General Linux Chat and Small Questions v. I broke my Arch Install - Hardware & Software

I need some help, I run eOS and I'm trying to run Torchlight 2 I've tried wine and Play on linux and I cannot get it to even run steam. [t]http://i.imgur.com/EbpVq11.png[/t] This is the error I get and when I sign in Steam it just closes the window.

Try it with latest WINE, without PlayOnLinux. Start up Steam from the Terminal, you'll at least get some error output when it crashes, so you have a place to start from.

WINE is being distracted by the fact that the girl in your desktop background isn't wearing pants.

Is there any good and up-to-date SSH honeypot software out there? Most of them to my knowledge hasn't been updated in years or are quite shitty.

honeyd?

Open up configuration window for Torchlight 2, and immediately you should see a Wine version option. Select the latest version (1.7.10) if available, otherwise, click the plus next to the dropdown, and follow through the dialogs to install that version of Wine to PlayOnLinux.

Windows 8.1 confirmed to fuck up EXT partitions.

[QUOTE=FPtje;43498472]Windows 8.1 confirmed to fuck up EXT partitions.[/QUOTE] Link? How?

[QUOTE=FPtje;43498472]Windows 8.1 confirmed to fuck up EXT partitions.[/QUOTE] How does that even happen?

[QUOTE=TheCreeper;43499256]How does that even happen?[/QUOTE] Something to do with the fact that this is Windows, and Windows always has problems

[QUOTE=FPtje;43498472]Windows 8.1 confirmed to fuck up EXT partitions.[/QUOTE] TBH, That doesen't even surprise me anymore.

It still baffles me that windows does not have any support for EXT partitions even though they are used a lot.

[QUOTE=lavacano;43499979]Because MS seems to think NTFS is better.[/QUOTE] NTFS is fucking shit. It still amazes me that microsoft uses it.

I had Ubuntu and Windows 8 installed. I decided to remove windows 8 and install windows 8.1 alongside Ubuntu. I started Ubuntu and removed the old NTFS partition. Leaving half of my drive empty and unpartitioned. I then inserted the Windows 8.1 disk and started the installation. In the partition screen I selected the empty space. The installation finished, Windows 8.1 works. So I started the LiveUSB to start Boot repair to fix GRUB (Windows always fucks that shit up, no surprise there) I ran the fix boot utility I posted a page or so ago Rebooted and still no grub! I started the liveUSB again and opened GParted. The Swap partition still existed The EXT4 partition was corrupted Windows 8.1 just stood there taking the half of the disk like I told it to, acting all innocent. So basically 8.1 installs where you ask it to, but it also looks to see if there are other partitions on the system and fucks them up if possible. Windows 8.1 actively fucks up your partitions.

MS has a history with problems wne running alongside Linux. 1. NTFS Corruption under Windows 8/8.1 when trying to access the NTFS drive when the system has hybrid boot enabled. 2. Fucking up the MBR (As always) 3. Windows Installer fucking up other drives. 4. Windows Installer fucks up when the PC has multiple Harddisks. "Oh you have 3 harddisks?" "Well, let me install the OS on this harddisk, oh and that HDD you use for data backups looks like a nice place for my bootloader". Seriously, this makes me so fucking mad, all the time. You Install the system on Harddisk A, and for some reason the "System-Reserved" partition gets installed on Harddisk B. This also always happens to a Co-Worker of mine, leaving the machine unable to boot, because it can't find the Bootloader.

Linux: "Hey, I'm just gonna integrate here, not gonna meddle with any of your stuff unless you tell me to" Windows: "KNEEL, MERE MORTAL. MY AUTHORITY SHALL REST ON THE ENTIRETY OF YOUR COMPUTER."

Most linux installers request a confirmation of the expected changes that will be done. You can review shit like that. But windows wants to make it "user friendly" therefor the "advanced" button doesn't do jack shit.

[editline]11th January 2014[/editline] Also, I'm still not fully convinced of UEFI, because some manufacturers made a fucking terrible imlpementation on some machines. (I'm looking at you Asus) Thats why I still fall back to MBR on my Systems, most of the time.

[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;43502024]Is there a way to stop this? Class action lawsuit or something?[/QUOTE] I never really looked that much into it, but I myself can't really do anything, since I'm a citizen in a Non-EU country. I don't even know if the authorities are aware of the fact, since dualbooting is a bit of an unusual subject to the general population.

[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;43502106]But but you're swiss. That's eu if you ask me.[/QUOTE] don't think swiss is part of the european union though, like norway isn't part of it either.

[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;43502106]But but you're swiss. That's eu if you ask me.[/QUOTE] We are an european country, but we are not part of the European Union, which has the power and interests to make such investigations happen. The truth is, that people here simply don't care about a problem like that, because it never affected like 98% off the Swiss population (I pulled that number out of my ass, but you get the idea).

that doesn't mean there are not a ton of sysadmins/users etc that get pissed off about this. They are still breaking the law. No matter how you put it.

Maybe so but you have to be inside the EU to do anything about it.

Wow, never realisied we had a Linux thread hidden away. Been toying with *nix and BSD since my uncle gave me a folder of disks back when Debian Woody was new and exciting and Knoppix was still relevant. Why is poor Arch the title joke?
