How can I install and run  on Ubuntu?

[SOLVED] I managed to fix the issue by uninstalling the proprietary AMD drivers, rebooting, starting Steam letting it update, reinstalling AMD drivers, reboot. It seems to be working and I can now play all my Steam linux games. I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 64bit on my main PC. I also installed Steam (.deb from ). The install went without errors. On running Steam, nothing happens. I run Steam from the terminal and receive two segmentation faults, always occurring on different lines of Steam.sh when I run Steam: /home/samathy/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 755: 11111 Segmentation fault   /home/samathy/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 755: 11239 Segmentation fault   The rest of the output on the terminal is just dump-saving text. I can't see anything about GLX issues, or locale issues (they seem to be popular issues with steam) I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 64bit with Xubuntu (installed after the Ubuntu install.) My specs are as follows: AMD FX 6350. AMD HD7870 (With AMD proprietary beta drivers) 12GB DDR3 Samsung 840 EVO 120GB. This problem is a little weird to me because Steam runs fine on my Ubuntu 13.10 + Xubuntu-desktop, Intel Atom N270 netbook without any fiddling, I can even run games. I've googled a lot and only really found solutions to other steam issues, not my own. If anyone could help, that'd be wonderful. Thanks! edit: I should mention that I've tried doing ~$steam --reset  It does not produce errors its self, but also doesnt solve the problem either. I have also tried installing Steam from Ubuntu package manage, but that results in the same errors.

I want to buy a new notebook in the near future to play games on it. I'm looking forward for the new Steam for Linux client. My question is that where does the Steam install the games, on the home partition, or in the usr folder, or somewhere else? I do not use pre-release (i.e. beta) versions of either Steam or Ubuntu.

A couple of days ago my mother asked me to set up a computer at her house, she wants to use it to basic web browsing, video chat and nothing more.  The problem is, neither my mother nor my sister know anything about using or maintaining a computer.  What I want is to have a working base install of windows 7 and just discard everything installed, downloaded, ... when it reboots. That way I can set up a partition just for saving files and whatever they do the computer will always return to a working state at start up.  can that be done?  PS: Sadly linux is not an option since my sister wants to be able to play some games with my steam account and not all of them run with wine.

I had question to ask, and is if there is a way to set steam games (more specifically the games themselves, that shows up as launchers or releases; example: payday2_release) in high priority permanently, or at least to set it on high priority every time i launch the game without having to manually open the system monitor.

I am currently using Ubuntu 14.10. Steam is showing up in the Ubuntu Software Center, but when I click on it it says:      Not found   There isn't a software package called "steam" in your current software sources.         Is there a fix for this? Am I the only one having this problem?

I'm trying to install steam games onto my Data partition (NTFS formatted since I use that partition as a bridge for the few times I have to use windows).  I do not want it in my home folder since it is starting to get a bit full (I only have 16 gb of space left)  I tried  but apparently that doesn't work anymore.  I tried setting the library folder on the Data partition but I just get the response: "New Steam library folder must be on a filesystem mounted with execute permissions."  I usually mount my Data partition using the launcher mount option unity brings with it (just click on the drive on the side bar). I don't really want to change that.  So how can I mount my drives with executive permissions using the launcher icons??

I'm brand new to Linux. I just installed Ubuntu as a dual boot system on my HP Pavilion laptop.  Where should I start? I've tried to play around with Terminal over the last hour or so, but I'm probably not helping myself out. Any suggestions are welcome!
