Usually, my own thoughts are the only ones that matter to me. The exception is the rare occasion when I actually create a post or comment asking a question. That’s when I want to know about what you think. Otherwise, buzz off.

  • Yeah, the glaring “permissions denied” is right smack in the middle of all that. Then it just continues like that to the very end. One thing that makes no sense to me: manually changing the permissions on every single game. I’m a basic Linux boy and I do basic things, so don’t do what I’d do. What I’d try doing: changing the permissions in the .steam folder to the correct permissions, applying them to all the enclosed files and folders. I’d even have the stones to do it in the graphical UI left clicking on the .steam folder out of sheer basic laziness. My solution is totally basic and dumb, because it does not foresee new games being acquired through steam, which could revert back to the erroneous permissions. I searched for the error message to see what is relevant, nobody is reporting this problem, so, you’re unique. What a way to feel special, right? I’ll keep looking shit up like you’re doing. While we’re busy with that, someone more competent will come to your rescue, for sure.


  • If you could show an error message in the terminal either I or another person could help you. I’m guessing you’ve already searched the internet for a solution since you went through the painful process of re-installing the whole nine. What a marathon you’re running! Anyway, to run steam game in the terminal, you have to know the game id, which is a long number. If I’m correct (someone, if this is wrong, please correct me!), you would type something like this in the terminal: steam steam://rungameid/{YourGameID}
