I like to use the Big Picture mode in Steam for Linux, and it happens that sometimes the application becomes unresponsive and eventually crashes.

I am using Kubuntu 12.10 64bits on a Samsung Series 9 laptop.

I have this problem in Big Picture after I start a game. I tested it with The Cave and Bastion. Shortly after starting the game, steam will crash completely.

Don't know where everyone is, but solved mine with sound driver. Not update, Disable apu or duplicate sound driver, like a dream now. Sometimes less is better than more. Man who farts in church sits in pew...confucious.

@pc-dr you could just condense those to one single post instead of three.

Ggdrewb-valve maintainer 2013-08-16 github

Is this still happening?

Jjankeromnes 2013-08-16 github

Not able to check right now but let's assume it's been fixed. Will reopen or file new bugs if not.

Nothing extracted yet.
