Install Issue (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 month ago by Squizzy@lemmy.world to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hey so I legitimately own C&C remastered. I cannot find my huge dvd case game and got the repack instead.

I install it on steam using setup.exe and forcing proton 9.something.

I get it to install, it crashes due to some dependency issue. I hope to solve that issue but my main concern is where does it install, why can't I just see it in the list of games in my library? All I see is the setup.exe in the list.

Disclaimer. New to everything mentioned here, linux, steam, repacks pc gaming. The works.

I am trying to install gopher64 through the flathub link on their git. Mint is supposed to have support baked in but it is saying there is no associated program and I cant find one.

Any advice?

I am looking to have a physical switch installed in my living room to control the PC.

  • Is it a possibility to have that, are there issues to be considered?

  • I am thinking a fancy looking wood and press clicky switch with good travel. Suppliers?

  • Volume would also be great to have.

Any avice appreciated.

Firstly, don't think I am loaded here this is an ideal list that I will chip away at over time - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xVL9kf

I am looking at getting a fractal desigm north xl second hand, I presume there is no danger in that other than standard non new concerns.

Are case models universal or will I need a specific motherboard and then specific cpu/gpu etc.?

I just want something as a proof of concept that this can be for me. I am aware I am the problem.

But everything is wildly difficult for me. I pulled back from docker after realising it was above my skillset, I just want to try home assisstant with a few lights but fair enough it is beyond me.

I opted to install a game, fail. Learn about wine and bottles. Start a bottle and get told I only have 8gb free in directory, I cannot for the life of me see where it is getting that from.

Please god someone tell me there is a step by step for the fucking imbeciles out there on where to start!?

Hi all! I am running some recent version of Mint. I have been away for a bit but came back and thenpc reads 0 bytes free. Ooening the directory shows tons of files in home/private/ecryptfs some as small at 12MB and some as big as 170GB.

I tried to get some info but the terminal returned nothing on them, thought it might be shit and I dont have anything precious on it so I moved to delete but was told there are no such files when I did. I tried to sudo remove but got permission denied.

At this point, realising I dont have this connected to the web, and it hasnt been switched on in months despite the files showing ages 1-6 months - I thought an aold fashioned reboot would solve but now Mint won't let me passed the password login.

It recognises incorrect passwords but correct ones give a quick flash of a black screen with a typing marker flashing and back to login.

Any direction appreciated.

Hi All,

I am looking at starting a project and was wondering if there was a way to make it so a controller type changed boot conditions. I want to move to linux for my home entertainment and would like to have a ps5 controller boot Lutris and a different controller boot into something like KDE plasma.

Is this a possibility or nonsense?

Play Store is Bad (lemmy.world)
submitted 6 months ago by Squizzy@lemmy.world to c/android@lemmy.world

The playstore is really poorly laid out. I dont know how to leave a review anymore. Every description has the same nonsense first instead of a description. Sometimes you can select the app developer to load their page with all their apps and sometimes you can't. When did it get so bad?

I just wanted to flag an issue with an app and the review function isnt there.

Hey! So I have always wanted to make the jump to linux and pc gaming and figured I would do them both together. I would not consider myself techy, just aout tech literate in that I am aware of how much I dont know.

I have linux mint, on a mid to late i5 w/16gb memory. I wanted initially to make a home server but I have jusy been poking around and ended up trying to play all the games I have in attic through emulators and the like.

So I got loads of emulators, I use Cartridge which is a Lutris fork. It just seemed cleaner and worked when I tried it out. In that I had been booting into PCSX2 and finally playing MK Deception again. After three evenings poking and gaming PCSX2 shuts down every time I try to boot a game.

I have uninstalled, reinstalled and changed from 1.7.xx to 2.2 to the nightly 2.3 (I think). I cannot get it to work.

I have so many questions but if I could get back to Konquest I would be so happy, and bother you all later.

Hey,

I recently made the jump to linux. I wanted to sart PC gaming and figured I would start as I mean to go on.

I am having an issue with getting my ps5 controller connected. Steam recognises it, everything mapped fine. I open pcsx2 and it thinks its a dualshock 2. I cannot get it to work in game. I have remapped and everything but when I get to a menu, the D pad will work but selecting an option won't.

Any advice appreciated.

Can someone please tell me why the gmail android app does not allow for this? Is there some system condition that disables this feature. It is surely related to android becuase iOS has signature matching.

Google owns every step of this.

To be fair to the yanks, you sowed us nice boobies and we showed you our pale arses, cocaine and videos of 9/11.

This girl should not get the blame here.

There is one thing for uber wealthy people to act poor but I dont care if a wealthy person finds happiness in a frugal lifestyle. Sharing in cultures is vital to the human experience.

Yeah, they have failed to take hold of much of Ukraine in 10 years of invading. Even less in the last 2 amd change.

They did manage to lose 300,000+ directly in the war and more that fled their shithole country.

Russia is a loser country.

Someone made a post years ago of all the super users and I blocked them all and it was a really fun experience until others rose up again and I didn't have a list.

I ended up blocking anyone with 6 digit post karma that I came across.

As someone who curses quite a bit, going to America was an eye opener. People who weren't even in the conversation were taking offense. I didn't realise it was so taboo there. Cunt is never said and it's like a 20 a day word for me.

Maybe just build train tracks, for efficiency? Make sure to get their gold teeth before they board.

I trust nothing on there anymore, it is very difficult to wade through the crap. All I want is a 3m HDMI 2.1 cable and I don't believe what I'm getting.

It's like chinavasion but with better marketing.

Surely there is a discussion to be had around what is and isn't allowed, there are plenty of subreddits discussing piracy without dolirect links that are playing within the rules.
