  • i have a problem - the whole process of downloading the software and the setup process works fine. The only problem i have is that when i log in, it says its connecting and then gives me an error message saying it cannot connect to the internet. I know that i am connected as im using ethernet and i have firefox open with it all working. I also tried to run the program in wine and it also gave me the same error. If you know what i am doing wrong, then please message me back. thanks 4 any feedback

  • @IDowdow Sometimes, if you are using wicd, it will do this. If so, uninstall it and install the networkmanager (or network-manager, i forgot) package and use that. If that doesn't fix it, it must be because you are using ethernet. (Sorry, I don't have much experience with wired connections.)

  • In my playonlinux i don't have the steam: counter strike source can you tell me why?

  • @marko90945 In terminal, run:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

  • can i ask in what linux is better than windows on a pc? is it possible to install it as second os also on a mac?

  • @NewYorkPixels Performance wise, I think that linux IS faster than win UNLESS you are playing win games or you don't have a good graphics card, then it is slow. I personally like linux better, but i have Win7 installed for games and just in case the bootloader gets trashed, like it did. And, it is possible to install it over MacOSX or on a new partition. I'm not sure how to config the partitions, though. Lastly, i doubt you can change the BIOS on mac, so install bootloader on the primary drive.

see all

  • @CrazyMan42DABOMB thanks for the feedback, it seems installing it about 5 times has finally got it to work. I also now have win7 in a dual boot so i also use default steam on that now :)

  • F*ck the system! Vavle dont want to make steam for linux, emulate it!

  • @SuppleBrony Yep! No problem. You can just ask if you want any more videos like this.
