i've installed 'ghost recon' which i downloaded via torrent. i open the executables with right-click and clicking executable, i guess this just used WINE automatically. it seems to download fine. i downloaded into a folder i called 'c:desktop' which i thought would make the files end up on my regular desktop, but i can't find them anywhere. when i run autorun.exe from the cd it opens, but when i click 'play ghost recon' is gives a dialog box saying it can locate the cd.
Im new to Linux, so wanted to ask something.I need to install a Curl Library for my Platform in order to run my Game Server.But how do i install it ??Already found the files: [URL]..I have Linux Ubuntu Lucid (10.04)
[URL] at the bottom it says run that command in terminal but in terminal it says E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? what do I do?
I'm trying to install a SDK iso image onto an embedded linux platform. I was able to mount the image on the platform without problems. I also created a symbolic link called "bash" in the bin directory and had that point to busybox to satisfy the first line of code in the installer: "#!/bin/bash". However, when I run the installer, I get an error: "installer: applet not found"
I get the same error when I type "bash" on the command line. Is there a way to fix this? Here is the first few lines of code that causes the error:
I'm trying to get the dynamips/dynagen packages installed on my freshly built centos5 machine. The hardware is AMD X64 and I am not able to find an RPM for this after careful searching. (Dag has packages for the i386 platform, but not x64). I have downloaded the source code, but am leery of installing that way given potential problems with stability and maintenance. So I have a couple of questions:
--does anyone know where I can find an rpm for dynamips on the x64 platform?
--has anyone installed this app from source under Centos5?
--the configure, make, make install routine does not seem to be working for me in any case. I'm pretty good at handling rpms, but I don't have much experience with compiling from source. I would love a Centos specific cheat sheet on that if you have one.
Here is some information about my machine:

As I stated in the title, can I, and if so, does anyone know how to install a game (like Mass Effect) on Ubuntu through wine that way it will sync up with my steam account? Also so when I do get up to ME2, my decisions will be transferred over?
I had windows 7 and I was addicted to play GTA san andreas multi-player. It is still in my computer > C:/ PROGRAM FILES/ROCKSTAR GAMES/samp.exe I want to play that now but when I click on samp.exe it opens with File Roller 2.30.1.1
This game is Java based. After rebooting the game works, but on ending the game several notification boxes remain. If these boxes are not closed in the reverse order that the game opened them, it is no longer possible to close them. Only by killing the Java processes can these notifications be made to close. Also after playing the game, even if all these notifications are closed it is many times necessary to kill the Java process(es) in order to get the game to load again at a later time. I am currently using Slackware 1.30, but a similar problem has existed in several of the past releases.
I was wondering if Ubuntu supports webcams, I mean I want to buy a webcam (for example logitec or intex) but their specifications tells me that the drivers are only supported on Windows platform.
I tried to install valgrind to my local directory (I don't have privilege to install it under root) by doing the following 3 steps:
(1) ./configure --prefix=/my/local/directory
(2) make
(3) make install
when I run ./valgrind ls -l as instructed by README, I got this error: valgrind: failed to start tool 'memcheck' for platform 'x86-linux': No such file or directory
I have been developing real-time server applications in Visual C++ and C#.Net using Visual Studio IDE on Windows platform. Now due to organizational needs, we are planning to migrate to Linux Platform. provide an alternative IDE for Visual Studio in Linux.
i have windows partition i'm unable to access through dual boot. i'm wondering if i could copy a game over to wine (warcraft 3) as i don't have the discs available.
I would like to use my Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic system to scan and clean viruses from Windows based HDD. I have KlamAV, AVG, and AVAST. I couldn't get F-prot to work. I don't find a debian package of it and don't know how to install tar.gz and the tutorials don't help a lot. Are there other antivirus solutions which are good for cleaning Windows OS but work on Linux/WINE? I wonder if I can install antivirus software in WINE and scan with no problem the hard disks.
I'm trying to persuade my classmate migrating to linux but they always fall back to windows when homeworks require creating GUI (graphical user interface) applications. Not only because C# and Window forms/WPF is so sissily easy to use. But some teachers only test homework on Window machine. I have tried pyGTK and wxPython but they have some flaws. wxPython seem a little bit messy with so many look-alike class name and it's ID based event binding is somewhat awkward. pyGTK seems nice and neat but it doesn't have Mac port yet.
Do you know any game engines or game studios that can make adventure games, for instance in the style of Myst (1st person) or in the style of old Sierra games (3rd person), like King's Quest, Space Quest, etc.?I've seen AGI Studio, but it is too old, I'd like to use more modern graphics (although there is no need for 3D).
Last month I installed (not upgrade) squeeze in place of lenny on my dual boot laptop where the other OS is windows 7 Home basic (both C and D drives). I just noticed it today that while I can get any file from the windows to my squeeze I am not permitted to put any file to windows. As far as I remember I was not asked during squeeze installation whether the windows drives would be read-only drives. This difficulty was not faced when I had lenny. Can this problem be remedied now without going through a re-installation?
I have installed opensuse 11.2 without graphical interface. Configured whole server with ftp and hosting. This suses-server is in LAN with my home computer and without keyboard, monitor and mouse. What to use to connect from my Windows platform to terminal of suse so I don't need extra hardware?
installing ubuntu onto a windows system without erasing windows. I know there is wubi, but I ask you whether also with the ubuntu live cd I am able to install ubuntu, into a separate partition, without erasing windows.
It was said that Win 7's Virtual PC is not suitable for installing Ubuntu 10.04 Is there any method at all that it will work? The following is the scenario I ran into: The first time Ubuntu 10.04 installation CD-R boots up, it asked for the Language, and "Install Ubuntu" and then the screen has vertical green bars and then the VPC just closed. The 2nd or 3rd time it booted up, there is no asking of Language or "Install Ubuntu" and just shut down the VPC, sometimes with vertical green bars. I even created another new hard drive and same thing happened. And created VPC 02, and same thing happened. Created VPC 03 with a fixed hard drive size of 60GB and same thing happened.
I am using both win 7 and ubuntu using grub. If I connect to internet in ubuntu its working fine but if I connect to net using win 7 internet is not working. However if I connect internet in ubuntu and restart win 7 without switching off router I can access net in win7 even if I switch off router and start again its working fine. But when I shut down system and router and switch on in win7 its not connection.
When I bought my computer from a friend, he told me that it had 60Gbs in it. Well, when I began to install Ubuntu Linx 9.10 I came to the point of decission of whether or not to delete Windows XP or run Ubuntu 9.10 along with Windows XP. I had a decision to make and I honestly thought I had enough free space to run both. I kept on having problems bringing up Ubuntu. It would go so far and then it would freeze. Well I updated GNOME and I was able to login and try a few things. I of course downloaded and installed the program that I needed to run the program that was running my online radio station. I also downloaded a scanner for to check virusus. I then tried to download some other softwear but I deleted them and kept the scanner and the other program that plays my radio station. Since I did that I logged out and shut down the computer. I haven't been able to get to the point to where I can login again. It freezes. How can I add more memory of free space to run Ubutu. If there is no way of doing that how can I delete Ubuntu and start all over again so that I can again install Ubuntu Linux 9.10 and take off Windows XP so I can run Ubuntu. I really do like the Ubuntu's system. It is so very quick bringing up websites. I have a 32bit download on the CD. I found out the computer was only 16Gbs.

I have an Acer laptop, on which a I have Ubuntu installed with no disk partitioning. I may need to install Windows 7 on this machine but have no desire to stop using Ubuntu for normal use. Is it possible to create a partition to install Windows on, without changing my Ubuntu set up? Also, whilst I'm at it, I'd like to create a third partition for general data storage.
