removing ~/.wine and installing PS CS2 from the scratch solved the problem
wine devs refused this bug anyway ;(

Can we stop it with posts like this?

Cummon guys... Enough is enough already.
This forum is now full of "Hee Hee" and "I don't have experience with that but..." Posts.
Can we keep things on-topic, about logic and stop the chit chat? I come here to learn.
When people post a problem, they want an answer, not to see there are replies that are jokes or 'supposed' to be funny. Lets all try to help each other, not waste time.
Now report this post and have it removed...

trust me kid
you don't want a forum thats too tense or too much rules
it pushes people away
i've seen many people have been help on this forum
but sometimes to make this forum abit easier to be in one has to smile or make some one smile then back in line again
the man looking over the forum is not dumb not to delete them post
because he knows how to make this place an easy and fun yet learn as well
deleting every post or shutting people for smiling might push many people away
and when the ones in need wants help they wouldn't find anyone
i'll say 80% of the questions asked gets answered or most try to
there is nothing wrong with people smiling there and there
just relax a lil
i understand sometimes it goes on and on but sometimes thats what keeps people around here
no one is getting paid for helping, so let people enjoy life sometimes
cheers

[SOLVED] Can't sign key with pacman-key

I've been reading and digging all over the place but I can't seem to find anything on this.
1. I have created my own keys for signing packages that I want to put in a local repo so I don't have to compile the same package over and over on all my machines.
2. I have imported said key using sudo pacman-key --add rdjack21.pgp
3. Used sudo pacman-key --lsign rdjack21 I get this output:
-> Locally signing key rdjack21...
==> ERROR: rdjack21 could not be locally signed.
4. Ok so lets sudo pacman-key --edit rdjack21 output:
gpg> sign
pub rsa2048/3D1B5544
created: 2014-11-30 expires: never usage: SC
trust: ultimate validity: ultimate
Primary key fingerprint: B0D7 C728 31FA B2B0 6A3C 7086 DC7F DE0C 3D1B 5544
Richard Jackson <[email protected]>
Are you sure that you want to sign this key with your
key "Pacman Keyring Master Key <pacman@localhost>" (645ECB0E)
Really sign? (y/N) y
gpg: signing failed: No pinentry
gpg: signing failed: No pinentry
gpg>
5. To hack this and make pacman work with my local repo signed by the rdjack21 key I had to change the trust to ultimate but I do not like that solution. I would prefer to sign the key and move the trust back down to full which is where it should be.
This is happening on all of my boxes not just one of them. I did find something on the web about "No pinentry" message above and the sugestion was to change the owner of the tty I'm using to be root for the signing to work but that did not work for me (su'ed to root first instead of running everything with sudo).
While changeing the trust works that just feels wrong to me. I really should beable to sign the key.

Taking a clue post gnupg 2.1.0-4 upgrade breaks passphrase via STDIN I was able to solve the problem and I can now sign keys.
The solution is add "pinentry-mode loopback" to /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf
And create the file /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and put "allow-loopback-pinentry" in the file.
Once that is done everythings works as expected!
Marking this as solved.

[SOLVED] Can't start pulseaudio with other users?

I am having trouble getting pulseaudio to start using a different user. The user "corey" can run pulse just fine. After logging out and logging in on user "tv", running pulseaudio --start returns this error message:
E [autospawn] core-util.c: Failed to create secure directory: Operation not permitted
W [autospawn] lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock.
E [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to acquire autospawn lock
So it seems this user does not have permission? I can't imagine why, both corey and tv are in the audio group and both had active consolekit sessions at the time.
I don't know if this is relative information but I'll throw it out there anyway. I have a multiseat configuration with 2 seats, 1 at my desktop the other for my tv however for right now I am just logging into the display at my desktop. I followed most of the relative information about pulseaudio and multiseat from this page on the gentoo wiki (including editing the config files Xstartup and Xreset): here
consolekit though seems to be acting wierd, right now ck-list-sessions produces this:
Session3:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = 'Corey Teetor'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2012-02-17T06:19:44.835923Z'
login-session-id = '4294967295'
Session1:
unix-user = '1001'
realname = 'The Television'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = ''
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2012-02-17T06:13:33.618814Z'
login-session-id = '1'
it says that the session for corey is not active even though i am logged in right now and pulse is running. I am a bit confused...please share your wisdom with me!

[Solved] Can't install Nvidia driver: Mesa-libgl conflict

I just finished installing my first GUI, KDE to be exact, on Arch Linux. Right now, I'm using the nouveau driver but I want to unlock the full power of my GTX 780 with proprietary nvidia drivers. On my last attempt at installing KDE, I went directly to installing the nvidia driver 304.24. After rebooting and seeing some text flash on screen, however, I was meant with only a black screen. I could still type, login and reboot but not much more since I couldn't see. I tried booting into the Arch Linux fallback GRUB provided for me with no prevail so I decided to just reinstall the OS. For that reason, I want to install this nvidia driver in hopes of being able to avoid another blank screen. So far, I have this:
[root@arch /]# pacman -S nvidia
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: nvidia-libgl and mesa-libgl are in conflict (libgl). Remove mesa-libgl? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nouveau-dri: requires mesa-libgl
I've tried looking across the forums for similar problems and even tried to uninstall mesa-libgl and all its dependencies but it just yields this:
[root@arch /]# pacman -Rns mesa-libgl
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: cairo: requires libgl
:: glu: requires libgl
:: libva: requires libgl
:: mplayer: requires libgl
:: nouveau-dri: requires mesa-libgl
:: qt4: requires libgl
:: qt5-base: requires libgl
I feel like I might need to uninstall the nouveau driver so as to be able to uninstall mesa-libgl. If I installed the nvidia driver at that point, I fear I might see the blank screen again. Thanks for your help in advance.

You do it wrong.
sudo pacman -Rdd mesa-libgl && sudo pacman -S nvidia
After it, you can decide if you want to reinstall mesa-libgl and remove nvidia-libgl or leave nvidia-libgl and do not install mesa-libgl. I do it all the time during update.

[SOLVED] Can't start compiz with gnome

When I set up gnome initially, I used the following wiki guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … k_Users.29
I had some issues after upgrading to gnome 3.8 that have now since been solved. I wen't through quite a bit trying to fix it and now somehow compiz isn't starting with my gnome/compiz session. It starts just fine if I run
$ compiz ccp --replace
after logging into the session. I think I'm simply not understanding how this session that I've installed works (or .session files in general).
here is my /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-compiz.session:
[GNOME Session]
Name=GNOME Compiz
RequiredComponents=compiz;cairo-dock;gnome-settings-daemon;
RequiredProviders=notifications;
DefaultProvider-windowmanager=compiz
DefaultProvider-notifications=notification-daemon
I tried removing cairo-dock from the above file just to make sure that this is the file actually being used and it did start up without the dock as I guessed. Obviously this file is being used. Why won't compiz start as well? I also tried adding gnome-panel to the file and gnome-panel did not start. Is this because it needs a .desktop file as well? I assume so.
Here is my /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-compiz.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=GNOME/Compiz
Comment=This session logs you into the GNOME desktop environment with Compiz and Cairo-Dock
Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-session --session=gnome-compiz

and here is my /usr/share/applications/compiz.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]

So I started to think that maybe compiz was actually starting up but the ccp argument wasn't taking. I ran
$ pgrep -l compiz
and got no output. So compiz really isn't starting at all. What gives?

Nvidia with bumblebee, doesn't speed up fan when needed.

Hey,
I have a Laptop that has a single fan that caters to both the GPU and the CPU. Sometimes the GPU will get forcefully underclocked because the fan wouldn't speed up (because the CPU load is not that high and cpu temperature is low). I haven't been able to find a patter of when this happens, though. A similar (but possibly related issue). If I exit primus/optirun app while the fan has been sped up because the GPU is hot, the fans would not speed down until I power the GPU again and they don't seem to react to the load of the machine. It's a hard problem to google and I haven't been able to find much really. Any ideas? I'm using the nvidia driver if that matters.
cheers,

Hey mende 1
I did some more SMC Resets and it seems to be working now!!
I hope this has solved it otherwise I'll still have to go to the store.

How can I stop adverts with sound coming up?

When I go to certain web sites a video with sound comes up which is very awkward for my wife in the middle of the night. Can I suppress adverts like this?

[SOLVED] Can't left-click with mouse (but I can on a tablet)

On a recent update, I noticed that my desktop would not detect my mouse's left-click. It correctly detects middle-click and right-click, however. On the other hand, I can left-click with a tablet.
How can I make it so that it will detect both the mouse and tablet's left-clicks?
I'm using evdev for the mouse, and linuxwacom-bamboo for tablet drivers.
Edit: My bad, it was a hardware problem! Bought a new mouse to fix it.

Now, however, when I double-click a script, it opens in Leafpad (my text editor). I've browsed the wiki and searched the forum and web, but can't find any clues as to what has changed or why this is happening.
I can right-click in Thunar and use the "Open With>" option to set the script to open with another application, but there's no obvious option to run a script. Opening with a terminal emulator results in a brief hourglass, then nothing.
The script I'm testing with (the Tor Browser Bundle startup script) is in my /home/myname directory, has -rwx------ permissions (with me as the owner), and the file type in Thunar shows "shell script". It runs fine if I execute it in a terminal with "sh /path/to/script" -- just not via Thunar or the XFCE desktop.
Can anyone suggest anything I could check?

This is an intended change in Thunar 1.6.5: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7596#c15
Thunar 1.6.6 has a hidden option to restore the old behavior: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/commit/?id=b385bcf
The option is called misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default and can be set using xfce4-settings-editor or by following the instructions here:
http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/hidden-settings
Thanks so much for the explanation!
I tried creating "misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default" in the Settings Editor, set to true, but it didn't seem to have any effect. So I tried this in a terminal, also to no effect:
xfconf-query --channel thunar --property /misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default --create --type bool --set true
If I right-click on a script, the top item on the menu is still "Open with Leafpad". Do I somehow need to change the default behaviour to "execute script"...? I've searched but I can't seem to find any further information.
I guess it's not a big deal, but it would be nice to restore the default behaviour.

[SOLVED] Can't use scrot with a shortcut in Xfce

I don't need to be bothered by a dialog and browsing to my screenshots directory every time I want to take a screenshot, so I've tried to set a keyboard shortcut in Xfce that lets me simply put a screenshot in the directory for me. However, nothing seems to be happening.
I've set the command to be just plain old 'scrot' (and '/usr/bin/scrot' just to be sure) as suggested on the Arch Wiki and have tried the format suggested in the scrot man page. Neither works, and I can't figure out why. As a point of information, the
scrot '%Y-%m-%d.png' -e 'mv $f ~/shots/'
suggested by the man page doesn't work because it says that --.png is not a valid option. So it would seem that the calls to strftime are being interpreted wrongly or at the wrong time?
Thanks for any help.

What if you create a script like this:
#!/bin/bash
scrot '%Y-%m-%d.png' -e 'mv $f ~/shots/'
Make it executable:
chmod +x the_script
Then try it in the terminal and see if you get a screenshot, if you do, then modify the key bind in xfce to run:
/home/username/the_script
And see if it works that way. It's not really a solution if it works, because you need the script.

[SOLVED]can't "rewind" command with holding arrows on keyboard.

I hope to make myself as clear as I can: when I hold arrows on keyboards (in game for example) I can only move 1 square, when it should go until I release arrow.
Same in console, I can't "rewind" command when holding arrow, I have to keep pushing it until it gets where I want it.

you mean terminal history browsing? Well this isn't a solution to your problem, but you could always use bang commands or command history search, which has eliminated my use of the arrow keys.
For your particular problem, what terminal emulator are you using? And what's the config?
