I just tested a new W530 with Ubuntu 12.04. Sadly the NVidia GPU is not detected, even with it set up in the BIOS - all it sees is a low-res unaccelerated VGA-compatible driver. This is maybe not...

You can get it to run faster by changing the settings. For example, reduce the water effects, texture quality, etc.

The servers are in the east coast of the US, fairly cheap ones though, so don't...

Thanks guys, with the pae kernel things look ok :)

I installed 32-bit 10.04, and only see 2GB of the 4GB available:



$ free -m

Yeah, it certainly can. It might take a little setting up though, for that, but nothing serious.

Very different engines, useful for different things. Some points:

Irrlicht is more general purpose
Irrlicht has sound etc. modules, but they aren't FOSS
The Intensity Engine specializes in...

We just launched a new game on Syntensity, a co-op FPS, called Razanak. There is a YouTube Video, and a screenshot here:

Hi everyone, wanted to let you know about some updates:


We have a new racing game, which you can see in this video and this screenshot:
...

For that direction, you can use gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_data.

This should work:


pixel_string = pb.get_pixels()

assuming pb is a PyGTK pixbuf.

I want to show an app inside another app. That is, my app is a 3D renderer, and I'd like to show other currently running apps inside it. For example, if Firefox is running, to show Firefox inside my...

Then removing it with apt-get should work.

What error do you get?

How did you install it?

There are plenty of such tools, probably more than on Windows. But the vast majority will likely be console tools, which might take a little getting used to if you are coming from Windows. It's worth...

I'm not familiar with pcap, but a quick google seems to say that calling pcap_breakloop will halt pcap_loop. So how about starting a thread before calling pcap_loop, and after 20 seconds it calls...

Many Bittorrent clients support protocol encryption, which 'hides' the protocol, so ISPs can't easily throttle it. No idea about Transmission, but for example Deluge does.

Encryption isn't...

Sure, that's possible. It would be best to add those features to Syntensity itself, and I'd help with work on the patches. For example, currently we have instant messaging between members logged on...

I use Gandi for domains and Linode for hosting. Both are great in my experience.

Gandi costs a little more than cheap domain registrars, but they give much better service and aren't 'shady' like...

Well, right now, you can create games in Syntensity and run them on Syntensity's servers (or your own, of course). Those games would be in the main catalog, which can be seen here (in raw form)....

Glad you like it :)

But we can't take all the credit for that, as most of the rendering stuff is due to Sauerbraten, and we are really thankful for the work they did (and support they give us)....

Yeah, that is definitely something we are thinking about. It has to be done right, though, because if you can change how you look in every game, you can 'cheat', like by making yourself very very...

Strange, http://www.syntensity.com:8888/accounts/register/ works for me.

What error are you getting?

Playdeb just packaged it for 9.04, 32&64-bit: link :)

As for 64-bit, I don't know much about how that works, but I have heard that


sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture PACKAGE.deb
should let...

I'd like to bring your attention to a new open source platform for multiplayer 3D games, Syntensity. Here is a screenshot of the lobby (from where you can enter portals that send you into different...

Yeah, exec isn't a function, and Python lambdas are a little limited. So you would need to write a function. But a generic one will work, like this:


def do_exec(cmd): exec(cmd)
