Two small bugs to report (Groups : Desura : Forum : Application Linux : Two small bugs to report) Locked

Hi DesuraI'd like to report two bugs.
1)Today I downloaded desura client on Xubuntu 12.04 and tried to login.I have entered wrong password so I got this 'good account wrong password' message box. Clicking OK does not work, button is not working. I had to press alt+f4 to proceed.
2)
Now I have downloaded steel-storm game DEMO. After downloading through your client I got error "failed to read" [/home/miro/tmp/desura/common/steel-storm/steelstorm]

It is really not there, here are contents of the folder:

engine_source.zip gpl-2.txt key_0.d0pk launch-game.sh license.txt
gamedata icons key_1.d0pk libs steelstorm-demo

So there is 'steelstorm-demo' instead of 'steelstorm'.Executing ./steelstorm-demo or ./launch-game.sh launches game fine.

Hi
okay, I'm trying to use Desurium (weekly builds depository through apt-get). My bug number 1 is fixed there.

But now I'm curious - what is the difference Desurium vs Desura? You have something written in your FAQ:
Github.com
But that is not undestandable much - what does that mean in human language? Please rephrase that so I know what is it and why I should use Desurium instead of Desura :)

I'm also interested in another FAQ:
Github.com
And that is not much understandable either. It would be nice if there would be some step-by-step HOW-TO. Not everyone knows what to copy where. I know where are Desura games but where should I copy those files? How about some auto-import feature?

it is like chromium and chrome; desurium is the fully free variant of desura; desura has another icon and theme; desurium will most likely be more recent.
we currently don't have a how-to and nobody has time to write one; since this is a community effort and we got no paid developers a auto-import feature is very low priority; but feel free to open a feature request
