Debian :: Can't Get Popular Linux Title ETQW To Work
Nov 16, 2015
Getting Enemy Territory Quake wars to run in Sid? I have steam working, but I can't get the popular Linux title ETQW to work. First I was getting the typical error when ia32-libs is not installed. So instead I ran "apt-get install libsdl1.2debian:i386" and that seemed to make the game get further in boot instead of the lib error, however then I'm spammed with (to the point I can't scroll up to read the error)
pure virtual method called
terminate called recursively
pure virtual method called
Segmentation fault
so I don't know what to do now, could it be as simple as installing more packages? I've had the game run flawlessly on wheezy before, never had this error before. I am using Sid with an ASUS AMD R7 370, open source driver, and kernel 4.3 same error when i drop to root permissions
I just installed ETQW 1.5 (Linux version), the game installed fine but strangely enough the 'Play Online' button is grayed out and therefor I can't play online. Anyone else who encountered this problem? Is there a solution?

I have problems installing and even running the live cd on a laptop with UEFI. I've tried various distributions and versions, change the UEFI to the legacy and messed with the windows settings, it did not work.
Debian 7.9: UEFI: Distorted picture, try to run the installation failed - black screen Legacy: Background looked OK but the same problem with installation program - black screen.
Debian 8: UEFI: Background picture looked ok but I had the same problem with black screen Legacy: same as up.
Ubuntu 12: UEFI: Don't even see cd as bootable media. Legacy: Grub runs ok but have black screen when trying to run live cd.
Ubuntu 14: UEFI: Grub seems ok but have black screen when running live cd. Legacy: same as up.
URL....I have exackly the same laptop - bought in that shop.I can be problem with graphic card. Intel HD graphics 5500
One one my criteria for client machines is the ability "just work" from a generic business standpoint. By this, I mean any user needs the ability to drop in a jump drive or download that contains MS office formatted stuff, work with it, and save it in the same billie friendly format.
That means OOFFICE, right now. Which NEEDS the GTK libs (I confess I have heard of a QT version, but it's the same dilemma, really)
So, why do I bother with Openbox, XFCE, LXDE, E1[6-7], Blackbox, Fluxbox, etc? All the bloat I'm saving on WMs is rendered superfluous by the monsterbig GTK+ libs for the office suite Why not just give up and run a stripped gnome core?
This is really an open rant, but I'd love to hear if anybody has addressed this problem successfully. I guess I'm craving an opensource suite with Office's power and no bloat (I'd also love to meet st. nicholas, the easter bunny, and that guy who smokes marlboros in 'the x files')
I've got problem with my computer, any graphic card working under AGP port and any Linux based system.When I start my system with my graphic card in port AGP, the kernel panic appears.I tested on Linux: Ubuntu, Debian (few version from 7.10 to 9.10), Mint, OpenSUSE 10.3, 11.0), DSL. Always has been crash with kernel panic. Both live versions and installed tested.Working fine only on Linux Slitaz.I tested on GeForce4, GeForce2 and some old GPU from ATI. Computer works fine on built-in GPU Intel Extreme Graphics 2. Everything is fine under MS Windows. No problems. But I don't want to use Windows.
I run a web server on Fedora 12, principally using Apache, MySQL, and PHP. I host a variety of sites, one of which is a family website that contains semi-sensitive personal data for several hundred extended family members, who all have access to the database-driven site.
Until now, I have been using a self-signed SSL certificate to encrypt the data as it is read and written back and forth from my database. Family members have simply had to put up with clicking past certificate warnings as they enter the site, as most browsers flag self-signed certificates as bad. It hasn't really been that much of a bother, but I'd love to do it more professionally. I have looked into buying SSL certificates, but it's a site I host for free and would rather find a cheap or free alternative if possible.
So I'm just fishing for ideas to work with. What are some alternatives to using SSL certificates for moderately strong website encryption? So far, I run only one host on the domain, but may eventually need encryption that would support multiple hosts. Or does anybody know a way to make self-signed certificates work on most popular browsers without being flagged as suspicious?
So when I upgraded to Slack64 13.1 on my asus MB homebrewed desktop and Slack 13.1 on my compaq presario a900 laptop, I started having issues with the xterm title (in Terminal--not Konsole) being too dynamic. By "too dynamic" I mean that I can't actually change the title. The dynamic title (from my .bashrc) is basically just pwd. Whenever I try to set the title (via terminal->set title (menu)), I changes it for a split second, and then reverts back to the dynamic title.
This is merely a petty annoyance, so to get around it, I added an xtitle function that I grabed somewhere online (just echos "�33]0;$*�07"). So for nano-ing some file, I'd type:xtitle some_file.txt; nano some_file.txt
That works just fine (kind of annoying to type though). running xtitle alone won't actually change the name either though (I'm pretty sure it's the same command as what terminal does anyway). That is, running: xtitle some_file.txt
changes the title for a split second, and the reverts back to my old pwd.What I really want is to have it dynamically name it "some_file.txt" whenever I use nano, but that appears to be a functionality of zsh (with the preexec() fxn).I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if you have a fix for it.
We run REH (Redhat Linux) on a collocated server, now we run Fedora in a cloud. In command line, main -s "title" still works, however in crond it does not, system complains as "invalid option -- s".
Everything worked 100% great untill I change color depth to 16 bits.I do not want 24 Bits, I want 16 Bits. I have good reasons. Never had this problem in Gutsy 7.10 ...I deeply regret in upgrading to 9.10 ...
My video card:
Gforce 7950 GX2
Changes to xorg.conf file: Firstly, I saved it at 16 color depth with the sudo nvidia-settings and by clicking on the save to xorg.conf file Button. Rebooted computer....... It worked, saved file, and I got the following bugs:
*Cannot move windows by dragging their title bars. *Cannot see close "X" Button in the title bar. *Cannot see Minimize Button in the title bar. *Cannot see Maximize Button in the title bar.
Went back to 24 bits and problem got resolved. Then i tryed: I did sudo gedit xorg.conf I changed all the 24's with 16's ... Rebooted computer....... It works GOOD... BUT: I got the same bugs from before. I will retype them below
*Cannot move windows by dragging their title bars. *Cannot see close "X" Button in the title bar. *Cannot see Minimize Button in the title bar. *Cannot see Maximize Button in the title bar.
My xorg.conf file:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings # nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@palmer) Sun Feb 1 20:21:04 UTC 2009 Section "ServerLayout"
I just reinstalled TWM on one of my Debian boxes, and it's suddenly got a huge (*HUGE*) title bar. Must be 32px or so. But the font's the same as it always was. Is there a way to get it back to normal?
I don`t know what kind of combination of keys I pressed, but the title bar of all windows in my Gnome vanished. Trying to fix it, I unmarked the option "show menu bar" in one of my windows. Then, I realised I couldn`t put it back either. It`s kind of frustating be stuck in such a small problem, but Gnome isn`t offering me any easy way to put these things back in place. maybe with a keyboard combination of keys that recovers all of this?
I did it, it recovered Gnome windows default, but the menus are still gone. It just erased my customizations (colors, window color, bar size, etc.)
I only just upgraded to Squeeze and am now running Fluxbox 1.1.1. The toolbar is acting strangely, though, and I can't seem to find a solution online. An example: I open Iceweasel, Thunar, and Icedove. If Iceweasel has focus, its window title will be on the left side of the toolbar. If I switch applications, and put that Thunar window in focus, the Thunar window title because the most-left item on the toolbar. I focus Icedove, Icedove's window title becomes the most left object on the toolbar and so on.
When I use GMail with Konqueror, it switches to basic HTML becasue "my browser isn't supported".
Recently I tried Google Reader in Konqueror. It said that my browser isn't supported and Google Reader won't work. But it works perfectly.
I wonder if this means that GMail would work if not for their artifical limitation of checking which browser you have? Is there a way to circumvent it?
I've been struggling for a couple of days to understand how configuration files work in Linux but haven't really found any clear information regarding that.My main question, as there is not a standard configuration file format in Linux, is how the format of a configuration file is understood by a Linux program? How the program reads its configuration file and how it understands its syntax (file format)? Also, a further question is how the program knows where its configuration file is being located?
For example inittab has its own "Identifier:RunLevel:Action:Command" format. How this is recognised by the "init" process?
i would like some help on a problem i have..is there a way to make my ipod work on linux??i tried the rythmbox but i can't load new songs on my i pod..no drug n drop..no copy paste..no nothing..!is there any distribution of itunes for linux?(ubuntu 10.10).
I want to get rid of OLPC XO-1's builtin distribution (mostly because it's impossibly slow to use for anything, even browser and pdf reader). What's the most popular replacement distro for this?
A friend loaded linux onto my eMachine netbook. Unfortunately the touch pad and WiFi refuse to work. He loaded it into a 40gb partition leaving 120gb unusable so it would probably make sense to start all over again. I only need basic txt software, pics and internet to work so I am not looking for state of the art. Just something that will work, is not too difficult to set up and preferably can be loaded from a pen drive (memory stick). Any suggestions? The "distro" as I understand it is Kubuntu. Not sure what version but I will have a look later.
I am trying to start using linux, and am new, so sorry if this is dumb. I started out trying Ubuntu, but that didn't work. After that I had tried Mint, and had several problems besides the Network Connector. Now I'm trying Fedora, but if that doesn't work is there a different Linux distro that will work?
I am looking to buy a mp3 player that would be 100% compatible with linux. I recently returned my ipod touch because without going into details, it was a nightmare to get running in linux, it actually wouldn't run. Now that I am free again, I would like recommendations for a mp3 player with roughly the following features:
-100% compatible with linux -compatible with windows (in case I want to transfer stuff from my gf's laptop) -can play pretty much all the most popular file formats from linux -application to convert files so the player can read them (I am thinking about itunes here); -has FM radio; -has a decent GUI (no monochrome text only interface like the ipod shuffle (?);
I would think 4GB is enough for me. I am not the kind of person to pack my player with 600GB of stuff and empty it once a year. I will probably add/remove stuff everyday. I also wouldn't mind if it can play podcasts. I also don't mind buying from less known companies. I just need to make sure if it craps out, I can return it or get it repaired within canada.
I have a rather old webcam, a Logitech quickcam messenger. This webcam was working fine with older linux kernel version, I think < 2.6.27. The gspca driver that makes this peripheral working has been merged into kernel sources, and I think that my webcam stopped working with this merge. I am a Slackware user, and until version 12.2 my webcam was working (I manually compiled and installed drivers). If I well remember, with version 13.0 (kernel 2.6.29) the video was full of strange artifacts, and with Slackware 13.1 (kernel 2.6.33) the webcam does not work at all. I am performing these tests with skype, that had videocalls fully working before gspca was merged into the kernel tree, while now I can only make phone calls.
This are the informations given by dmesg:

I could not get get the LG External CD R/W Drive that I recently purchased to work with my ASUS Eee Netbook (Linux based) and ended up giving the drive to a friend to use with his Windows XP based laptop.How do I make an External CD R/W Drive work with this Linux-based machine?I am an engineer (civil-structural), but not that savvy with respect to computers; particularly issues of compatibility of hardware / software.
I am using a server where i need to login twice. The first time i login as my boxname and pass. The 2nd login is 'root' so i can access the content of the box (i dont understand it but that hasnt stopped me from using it as normal).Now i like a GUI so i can browse files easier and drag and drop multiple files instead of using the command line. WinSCP doesnt work as it locks up. I suspect its because there is a prompt to log in again.
if anyone of you have shifted using Paid Red Hat Linux with CentOS, and what are your experiences of moving from Paid Linux to Unpaid Linux CenOS. When do you suggest a person use Paid Linux and when to use Unpaid Linux?
