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.
Running ubuntu 12.10 with the *.10 Nvidia drivers.
I found this closed thread: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/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...
