Oh god I love how easy encryption is under Linux.
I have a 6GiB ext2 partition with encryption up the ass on my USB stick now, and it just pops up a window asking for keyphrase when in Linux, and just works.

Oh
heh, saw a couple people asking to trade for tux today.
I just said "Install Linux and get him yourself, it's free."
I don't know if I did the right thing or the wrong thing. :v:
linux mint 13 vs ubuntu?
[QUOTE=Soleeedus;39604437]linux mint 13 vs ubuntu?[/QUOTE]
depends on your needs and preferences
both tend to work out of the box (well, ubuntu 12.04 anyway, avoid 12.10, its a mess)
Mint has more pre-installed apps and a more traditional desktop experience compared to Ubuntu which tries to do something different.
I'm installing 12.10 right now
What should I do?

It's on partitioning but it says this:
Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_draw: assertion '!widgeth->priv->alloc_needed' failed
I've installed Gentoo on a VM before and it's gone better than this :v:

What is so bad about 12.10?

I've personally had nothing but bad experiences with it, and so have some other people I know. The default nvidia driver included in it is outright broken for me, and for some reason installing the proprietary drivers is more difficult than it needs to be.
I wish I could stop the installer right now
It's still on partitioning and I don't want to ruin my partitions :/
Decided to symlink my windows steamapps for my mint counterpart, however every time I try to launch any game they all just seem to silently fail.Any ideas?
[B]Edit: [/B]Just some more info on this, I can see it creating any fresh files / folder it needs to (tried wiping the TF folder temporarily / installing other games), but when it comes to actually launching the game, nothing happens.
[B]Edit: [/B]Further progress, turns out that permission is denied on reading the launchers for the games. Just tinkering to see if I can get it all set and launching with permissions.
[B]Edit: [/B]Turns out Steam doesn't seem to like working through Symlinks and is supposed to throw an error according to the discussion I found, but it doesn't! :v:.

I'm glad this thread is not nearly as bad as the crap that's appearing on the Steam forums from this promotion. I'm scared to even go there now.
Sorry if this isn't a support thread, but I'm getting "Unable to determine CPU Frequency. Try to define CPU_MHZ" when trying to start up TF2 with a terminal command. Also, steam refuses to open, as I've tried to double click, single click, click and enter, etc on that damn icon for a while now.

Do I use it on the flash memory thingy or windows on my computer?
I suppose I should mention that I'm running the latest Ubuntu version on a Virtualbox VM.
