I recently used wine to install steam on my 17.04 system... but after installation, it does not connect to the internet, hence nothing is loading. However, it does print this error

[0623/151506:ERROR:child_process_launcher.cc(443)] Failed to launch child process

  • @DavidFoerster Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see the referenced error message in the duplicate candidate, so I can't CV :(. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jun 25 '17 at 00:06
  • @WinEunuuchs2Unix: The point of my duplicate link is to show OP how to install Steam in Wine *correctly*. If the issue persists, we can still work on that, but now we can be reasonably sure that the installation procedure was somewhat sane. – David Foerster Jun 25 '17 at 00:26
  • @DavidFoerster hopefully reinstallation the *sane* way solves the error message. In the meantime I've burned up my 20 CV's for the day and can no longer dup it. Sorry... – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jun 25 '17 at 01:06

I run my Windows version of Steam under wine with the following script

cd /home/[your-user-name]/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files (x86)"/Steam
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.steam
export WINEDEBUG=-all
nice -n 19 wine Steam.exe

Perhaps it will work for you as well.
