I just tried building and installing it from source, without touching any directories outside of my home directory, following the directions in the READMEs and I still got a permission denied error. ...

The trend dates from the very first bundle, so it's not due to other sales the Humble folks have run recently.

I can understand the objection to buying from a company that does business with EA. ...

There are more ways to buy great games for Linux now than there when the Humble Bundle started. Perhaps that explains why the average price, number of bundles sold, and total revenue credited to...

$10 isn't quite the same thing as 10 €, of course. Another reason to prefer the Humble store and GOG.com. However, when Half-Life goes back on sale, it'll probably be my first purchase on the Steam...

Valve would be disappointed with me. I have bought a couple of games to play under wine but Steam came to Linux too late for me, after I'd already formed an attachment to other services. The Humble...

Very cool. Out of the Orange Box/Source Engine games I only own Portal so far. It would be great to play it natively!

Can you tell if there's any way to figure out what system specs they're...

Your best bet may be to check out the Wine appDB reports for Skyrim. You can get further help on the comments section of those pages, on the Wine forums, and on the Wine IRC channel. Take a look at...

And of course Wine Is Not really and Emulator. From wikipedia:


Wine often works extremely well, depending on the game. For example, some people have had good experiences running some versions...

It's a fun game.

Not to hijack the thread, but why do you prefer Steam?

I don't know steam well. I've downloaded the client, but prefer the Humble Store, for games on both. Matter of personal...

These are wonderful games, though I haven't played Torchlight due to a graphical bug that makes the character models invisible.

For more twitchy platformers, I've been loving Super Meat Boy (no...

I can't talk intelligently about chipsets. My next laptop will be the first I buy with a serious eye to gaming performance. However, it seems to me you should take a look at the Clevo gaming...

Sure. Start with an internet search. He's on Google+ and Twitter for example. These have the benefit of being public.

With some research you could probably figure out the postal address of the...

I say, don't write to customer support. The CEO makes the strategic business decisions at EA or directly oversees the people who do. That's who you write to. Then you try to make a business...

The KDE folks certainly claim their desktop environment is better for gaming because of, er, something to do with compositing.

However, recent tests by Phoronix of OpenGL gaming using various...

I was taken aback by the Windows-only, DRM-ridden, totally-non-indie bundle too. But I think we're looking at this from the wrong angle. The Humble Bundle guys have earned a bit of trust from...

I assume you've walked through the Teamspeak with MySQL tutorial in the Teamspeak support forums? I just d/l-ed and unpacked the tar from the website and it worked right off the bat for me on 12.10...

I've never used Teamspeak, but I might be able to help with a few obvious questions, after doing an internet search for your error. Have you done a checksum of the package you used to install...

There's a Kickstarter I'm hoping will get funded, and I thought it might be legit to spread the word here about Sportsfriends.

Adam Smith at Rock Paper Shotgun called them "four semi-mythical...

I have several recommendations. I'm pretty sure your computer could run BZFlag! It could certainly run Ur-Quan Masters -- though that may not be enough of an action game for your friend. Also...

Just chatted with one of the HIB5 guys, Adam M, about the update for Limbo ('Linux version'). He said the appropriate people are working on it and to sit tight for a while.

That's the...

I think Mupen64Plus is indeed the best choice. You run it from the command line, of course: mupen64plus ~/path/to/rom.z64

My config file is at ~/.config/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.cfg

I find my...

Commenting out another function declaration further down as well, allowed me to log into my account. I'm marking this as solved, because I'm in now. But there are a whole host of new xsession...

Thank you cariboo907. That didn't fix the problem: after moving the key pair, I still can't log in. However, root access let me troubleshoot a bit. I still need help though.

I've looked in...

I'm far from a computer expert of any kind, but I understand this goes for Windows as much as for Linux. Unrestricted physical access gives an attacker free reign.

According to wikipedia,

Hello,

My rsa passphrase seems to be locking me out of one of the accounts on my notebook running Ubuntu Maverick.

I have an administrator account and an every-day account on this computer. In...
