Ubuntu :: Warsow Game Messed Up Display?
Nov 26, 2010
i recently installed the game warsow from the repository but the game used to close midway while loading and my dislay would get messed up(i have attached before and after screenshots). I would usually logout and login again, and the display would go back to normal.
But last time, when the display got messed up again, i ran `metacity --replace` in the terminal and now i am permenantly stuck with the messed up window. the desktop in other user accounts are working fine. can anyone tell me how to set the desktop back to how it was??

I recently tried to plug my laptop to a TV and adjusted the settings consequently. The thing is now that I want to use it with the laptop screen. I can barely see the first top inch... I'm pretty shure it has something to do with the display configuration since it works flawlessly when I log in as a guestIs there a way for me to reset the screen to it default config without using my regular session?

I'm running F11 with an ATI HD3850 graphics card. I donloaded latest version of the ATI driver and installed it (without paying to much attention to versions and pre-reqs). This caused my display to be unusable in Gnome, nothing can be made out of it.
Was hoping to be able to repair this if I atleast had a bash prompt, but when I press ctrl-alt-F6 (or any F-button) my computer restarts. how I could fix this without reinstalling?

I have a bit of a problem w/ the windowing UI when I drag any window left, the display gets messed up (see attached screen shot). It doesn't matter what the program is, even happens in explorer. I've done some searching of the Internetz and this form and all I could find was this bug, that doesn't have any updates on it:
Does anyone know of a fix for this? I can make the lines go away by triggoring a repaint (by either dragging another window on top of this one or minimizing and maximizing the problem window, but it's still a bit annoying.I'm running Fedora 14 and have ran all of the updates it prompted me to run.

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'm running ubuntu lucid on a home-built computer with an ATI Radeon R300 NE [Radeon 9500 pro] video card and a cheap-o (Norcent) flat panel. Within the last week I've had a problem where the display gets horizontal and vertical stripes when I "wake it up" with the mouse. I can almost see what is supposed to be on the screen and I can use the mouse (the cursor is a big blocky area) enough to shut the computer down. Oddly, opening a new terminal (TTY1?) using Ctrl-Shift-F1 doesn't fix the monitor problem. Also, you can see the display problem when using xvnc4viewer from another computer.
I have found a number of similar issues in the forums, but haven't found a solution (nor can I find xorg.conf in lucid...). It just happened, so I wonder if it is something that broke in an update. There is nothing recorded in the logs that seem to apply to video problems.

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).

I installed the Warsow pkg just to see what it was.
As I ran it, the resolution went funky and then the laptop froze. Had to hard reset it. Not it will not boot fully. The Ubuntu symbol comes up then it flashes the loading symbol a couple times then goes black. When the hard reset button is pressed the screen goes purple.
I tried recovery mode but startx brought my into another terminal.
I seem to be install heavy. I'd like to figure it out but if I can't fast I'm going to have to reinstall. I've got a paper due Friday, and I don't want to have to work off a live cd for long. Thanks.

I just learned that warsow 0.6 is out, and went to see if it was available in the ubuntu software center yet, as opposed to going and downloading and installing it manually from the warsow website. The ubuntu repo's still have version 0.5, and at the bottom of the page it says:
"Updates: Canonical does not provide updates for Warsow. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community."
So if I wanted to 'update' this item in the repo's for the better of the community what would that entail?

I recently put Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop, and now I have my account set to "Administrator" but it won't let me install a game from a DVD rom, I installed the original game and it's first expansion with no problems, but the account says I don't have permissions to install the second expansion. I am sure it's because it's a DVD rom, but how can I give myself "root" permissions, or set up a root password so I can permit myself to install things?

I'm going to install Ubuntu 64bit, currently run 10.10 32bit. I'm thinking about going back to 10.04 in combination with a previous version of wine(maybe 1.2?) to get some games working again.
Do any of you know if games are still working well with this combination? I'm looking to play WoW at some point, Oblivion + Expansion/Mods, any FPS available.

I really just need to know what stupid thing I'm doing to cause this. I've extracted the files, and when I try to run the setup program, if I click on it from a file browser window in GNOME it just doesn't do anything. If I attempt to run the file (it's a .sh file, if that makes any difference) in the terminal, it says "command not found", even though I'm in the directory, and can clearly see the file when running ls.
If I try to run it in the file browser, and click on "Run in Terminal" then the terminal pops up, and goes away instantly.

When I upgraded to 11.04 games like Postal 2 and Lugaru do not play right anymore. I find them very choppy and the game sometimes just stops working. Now when I was using 10.10 the games were working fine.

I don't know what I have done this time, but on my desktop I have the cube effect, which is working fine. But now when I minimize a page it goes to the opposite end of the taskbar instead of to the workspaces I have.Using Ubuntu 10.04. Not sure if I have explained this properly. Also when I flip the cube to a clean desktop and open a new browser, it doesn't open on that side of cube , but reverts to original workspace and opens in a new tab there.

I wanted to try out the new Ubuntu Light theme that is coming up in 10.10 and I didn't like it because my notification area didn't match the top panel, so I restarted the top panel and my notification area was not there. So I changed back to Elementary and it still wasn't there. Then I tried restarting the gnome-panel again and my name wasn't there. >.< Can anyone help me on how to get it back?

Decided to try Meerkat. Looks great from the USB. With Lucid installed on Dell Optiplex with Windows XP - worked out ok.Installed Maverick Meerkat from USB and now no OS at all. I only get a prompt to re-try booting or to enter set-up.I installed Meerkat to the existing Lucid partitions, a / and /home partition, but I'm not even getting as far as grub-menu at boot.In the first attempt the installer installed grub to sda, (the hdd), and that didn't work, so I tried re-installing with a separate /boot, (sda7), partition, and still no love.
One of the problems is that on the Dell there is a /dell utility partition at the beginning of the disk, so I can't really move that to put a /boot partition at the beginning.Oddly, Lucid had no such problem. Lucid installed and recognised Windows XP, but when I try the same install procedure with Meerkat I draw a blank.

I recently set-up a MUSH (Multi-User Shared Hallucination), which is kind of like a MUD (Multi-User Domain/Dungeon/etc.). Basically, it is a text-based RPG for roleplaying games the old fashioned way from back before the dawn of GUI/graphic user interface. I would like to embed an application into my website to allow players (who don't want to download and run a separate mud/mush client program) to connect directly from the website. I came across this: [URL]
Though, I have not been able to set it up to work with my site. Perhaps because that is a MUD app and not a MUSH app? I don't know if that is relevant. It is basically a telnet type of connection, and that uses Java, though I'm not sure what else there is to it. Does anybody have any input on how I can get the text-based RPG accessible from a website?

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.
