If you are using the latest NVidia drivers, there is a setting in the control panel for aspect ratio scaling. Otherwise, what I would recommend is opening the registry ("regedit" in terminal) then......

sudo apt-get remove --purge wine

Actually, Doom 3 also has a native Linux version available. If I'm not mistaken, all games on the Gamer's Arena are native Linux games.

Try seeing if it might be hidden: System > Preferences > Main Menu in Gnome. Not sure what the KDE equivalent is.

So I've got an interesting situation. I'm sure many of you (or at least the HP laptop owners) know of the round of HP laptops that came out with faulty wireless, specifically the DV models. Well, I'd...

I had a similar problem with Java not too long ago. It wasn't in Firefox, but checking my Java at that Javatester link I find that it appears to work.

What I did to get mine functioning was to...

As for the first point about formatting Ozzy, you are correct.

As for software, anything you installed via Synaptic or .deb packages will need to be reinstalled (as will anything that isn't...

I have some issues with my wireless mouse on boot. In Windows (and previously in Ubuntu, although it doesn't do this anymore) it would automatically recognize my wireless receiver and my mouse would...

As eldragon said, one of the nice things is you keep your files. In addition, it will save all your settings - so if for some reason you need to reinstall Ubuntu, your desktop will more or less be...

It'd probably be kind of slow, but you'd have to share your music on laptop A, then in Amarok you want to open the mp3s that are in that share. A symlink in your music folder on laptop B to link to...

I've got all my codecs downloaded - I can play mp3s in Rhythmbox and other audio players without issue, but Flash mp3 players in particular don't work for me. Their download progress fills to 100%,...

Nice guide indeed. I've learned some things here.

Incorrect. After installing Wine on your laptop, all you would need to do is copy the ".wine" folder from your home directory to your home directory on the laptop, then the setup would be exactly...

I'd be inclined to say that either your /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file is owned by someone other than root. Make sure that, for shadow, owner should be root:shadow and permissions should be 640.

If you haven't already, try adding the -opengl flag to Warcraft 3 arguments. I believe that fixed my problem.

I've tried just about everything I can think of, but the media buttons on my keyboard (play/pause, stop, next, previous) only work in Rhythmbox. Volume controls also work fine in Gnome, but I can't...

Create the directory .kde/socket-TheCesspool in your home directory and it should work.

Oh please. Photoshop is superior to GIMP in just about every sense from what I have seen (and I've used both of them). Especially if someone already knows Photoshop. There's nothing wrong with...

And you think that by running Mathematica under Wine, this would somehow fix a problem with Compiz?

Both Wine and Compiz are beta (read: not bug free) and you shouldn't go around looking to fix...

I don't know if Nestopia has an option for this, but I was having a similar problem in ZSNES which I fixed by setting the sound sampling rate to 48000 KHz

Why don't you just use the native Linux version? If you have a license already you should be able to just download the Linux copy of it.

Does it matter? Maybe he just wants to use Word.

I've done this before.

Follow the directions on http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/doom/ and then download Doom 3 from Steam. Navigate to Doom 3's directory and find the .pk4 files that the...

The Nvidia installer seems straightforward enough, but I've always borked my X Windows when using it.
