the internet pages not working:

When I try to install any of the games on my list it gives those last two errors and freezes. :-/

I hosted the latest crash dump file here in case someone happens to have steams pdp files, or is good at OllyDbg:

I've got the same issue.

No idea what the problem is.

I never did find a way to fix it, hopefully you are more lucky than I am. If you do find a way be sure to post the fix here.
