What happens if an install is made and a particular package has a dependency, where no version is specified? Would all repositories of the same pri be searched and the newest RPM version be installed. OR Would simply once the RPM is found in one of those pri's simply be taken and no further searching made. So summarized when all repositories are the same priority, is the first found RPM taken or the RPM with the latest version?

AMD Phenom 2 955 3.2
4GB DDR3 G.Skill Gaming Ram
HIS ATi 5770 GFX
Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 tested 32 bit
Latest wine compiled with the needed patchs
All 3D Games under wine run at a very low fps even with the lowest graphics settings, this includes starcraft 2, league of legends, css, etc. using the latest ATi driver and 11.2 and the "tested" additional drivers ubuntu auto installs and yes i followed all the guides to improve performance under wine in all my games and all the custom patchs
Even native games such as Trine, cop lag spikes, and choppyness
Now this does not happen under windows, so i know my card and computer are healthy as can be, there new parts. in windows, in the same games, i get up to 200 fps +
The only conclusion i can come to is an incompatability with ubuntu and the latest ati drivers but i cant find anyone who can confirm this or that has a similiar setup and the same problems
I also see people with better or lower ati cards, some with the same, running these exact games in linux on high graphics with no lag
Now, abit of a turn around is, Trine and native games ran smooth as can be in Fedora 14, i cant remember what drivers i used, i followed there yum guide, but it ran extremely well and with no glitching in the exact same spots were i would glitch heavily in ubuntu
Tho i was unable to test wine games because i couldnt figure out how to compile wine in fedora with a patch i need to run my specific games, in ubuntu it was easy using sudo and apt-get
the only response i got from the ubuntu forums was "get an nvidia card"
I realise wine isnt perfect, but, fact is. other people have these games running fine on similiar cards and setups I dont know if there using different drivers.
i'm looking for people that play LAN games under linux that would also be interested in producing an easy to use gaming distro that pre-scripts the installation of many popular wine-compatible windows games (plus those games that are cross-platform) all with the click of the mouse, my thoughts are

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to connect to a Win XP computer via Remote Desktop/Terminal Server. (Note: WinXP refers to Remote Desktop, or RDP; Ubuntu uses Terminal Server client for this function.)
The problem is that my XP computer requires the use of Microsoft's RDP version 6 because it uses a Terminal Server Gateway. The TS client in Ubuntu is compatible with version 5, not version 6.
Is there a MS RDP version 6 compatible program/client for Linux?
As i know, windows server 2008 can be installed on desktop.
Linux also can?
Got any advantage?

Why are the priority values of the process different? What is the difference? Is the value 15 the "nice" priority? Then, what is the value 75? Please, explain the difference of each result.

I'm using two swap disks. Changing the order they are in in /etc/fstab and using "pri" in fstab doesn't have any effect. This is what it looks like /etc/fstab
#swap on other disk
UUID=90a1550c-84d6-4bde-8bc1-7c15292980f1 none swap sw,pri=-1 0 0

I have two custom tasks running daily. How do you give priority to one over the other?One of them is configured via the logrotate.conf. The other sits directly in cron.daily.I'd like the one in cron.daily to run after the script that is in logrotate.Please can you advise how to do this...

Code:
*.warn;

According to man syslog.conf "You can specify multiple facilities with the same priority pattern in one statement using the comma (``,'') operator. You may specify as much facilities as you want. Remember that only the facility part from such a statement is taken, a priority part would be skipped."
Can someone confirm that this statement means that kern.!=debug is ignored in the first part because it's priority is not the same as the trailing facilities ending in .none?

I've got rhythmbox playing and to minimize the effect of the mic input being routed to the computer's main output, I wanted to set the main system volume to be fairly low and turn up the level in rhythmbox. Pulseaudio won't let me do that. If I change the computer's main volume, it changes rhythm box's volume, and vice versa. I don't think I saw that behavior before, no idea what changed.
Am I completely misunderstanding something? I thought the point of an audio server is so that the client applications could produce the signals in their own way and send them through the server. Why do they have to interfere with each other's settings? Is there some preference to make it stop doing that? I looked in pavucontrol, device chooser and manager, don't see anything.
This is my problem:I installed gnome-shell, it worked, I was impressed, I stopped using it When I stop using it, I found that it changed my system, for the worse These are the changes it made to my system:Startup services do not run, I have to run programs manually I cannot lock my screen, either by hotkey or the normal menu applet Totem no longer prevents the screen from going blank while playing
Its like some sort of system service is not starting, I'm sure there are other symptoms that I have forgotten. All of these problems are livable, but inconvenient. I should have known better than to mess with my system, but I wish I knew how to reverse it. Naturally I uninstalled gnome-shell but it did nothing.
I have 11.04 installed, Gnome 2.32.0 - life has been good until I responded as normal to the update manager this morning. Upon reboot noticed my main menu, system menu and places menu are gone. Other icons and stuff like power button remain on the top toolbar but again, no menus.Googling around I found solutions that were years old and/or did not work for me (like installing XFCE - which did nothing).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI got a problem with ubuntu and it is when I try to play games everything works alright but suddenly I get a random freeze, my entire screen freezes and I have to reboot in most cases, sometimes it turns to normal after a while. I had this problem in 9.10 and I got nvidia GTX 275. I dualboot with windows.
It could be my fans that are not working as the computer temperature gets up to 43 C or something when I game, however I've not seen how hot it is when it freezes.
Oh and I use 10.04, had the same bug in 9.10
I just bought my first server and was hoping to turn it into a gaming computer.
