Running ubuntu 12.10 with the *.10 Nvidia drivers. I found this closed thread: #76 This is my issue. Steam started, updated, and now won't start. it throws the error: Fatal error: Steam failed to load: *SteamStartEngine(0xffbb2f40) failed with error 1 CMultiFieldBlob(pSerialized): Partial field header at end of record. The thread shown above says to delete ClientRegistry.blob... but I can't find that file to delete it. Searching my file system comes up empty. I was a Windows network admin for 14 years, but I'm a linux newbie and could use some advice. Thanks... |

Steam stores its files inside a hidden directory ~/.local/share/Steam/ unless you have picked a different location for it. ~ is a shortcut to mean the user’s home dir, which should be /home/username/ As such you’ll need to open the file browser, show hidden files, locate .local, and follow that up into Steam and the registry blob will be inside :) Please confirm if this fixes the issue for you. |

I hate feeling like a newbie, but that worked perfectly. Thanks! I'm excited to report I'm downloading Half Life now. |

Yesterday, I was ready to turn off my laptop and suddenly Steam started updating. I had to go, so I clicked 'Cancel' and it stopped updating like it always does. Today, I tried playing Portal and it would'nt open. I tried opening Steam and that wouldn't work, either. Finally, I uninstalled it via the Software Center and installed it once more. I tried opening Portal, and then Steam. It wouldn't work. I restarted my coputer and tried again. Still wouldn't work. Pleas help, I have a lot of games on Steam and I really don't want to lose them or my saves. Im running on 13.10. Please help!
