Slackware :: Connection In Various Native Games (13.1 32-bit) - Can't Join Multiplayer Matches
Jan 22, 2011
in the LQ Forums i am experiencing a few connection issues under Slackware 13.1 and came here after lots of searching, and unsuccessful fixes so here it is.
- Problem: I can't join multiplayer matches in various games (Running natively in Linux) some of these are: Open Arena, Urban Terror, Cube 2: Sauerbraten, Quake Live and Planeshift.
- What i did: I tried joining multiplayer matches in these (and a few other) games without success, i get the server list, it says it is connecting and in most of these i get the message: Awaiting Gamestate (except for Planeshift which just fails and Cube 2 that doesn't show anything). Didn't find a fix in the internet and tried some possible ones without success. I even tried forwarding ports on my router/modem, turning on and off UPnP, setting up a firewall and nothing.
- Exceptions: I tried one of these games in my Windows XP 32-bit boot and the same game (Urban Terror) worked, same version number (but the native Windows version) and i could play without lag and any other issue. Cube 2: Sauerbraten manages to connect and lets me play (under Slack) but only on some servers maybe a port or authentication problem i guess. As said the only message is Awaiting Gamestate in every game except for Cube 2 that doesn't show anything and just doesn't connects and Planeshift that says it wasn't able to reach the server. This Slackware install is pretty fresh i installed it day 1 of January 2011 with the additional packages during the installation and the only firewall which i set up today was a IPTABLES one generated here but the issues are present since the day i installed Slack (but only in it) the problem persists with and without the firewall.
As far as i remember i didn't have these issues when i installed Ubuntu so i guess it's a configuration that's lacking. I am connected to the internet through a router (with wireless enabled for my notebook) with a cable (eth0), DHCP, Dynamic IP. - Notes: I installed the PCMCIA thing during the installation and i CAN use the internet (browsing, pidgin, e-mail, .....) normally. Sorry if i wrote too much i tried to give as much information as possible and sorry for any grammar errors, English is not my first language.

Since I have upgraded to KDE 4.5 I can't play games (native or wine) without disabling composite before start playing.When I start a game its window begins to shiver (to tremble or to shake... not sure) and so I have to disable composite first and then relaunch the game.I never had to do this in KDE 4.4.

I'm running WoW in Ubuntu 9.10 with wine. My screen's native resolution is 1920x1200. When I play WoW in Windows I set it to 1920x1080 in fullscreen because that aspect ratio allows me to see more of the playing field. In windows it doesn't stretch the screen so I have a black bar at the top and bottom of my screen.
When I set it to 1920x1080 under wine, it stretches my screen. Is there any way I can make it not stretch?
I tried searching forums/google but I couldn't find anything related to my question.

I run Ubuntu with two screens. When I'm playing a Windows game through WINE, I enable "Emulate a virtual desktop" for that game and set the desktop size to that of one monitor. With this setup, I can Alt-Tab and switch between Compiz desktops while still running the game in full screen. However, I also play some native games (Sauerbraten and Tremulous in particular). To play them full screen, I have to disable one monitor, as it's hard to hit your target when they're split across two monitors. I also cannot reliably use Alt-Tab and desktop switching when a native game is in full screen mode. Is there an program that can "wrap" full screen native applications in a window of a set size like WINE's virtual desktop does for Windows applications?

After having recompiled libmixmod and then recompiled SDL_Mixer to get support for certain music formats I now find myself unable to start a lot of SDL programs that were previously working perfectly fine -- even some programs that do not use any sound functionality at all will not work.I get the following error when I attempt to execute my project which was previously working fine:"XDM authorization key matches an existing client!Error: Unable to init SDL: Couldn't open X11 display"I also get the same error when I try to execute a lot of other programs, many of them not my own. It seems that the error is not caused by using SDL_Mixer either, as some pure graphics demos without any audio functionality also give me this message, and when I removed all audio features from my program to try to isolate the issue it still gave that error upon execution

I am trying to get DVD's to play in 13.1. I have downloaded Eric's latest VLC, installed libdvdcss, libdvdread, all the gst-plugins I could get and I with VLC the playback is unwatchable, with color mismatch, audio tearing.. all kinds of nasties. The same DVD will play in my win7 laptop as well as my blu ray player. Other players give either audio and no video or tell me that the DVD is encrypted and they can't go further.

Is there a way to determine the native resolution of the current console display device from the shell?
I know I can get the current console settings, but I'm looking for the native screen size of the display hardware, whether or not it conflicts with settings.

I use Slackware64 Current and since a few weeks, X doesn't automatically apply the native resolution (1680x1050) of my LCD screen, instead it uses a resolution of 1024x768.Since I bought this monitor in 2009, It had always worked as expected, and it's only since lately that I experienced this problem.After X has started, I can change the resolution through the kde tool but after an X restart everything is forgotten. Apparently, the correct resolution is detected but it is not applied.
My monitor is HDMI1.I don't use a xorg.conf file as it had always worked well this way, so I would like to track down this regression.I have an intel GM45 chipset.I have tried Mesa 7.9 and 7.10 in case.

I am trying to understand the join command. I wish to join two files:
Code:
$ cat test1
a 0
b 2.51
c 19.85
$ cat test2
a 0
b 2.51
[Code]...
this is great but I do not understand why join ignores the -e flag and fails to insert FOO in the empty field.

Installed Alien Arena and OpenArena and they have the same issue.When I try to load the server list or press refresh, my wireless connection drops and the game says no response from the master list. This never happened on Hardy/Intrepid.I am on Lucid.It seems to only be on native Quake-based games, as other games such as Wesnoth and Quake-based games in WINE work fine. It's getting frustrating to be unable to play these games online.
Code:
michael@laptop:~$ openarena
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)

I run Slackware-Current and use slackpkg to keep it updated. I also read the ChangeLog in case slackpkg misses something. After reading today's ChangeLog, I ran 'slackpkg update' and 'slackpkg upgrade-all', but the rebuilt bsd-games package isn't showing in the update list. Is anybody else having this problem?
Code:
root@slackware:/home/steven# slackpkg upgrade bsd-games
Checking local integrity... DONE
Looking for bsd-games in package list.
No packages match the pattern for upgrade. Try:
/usr/sbin/slackpkg install|reinstall
I installed the slackpkg 2.81.1 update (overwriting all my config files with the *.new ones), and I'm still having the same problem.

I've made a bootable USB with 10.3 live CD. I can boot successfully using a 10.3 live CD as long as the USB stick is not plugged in, but if I try to boot from the USB stick, or from the CD when the USB stick is plugged in, I get "No devices matches MBR identifier: !" where the bit after the colon is 2 spaces followed by the exclamation mark. I've seen this message reported elsewhere but never with a blank for the MBR id.I'm running on a Dell Insprion 9100 with 1.5G RAM.

I'm attempting to use REGEX to isolate media (video and audio) essence that relate to alias/reference Quicktime movies. The Quicktime movie filename (excluding ".mov" can always be found in the media-essence filename.Stages of my process are:I cache the contents of a text file into an array ($file). This text file/array contains a list of Quicktime movies and media essence. Essence for each Quicktime movie is contained in this text file. An example text file is below:

I'm not able to find a thread that matches my problem. It must be a software/hardware bug, because sound works normally on a 2nd computer running the same Debian version (lenny), and it also work on the 1st computer running Debian (squeeze). - In fact the sound was working on the 1st computer in one installation of Debian lenny, but not on a 2nd (same) installation on the same computer. - Given that I had fiddled with its settings (for a different reason), and couln't fix it, I decided that the software had now a bug, deleted everything on the partition and cloned the working Linux on it. It had the same problem, so old me thougth that I had a virus in the MBR and wrote zeros all over the H/D; I then checked that the MBR (512 bytes) consisted just of zeros, and reinstalled vista, Debian lenny and Debian squeeze on the totally clean drive. The problem is still there also on a 2nd lenny installation that I tried, but squeeze works well. It's possible that the lenny installation that was previously working, was doing so due to the magic of Debian-update, but I don't know. The guilty computer is a Compaq SR5760AN (mobo pegatron violet M2N78-LA) with nVidia 0774 chipset and realtek HDA integrated audio. If it's relevant, the DVD drive is HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH15L, video is Radeon HD3450, and CPU is AMD Phenom 9650 quad core.If I use alsaconf, it comes up with 'snd-hda-intel' but there seem not to be any intel chip on the machine, and squeeze works and lenny DID also work.

I'm trying to create a program that will go through a list (one word at each line) from the file pwdlst.txt and try to log-in with the passwords entered in the file. When the program tries with a password that matches the current one, the program will stop and print out "The password is: %s" % password. This is what I created so far:
Code: Select allimport urllib
import urllib2
import cookielib
[code]...
get the error and print when the log-in attempt is deniedgo through the list (pwdlst.txt) and try each password one at a timestop the program when the password matches

When I do a yum or an initial load of vsftpd, I get binary that works. I got the source file "vsftpd-2.0.5-12.el5_3.1.src.rpm" from [URL] to make a change to add chown_upload_mode to version 2.0.5
With no changes to the source, the program works but does not respond to the service command properly. See [URL]
How do I get the source of vsftpd that matches the binary distribution?

To put it simply I want the egrep command to return matches for a group rather than the whole pattern itself.For example:
Code:
egrep "reals([0-9]+?m[0-9]+?.[0-9]{3}s)" tmp
returns
"real 0m1.001s"
But I want it to return just "0m1.001s", the portion is the group. I can just apply egrep to whatever the first command returns but is there an easier way to do it?

I have been using comm to compare two simple column lists, and suppress items that were contained in the second list (suppression list). This was extremely simple and basic, however now list1 has two columns, and I must compare the second column in list1 with my suppression list.
Basically I need to compare my user list and suppression list to suppress any users that exist in the suppression list, then remove the second column (md5).I wasn't sure the fastest way to make comparisons if there was a similar command like comm, or if I needed to create an array of users and see if any of them matched the suppression list one by one. This seemed like it would be pretty process intensive. Anyone have any less cumbersome ideas?

This seems like a relatively simple question, but I haven't been able to figure it out from the documentation after a couple of hours of searching. I'm running postfix on my mail server, and the vast majority of my spam has the sender address spoofed to match the recipient address. I've got spamassassin up and running, and very little gets through that, so it's not a serious problem, but if possible I would like to be able to reject the mail before it arrives to reduce the system load.
Mail is sent locally via webmail, relaying is denied, so the only way that mail should be sent from the domain is via a connection from localhost. The basic idea I'm thinking of is if the MAIL FROM sender claims to be an address at the receiving domain, but is connected from a remote IP, the mail should be rejected.

I am certain that the problem is not with the CD. It can boot on my laptop. It's the RC2 of OpenSuse 11.3 Gnome. When I try to boot on my PC, I get the error "No devices matches MBR identifier: 0x502eadc3".I had some problems when installing Ubuntu, with HDD partitioning because it's SATA3. I tried several things, chandged from IDE to ACHI in Bios, then after it didn't work I simply plugged out all of the Sata cables but still the same. It should be because of Bios settings I guess.I have Gigabyte X58A-UD3R mainboard. Please help, I really love OpenSuse
