    Tying to install Steam, please help!

    Hi everyone,

    I've finished installing steam, but when I start it, a window pops up saying Steam - updating. Checking for Steam updates... It has been like this for more than 30 minutes and I'm not sure what is wrong. I am using Ubunutu 8.04 LTS, with wine version 0.9.59.

    Thanks!

    I have steam working fine here (Ubuntu 8.04), I'm using the latest version of wine to do this.

    You can use winehq's repository to always have the latest version of wine - get it here:
    http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb

    If using the latest version of wine doesn't help you to install steam, have a look here:
    http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=1554

    If you're unsure if steam has locked up, go to: System --> Administration --> System Monitor
    Then click on the Resources tab, and check to see if your PC is receiving lots of data (it could be steam trying to update itself).
    Work smart, not hard.
