Debian :: Find A MUD That's Not Focused On The Medieval Ages?
Oct 8, 2010
what I want to know is if there's anyone out there that is into MUDs and if so, what muds do you play and are they active? (50-100+ users daily). If you could give me a short description of the one you play, that would be helpful.
Yes, I know MUDs were like..Five years ago, but I found Realms of Despair and I really like it. So, I am looking for more MUDs that I might enjoy. In all honesty, I would like to find a MUD that's not focused on the Medieval ages, for that's all I seem to find. So, if anyone could point out a few good ones, preferably free for the time being, because I'm not hardcore into them and willing to pay just yet.
The version of Firefox (Iceweasel) in Sid, is 3.5.10. The latest version (of Firefox) is 3.6.6. Why is are the repos stuck so far behind? or is it Iceweasel that is stuck?
In Windows Explorer, if a file is focused, press Menu Key on keyboard, context menu will show on top of the file. But in Nautilus, the same action shows context menu where the mouse cursor is. That's a bit annoying. Is there anyway to make it work like Windows?
Ubuntu has been working fine since I dropped Windows six months ago , but recently I am experiencing problems when saving files that I have scanned in . They are taking an age to save and they are only small files less than 200kb ??? Saving anything takes an age now 5 mins +
When printing web pages or PDF files in Ubuntu 10.04 to a network printer using CUPS, files are blown out to huge sizes - over 200Mb for a 30Mb PDF document and over 70Mb for a simple web page with 6 images and some text. Its holding up everyone else in our office who, through Windows XP are printing the same files in about a 20th of the time it takes Ubuntu+CUPS. I have tried printing directly to the printer, printing through the Win2003 PDC share, printing with LPR (which coincidentally generates a bit smaller ps file) and printing with Adobe Reader instead of evince
At least with 11.4 on a 12-core AMD, the NOUVEAU driver is a crock for this. Not merely does character reflection and many other things take ages, it dies horribly far too often. NVIDIA's driver seems better. This is purely for information, as my problem is solved for now.
have a strange problem with evolution attachments: they take ages to save. I just received a 7 MB daily and it took about 3 minutes (!) until it completed the saving process.to be clear, the problem isn't downloading the email with the attachment from the mailserver. the problem exists AFTER the email has been downloaded from the server to my evolution inbox and I try to use the "save as..." option.it almost looks like evolution is trying to "download" the file from my local harddrive to my local harddrive (yes, this sentence is correct), and it's doing that at extremely low speed.
I have just 4 minor things with Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit)
1) Sometimes the disk checker runs at startup. Why does it take so long to finish? On the previous version of Ubuntu, it was a quick check, but now on version 10.04 it takes AGES just to check the disk!
2) Why do some programs like Kega Fusion only play sound if you run it on its own with no other programs open? Try the Linux version of Kega Fusion with and without other programs open: [URL]
3) Who do I ask if I would like a hardware device supported? I have a SIM card reader (Veho VSD-229) and I can only use it in Windows to back up my SIM card contacts.
4) Last question. Is there a Ubuntu "wishlist" anywhere?
On Lucid, using the nVidia proprietary drivers, the panel takes about 15-20 seconds to load after loging in. Everything else works fine, I can use my desktop shortcuts and open other programs, just the panel leaves an empty space at the top and bottom, until it loads.
I don't have this problem on a laptop with Intel graphics running Lucid, nor when using Nouveau drivers on this computer. I read somewhere that it could be due to gdmsetup not having it's config file, but even after trying the suggested workaround (opening gdmconfig and changing settings so the config file is made) the problem persists. If I run "killall gnome-panel" the panel disappears (not surprisingly) and then briefly pops back up before disappearing again for about 10 seconds.
Could this be something to do with Compiz? With the Nouveau drivers Compiz is disabled, so Compiz is the only thing I can think of that affects the panel differently between the two graphics drivers.
I'm having issues with my broadcom BCM4313 wireless adapter. Everything works just fine when connected (with additional drivers & Connman), but it takes about 5 minutes to connect to my network when i just started my computer! When resuming from hibernation it goes very quick though, so just when I boot my pc it's taking forever...This is what I found in the dmesg output:
Basically i just downloaded and installed Ubuntu 11.04 and i love it, however all websites wont load except for ubuntuforums.org and google.com which both seem to load instantly. Any ideas?
BTW i am connected to the internet obviously and i am also writing this on ubuntu. I don't understand why this is happening because all websites seem to load on windows and the package installer seems to work fine.
So basicly I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I am experiencing something I always experience when I install Ubuntu. I will be using a window and then when I switch to another window it will randomly crash and it takes me ages to be able to close it down, sometimes I can never close the window down. This has stopped me from being able to use any version of Ubuntu on my computer which is disappointing because I really love Ubuntu.
I have no idea how to fix this issue at all, I have downloaded drivers for Linux from the Nvidia website but I get a window saying it cant be opened, and no surprise after many efforts I can't even close that window. Its a .run file so I don't know if I have to run it via terminal? I am fed up of not being able to use Ubuntu because these windows freezing is making it unbearable to use.
My configuration is OpenSuSE 11.4/KDE4/32bit. I am noticing that for about 20 minutes (or more) after first login every time there is a process which takes 100% CPU for most of the time and, of course, slows everything down. The system monitor suggests it is the 'tracker-miner' process (whatever that is). Do I need the tracker-miner? What good does it do? Is there any way to stop it (not to start it)?
when I am pressing the shut down button inside kde I receive this nice black screen with the green status messages indicating what was done successfuly. At the unmounting file systems though I have to wait for a 20-30mins duration to finished. I have two or three network shares but even a timeout would not take more than 1 min to appear.
I really am a great fan of Songbird, but there's one thing that keeps annoying me: searching my music collection. I have about 12k songs (67GB) in my library, and using the search bar is pretty much a disaster: whatever I type it takes ages to come up with something, and if I delete any of the written to enter something new it hangs for like five minutes. This sort of forced me to look for specific songs myself or just keep it going on shuffle, none of which is a good solution. I believe the problem is that songbird searches after every single typed character instead of waiting until I'm finished, which is a cool feature with smaller amounts of data to look through, but in my case it's just annoying and pointless. How to disable this feature? I am using Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146.
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04, and Iv been using the ATI/AMD propitairy driver FGLRX and it worked fine inn 9.10.But now, the Bootsplash is ugly, and it takes ages for the OS to load, I didn't have this problem with 9.10.I try to remove it, but it chucks out an error stating a package doesn't exist.
I have laptop with Mobility Radeon HD3200 graphics. Gnome 3 works more or less fine until I start Skype. When Skype is running switching between the windows is a pain in the a$$. The screen flickers, looks crappy, takes ages to refresh, etc. Anyone experience similar things? I also noticed that when I start yumex I also get the screen doing the same things as with Skype, but to a much lesser extent and only for a few seconds. Could it be related to the network connection? Running F15 64
I could't find the 64bit Debian Lenny OS for Intel architecture.Hence I have installed amd64 and it is working fine.Does both intel and amd have the same 64 bit OS amd64 ?
Working on an important project and feel hung up on. Anyway, I have Listen 80 and Listen 8100. For some reason my isp or something is blocking 80 even with port forwarding and an attempt at putting my server in dmz, though I'm not sure if my router can handle it. Anyway, from within the network I can use my routers IP and see port 80 forwards to my box, though from outside the network port 80 is a no go(finds no route to host). So I set up listening on 8100, and sure enough I can access it from outside the network, but it doesn't seem to have the same root as port 80 for some reason, because when I go to the page it says the requested url / (just a slash here like theres no rest of the address) cannot be found. At the bottom it says debian server port 8100 so I know its getting to my computer.
I'm new here and very new to Debian. I have a server with Debian 4 installed by anoter person and webmin was installed and running. I run a dist-upgrade to switch to Debian 5.
Upgrade completed successfully, as far as I know, except than Webmin stopped to work. Once logged in I got many error for modules/program not found. So I uninstalled webmin using "apt-get remove".
Now if I try to install it again apt-get tells me that (try to translate from Italian):
Quote:
Package webmin has not any version available, but is referred by another package. This means that package is missing, became obsolete or is available only from within another source. E: package webmin has no installation candidates
I tried also with "apt-get install webmin-core" but get the same message with only this additional info:
Quote:
Anyway, these packages substitute it: webmin
Tried to run "apt-get update" and then "apt-cache search webmin" but it doesn't find anything.
I can't find gnome-mount using aptitude, but certainly it is listed in packages.debian. org/squeeze. Maybe I need add a new repository. But how do I know what is that repository?
I have a folder structure filled with zip files. I am trying to unzip them and keep them in their original location
This is what I am using
find . -iname "*.zip" -exec unzip {} ;
Now this command just unzips fine but the thing is that it unzips them where I fire this command(root folder of the zipped files). How can I recursively unzip files but keep them in place ?
have you ever encounter such problem that the g2c lib can not be find in lenny debian when using gcc -lg2c ... I have tried several methods but failed to solve it. I use the apt-file search g2c and find that libg2c0: /usr/lib/lig2c.so.0. However, it looks could not work. I wonder if I should install the g77 compiler which is no in lenny, but I don't know how to install g77.
