[Solved] Play on linux, wine problem

I cant make wine to work on Arch linux. I user Ubuntu before and it was working fine. I really like arch but i found myself fixing the problems all the time. It is annoying. Please help me fix this:
I use wine 1.1.7 + winetricks 20081201-1 and playonlinux 3.2.1-1. I have installed gecko, directx9c and copied some dll-s from ubuntu instalation. But i cant make Call Of Duty 2 to work. It just starts, and then crashes... Any ideas?
This is what it says:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"opengl32.dll": libXdamage.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

I copied opengl32.dll from ubuntu installation myself. And it is there, in system32 on fake windows instalation
Why wine cant find it?

I have removed both wine and playonlinux, and recompiled it all over from aur, latest versions. I have instaled libxdamage and lib32-libxdamage
And still...
wine CoD2SP_s.exe

Is trouble with OpenGL?
Should I install libgl-dri? It conflicts with nvidia-utils package. That means nvidia-utils contains OpengGL libs, right?

[SOLVED] Playing sound simultaniously from wine and other applications

I'm using Pulseaudio with the following packages installed:
~> pacman -Q | grep 'alsa\|pulse'
alsa-lib 1.0.27.2-1
alsa-plugins 1.0.27-2
alsa-utils 1.0.27.2-1
lib32-alsa-lib 1.0.27.2-1
lib32-libpulse 5.0-1
libpulse 5.0-1
pulseaudio 5.0-1
pulseaudio-alsa 2-2
When running a wine application sound works, unless a linux application is playing sound. If that is the case, no sound is playing from the wine app until sound from the linux application stops (for example by pausing smplayer).
Is there any way to make sound work simultaneously from wine and native applications?
Other information that may be relevant:
Architecture - x86_64
Desktop - KDE
Wine application - BabasChess

How to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Database 11gR1. The Database Control Console https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em works correctly. I can create a Database and a table successfully.
My OS is Linux and connects to internet successfully.
In order to run SQL statements. we need to use Oracle SQL Developer. I connect Oracle SQL Developer in the following way:
Connection Name: DB1 (this is my database name as well)
Username: SYS (this is the user name I used to login to the Console)
Password: SYS (this the password used to login to the Console)
Connection Type: Basic
Host Name: localhost
Port: 1158
SID: DB1 (this is created during installing the Database)
But the error message comes up: "Status: Failure - IO exception Connection Reset."
Can any folk tell me how to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

Can any folk tell me how to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?username: sys
password: enter_your_correct_password given at the time of oracle installation
role: select sysdba if you would connect as sysdba else select normal for users other than sys
hostname: enter your oracle server hostname or ip address eg:- 192.168.11.12
to find the hostname open terminal/command prompt in oracle installed machine
type ---> hostname
type ---->ping hostname
you can find the ipaddress of the server
port number: 1521 (default) ----> i guess , else check the port number in the tnsnames.ora file under your ORACLE_HOME/network/admin folder
SID: DB1
try it

[SOLVED]Xorg.conf, mouse config problem

The Rapoo M765 mouse can not work properly under normal mouse configuration.
The mouse goes beyond controll when config as below:
hacksign@XSign [14:13:13] : ~
>> cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf
#Section "InputClass"
# Identifier "Mouse2"
# MatchProduct "RAPOO RAPOO 2.4G Remote Mouse"
# MatchIsPointer "yes"
# MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
# Driver "mouse"
# Option "Protocol" "auto"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
# Option "Buttons" "7"
# Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
#EndSection
When there is no any configuration, the mouse can work abnormally. Movement and right/left click work fine, but I can not use scroll wheel,and the "go forward"&"go backward" mouse key can not work too.
(I know Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" is the configuration of scroll wheel emulation.)
The real problem is 'mouse beyond controll',the cursor goes crazyly on screen ....
I guess it is something wrong of ButtonMapping option. But when I tried to get button number from command xev,when scroll wheel scrolles, I get something below(the scroll wheel movement is identified as a key event~):

Thanks for reply !
change Driver 'mouse' to Driver 'evdev',solved cursor goes beyond controll problem.
but I still can not use scroll button and 'go forward'&'go backward' button.
(BTW:evdev_drv.so is from local/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint, and local/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint package is from AUR)
I think, maybe something wrong with my button number mapping, but I still can not get scroll button number with 'xev' command....
below is my configuration:

Try to remove xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard (same as before, this is deprecated and handled by evdev) and remove also a "joystick" driver if you have it (I have had problem with it conflicting with the evdev driver).

Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
What devices are they using?
What program or apps with versions are they using?
I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

MP3 plays fine in Win Media Player, but won't import in iTunes

I have this MP3 file in a folder on my hard drive. It plays fine in Win Media Player.
If I "Add the Folder to Library" all other MP3 files in the folder come though fine but this one is left behind.
If I use "Add File to Library" there is just a screen "flicker" but the file is not added.
What could cause this? and how do I get the file into iTunes?
TIA

Are you certain that the files in question are in fact MP3 files and not some other format?
iTunes can play plain old MP3 files, but it cannot play proprietary schemes with digital rights management built in, and it cannot play WMA files.

Playing audiobooks in Nano problem w/track numbers

I load audiobooks into Touch and label with disk 1 of 5, 2 of 5, etc and the entire book plays thru w/no problem. I do the same for Nano 3G and the tracks show up individually (track 1 shows 5 times, track 2 shows 5 times, etc). Why the difference? Nano plays all the track 1 then all the track 2...Is there a way to get into Nano so the audiobook will play thru properly? Do you know why the 2 players are acting differently? Thanks for your help.

There's quite a few differences between those iPods - like how it tells you about how the battery is doing without ejecting on the Touch and you get nothing on the nano.
I didn't know that the Touch did it differently, but the best fix I've found on the nano is to download a script from Doug's scripts http://dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/jointogether.php
The procedure is a few steps but basically after you have that script installed you bring your book in and for each disk you select the tracks and then go to the script menu (the funny S) and run the script. You may have some learning to get things in the right order. Once it creates the single track you hit Get Info and switch the type from Music to Audiobook. Repeat for the other disks. If you want you could cram all the disks together in one track.
This also creates little track jump points which allows you to skip forward or backward by those tracks. Some other solutions don't do that as far as I can tell.

My computer has a 1.3 GHz. I want to get a game but the minimum requirement is 1.4 GHz. Can I still play this game without problems.

My computer has a 1.3 GHz. I want to get a game but the minimum requirment is 1.4 GHz. Can I still get this game and play it without any problems that will prohibit me from being able to play it. I would also like to get a game that has a 1.7 GHz requirment and be able to get this game and play it without any problems that will prohibit me from being able to play it.

What do you expect us (Apple users) to tell you? Especially since you are not telling us which specific MacBook Air you have - as some of the recent ones have TurboBoost.
But even putting that aside, if the game maker takes the time and trouble to tell you a required speed, and you do not meet that speed, then obviously you should expect the game to function less than perfectly. If you are considering a 1.7GHz required game on a machine with 65% of that performance, you should feel lucky if the game runs at all, even with miserable performance.
The game maker took the trouble to lay out the specs. If you don't meet them, expect inferior, if any, performance.

Can all macbooks boot from usb(stick,hdd) and firewire(hdd) an os: linux, win, mac os x, opensolaris, etc

Subject: BOOT FROM EXTERNAL STORAGE DEVICE - After this setup properly
Can all macbooks boot from usb(stick,hdd) and firewire(hdd) an os: linux, win, mac os x, opensolaris, etc?
what about:
Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop(OLD VERSION) (4GB RAM 120G HD 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 15.4" Matte Screen, 4GB memory, 120 GB 7200 rpm hard drive) White

Yes,
Disconnect everything hooked up to the PC except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.
Then use this method to flash the BIOS. It is the safest way to go.
USB Device BIOS Flashing in DOS
DOS Flash (DOSFlash.exe, FlshUefi.cpu) is the DOS-compatible System BIOS flash utility that can be used from a DOS bootable storage device (where "DOS" refers to any of a number of compatible operating systems such as FreeDOS, MS-DOS or DR-DOS). FlshUefi.cpu is the required driver for DOSFlash.exe. To flash the System BIOS from a bootable USB storage device, you will need to copy the contents of the DOS Flash folder to the USB device, boot the PC from the USB device, and execute the DOSFlash application. To see a more complete description of the DOS flash utilities, view DOSFlash.txt located in the DOS Flash folder. This folder also contains the required binary image of the BIOS. The binary image file is named xxx_MMmm.bin where "xxx" is the BIOS family, "MM" is the major version number, and "mm" is the minor version number. This file can be copied to the root directory of any USB removable medium for use with the F10 setup "Flash System ROM" option

The links on this post don't work. I copied the section from the BIOS flashing instructions for the specific section you need.

Anyone solved the 'only play for 1 second' problem

Since I upgrtaded to 4.9 from 4.8 I cannot play itunes over my external speakers. This was a problem that doesn't seem to have been solved. Unless I don't know about it. Can anyone help. I am not upgarding to itunes 5 there is too much noise about it. It seems flawed to **.

I have no issues with iTunes 5, they have already released an update 5.0.1.
I would give that a go, after all you have nothing to lose if you can't stream music now.
Have you tried rebooting your Airport Express?

These suggest to me you need to install the packages openal and perhaps lib32-openal (from the multilib repository) as well if you're on 64 bit. Basically, it says "I'm trying to load openal32.dll, but in order to do that I need linux's libopenal.so.1 and it doesn't exist. Thus, the dll has failed and the program will now close".

BIOS UEFI-triple boot (win 8-Kali Linux-Ubuntu) problems

I recently buy a Satellitte P70-B-10C. My primary OS is Windows8. I want to install also Kali Linux and Ubuntu in a triple boot mode...Unfortunately this is not possible because the BIOS had only two options: 1. UEFI mode 2. CSM mode....So the problem is that there isn;t an third option for both UEFI/CSM mode...so if i want to boot in win 8 i have to go to BIOS configurations and set UEFI mode, and if i want to boot in Kali Linux or Ubuntu i have to go back again to BIOS and set CSM mode
I flash the BIOS with ths latest version but still the same options
Please advise

I meant Windows 8.1. You can download it here.
Create installation media for Windows 8.1
I don't know for sure if you install it using CSM and MBR partitioning whether the embedded activation key will work. Maybe this comes in handy.
Installing Windows 8.1 (or 8) without a product key
If you go this route, please let us know what happens.

[Solved] Wine Problem: Cant Locate Procedure In DLL

I'm trying to run a windows exe via wine and it when I double click the program a message box pops up that says "The Procedure * could not be located in the DLL MSVBVM60.dll" IIRC this DLL is one of the ms visual basic runtimes and I've tried a few things to remedy this problem but none of them seem to work. I don't really use wine that much so I'm no expert with it, I tried adding the DLL to the preferred list but that didn't fix anything. The DLL's are in the same folder as the application and the app itself is portable so it doesn't need to be installed. I installed the VB6 runtime files with winetricks but I still have the same error. Any help would be appriciated.
Directory Listing:
FrogASPI.dll Log.txt MSCOMCTL.OCX MSVBVM60.DLL Readme.txt Xbox Backup Creator.exe

All this doesn't really mean anything to me hopefully it will to someone else.
It looks to me like those last lines all happen after the process crashes, so I need more output. You can redirect stderr with
WINEDEBUG=+all wine 'Xbox Backup Creator.exe' 2> winelog.txt
and it should work.

[SOLVED] Preferred frontend for wine and a Counter-Strike problem

Hello,
Whats the preferred front end for wine or should I use the vanilla version? I'm planning to play Steam Counter-Strike (1.6 version), maybe WOW.
Also, if someone knows. I installed bin32-wine from arch-games and playonlinux from AUR on 64bit host. Wine 1.1.33. Installed fonts - verdana, tahoma, arial. And Steam. When I load Counter-Strike 1.6, I can only see the background. I don't see menu or console. I can press buttons blind and hear them click. I can type in console blind. But I don't see anything except for the background.
Actually, bin32-wine does not even load any more. Only playonlinux does.

Sounds like bin32-wine is broken or there is a regression in wine with CS.
I would just use bash scripts + wine as frontend.
If it's a bug report it http://arch-games.twilightlair.net/proj … epo/issues

CUPS Linux-to-Linux printing problems [SOLVED]

I'm having quite a hard time getting my shared Brother HL-2040 to be recognized by another Arch workstation on my LAN.
Solved:
Upon inspecting the config further, I decided to try adding the remote user's account to the local machine and that did the trick. Oy.
