This problem is on PC running Lubuntu 13.10
Wine was installed with "sudo apt-get install wine"
Steam was installed through winetricks.

Screen shows window "Connecting Steam account xxxxxx" then window vanishes and wine hangs.

Same installation of a different computer runing Ubuntu 13.04 has no issues and runs as expected.

I'm experiencing similar problems after updating wine and steam today.

rolling back to previously-working version of wine didn't help

Must be problem with Steam, which just updated today. blergh.

[oiaohm]

ally82 wine --version please. I have reason to suspect you are running a no longer supported version of wine. That would also explain steam failure.

[BlackDalek]

In my case, the working computer is wine version 1.6 on Ubuntu 13.04
The computer with issues is running wine version 1.7 on Lubuntu 13.10

[oiaohm]

BlackDalek 1.7 is not a full version number. "wine --version" in terminal. Sorry to say we don't trust package managers. We sometimes have other issues. Like 1.7.0 and 1.7.7 are tested as working. Everything in the middle who knows.

Hmm I wonder.

~$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/username/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam" wine C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe /Unix /home/username/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/Steam.lnk

This has to be the most horible way ever.
env WINEPREFIX="/home/username/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam" wine start c:\\\\users\\\\Public\\\\Desktop\\\\Steam.lnk This is still horible.

Also I don't know where the idea of placing wineprefixes in .local is coming from but is in fact a really bad idea. .local is where your linux equal start menu alterations is stored and error with windows manager you might be waiting forever if it searches you prefixes. There is a ~/.config directory for a reason.

Do try cd to where steam.exe is and wine running steam.exe directly. It could be a case that something is going really strange in a .lnk file.

Finally

Files\Steam\steam.exe: ../../../../../../../src/mesa/drivers/dri/nouveau/nv04_state_fb.c:45: get_rt_format: Assertion `0' failed.

BlackDalek

Open source Nvidia drivers are not support with wine and steam. Yes there was a reason why I was ignoring you. I had got sick of answering people with video card driver issues for a little bit.

[BlackDalek]

Hmm I wonder.

~$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/username/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam" wine C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe /Unix /home/username/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/Steam.lnk

This has to be the most horible way ever.
env WINEPREFIX="/home/username/.local/share/wineprefixes/steam" wine start c:\\\\users\\\\Public\\\\Desktop\\\\Steam.lnk This is still horible.

There is a ~/.config directory for a reason.

That's just the command from the (automatically generated) desktop shortcut, pasted into a terminal
Placing the wineprefixes in .local is something winetricks does automatically apparently. I had no input into where it installs components.

[dimesio]

Placing the wineprefixes in .local is something winetricks does automatically apparently.

You can override that with the --no-isolate option.

[BlackDalek]

I've decided to have another go at getting this working.

Same computer, same set up as before.
This time fresh install of Wine 1.6.1

Results are still the same - hangs after steam logs in.

Where do I enter the "--no-isolate" option?

[dimesio]

This time fresh install of Wine 1.6.1

Upgrade Wine. Current Steam will not work with any version older than 1.7.8.
