The only suggestion I have is make sure the latest version of Guest Additions is installed on the Ubuntu machine.

Yes, but installing AMD driver was quite insane, I try it few times by myself and it always screw ubuntu but I managed it with help from steam linux community so head that direction when you need help link. I don't use virtual box I have it installed with live cd and it's good OS once you learn how to use Terminal there is always something to do.

Ubuntu seemed like bloatware to me, but yeah, Steam worked fine on (another way) dual boot Ubuntu (also Wubi install).

Much to my disgruntlement, I wasn't able to get Steam to run when most programs would in Linux. Missed out on the Tux TF2 item even though I had been using Ubuntu for years before. :(

worked totally fine for me, but i'm dual-booting. i've used virtualbox in the past and it doesn't support 3d graphics, so if you want that you'll have to run ubuntu in something that doesn't remove the ability to use 3d graphics.

I am running Ubuntu at a VirtualBox machine. I read "Ubuntu is steam's best friend!" on Steam web, but last Ubuntu versions need 3D acceleration, thing that steam does not support (at least running into a virtual box).
Has anyone run it sucefully? I mean, if there are another way to instal it / another virtual machine software that may make it work.
Fixed. Got to swap to Ubuntu 12.04, which is pretty much the same thing, but it supports the 2d acceleration use.
