when i try to download an emulator from the ubuntu software center i get this message
Requires installation of untrusted packages The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.
but i downloaded the same programs on my other ubuntu computer
The problem I have is that I am not able to get ANY of my Emulators to work in Ubuntu.
I have been trying for months now, but there isn't a single reliable emulator that works on Ubuntu.
There always seems to be problems with lagging, and sound issues that never seem to get resolved.
This is beyond frustrating because Gaming is the one thing i need to have on my computer, yet it is the only thing I'm not able to get working.
Do any of you know of any alternative suggestions to fix this problem?
I have tried EVERY available emulator for both Windows (Used on Wine) and Ubuntu.
Is there some kind of general setting for Wine that I am overlooking?
Here are a list of Consoles I want to play:
- Super Nintendo
- Nintendo
- Sega Genesis
- Sega Master System
- Nintendo 64
- Playstation
- Gameboy Advanced and Original
For some reason, gnome-terminal, terminator, mrxvt, rxvt, tilda and a few other terminal applications I downloaded are unable to register the 'a' key on my keyboard. However, every other application is able to register my keypresses perfectly. Does anybody know what might be causing this, or what logs/diagnostic tools I could use to find out the reason for this odd behavior?
View 2 Replies View RelatedLooking at building a system that basically just runs emulators (nes, snes, etc). Haven't messed around with linux for a couple years so I thought this might be a great project to get back into it with. Maybe.
Questions I have-
- How easy is it to have a linux installation that just boots directly into the emulator? Since it will be hooked up to a tv, I just want it to be as easy as turning on the power button and then I'm off.
- Is there a stripped down linux distro that would be best suited for this type of setup? Really any recommendations for a distro would be great.
- Its running on old hardware- 900mhz athlon, 512mb ram, geforce2 video. Will this be a problem if I'm trying to run something like i've described?
Just tried and failed miserably to get an Nvidia 6200 based graphics card to play nice with my machine.After putting my ATI Radeon 9200 back in the box, my emulators have gone all kinds of strange.
ZSNES will crash as soon as I attempt to load a game full screen and will leave the screen resolution at the resolution ZSNES was running in (800 x 600, for example.GENS again will alter the screen resolution to whatever it was running in when the emulator is minimised. I'm running 10.10 with 1gb Ram, 128mb ATI Radeon card, P4 3ghz. Was all fine until I tried the new card and I did a fresh install only last week .
Just wondering if there were any NES, SNES, etc emulators compatable with PowerPC Debian?
Not entirely sure if they will run well, but can't hurt to give it a try.

I'm looking for a terminal emulator that does the same thing as gnome-terminal or konsole, except written in Java.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHere at home I have several Ubuntu installations, mine, the kids computers and a couple of laptops. What I'm looking for is a solution or a pointer in the right direction to setup on our local Ubuntu server a sort of cache. Each day each Ubuntu on the network, checks for updates and downloads, and installs. What I'm looking for is a way for one machine to download the update and then the others to download from the local resource.
A sort of local cache to try and minimise everyone downloading straight from the net for pretty much the same updates. I did a emerge cache many years ago when I was using Gentoo, so I'm wondering what I can use/do here with Ubuntu as we are all loving this distro now.
I'm new to Linux and these forums, but programmed in C++ on other systems. I discovered several Linux terminal emulators don't render Right to Left languages properly and so as an exercise I writing my own. It based on GtkTextView widget. Basically is working, but the shell won't issue prompts because it doesn't think my terminal emulator is actually a terminal (isatty returns false)

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen I tried to download a installation DVD of F10 for my new thinkPad T500 laptop.The architecture of the processor should be i686 and I downloaded the DVD image Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso. I understand i686 has backward compatability with i386. But i have following questoins:
(1) why we don't have an installation for i686?
(2) If I install the i386 package, do I get performance downgrades?
(3) Also, why the live DVD has this file called F10-i686-Live.iso?
(4) Finally, I always get message like "Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStruct
/usr/bin/xterm: cannot load font -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1" when I use X application. What's the problem here? BTW, I used Fedora core 8 before I didnt have this problem.
I am at a university where my bandwidth is severely capped. I can start several other computers near me and download at the limited speed simultaneously. Is there any way for me to share the download between the computers to get the cumulative speed?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 karmic using the .iso file from the official website (burned to a CD) but I have a problem... When I boot into Ubuntu, no drivers are listed for my wireless network (as a matter of fact none are listed when according to the hardware devices ). The thing is...
When I use the CD and select "try without changes to computer", Ubuntu detects my proprietary drivers (Broadcom 802.11g network adapter & Broadcom 440x10/100 integrated controller) and allows me to install it (and then restart).
So my question is, how can I install the proprietary driver to work on Ubuntu (perhaps saving the driver using the CD and allowing the settings to be saved on boot)?
P.S., I can only access internet from Vista & using the installation option 'try without changes to computer' from the CD.
I've decided to attempt a dual boot on my pc. My host OS is Windows 7 and I'm considering Ubuntu 10.10. I've never partitioned a hard drive before, Is v.10.10 a good choice or should I use an earlier version? I don't have an Ubuntu CD so I'm going to download it from the internet. Any recommendations on download sites? My processor is 64-bit. Should I download a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Ubuntu?

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust went to download 8.04.4 and to use the torrent. Guess what, the links on the page point to 8.04.3 torrent download which gets you a 404 error. To get by this, go into the address window of your browser and change each 8.04.3 to 8.04.4 and you will get the torrent.
Just thought I would pass this on if anyone was trying to get it via the torrent. If anyone is watching, maybe the links should be updated on the download pages.
Just want to make sure I am not crazy. I am downloading the upgrade right now (9 p.m. time Eastern U.S.), and not getting much faster than 31 kbps on the download. Regular web pages are loading quickly as normal. Are the Canonical servers overtaxed?
