I have just installed Steam on Xubuntu, and after it finished installing it went to the login screen, but the screen is frozen, and I cannot press the buttons. When running Steam though the terminal it says:

alex@Craptop:~$ steam

and then the terminal gets stuck too, letting me type into it but not doing anything. I tried reinstalling and restarting the computer, but it still keeps happening.
