What games do you run under Linux?

Thats it...
what games do you usually run?
If using WineX, please include version and PC specs (cpu, memory and video card are enough)

I've never been much of a gamer, but I distinctly remember playing this game too. A couple weeks ago i went and looked for old games like this, and TIM was one of the ones i found. I don't remember where I got it, but I'll put it up here for a day or two so you can grab it (it's abandonware): http://atrum.com/tim/.
Oh and I came across Legends (mentioned previously) in a slashdot post the other day and the game is gorgeous. I've never played either Tribes game, so I'm still getting used to the controls, but it's fun. Have been looking into contributing to the project. Just too bad they can't release all the sources for it (it uses the Torque engine).
As for the games I play, the ones I have played have been native to Linux, like Unreal Tournament, Quake 3 and RTCW. Speaking of which, I guess i should try out ET since everyone is raving about it. Now where's that damn CD...

Opening a Powerpoint in JSP and run under Linux

Hi,
I need to have a JSP page that provides a link to open a powerpoint file and this JSP is to be run under Linux. When I try to click on the link in Linux to open the powerpoint, it gives me a lot of junk characters. Can somebody please help mi, thanks a million!

You have the mimetype for the HTTP response set to something other than what will make the browser start a powerpoint viewer and direct the content of the HTTP response to it.
In your jsp use the setHeader(String key,String key) method to set the value of "Content-Type" to the mimetype for powerpoint.
Of course the users must have browsers that are configured to launch a powerpoint viewer or plug-in. If you provide the correct mimetype and peoples browsers desn't have this, then they will get the "save to file" dialog box.

Vhost configuration for Adobe Media Server running under linux.

Please help me with Vhost configuration for Adobe Media Server running under linux.
I was running a media sharing website for which I wanted to use Adobe Media Server.
To use, AMS, I disabled the already installed Apache server and installed AMS along with the built in Apache server. I could successfully install AMS and could login to AMS Admin Console through my IP number.
My existing website, www.mydomain.com is having its contents located at:
/home/mydomain/public_html
(Directory created under the old version of Apache not bundled with AMS)
Users will be uploading their videos, which will get transcoded and will be delivered to the website visitors in the existing scenario.
To use this website with AMS, this is what I did:
I created a folder for my domain, www.mydomain.com as below
/opt/adobe/ams/conf/_defaultRoot_/www.mydomain.com
Copied Application.xml and Vhost.xml from /opt/adobe/ams/conf/_defaultRoot_/ and pasted them in /opt/adobe/ams/conf/_defaultRoot_/www.mydomain.com
In the Application.xml file there are 2 entries:
<Alias name="mydomain.com"></Alias>
<AppsDir>${/home/mydomain/public_html}</AppsDir>
Please help me with further steps to be completed:
Do I need to create a separate VirtualHost entry in the Apache installed with AMS?
If yes, can I specify already existing document root for my website (/home/mydomain/public_html) or do I need to create a separate folder under webroot/Apache ?
If yes to point 2 above, then do I need to copy all the existing contents from /home/mydomain/public_html to the newly created folder ?
I hope, I can serve all my static contents like html pages and php and media like video/audio. In that case do I need create alias to my Media/Alias folder or AMS will automatically start streaming when a video/audio is requested ?
What other steps do i need to complete?
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Loss of keyboard focus in Java appl running under linux

I have a small sample program that replicates my problem. When this program is run a window is created. If you select File->New another instance of the program window is created. Now if you try to go back and bring to front the first window, keyboard focus is not
transferred when run under linux. You can only type in the second window. The expected behavior does happen in Windows.

}

You can implement the FocusListener interface. When
the first JFrame gains focus, call
text.requestFocusInWindow(). I hope this helps.The call requestFocusInWindow is not helping, perhaps even making it worse.
The problem seems to be that I am in the situation where the call
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().getPermanentFocusOwner()
is returning the expected Component. The problem is that the KeyListener class that is registered with the Component is not being called when a key is being pressed.
The issue is that I have a component that has the keyboard focus, but the KeyListener class
is not responding.
This seems to be a linux only problem which makes it only mysterious.

Java running under linux with crontab

I'm having a problem:
i want to run a java program under linux with crontab.
my classes are in a directory and aren't in a package. i run em by invoking ./start which is a small script that i wrote. The script is in the same dir as the classes and invokes java by "java Main >>logjava.txt " but this doesn't seem to work all i get is an empty logfile
i need to run the program every day at 0800 so i inserted the following in crontab:
0 8 * 1-5 /var/"path"/start > logjava (where path is the path to the classes dir)
if i run the cmdline from anywhere on the prompt i get the result i want. I think it's because the cron runs it from the root dir thus making java unable to find the classes
Any suggestions would be welcome. or can some1 tell me how to make linux executables from the java (i usually use jsmooth for the windows exe)

You can execute several commands in the process started by cron. You separate them using semicolons.
Have you tried a cron entry like this:
0 8 * 1-5 cd /var/"path";pwd;echo $PATH; ./start > logjavaOr, you may need to make sure the process started by cron gets the same environment as your interactive shells do, by explicitly loading your setup or .login scripts:
0 8 * 1-5 . $HOME/.setup;cd /var/"path";pwd;echo $PATH; ./start > logjava

What Anti-Virus software are you running under Windows 8?

I'm running Avast! Home Edition in W7 but in Windows 8 i'm letting it do it's thing.
What about everyone else?
T410(2537) -- i7 620M - Intel HD GPU (1440 x 900) - 8GB RAM - 128GB Crucial M4 SSD - 250GB Hitachi HDD - Windows 7 & 8 Pro

Hello,
Various anti-malware vendors are still going through the Windows 8 certification process for their software with Microsoft, however, many of them already have products that work under Windows 8. Two testing organizations, AV-Comparatives and AV-Test, have been keeping track of which products work under Windows 8, and the results can be found on their respective web sites:
AV-Comparatives: Windows 8 Approved Security Products
AV-Test: Security Products for Windows 8 (Home User)
I would recommend checking each list frequently, as they seem to be getting updated on a daily basis.

Hi,
Anyone know why does this message always appear when I run sources which has some awt.* classes in it?
These runtime messages actually happens in my University machines, which is running Redhat 7.1 with Java version 1.3. It happens also in Mandrake 8.0
I'm grateful if someone can point to what is wrong. Thank You in advance.

This means the specific font type "adobe-fontspecific" is not available in your OS.
You can either use another font type in your program or install that font type in your OS.

What memory are you running in your KT6 Delta?

I am looking at upgrading my memory. I am going for 1GB of pc3200 with decent latency. Please post your memory configuration as i want to know what works with the KT6 Delta before making a purchase
I also wonder if i can use dual-channel memory even thought the board doesnt support it. So i wont need to upgrade my memory when i get a new dual-channel board.
I would like to stay under/around $200

HyperX as per sig.
Don't understand your question "can I use dual channel memory even though the board doesn't support it." Makes no sense. Since the board doesn't support it the answer is surely no.
BUT, if you mean "can I use 2 sticks which I'd normally buy for dual channel memory" then the answer is definitely yes. There's nothing special about dual channel memory kits - they are just matched pairs, that's all. The Delta series has 3 DIMM slots so go ahead and buy 2 sticks.
Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick!

Opengl games to be run under wine?

Hi all, does anybody has a list of opengl games made for windows?
I'm asking because it seems that they run very well in wine with little or no overhead, while dx games suffer from a good 25% penalty.
I tried Unigine in opengl, and it confirms that.

Wii U – What games are you playing?!

Hey all,
I recently purchased a Wii U and I’m pretty disappointed in myself for not having made this purchase earlier! I’m primarily a PC gamer, although the older Nintendo consoles, such as the SNES, were the reason I got into gaming in the first place. So far, I absolutely love the Wii U.
Currently I’m playing Mario Kart 8, New Super Mario U, and I just purchased Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, which I’ll be picking up today.
I’m looking for some more game suggestions! I’d love to hear your favorite games and specifically what makes them so great. General thoughts on the console itself are always welcome, too.
Anddddd go!

Firefox running under Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) 12 (KDE) won't install extensions for Firefox

Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) 12, KDE desktop
Firefox 10.0
Started up Firefox right after Mint was installed. On the add-ons page video download helper was shown as a featured extension and I installed it, then rebooted when prompted. After that, Firefox would never install another extension again. Just gives download error.
I google searched and in a forum I found a post about uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. I tried it. First time I started it up, it installed video download helper again, but then would not install any other extension after that. I tried numerous extensions I '''KNOW''' are working in Firefox 10.0 because they are working in Firefox over on my Win 7. Everytime I get a download error, either from the addons site or from the Add-ons Manager in Firefox.
Someone told me on the Mint forums that I needed to add a subdirectory on a certain directory, so I did that. Didn't work.
It seems Ubuntu disables the root, or cripples it, and I guess Mint does too. You can still use sudo when doing things in Ubuntu (and Mint I would assume, since it's based on Ubuntu) but you can't get true 'superuser' access as I understand it. But, I don't think this would have any bearing on the problem, or my search of the Mint forums would have come up with all kinds of threads screaming about this.

Problem solved - it was caused by an add-on called "PDF Download 3.0.0.2)
To fix - in Firefox :
Click on '''Tools''' command (top of screen)
Select '''Extensions'''
click on "'''disable''' button beside '''PDF Download'''
Close Firefox and restart it.
Clicking on any pdf file should open a new tab now and the document will appear there.

What Resolution are you running your MBP-R at?

I got mine last Tuesday, I "Listened" to the fact that Apple has a "retina optimized' setting, right in the middle. While Safari looks amazing at that setting, Firefox, safari, word and excel while looking VERY good are not as sharp. Since then, I kept upping the resolution, now at the max, 1920 x 1200. The non-optimized programs seem a LOT sharper, and life is good! (Plus, I have oodles more screen real-estate. I am 62 and prolly not the sharpest eyes, so wondering what others are finding works for them?
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Everyones eyes are different, use what you like best. The retina display is awesome, and I find myelf changing the res. to fit a particular application, if I will be using it for a while., ei. flight sim, CAD, regular Apple stuff...
I say just enjoy what is best for you.

What games are you looking forward to?

I might have to give this a go tonight when I get home.
Just seeing the video took me back to the old Amiga days.

Hello, I'm really looking forward to Zelda Skyward Sword buy I'm going to wait for a price drop and buy used. Anyway, here's my lists of recently played PS3 Action/Adventure games: Infamous - Loved it, loved it, loved it! Excellent game! (now playing Infamous 2)5 out of 5 stars Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Loved it, loved it loved it! A total deviation from the previous Castlevania storylines but much improved and sets the series up for a bunch of sequels as well.5 out of 5 stars Batman Arkum City - OK but I really liked the first one better and I did not like the abrupt and unexpected ending either.31/2 out of 5 stars Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception - Sort of a letdown because I've waited so long for it. 31/2 out of 5 stars Red Dead Redemption - An OK game with too many side quests. Leader board shows one guy assisting almost 5,000 civilians... I completed the game with less than 15 assists (and the assists really don't get you anything)31/2 out orf 5 stars Prince of Persia (not Forgotten Sands) - Started slow but then I got into it..3 out of 5 stars Silent Hill: Homecoming - Slow, boring and weird overall; however, some parts of the game were really fun!21/2 out of 5 stars The Watchman - Funny, goofy, and easy at the same time. The game was so cheap, I had to try it. 21/2 out of 5 stars Have fun, norepli
