I could've sworn this website used to have a games section, but I guess I'll just post this here. Is there any way to play Nethack in the regular terminal? I've tried the normal install, but it says that xterm is an unknown terminal type. I don't really want to play in xterm anyway; I like the regular terminal much better.

I can read and write data dvds, but cannot play a regular dvd now. I have libdvdcss installed. I am running Slackware 64 13.37 (just installed).
Code: MPlayer 20101218-4.5.1 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team Playing dvd://. libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.10 for DVD access libdvdread: Could not open /dev/dvd with libdvdcss. libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading
[Code]...
It can see the drive is there and /dev/sr0 is linked to /dev/dvd and I tried running as root to check if it was a permissions problem but got the same thing.
I have tried lots of different DVDs in the drive, same issue. I even switched out my DVD drive to another old DVD-ROM I had laying around, same thing.

I can't get this simple regular expression to work for matching emails: 'w*(?:.w*)*@w*(?:.w*)*w{2,5}'
It should be working as I have tested it with regex pal and it works just fine. I think there's a problem with optional character class but I'm not sure.
I am trying to install the game NetHack. I am having trouble installing the Vulture's eye graphic pack. How to do that? Any working link to a downloader.
I am considering upgrading from Fedora 14 to Fedora 15. At the moment, however, I am in a very promising nethack game, and a nethack game can take months. So I ask myself, are nethack savefiles in F14 and F15 compatible?
i have made a simple script to play music:#! /bin/bashcd ~/rollingstonesplay track??*wavBut when i execute it, it only plays the music in the background, and not in a terminal. How can i make it run in a terminal, so i can stop it without using the kill command, and go to next song by pressing ctrl+c?
I have done a minimal install of Ubuntu and installed MOCP.
I can run it okay but when i close the terminal window the music still plays. How can i set it so that when i close the terminal window that it stops the music aswell.
I have just installed the play command in my terminal and when I try to play an mp3 i get the error " no handler for file extension 'mp3' ".Am I required to create a default action that happens when an mp3 file is called, like opening and audio player, or do I just need to install some specific drivers?
After many days of trying to tweak Ubuntu 9.10 desktop i386. This subject will focus on my dvd drive. ...Here is what I have done, but I'm not sure what I did or still need to do, or to do different. ...
Basically the problem is, I can't play store bought DVDs, but I can play my copies of them.
When using MDPlayer that I added to Ubuntu, I can play the copies of my store bought DVDs, but not the originals. However, when using Ubuntu 9.10's movie player, it wont do anything and I'll have to do a force quit to close it.
I learned that this may because there is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution, as I'm sure you already knew. ...Yet, Most people have worked around these issues.
I came across the Medibuntu site: [url]
Running the Terminal, I added the bash command that adds Medibuntu's repositiry to Ubuntu. It also adds Medibuntu's GPG key to the keyring. (The sudo wget - etc etc etc --quiet update)
Then I jumped down to the... "This command should be run in the Terminal, after adding the repository:" ...And did that. (sudo sed -e 's/ etc etc etc /medibuntu.list)
i just installed 10.10 on my girls laptop (Acer Aspire 5735z) hoping it would fix the old problem i had with playing real dvd's. it didnt. it keeps saying "Could not read from Resource". when i try with VLC is say "Could not read from file". but if i put in a burned movie, it plays fine. i checked and it has libdvdcss2, libdvdnav4, and libdvdread4 installed. i get the same problems with my laptop (toshiba portege m400 tablet) which runs fedora 13.
Anyone else struggling to play iplayer video? I've got the proprietary Flash plugin, which means it's probably not this "SWF Authentication" thing that there's been so much talk about.
I've rebooted, tried all sorts of tinkering, it loads the applet (I can see that Flash is loading OK because other things work, and right clicking on the applet gives the Flash menu)
I need to play or preferably convert (i.e. to MP3) old SNG files, which contain voice records. From what I could find, it's basically a MIDI created by synthetiser. I think it was recorded by some ancient VLC player. I failed so far to play it on anything I could download.
I've had this problem on a few flash games (a couple of EA's sports management games on Facebook, and the Pokemon Dream World.) When I first use them everything's fine, but as I continue coming back to them, they seem to run a little slower each time. Ultimately in the case of the former two it got so bad that they were unusual.
Why is this happening? If they were slow from the start I could understood, but what could be making them go wrong on repeated plays?
I'm on 32 bit Kubuntu Lucid, firefox is my browser, and it's the official flash plugin.

I used to be able to use the NFL game center on nfl.com to watch the play-by-play when I was using Fedora 10.Now that I am on Fedora 12 it no longer works. I am able to click into a game and see all the info but the play-by-play drive chart no longer displays anything. Does anyone out there know how to get this working?

I changed the backend of phonon from xine to gstreamer because I wasn't able to play .avi files with xine. I installed libxine1, and libxine1-codecs, but Kaffeine, Dragon Player and Gwenview crashed when trying to play an avi file. After changing the backend I was able to play .avi files, but now I can't play DVD's, which I'm able to do switching back to the xine backend.
Whenever I plug my Zune in, Rhythmbox recognizes all the songs on it but when I doubleclick on a song to play it, the song doesn't play and Rhythmbox quits. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I'm running a Dell XPS 410 with 4GB RAM and a 1.75 GHz processor.Also, I imported a CD and it plays fine.
I'm trying out 10.04 LTS 64-bit from the live CD and when I try to play a MP3 or WAV file it gets the usual Search for suitable plugin? "The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a plugin that supports the selected file? The search will also include software which is not officially supported." Error message so I click Search and it comes up with the error No packages with the requested plugins found.
Is this because it is in Live Mode and installing 10.04 to my hard drive will fix it or does Ubuntu no longer support audio files other then ogg and other open source audio / video file formats due to copyright problems?
Is there anyway to make it so I don't have to use it? And just use the regular one which shows what Os's to choose from, like on most Windows machines when you dual boot etc?

I have Ubuntu 10.10 and turned it on after enabling my nvidia video card, but instead of opening regularly, it went to a black screen that said the following. Ubuntu 10.10 Inspiron8200 ttyl
Inspiron8200 login: I can login but this is only like the terminal (or maybe like the recovery console?) (I can only type and receive text) How do I start Ubuntu like normal?
