[QUOTE=Jookia;33573240]If you can tell me the steps you did to fix it I may check out the source and locate the problem.[/QUOTE] Ehh sure, the post right above yours... Also, I think the problem is related to the UI. It used to do it all the time. Since I changed that one option (mentioned above) the spikes go away when the window is closed. The problem has to come from the main window. I don't think it's rendering (unless it's done in an odd way) as it still happens when the window is minimized and shouldn't render. In fact, when the window is closed and desura is set to keep it in ram, it still does it. [B]Edit:[/B] I just noticed that I didn't make myself very clear when I said that I fixed it. The fix I am talking about is the one I mentioned above. It's not a permanent fix, it just allows me to play games without having it go crazy. It still happens whenever I open the window again. [B]Edit 2:[/B] Also, this may be of use: [code] [ 3250.508018] desura[1576]: segfault at ac3a7258 ip b76adc47 sp bfa19278 error 4 in libpthread-2.14.1.so[b76a5000+17000] [ 7359.890198] desura[3182]: segfault at ae8027c0 ip b6f91a30 sp bfa19120 error 4 in libuicore.so[b6e68000+4d7000] [11409.050903] desura[4922]: segfault at b37d5258 ip b7840c47 sp bfbe9338 error 4 in libpthread-2.14.1.so[b7838000+17000] [/code]
I can't reproduce the spikes, sorry.
I'm attempting to install Fear to see if it'll work, and this is what comes up for the EULA. [t]http://i.imgur.com/FeVMX.png[/t]
guise, Gnome3 for HTPC is a good idea?
hey where did google.com/linux go that shit was handy as, is there any other way to do searches that were similar to this page
[QUOTE=bye;33624761]hey where did google.com/linux go that shit was handy as, is there any other way to do searches that were similar to this page[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/229774/say_goodbye_to_google_search_portals_for_linux_mac_and_more.html[/url]
what a pack of cunts
never knew, that there was such a thing
up until recently I used it all the time for all kinds of reference, it made search easier imo eg. google.com/linux -> type 'motion' -> get the mad webcam package google.com -> type 'motion' -> get garbage about apple products
I think it would be particularly helpful for Awesome as it's a very generic word and I end up needing to search for it often.
you pretty much just need to include 'linux' in all the search queries now not [i]that[/i] much of a big deal damn google, some kind of 'hey just use regular google <like this>' notification would suffice
So I just installed the KDE base on my Arch install. I gotta say, I'm actually impressed..It's a lot better since the last time I used it. Very flashy, too :v:
UGH crunchbang refuses to install on my Macbook pro.
[QUOTE=Jawalt;33661879]UGH crunchbang refuses to install on my Macbook pro.[/QUOTE] What a shame, OSX is a piece of shit.
[QUOTE=doonbugie2;33663456]What a shame, OSX is a piece of shit.[/QUOTE] OSX is a nice unix distribution
[QUOTE=kaukassus;33670224]OSX is a nice unix distribution[/QUOTE] Its terrible, feels very unfunctional.. just pretty.
oh, did someone say "Mac"? TIME TO THROW ANGRY WORDS AROUND
Reading through Holly some more.. I'm failing to get why instead of linking with holly.dll compile-time it's loaded runtime.
[QUOTE=Jookia;33670596]Reading through Holly some more.. I'm failing to get why instead of linking with holly.dll compile-time it's loaded runtime.[/QUOTE] I was wondering the same thing when I was checking out the diff of garry's commit of your patch. [editline]12th December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=doonbugie2;33670331]Its terrible, feels very unfunctional.. just pretty.[/QUOTE] I was using Mac OS X Lion in VMware in recent weeks to try compiling some things. Apart from the horrendous experience I suffered trying to download and install xcode to get GCC, the whole interface was laggy and unresponsive, clicking in one location frequently caused a completely different location to act as though it was clicked instead, it was inconsistent to use the windows compared to the de-facto standard developed in Windows' desktop environment and X11, and the whole thing was generally unpleasant. While I'd like to attribute much of this to the fact it was probably just a poor-performing virtual machine and not the apparent crappiness of Mac OS X itself, I can't help but feel that I'm [i]not[/i] misguided and that Mac [b]is[/b] just shit.
[QUOTE=mechanarchy;33671339]I was wondering the same thing when I was checking out the diff of garry's commit of your patch.[/QUOTE] Amazing how I posted in the wrong thread.
I made a small script that converts the Windows install of Postal 2 into a Linux native version, it anyone whats it. [code]#!/bin/bash clear echo '-----------------------------------------' echo 'Postal 2 Linux installer by Flaming Spaz' echo '-----------------------------------------' #enter your Postal2 folder echo 'Enter the path to your "Postal 2 Share the Pain" folder. it will have a folder called System inside it' read b cd """$b""" mv "System/" "winSystemBackup/" #grab the FreeMP linux tarball wget http://0day.icculus.org/postal2/Postal2STP-FreeMP-linux.tar.bz2 tar -xvf Postal2STP-FreeMP-linux.tar.bz2 #copy required files out of it cp -r 'Postal2STP-FreeMP-linux/System' ./ cp 'Postal2STP-FreeMP-linux/postal2' ./ #Copy components out of the windows version cp winSystemBackup/*.u System cp winSystemBackup/*.int System cp winSystemBackup/*.bmp System #get rid of script files rm -rf Postal2STP-FreeMP-linux.tar.bz2 echo 'Clear Windows system files? (y/n)' read a if [[ $a == "Y" || $a == "y" || $a = "" ]]; then echo "Clearing Windows system files" rm -rf 'Postal2STP-FreeMP-linux/' rm -rf 'winSystemBackup' fi echo 'Conversion script complete. Launch game now?' read c if [[ $c == "Y" || $c == "y" || $c = "" ]]; then #run the game! ./postal2 fi [/code]
I read that as Portal 2 and got all excited [IMG]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-saddowns.gif[/IMG]
Has anyone tried to change the audio device in MATE on Mint 12? The only thing I can find is a volume control menu and switching to a Gnome3 session just to change the playback to my speakers, headphones or hdmi is an absolute pain. I just can't seem to find the menu anywhere in any of the menus. Shit, making it play over everything connected would work fine too.. I can't understand the point of Gnome3 though, as someone with two monitors it's absolutely stupid since half the time I mouse across the screen I hit the hot spot thing. All of the panels are stuck to one screen since you can't move them, reorganize them or do anything with them from what I saw. I would think more people have more than one monitor by now and the blatant problems with it would be brutally obvious.
Did any linux users buy the new indie bundle? All the games support linux and the ones I've tried so far all seem to run really well (except for NightSky).
[QUOTE=Mattz333;33716526]Did any linux users buy the new indie bundle? All the games support linux and the ones I've tried so far all seem to run really well (except for NightSky).[/QUOTE] I did. SMB for linux is worth it alone!
[QUOTE=T3hGamerDK;33717160]I did. SMB for linux is worth it alone![/QUOTE] I did too. I already had the Steam version of SMB, and I would have bought this bundle just for the Linux version. But the other games are awesome too. I spent $30 on this one.
I only spend 10 bucks though. I'm a poor student who doesn't have an income :( So since I still have to pay for food and everything, I couldn't really afford it. Worst case scenario, I'll increase my amount once I can :D
Do they have x64 support?
[QUOTE=Jookia;33730124]Do they have x64 support?[/QUOTE] Only Bit Trip Runner has a 64-bit download. But 32-bit works fine on 64-bit Linux. You just need to install 32-bit libs like SDL or OpenAL. [editline]15th December 2011[/editline] Oh, and you'd need 32-bit graphics drivers, which was always a pain in the ass back when I used Gentoo.
It's totally worth it regardless, in my opinion anyway. Another bundle of awesome games for Linux? Yes, thank you! Now all we need is for them to get onboard desura as well.
