Maybe I should create a few accounts...

Anyway. Upgraded my Linux Machine only to find out I don't have enough diskspace.. sigh

Now I am using a Live-USB Ubuntu on my main computer, only to find out I have the same problem, as adding another Library Folder to Steam does not seem to work (is ignored). I then created a new file system within a file on a Windows partition and mounted that at the place where Steam stores it's Apps.

I am installing TF2 as I write this and am at 20% of the download and the download rate has just dropped from 2.3 MB/s to 150 KB/s :-(
I expect (graphics) driver issues once that's done of course...

Do you know if I need to install the binary driver for my ATI 6950?

Whoo, ATI drivers for Linux I have absolutely no experience with, but I should mention that you can copy over the GCFs, I think you can find some guides online.

Do you have ads on TF2OP?

Apparently trying to use libc-2.15 with Ubuntu before 12.04 opens a whole new world of pain.
So I'm upgrading now, was about time anyway.
I can see you have the Tux already in your BP. Thought I read somewhere it should be tradable? Oh well, crated the 100 Steam Accounts for nothing, I guess (just kidding)

I don't think the ear-buds were tradable for the tine when they dropped, either. Gabe's talk about the TF2 economy (steam economy?) at DICE is probably relevant, I think he mentioned earbuds.

I knew it. Of course it's not working on my existing Ubuntu 11.10 for some reason.
Steam installs fine but nothing happens when run.
Not sure if I should try and find out why or just fire up a Live-USB with 12.10. Either way, it will have to wait 'till tomorrow.

I've been in the S4L beta, I'm pretty sure I've encountered and solved almost every possible problem. Open terminal, type

But seriously, yay, my Ubuntu should be ready to go... I hope

After all that time testing Steam for Linux beta, it's now finally the day, time to get my item...

/me is very sad that he cannot express himself in the third preson

Hm, hm.

I have to agree that though it makes less trouble for the admins, I don't like the encroachment on users' freedoms, TF2OP is a hub for trading as much as it is a platform for trades.

I am going to think about this, thanks for bringing this up.

Well, that is interesting Uranium235, I must investigate later. It may be that the /me function is still in the protocol, but disabled in normal clients; the vapor client for steam could do this if this is true.

Okay, try clearing your cache and loading the page, I know it's something to to with locale, but I can't for the life of me explain what.
