Ubuntu :: How To Install - Run World Of Warcraft
Jul 25, 2010
how to install Ubuntu. I have only ran it as a partition and am not sure the process i need to go through to install it on a newly built machine. My second question is that when i partitioned it ( was kinda giving it a test run to see if i could cope with the change from windows) I remember not being able to run world of warcraft. I couldn't get wine to run it. I want to run starcraft II and I'm not sure how thats going to go over. Is that going to give me a problem? I realize these should probably be separate threads but i figured these could be answered relatively easily.

Question: How could you possibly install World of Warcraft CD disc onto Ubuntu 10.10, I've tried installing Dragon Age Origins onto Ubuntu 10.10 but says that the CD was not an executable bit?
I've done some research & went into the settings of the disc & tried to allow as an executable bit, but failed to succeed! Sucks but that�s reality, so.. anyways if you have any solutions about this problem please don't hesitate to let me know

I am very new to the Linux/Ubuntu Platform (have used it now for 8 days), I am primarily a gamer when it comes to my computer. Because of this I have always been a windows user for compatibility reasons. A week ago my friend was telling me how awesome Ubuntu is and the background story behind it. Intrigued I tried it out and fell in love with it (good thing too because I accidentally killed my windows boot and all the files on that HD during installation). I am primarily a World of Warcraft gamer, and have gotten it to work through the great online community and guides out there using WINE. Now the problem is, I have only found two guides to try and install the Curse Client [URL] a program that manages your add-ons, both guides [URL] do not currently work no matter how i follow it.

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 on my mac as a separate partition. I have World of Warcraft installed on the mac side. I want to use PlayOnLinux to run the game from the mac partition. Has anybody done this? If so, how would I go about making this work?

I am fairly new to the Linux community however I have done my research on this issue and tried every fix I could think of (registry edits, wine config changes, config.wtf alterations).
All of these things got me where I am today. WoW will run in OpenGL mode for a couple seconds after loading my character and then wine crashes with this error from the Terminal code...

Just updated to Ubuntu 11.04 this morning, and was immediately overwhelmed. The new panel layout and sidebar thingy looks pretty sweet at first glance, but I can't find a durn thing. :s But to the point, went to run World of Warcraft after the update and the launcher starts, then after hitting play a fatal error pops up.
Code:
This application has encountered a critical error:
Fatal Exception!
Program: Z:home imGamesWorld of WarcraftWow.exe
ProcessID: 70
Exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 0023:F751D270
The instruction at "0xF751D270" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". And then of course the other Blizzard error nonsense. I know this isn't so much a Ubuntu thing, but has anyone else maneuvered around this or have any ideas for a fix?

My system is Ubuntu 9.10, WINE 1.0.1-0ubuntu8, ATI HD4350 with ATI proprietary driver, Intel Core 2 Quad, 3 GB RAM
I'm trying to figure out what is the problem. I used Ubuntu 8.10 in the past and never encounter a problem like this. It keep freezing the computer 3 to 5 times a day. I check varies of sys.log, kernel.log, any kind of log you could think of and they not showing any reason why it froze. This is the only last thing it wrote because it froze
Code:
Jan 29 12:57:58 sean-desktop wpa_supplicant[936]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Jan 29 12:59:58 sean-desktop wpa_supplicant[936]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Jan 29 13:01:58 sean-desktop wpa_supplicant[936]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
This is always what it ended up with every time it froze. I check the log and it usually on that message. and I switched back to the previous kernel and assumed it the newest kernel causing problem. I had this problem before in my Ubuntu 8.10, so i switched to the previous kernel and the problem is solved. So on my ubuntu 9.10, I switched to the previous kernel, it still have the same result. I'm running out of ideas. I been thinking about switching to 8.10. The reason why I like 9.10 because of ext4 support

I have a bit of a problem that I don't understand and would like some help please - I will try and explain the best way I can. I installed Ubuntu using the WUBI installer and so I can access my Windows partition in /host. Using Wine I can run World of Warcraft by going to /host/Program Files/World of Warcraft/WoW.exe But I would like to create a link on my desktop to that file so I do not have to keep going to that path everytime.
The Problem - when I click make link and drag it to my desktop I double click the file (expecting it to just act like a windows shorcut) but it doesn't - it creates some of the files that are in the world of warcraft folder on the desktop and then fails to open with message: Failed to open archive dataart etc...its like it is creating a copy of files on my desktop of what is already in the WoW folder.

I run openSUSE 11.2 (kernel 2.6.31.12) and I use Wine 1.1.38 to play World of Warcraft from the konsole terminal application. For the most part this works okay, but there is one small issue that continues to annoy me:
Look at your keyboard (assuming standard QWERTY no-name keyboard) - see the key just left of your Backspace key? That key is only partially working for me in WoW. I cannot bind it to any action bar button in-game, with or without addons enabled. For some reason the key works fine when entering text into the chat console though.
I have used xev to get a bit of data on the key itself - not that it is that informative to me though, but the absence of the issue when playing WoW through Windows would suggest that it is somehow endemic to my Linux configuration:
Code:
KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4a00001,
root 0x1a7, subw 0x0, time 6474080, (159,-10), root:(1364,15),
state 0x10, keycode 21 (keysym 0xfe51, dead_acute), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c2 b4) ""
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: True
[Code]...

I am running the latest Ubuntu on my HP Paviljon Slimline PC with AMD Phenom 9750 Quadcore Processor and 4GiB Ram (2.4Ghrz). code...
When i play Music or Video i have no problems at all.
But.
Have World of Warcraft installed trough Wine and all is working perfect. The thing is that i hear a weird chirping sound when i log in the game (1 time) and then i hear a sort of ticking sound on the background and it stays there no matter if a disable music or not.
Have also tried all 3 settings in sound config (ingame) eg. System Default, Pulse Audio Software ((Null)) and ALSA Software on Default ((null)).
The weird ticking sound is staying.
Anyone knows a solution of have a hint where i must look to solve this ?

I have a problem with WoW 3.3, when it starts I get a Black Screen, but I can hear the sound, and the windows responds to keypresses (like, pressing Esc exits the game, o when I press enter I hear the sound of logging in).I have a Lenovo G530, with Intel GMA X4500 as display processor. I think that the drivers are working fine, as I can run all the OpenGL games without problems. I have Ubu 9.10 and Wine 1.2. I've tried many solutions posted on this forums and WowWiki.When I run the game from a console with wine "/home/xxxx/Storage/Games/wow3/Wow.exe" -opengl -windowed, it outputs:
Code:
fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub
archive DataenGBpatch-enGB.MPQ opened

I've had many problems with Linux so far. Here's just one: I love Warcraft 3. So I bought Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne today. I installed them correctly with WINE and tried to open. It starts to open like it does at internet cafes, so I think its fine. But then the screen resolution keeps changing and it doesn't get anywhere.
Next problem:I ask my friend who has warcraft 3 on Linux. He says you don't have the right drivers. I go to System > Administrator > Hardware Drivers and as he said the applet said: "No proprietary drivers installed". My friend says to check the Video graphics card. But I don't see where i can find what model it is. My computer is Compaq presario CQ60 with the default video/graphics cards. I know nothing about drivers, If I can't find a solution ill probably reformat my computer to Windows 7.

I got a CD of JPG files from a photographer. Some of the files are not readable on my Ubuntu machine (they show up as X icons in the Nautilus file browser). I figured out that the reason is that they are not "world-readable" (and also not "group-readable") and they are owned by a user that does not exist on my machine. I am able to work around it by doing sudo nautilus Is there any easier way to do this? I am thinking some setting I can make on my system relating to the CD driver works?

I want to set up my laptop to allow connections to certain users with passwords from anywhere over the internet via SSH but I'm unsure about how I would go about doing this. I only thought it would be the case of setting up the open-ssh server on the laptop then, using my external IP and PuTTY on another PC outside of the network, connect to the external IP through port 22 so I tried this and wait 3 or 4 minutes or so and it says the connection times out.
I have also configured my router to use port forwarding but this doesn't seem to help much either and I have LAMP setup to allow connections to external IP : 80. The only thing I am able to do is access the laptop through the local network by using its internal IP's like 127.198.0.1:22 or something. I was wondering if anybody knows if and could tell me how I would do this as I really want to be able to access my home computer/laptop from my work sometimes, especially if I have work at home which is not with me at work or something.
I know this is possible but I'm quite new to this type of thing and don't know what is going wrong. Have I missed something or do I need to change any .conf files or anything?

i'm being slightly sarcastic i think it's safe to say i'm doing something wrong but i'm just at a loss as to what. as it stands banshee - doesn't recognise ipod songbird - doesn't handle album art and overwrites ALL existing art floola - doesn't support new itunes database rhythmbox - doesn't handle album art hipo - doesn't find ipod gtkpod - doesn't find ipod yamipod - doesn't handle album art
so it's not entirely invisible, i will confess i've spent the past 2 hours trying to work out why banshee, hipo and gtkpod all don't see the ipod when songbird, rhythmbox and yamipod do. podsleuth tells me it can't find any ipods, even on a rescan - when i've got the ipod connected. if i select "properties" on the Ipod when it's connected, i get this ..[URL].. it's frustrating because it drives me back to windows every time so i can use sharepod again, and invariably start all over again re-doing all the album art - again.
i've got a backup of all my music that i took directly from the ipod - it's on a seperate hard drive, so i can only hope and pray that sharepod writes out the album art as well.

Set Up:
1. Ubuntu 10.04 x64 on Acer Aspire NoteBook.
2. LAMP installed
3. Using an ADSL modem to connect to internet, make is "Nokia Siemens Residential Router 1600"
4. Modem LAN settings are as shown in the attachment picture.
5. So mostly my laptop is assigned the ip ranging from 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.10 as the router use NAT.
6. http://localhost, 127.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 or whatever my ip is, work fine to see my default Apache homepage in locally connected devices.
7. The IP which I find from [URL] should connect to my Apache homepage but instead it connects to my Router Interface/Configure panel as shown in image attached.
What I want:
1. My Apache home page accessible to outside world via my dynamic ip.

I need to install ubuntu or edubuntu (preferably) on an older computer (256 ram) whose cd rom is shot, but the USB ports work! The family has 2 kids and the parents are very computer illiterate and know NO English. The kids' future is dependent on learning English. The grandfather is illiterate in his language! They are not down and out people, but they could use some help, if you know what I mean! I do have an external DVDRW drive and 2 computers where Ubuntu Maverick and Lucid have been installed. I will be about 300 km from them to give support. I have 2 days Monday to Wednesday next week to install Ubuntu or edubuntu.
I read on the internet 3 solutions, one of them offering a USB fix, which I am not 100% clear on: [URL] I do not know how to program and am far more comfortable around a GUI, even though I sometimes venture off using the terminal (albeit, copying and pasting codes that other provides and that often I only get half the meaning of). The USB stick option seems to be one of the best solution at this time because I have tested it in the past! The computer has suddenly crashed (I had installed Windows in a multiple user/password mode), but one of the kids (older) was using games from friends' usbs (maybe full of virii)! Maybe the crash is a hardware crash as surges are common in the area. (I will be able to check for that using some kind of software if I can boot the comp.) After installing Ubuntu succesfully on two more recent computers already, I think Ubuntu or edubuntu might be the best solution for this situation. I am also 300 KM from being able to help out these people!
I have a few questions at this time. If the option of basically using one computer's image (ubuntu Maverick) that I have installed with all the packages that come with it (solution 1) is a viable one, how am I going to deal with the difference in hardware between the two computers. DOn't they need "drivers" and packages related to these specific components? Could I use the external dvd drive? If so, how can I get the old computer to recognize it. Assuming I can make it work again, would I need to download (beforehand) the windows drivers/files needed? Install them which might help if I want to use it to install the ISO image. I am not thinking about a dual boot since space is an issue and windows is a bad option anyway (virii).

one is whats the best way to connect to my home pc from another pc out there in the world? be on a windows or linux machine and remote into my home pc. Im using ubuntu 10.10. the other question is, i got a big family who aren't computer savvy at all. Is there a way to remotely assist them if they are on windows or mac. im looking for something similar to the windows remote assistance. With both users being able to see and control the desktop. with the hosts permission. something simple enough so it wont be a whole process to walk them threw to even get connected to in the first place.

So having recently set up my server (including some disk space and ushare, and an additional laserjet printer) I was wondering if anyone had any experience of putting a multifunction printer into an ubuntu server and adding it locally (to the server) then to the networked computers....I know this printer works perfectly (the scan too!) when plugged directly into a machine's USB....I suppose my real question is....does anyone know anything about the scanner side of it?? is this going to work?? I reckon the printer side will (/should - i know the printer works and i know the server can share printers.....lol) but the scanner side is relatively new (when put into the context of shared from my HS.Please note:My server is just running vanilla (plain) ubuntu 9.10....and my compo's are 10.04 and 9.10....ubuntu ONLY network...

I have installed LAMP Server and I'm using it but now I want to connect it to the Internet. I haven't static IP but it isn't problem for me to change my address when I reset my router. I have already forwarded a port(81) and inserted `listen 81` and a public site that may use it but when I type my IP address it gets Time Out Error. When I set Listen address and VirtualHost to my public ip address it got this error while starting:
`(99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address 109.110.170.200:81`.
