steam: not found about voglperf HOT 1 CLOSED

Corrected the issue.

I previously installed Steam through the command line, like so:

sudo apt-get install steam

While this installed a working Steam, it was outdated. The newer Steam doesn't store itself in the same directory anymore, which is why Voglperf could not locate Steam.

After uninstalling Steam through:

sudo apt-get remove steam

I then installed Steam through the .deb package offered on Valve's website:
http://store.steampowered.com/about/

You will need to remove the .steam folder from your Home directory first (it's hidden, so you'll need to go to View -> Show Hidden Files), otherwise the newer installer won't be able to run. It will complain that it can't overwrite the current steam folder.

After that, it was pretty much smooth sailing. One good way to know if you've used the outdated installer for Steam, is if your icon is NOT the following:

I know this is probably trivial, but it took me quite a while to figure out why it would not work. Hopefully this helps others who may encounter the same issue.
