  1. [lubuntu] Shell Script for automating WOW launch (Wine 1.4 & .sh)

    Since the latest PPA build really borked my framerate, I figured I'd try to reinstall Wine 1.4. That means I have to manually run an applet with --nohttpauth. I can do this manually by copy-pasting a...

    Which kernel version, if you don't mind my asking?

    Re: Dell Duo Setup Guide

    Can you find out what they did to patch it, and get them to submit it upstream?

    Re: Dell Duo Setup Guide

    That's a running issue. tl;dr is that some nimrods way far upstream are sticking their fingers in their ears and refusing to issue a patch, and claiming that its Dell's problem to fix.

    Re: Dell Duo Setup Guide

    Ok, so having finally gotten up off my butt to test this, I've got some pretty good news.

    On Lubuntu, at least, the power manager issues seem to be intermittently fixed. I say intermittently...

    I can make a few guesses, but most of them involve hid-multitouch being excessively new and needing a lot more testing.

    Dang it, now I'm going to have to try that again. Under anything prior, trying to plug or unplug while suspended always gave me a black screen of death.

    Re: Dell Duo Setup Guide

    From what I gather, the answer is most likely to be "never fix." The BIOS issue is officially a Dell problem, according to the kernel folks upstream. Ubuntu can patch it easily enouh, but from a...

    Re: Dell Duo Setup Guide

    Type CD and then the path to the folder that contains the setup script. For example:

    CD /home/hgrahamcull/Downloads/Sample_Folder

    Helps if you remove spaces from the stack of folders, though....

    Re: Dell Duo Setup Guide

    You have to CD into the directory before running the setup script, or you get that error. That's the step that nobody seems to remember.

    It does. I think the current version is AO2 or something like that.

    You can supposedly run it from a FreeDOS boot USB, but I'm still a little hesitant about it. Too many horror stories about failed BIOS flashes bricking someone's system.

    You can't flash the BIOS on Linux; you need to either assemble a flasher using FreeDos, a USB stick, and the flasher itself; or be running Windows. This is one of those cases where a hardware...

    Sounds like a cop-out if you ask me. Flashing the BIOS is the worst thing you can do to a computer; I've heard more horror stories of failed BIOS flashes than I have successful ones. So instead of...

    See if you can't run eGalaxCalib or whatever the calibration app is called. That might fix things. Otherwise, we're at my limit of expertise and you'll have to wait for someone more skilled.
