    Installing And Running Windows Games On Linux Tutorials

    Posted: 14 Feb 2020 01:50 AM PST

    Hi everyone, so I've been using Linux for approximately a year now exclusively for gaming, and with the exception of a couple of games, they all work really well.

    However I have found the vast majority of them still require some form of tweaking, usually this is nothing to do with Proton itself and thus is unlikely to be implemented as a fix, for example Fallout 3 still requires you to copy a patched Xlive.dll for the game to even launch.

    I know that ProtonDB exists, but the reports that people have been posting recently, I personally blame the new reporting form, are not as user friendly, especially to Linux newbies, as they used to be.

    So as a response, I have created an ongoing series on my YouTube channel in which I clearly explain how to install and run Windows games on Linux, including using Proton and Lutris for launching said games.

    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYPsm9PTBrGvS6E6IAwjzWAeqy9ooj0XA

    The videos are only a couple of minutes long each, and are scripted and to the point, and at the end of the video, I give an honest review of the game's performance on Linux.

    In other words, I'm not going say that a game that runs like crap on Linux is a good outcome as that would be detrimental to the Linux gaming scene.

    My ultimate plan is to produce tutorials for all my games on Steam, Origin, Epic Games, Uplay, Blizzard, Bethesda libraries, alongside walkthroughs for my favourite games and general gaming on Linux content.

    My channel is www.youtube.com/IntelligentGaming2020 and please feel free to check it out, and offer constructive feedback.

    And if you like my content, please subscribe to support me.

    Looking for a new cloud solution, pcloud is using up CPU all the time?

    Posted: 14 Feb 2020 11:31 AM PST

    Pcloud on Manjaro is using up 100% of 1 logical core ALL the time. I don't know how to troubleshoot this.

    Has anyone successfully installed Linux on an Android tablet? More below.

    Posted: 14 Feb 2020 01:58 PM PST

    I have an older Samsung Galaxy tablet running Android 4.2.2 Jellybean. It has 16GB of internal memory but has a microsd slot for exapandable memory and I have had 128 GB mounted.

    It's in mint condition but it's loaded with Samsung's typical bloatware and I'd like to put Linux on it. Has anyone done this and is it even possible?

    Running Script Manually VS Using Cron - Different Results??

    Posted: 14 Feb 2020 01:42 PM PST

    I'm having some issues automating a script on my server.

    For context, I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS headless.

    Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: I'm running a Minecraft server on my machine, and have found that it occasionally goes down. It's easy enough to start back up, but I currently have to wait for users to let me know it's down, or discover it for myself when I try to play. So I wrote a simple script that checks if the server is up, and if it is, the script terminates. Conversely, if the script doesn't find the server, it will then start it.

    The script permissions are 755 (-rwxr-xr-x), and it is owned by root:root.

    But here's the weird bit. If I run the script as root, it works flawlessly. But if I schedule the script using the root crontab, it errors out and reports in the logs that a file it needs doesn't exist:

    cron[1541]: sendmail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory

    However, that file doesn't exist when I manually run the script as root, and the script works fine. So why would it suddenly care about it when cron tries to run it as root?

    To further add to the confusion, every other script that manages this server works without issue. I have about a dozen scheduled that do anything from backing the server up hourly, checking for new versions and installing them nightly, generating interactive maps that get published to a website, etc.

    I'm at a loss for what what I should try next. Does anyone have any ideas of how to get this to work?

    unable to connect to x server: Connection refused

    Posted: 14 Feb 2020 08:23 AM PST

    I installed Debian on my computer. No GUI booted up so I ran "startx" and got this error :

    Fatal Server Error: EE cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify budIDs for all framebuffer devices.

    xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to x server: Connection refused xinit: server error

    I have no idea what that means. I've tried some troubleshooting steps listed on Debian website and still got the same error.

    Anyone somehow knows how to fix this? Just so you know the installation always results in this so I didn't click anything wrong.

    I will be taking a course soon mainly using the centos cli and I'm a bit rusty with my commands. Are there any decent YouTubers/guides that teach the basic commands (how to Navigate through filesystems, edit users, manipulate harddrive etc. )

    Modify the hello world script to do the following:

    Add a shebang for your preferred shell. Ask the user for a name, say "Hello, $NAME", submit the script.

    The original script was echo "Hello World!"

    Tried to repurpose an old laptop, but need advice

    Posted: 14 Feb 2020 08:21 AM PST

    My aunt was in need of a PC (for office work, email...) and I said I would give her my old laptop. Got rid of W7 and looked for a lightweight distro. Settled on Lubuntu, but the day I brought her the PC, I could not connect it to the internet and the error message gave no useful info. It seems it was because her box allows both WPA and WPA2, something like that? Not quite sure.

    Found a fix since then, but honestly, it was too much of a hassle for such a little thing. Turns out Lubuntu is not noob-friendly enough and I don't feel like it's going to work out. Did I pick the wrong distro for this case? Any advice?

    (Mint 19.3) Touchpad tapping drag lock not enabled, though xinput says it is

    Posted: 14 Feb 2020 07:58 AM PST

    I know how to change my xinput file -- xinput set-prop 14 288 1gives the desired output libinput Tapping Drag Lock Enabled (288): 1, but the it doesn't actually work. Drag lock is still not functional.

    This problem has persisted through multiple reinstalls as I try to get a new laptop up and running. Any pointers?

    ETA: A couple new pieces of information. 1) It's not only the Drag Lock feature; changing xinput values for any of the properties fails to change the touchpad's behavior. 2) Switching to a Synaptics driver doesn't solve the problem. 3) This issue also presents on a Ubuntu 18.04 live USB.

    The machine I'm using is a Dell Inspiron, pointing device AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint.

    CGI in ksh/html : how to recover the query string ?

    Posted: 14 Feb 2020 07:39 AM PST

    On my first CGI, I've do this : ``` echo "<div id="AIX">"

    echo "<p> AIX Filesystem : </p>"

    echo "<form action="AIX_GNU.ksh" method="post">" echo "<select name="SERV">" echo "$SERV_AIX" | while read SERV_AIX; do echo " <option value="$SERV_AIX">$SERV_AIX</option>" done echo "</select>"

    echo "<select name="DATE_AIX">" echo "$DATE_AIX" | while read DATE_AIX; do echo " <option value="$DATE_AIX">$DATE_AIX</option>" done echo "</select>"

    echo "<input type="submit" value="Select">" echo "</form>"

    echo "</div>" ```

    On my other page ( AIX_GNU.ksh ), I'm able to recover the query string with : read a echo $a

    Now, I've a file with a list of fs : ``` /dev/hd1 /dev/hd2 /dev/hd3 /dev/hd4 /dev/hd5

    ```

    I've created a button for each FS :

    ``` FS=$(cat /xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/foo.txt | awk -F';' '{print $2}' | sort | uniq)

    echo "<form action="test.ksh" method="post">" echo "$FS" | while read FS; do echo "<input type="submit" value="$FS">" done echo "</select>" echo "</form>"

    ```

    But on the test.ksh, if I try to use read a and echo $a, I've no result...

    Can you show me how to do this ?

    Problems updating windows 10 on dual boot with ubuntu

    Posted: 13 Feb 2020 06:07 PM PST

    HI,

    I have windows 10 & ubuntu installed on my laptop, on the same ssd. Ever since I installed Ubuntu, Windows 10 cannot update itself. It starts to install the updates, restarts and then after selecting windows 10 from the grub bootloader the windows update installer tells me that it had to cancel the updates & restarts again. Is this possibly because the grub bootloader is interfering with the updates? Is this a common issue? Is it worth using windows bootloader instead? If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

    Cheers
