General :: Games Have Stopped Running?
May 17, 2010
I have the latest drivers installed from ati, everything worked fine recently but now suddenly no games will run. I can access the Catalyst control centre, so it's not like my drivers got accidentally removed.
i get this error via terminal on any game i try to run, warsow, 0 a.d. etc

My current setup is:
* Dual GTS 250 video cards
* 3 Monitors
* Used nvidia-settings to run each monitor as a separate x session
* This is all running on Linux Mint Debian Edition
When running games (Starcraft II) in Wine via PlayOnLinux, I've found that the mouse does not get locked. I already tried various solutions littered across the web and none work so I'd rather just disable my other two monitors while playing. Does anyone know of a method where I can turn off my other two monitors (not my primary monitor) while running Wine and then turn then back on afterwards? I don't mind having to manually run a script before and after gaming.
This is the output of my xrandr for each of my monitors (I get a different xrandr depending on which X session (i.e. monitor) I try xrandr on):
Primary Monitor
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1080
default connected 1920x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm .....
Second Monitor
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 1: minimum 320 x 240, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024
default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm .....
Third Monitor
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 2: minimum 320 x 175, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024
default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm .....
I could not figure out from the above outputs what I should be using for the --output flag. I assumed it was default and tried the following:
~ $ xrandr --output default --off
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
But as you can see, it didn't work. Additionally, since all three xrandr outputs list the monitor as default, I wouldn't know how to turn my other monitors back on afterwards (if the command did work). Do you know what might be wrong in my nvidia-settings or what else I could try?

I'm having some trouble with Java based games. I am running 11.04 64x and I downloaded and installed the latest sun-jvm. I know my hardware can run these two games very well (Minecraft and Spiral Knights). I'm wondering if maybe sun isn't my default plugin.

Not sure what's happened here, I can only put it down to one of the daily updates.Chromium has stopped running, it starts, flashes on the screen and shuts down. I haven't done or changed anything as far as I know.I've unistalled it completely using Synaptic and reinstalled but no go.

When I opened Quicken this morning I saw that WINE did some kind of update; now Quicken cannot open files. The program seems to start normally but when I try to open a file it locks up. I see that Freecell runs normally but of course it doesn't access any data files.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a new Dell PowerEdge.
I built the system ~2 months ago and have successfully been running a list of cronjobs.
The jobs last ran on 5/31/11 at 7:35am. Since then none of the jobs have run.
I see "cron" in the process list when I run ps.

i first noticed it while running VLC when at least one of my keyboard hotkeys stopped working. I tried reassigning the key and then reinstalling the packages from SPM and it failed (using kow's ppa) then i did a clean uninstall and reinstall from A/R programs, which didnt fix anything. then later i had problems typing in firefox, specifically with the number pad (the hotkey i'm referring to is also part of the number pad) something makes me think it's my keyboard or keyboard driver, i've been keeping up with the updates for Jaunty, including the most recent kernel update.

My elderly HP Laserjet 4P has worked well for over 15 years. I have it connected to the home network via a Trendnet TE100-P21 Print Server, and setup has always been straightforward and easy. The whole setup has worked quite well with Fedora 9 or 10 thru 14, but then stopped working within the last couple of weeks. I'm assuming an update broke something, as I can find no other reason. When I send a print job or test page, I get a Print Error dialog. The print que shows a "stopped" status for the job. In the Error dialog I use the Diagnose button and step through until I get the Status Messages dialog, which informs me: "The printer's state message is: 'Data file sent successfully'".
Then I enable debugging and send a test page. Stepping through the dialogs it tells me it cannot detect a problem, and gives me an error log, which I've attached. The Trendnet server has a web admin interface. In that interface I can send a test page successfully. Also, I can open a VirtualBox (Windows XP) in Fedora 14, and successfully print from it. My print setup in Fedora is the same as it has been for several years now, and nothing has changed on that end. I have rebooted Fedora and the Trendnet server. All other computers/OS's on the network have no problem printing, only this Fedora 14, and only recently.

While installing the fedora desktop I had unchecked the Games and Entertainment section but I can still see the same Games options available in the menu.
I tried checking the same in the Add/Remove Programs but I was not able to get the option for uninstalling the same.
Games which are present are: AisleRiot Solitaire, lagno, Mines and Sudoku. I would like to delete the games options available.

I used to be able to play King Games when I used Internet Explorer 7.When I log on now it states that I can't play using my current Ubuntu. Is there any way this can be rectified? I've looked at a similar thread but I don't understand it.

In my recent tribulations getting Linux based tools working at work I've gotten a lot of good answers just by searching here. But since this question is very subjective, and details are important, my searches just weren't quite working out.
I've been using Linux off and on since 94, Slackware... a stack of floppies as long as my arm. I say off and on because I've always been of the opinion that Windows had a superior selection of ready-to-run desktop software... I still think that's true, but since I'm pushing open source more at work ($44K a year to use Exchange? Seriously?) I figure it's time to throw in behind it at home, too.
My biggest hangup with a total transition is gaming. I can handle my desktop suite needs just fine with Open/LibreOffice and Seamonkey. The limited work I do with graphics and sound can be handled just as easily with existing open source applications (though I'm not really sure about video playback, yet. Finding good codecs for HD video that work well with Linux based players, WMP and Windows Media Center is kind of a pain in the ass.) Hell, pretty much everything I do on a day to day basis... a drastic improvement over 5 years ago.
The games, on the other hand, are killer. Two of my off and on favorites, World of Warcraft and EVE Online are reportedly well supported by Wine. A good chunk of my game collection, though, was purchased through Steam, which I understand has some issues with Wine. And there's also concerns about future games that get released ... some of which is offset by the constant improvement in Wine and similar packages.
What I'm considering as an option is simply going with Xen for a paravirt Windows guest and running my games in that. What I need to know, though, is how well will that conceivably work? Will a Windows XP or 7 (which one would I want?) guest in a Xen DomU have better gaming support than Wine provides? What other things am I not taking in to consideration that I should? Should I use Xen or whatever the free VMWare is (I'd prefer Xen, open source and all, but it VMWare would really do the job where Xen wouldn't...)?
AMD Phenom X4 955
8GB RAM
SATA 30GB SSD
2TB RAID storage which I would prefer to keep as a single chunk, but meh... it's 2TB.
I have installed CentOS 5.3-5.5, FC 13 and 14. Ubuntu, Debian and., all the major distros and all the hardware is supported by the prebuilt kernels.
Actual uses: MP3 rip/playback. Web browsing. Quicken. Occasional word processing/spreadsheet, media conversion including the dreaded DVD ripping (I buy the DVDs for my kids, but they can't touch them :P), and... hell, whatever it is that we do with our desktops and take for granted. Games. Lots of DirectX games.

I have just got an Nvidia GT240 card and have for the first time set up dual monitors (An LCD @ 1024x768 and a projector @ 1152x864) I have them set up as twinview so I can drap/drop between the two and run compiz across the two. My problem is in running some games (Hedgewars, Powermanga, I have no tomatoes) These games run full screen and currenlty span the two monitors which is not workable as they are not side by side and run different resolutions. How can I tweak these apps to run on only one monitor without altering the xorg.conf and losing the functions mentioned above? I have found a resolution setting in Hedgewars but it only give one option and does not allow me to overtype it.

So some flash games don't seem to play nice with Ubuntu. Some do. I have no problem playing Cursed Treasure, but when I try to play, say, Learn To Fly, the opening page loads, but then when I click the "play" link, it does nothing.
Also, using the latest release of Ubuntu.

I have an old compaq presario 2100 (amd athlon) laptop that came with windows xp. it can't deal with xp any more so i put mandriva on it and let my mother in law use it for card games. now it won't even boot mandriva.
it says something about a 1720 SMART error. i ran the hdd test and it gave me a code: 1# imminent failure.
it will run mandriva off the install disk but I want to make this as easy as possible for my mother in law to play her games. I don't think she'd like to deal with all the steps involved with running it off the install disk. the problem with that is that the install wizard runs every time i turn it on.
will i be able to do something to the effect that my mother in law will be able to easily boot up and play her card games on the laptop?

I have a problem that pops up with some games, sometimes: sauerbraten, lugaru, and nexuiz being the ones that pop to mind.
The problem is that when the game starts/loads the mouse "cursor" in the game will not work... the thing is frozen. The "fix" is to jump to a virtual terminal, via alt-ctrl-1, and restart KDM, then I log back into the session and everything is working swell.
This problem does not occur in Osmos, World of Goo, Warzone 2100, or the Linux Ryzom client.
I thought about adding an explicit /etc/init.d/kdm restart in my /etc/kde4/kdm/Xreset file, but that seems too draconian.
This has been a recurring problem on several machines with several 7000, 8000, and 9000 series Nvidia cards running under the proprietary driver, on both 32-bit and 64-bit AMD processors ever since Lenny and up through Wheezy. And it occurs on the following desktop/windowing environments: KDE4.4, icewm, fluxbox, blackbox, E17.
I would guess that it's a driver issue or a driver+xorg configuration issue.
PS: Please don't suggest that I should use the open source driver.

I presume there is something in the JWM window manager - or Puppy Linux Lupu 5.01 itself that is conflicting with the normal loading of GMPLAYER....
I would like to know how to troubleshoot, and fix this problem if possible (even a workaround would be great).

I installed Debian recently, and everything seems to be working fine, except some video games are unusually slow compared to what they would normally be. Tremulous, for example, worked reasonably fine on this computer with Windows XP, but now (Debian) for some reason it's laggy even on the title screen.
Something wrong with my video drivers?
All of the information I know:
The computer is a Dell Dimension 3000
RAM: 256mb? Gnome System Monitor says 247.1mb, SWAP: about 730mb
Processor: Intel Celeron 2.40GHz
HD: 25gb out of a 40gb HD free, and an external 1tb HD with about 920gb free
Debian Release 6.0 (squeeze)
Kernel Linux 2.6.32-5-686
GNOME 2.30.2 (I've tried LXDE also, no noticeable change)
Only linux on the machine.
glxinfo told me this:
Code:
64 GLX Visuals
128 GLXFBConfigs:
