Nevermind, I see - you need a password for the Linux beta in this case.

What a sad sad day...

Dammit, I can't launch KF, it doesn't have the binaries.

And I hoped I'd be able to play it without crashing...

Quoting: "Bumadar, post: 6175, member: 93"Liamdawe, steam is started with the steam.sh script, simply edit that script, add your command before it executes the steam binary

Hmm which line to edit?

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6173, member: 1"I guess it's time to install Unity then...

Maybe you can set how will the links be launched from Firefox? Check about:config, I think you could pop optirun before it.

Also, I love Unity!

Place steam icon to unity bar. Right click , Marketplace. Now switch to library. No popup. Download a game. Try gaming.
I am downloading Killing floor now

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6169, member: 1"So any easy ways to skip past the your not in beta popup anyone?

As I said, Kame was right, use his idea from page 2 :D

You'll need to everytime you start Steam.

Btw., anyone able to install TF2? It's supposed to be part of the beta, but I can't get it to download either via browser or anything else.

Well then, get on with it and download some games!

I still have 13 minutes left for KF and the speed sometimes dips really low.

for us none .deb users:

open .deb with ark
open data.tar.gz
extract the bootstraplinux_ubuntu12_32 file to directory named Steam (where you please)
execute ./steam.sh
it will update and you will end up with the inlog screen
enter login, it will see your on a new pc, get code from your email, enter it and your in :)

no other dependencies or root needed, there are some gtk errors, but that is why its beta

by the look of the directory structure they seem to go for builds per distro_version, but as long as your close enough with the libraries there should be little problem.

That doesn't work though, I tried and I can't get it to download. I'll have KF down in a couple of minutes and World of Goo is working fine, along with the overlay!

I'm disappointed with the lack of Team Fortress right now, I hoped it'd work.

Can't wait to get home and start downloading TF2!

Apparently, there's a badge for this.

Also: http://i.imgur.com/sjoDC.jpg, http://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/12qs6z/steam_for_linux_its_here_deb_in_the_link/c6xdfd6
They already got it. Apparently, there's also a badge for this, so it's easy to tell if you know someone in there.

And someone in the thread is claiming it's easy to bypass the check. Anyone care to share? ;)

You install the deb and then it pulls the rest from the servers into your home directory.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6157, member: 1".deb means you need to usually install as root, but it can then do what it wants from there remember.

yup, why I like installing games and such as user :) was just wondering.

.deb means you need to install as root, never used ubuntu so correct me if I am wrong ? so not like desura where its a local/user install ?

Three times the Humble regulars. I wonder what will be the numbers once it's completely out.

Some ugly things - doesn't adhere to XDG specs, so instead of being under ~/.local/share/. it's right under ~/. Well, that's a small one. Another is the directory to which all Steam games are installed is ~/Steam, which is something I'd rather stay invisible (perhaps again under XDG_DATA_HOME).

Over 60,000 people wanted the beta, that's a lot of customers on Linux!

@Kame: Doesn't work, doesn't do anything yet, just opens Steam which then turns off.

Also, no beta for me... come on Valve, you need more than 1000 people! At least 1001!

What was that, Liam? I can't hear you over my [URL='http://i.minus.com/iDA0tBsABV6VQ.png']Steam[/URL]. :D

All that aside, I won't to play TF2 natively!

Seems you may be able to try and play/download games without being in the beta. Install the Steam client, go to the steam website, go to a Lnux game you own, and hit the play button and tell it to launch! Can't see if it actually downloads the Linux version right now (at work), but it might!

Liam: That sucks :(
