| senorpedro | hi folks | 01:10 |
| senorpedro | is it possible to deactivate some kde services for good? | 01:10 |
| senorpedro | e.g. the printer service, bluetooth service, kwalletd, ... are all services i dont need | 01:11 |
| senorpedro | but they run and need ram | 01:11 |
| stittel | senorpedro: Check the KDE Service Manager in the Settings. | 01:15 |
| === Guest35449 is now known as LjL-Temp | ||
| === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest72721 | ||
| senorpedro | stittel, yeah i checked that, i deactivated nepomuk there. but there is no possibility to deactivate the printer service, bluetooth service, kwalletd | 01:17 |
| stittel | senorpedro: Hm, quite frankly, on my desktop here (running openSUSE though) there is no printer service or bluetooth or kwallet in memory. | 01:21 |
| senorpedro | well i have kubuntun | 01:21 |
| senorpedro | -n | 01:21 |
| stittel | senorpedro: Of course that you have bluetooth and I don't could be explained if you use a notebook with bluetooth. | 01:22 |
| senorpedro | my computer has no bluetooth, thats why i dont need the service | 01:22 |
| stittel | senorpedro: Is there a package for KDE bluetooth support you can remove without messing up the system? | 01:22 |
| senorpedro | very good idea, there is a package. unfortunately, when trying to purge that, aptitude wants to remove kubuntu-desktop too. | 01:24 |
| senorpedro | so thats no option | 01:25 |
| stittel | senorpedro: Now I haven't been using Kubuntu for 4 years, but back then just removing the kubuntu-desktop package was not necessarily a problem. | 01:26 |
| stittel | senorpedro: 1) If you use manual cleaning tools like deborphan, you need to acknowledge a long list of packages for keeping. But most people don't use software like deporphan. | 01:27 |
| stittel | senorpedro: 2) Before upgrading to the next release, the kubuntu-desktop metapackage should be reinstalled. | 01:28 |
| stittel | senorpedro: If it just wants to remove the kubuntu-desktop metapackage but not gazillions of other packages, well, nothing bad will happen (and you can always reinstall kubuntu-desktop). | 01:29 |
| senorpedro | stittel, you are right. aptitude just removes the kubuntu-desktop metapackage. i purged the 3 services. thank you very much | 01:30 |
| stittel | senorpedro: Glad it worked. | 01:31 |

| gurubien | Question, is anyone having an issue with Adobe Flash Player in youtube? | 04:47 |
| gurubien | Like a Red layer over the video | 04:47 |
| * Daskreech doesn't have flash installed | 04:59 | |
| valorie | gurubien: it might help if you tell us more about your setup | 05:03 |
| * valorie has flash, but no problems | 05:03 | |
| valorie | aside from slow loading, but that isn't Kub's problem | 05:03 |
| valorie | heh, a friend who uses gnome just mentioned the same problem | 05:04 |
| valorie | so I don't think it is a KDE-related issue | 05:05 |
| gurubien | I think so too | 05:05 |
| nata | what web browser you using? | 05:06 |
| gurubien | Plus it's only happen with youtube | 05:06 |
| gurubien | Firefox 3.6.14 | 05:06 |
| gurubien | The weird thing is that if you open the same video on a pop-up windows. It doesn't happen | 05:07 |
| valorie | friend solved it with minitube | 05:08 |
| gurubien | Embed youtube videos neither | 05:08 |
| valorie | she's heard it's happening in Chromium as well as FF | 05:09 |
| gurubien | Also tested Megavideo, dailymotion and nothing, it's only happens on youtube | 05:09 |
| valorie | you could try Rekonq, or Konq | 05:09 |
| nata | i think that is not red line. in youtube that is small red button with text | 05:10 |
| Daskreech | seems to be an issue with adobe | 05:10 |
| gurubien | flash ver. 10.3.162.29-0ubuntu0~sevenmachines2 | 05:10 |
| gurubien | 64bits | 05:11 |
| nata | maybe could try flash 32bits version | 05:11 |
| gurubien | the 32bits, didn't works before. That's why I switch to 64bits | 05:13 |
| gurubien | I tried it on Konq and it works. | 05:13 |
| gurubien | I only get this issue on Firefox | 05:13 |
| Daskreech | can't say i've ever heard of it going in that direction before | 05:14 |
| Daskreech | people always have issues with 64 bits and go to 32 | 05:14 |

| spawn57 | hi, how do i configure which notification system I want to use in kubuntu? KDE is displaying gnome's notification style atm | 13:49 |
| mfraz74 | spawn57: what version of KDE? | 13:50 |
| spawn57 | 4.6.1 | 13:51 |
| BluesKaj | spawn57, do you have gnome-desktop installed as well? | 13:52 |
| spawn57 | um..might have | 13:52 |
| BluesKaj | look in the kmenu for gnome apps like brasero, then you'll knoe you still have gnome , or did at one time. | 13:53 |
| BluesKaj | err know | 13:54 |
| spawn57 | i think I had gnome-desktop instaleld at one time, to try it out, but have removed it since | 13:54 |
| BluesKaj | spawn57, removong the gnome-desktop won't remove the gnome apps | 13:57 |
| BluesKaj | hence a lot of gnome sttings are left behind and you still may be running gdm the gnome display manager , on kubunru you want to use kdm , altho that in itdelf doesn't rid you the gnome apps | 13:59 |
| * BluesKaj checks his KB batteries | 13:59 | |

| Alonea | hi, I am trying to decide on a new destro for my netbook. I have an EEE 1001P that I will be upgrading to 2 gigs of ram next week. I mainly use Chrome for browsing, take notes in OpenOffice (or something), Skype for video chat with family, and programming/etc. using things like C/C++, QT, MATLAB, OpenGL, and some other stuff for classes. Have had wifi and audio issues in the past. | 16:11 |
| vanguard | Alonea: Kubuntu I'd say :) | 16:12 |
| Alonea | is it stable? the netbook edition? | 16:12 |
| vanguard | Alonea: I used Ubuntu 10.04 NetBook, it was awesome, Now I use Kubuntu 10.10 Desktop, very good too | 16:13 |
| Alonea | had ubuntu when I first got it and the hardware was a mess. wifi was a battle to get working, audio issues such the speakers not switching the headphones, built in mic wouldn't always work. | 16:13 |
| vanguard | Alonea: Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook threw me off because of Unity, I don't like it. And KDE's netbook is not my liking | 16:13 |
| vanguard | Alonea: I use an Asus 1005 HA and it works like a charm | 16:13 |

| Alonea | I switched to KDE for a day I think almost a year ago and I messed up the desktop in 5 minutes and had to delete my profile and start over. Is it any better now? | 16:14 |
| Alonea | oh! another important thing to me. Touchpad. It has to work properly. | 16:15 |
| Alonea | had many many issues in the past. thing would go haywire and paste text I never highlighted, would move cursor back midsentence while typing, that sort of thing. Made it really hard to use. | 16:16 |
| BluesKaj | a lot of ppl are using plain jane kubuntu on their netbooks , the netbook versions leave siomething to be desired from what I've seen in the support chatrs | 16:16 |
| vanguard | Alonea: I had no problems with Trackpad on 10.04 and 10.10, the scrolling on the side of the area works fine too. I have not tried to use more gestures on it. | 16:17 |
| Alonea | ok. I can try out the desktop version. I am not too worried about functionality. I just would like my hardware to work properly. I can happily say this thing has never had windows but for the 5 minutes it had it when I bought it. | 16:18 |
| vanguard | Alonea: I used 7 for several months, and it was not *that* bad :) | 16:19 |
| Alonea | actually, the wifi has been a mystery to me and I wonder if this is a kernel issue as I am getting the same problem on my android phones. I love Windows 7 on my desktop, but my netbook is windows free. | 16:19 |
| Alonea | but then all I do on my desktop is watch movies and play games so 7 is well suited. | 16:20 |
| vanguard | Alonea: Gaming (hardcore) on Linux does not work, I only play casually, so Kubuntu is enough for me :) | 16:22 |
| Alonea | the thing with wifi for me is after a while (Anywhere from 30 mins to a couple hours) I lose internet. It says I am still connected, but I get nothing. So I have to turn the wifi off and on and it works again. I get the same problem on my android. yet all of the mac and windows laptops in this apartment never have a problem | 16:22 |
| Alonea | vanguard: yeah, I play WoW, Civ5, random FPS, photoshop, bryce, 3dsmax, and the list of software that will never work in linux goes on... | 16:23 |
| joehannes | hmm ... ok, so it should work, thx | 16:24 |

| === Guest63306 is now known as LjL-Temp | ||

| BluesKaj | Alonea, well, MS spends millions making their OSs as do the companies that want their stuff to work on the Windows platform...compare that to the Linux community and the answer is obvious | 16:27 |
| JoeMoney | I just installed kubuntu 10.10 on my aspire one AO751h and installed the poulsbo drivers... once restarted, it fixed the resolution and lagginess of the display but my taskbar doesn't strecth the whole width of the display | 16:28 |
| Alonea | vanguard: 20 gigs more than enough for root still? | 16:31 |
| vanguard | Alonea: I use 9.2G of my root partition, but I got stuff like Urban Terror (1.4 G) and so on | 16:33 |
| vanguard | Alonea: So 20G should be fine | 16:34 |
| Alonea | vanguard: figured. I used to only have 10 when I did linux on laptops 3-4 years ago, but upped it to 20 when I got this netbook. I tend to load it with lots of random stuff I want to try out...not like I can't spare the space. | 16:35 |
| vanguard | Alonea: I got this machine pretty balanced, I use 90% of the installed software, and I got just 10G installed | 16:36 |
| Alonea | vanguard: ok, this "startup disk creator" is this available for other distros? Trying to figure out how to make the usb stick | 16:37 |
| vanguard | Alonea: letme check, w9 | 16:38 |
| BluesKaj | my / is 14G and only 44% used | 16:38 |
| Alonea | vanguard: worst case I transfer the iso to my winbox and do it from there | 16:39 |
| vanguard | KPackageKit does not show the package name, but it is called "Startup Disk Createor 0.2.25", maybe you find it somewhere | 16:39 |

| Alonea | shane4ubuntu: I have no other way of installing. any ideas? my bios settings seem normal (not like I have much to set on this thing anyways) | 17:13 |
| shane4ubuntu | Alonea: no ideas here, sorry, I have a DVD drive, so I just switched and did it that way, on another laptop that the dvd drive didn't work, I just upgraded, it was time consuming (slow connection) and carries some risks | 17:14 |
| shane4ubuntu | are you upgrading? or doing a fresh install? | 17:14 |
| Alonea | shane4ubuntu: fresh. | 17:14 |
| vanguard | shane4ubuntu: coming from slackware | 17:15 |
| Alonea | shane4ubuntu: from slackware. | 17:15 |
| shane4ubuntu | hmm, perhaps try the 10.04 with usb and then upgrade? or jump into the 11.04 if you don't mind running some beta stuff. | 17:15 |
| shane4ubuntu | I wish I had a good answer, but I didn't mess around with it, or try a 10.10 Ubuntu, or Lubuntu, or Xubuntu installation, and then cross over? | 17:16 |
| Alonea | ok, I found out what's wrong...need a later version of syslinux. gah. why can't this stuff just frigging work | 17:17 |
| vanguard | Alonea: because it is linux, and it wants attention? :) | 17:18 |
| shane4ubuntu | It is like a pet and likes to be petted. | 17:18 |
| Alonea | >.< | 17:18 |
| vanguard | Alonea: If you want something out of the box, get an iPad ;-P | 17:19 |
| shane4ubuntu | I look at it this way, Windows has issues too, but you pay $$$ for those issues, at least in Linux they are free. :) | 17:19 |
| Alonea | shane4ubuntu: yeah, but I have no issues with W7. and I didn't have to pay for it either as a student | 17:19 |
| shane4ubuntu | Alonea: what??? free w7 for students??? no, you usually pay a student fee. | 17:20 |
| Alonea | shane4ubuntu: nope. cs kids get it free here. Professional Edition. MSDNAA | 17:20 |
| shane4ubuntu | wow, news to me. | 17:21 |
| Alonea | shane4ubuntu: your department has to have MSDNAA (Academic Alliance) so basically the department pays for it. | 17:21 |
| scb | Hi! I am using KDE4.6 with kubuntu 10.10. Can I ask support questions here, or should I take this to #kde (considering that KDE4.6 comes from backports)? | 17:21 |
| shane4ubuntu | I booted into my windows partition I keep hangning around because it came on my computer, and I just can't stand the slowness of it, granted it was Vista, but none the less. I digress | 17:22 |
| vanguard | scb: maybe even kde devel | 17:22 |
| shane4ubuntu | scb: ask away | 17:22 |
| shane4ubuntu | scb: actually KDE4.6 went to KDE4.6.1 today or yesterday | 17:22 |
| scb | Ah well, I guess I have to update. | 17:23 |
| scb | Well my issue is this: I have an Intel graphic adapter. I am trying to set up dual display with my laptop. The thing is that when I hook up the other monitor to the laptop it works fine until something that uses desktop effects kicks in (like Alt tabbing). | 17:23 |
| Alonea | ok, this is odd, according to syslinux: As of 2010-10-19, Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) uses Syslinux 4.01 with GFXBoot.c32 (now officially included) and includes several special patches to allow gfxboot to use some configuration directives that were originally intented to be used only with the simple menu modules (menu.c32/vesamenu.c32). One of these patches will be included in 4.03 but the others are currently still under review. | 17:24 |
| Alonea | but that wasn't the version it said on boot... | 17:24 |
| scb | With effects on, in the secondary screen (my laptop screen in this case) a chunk of the primary screen gets pushed onto it. | 17:24 |
| * shane4ubuntu runs from the intel dual display problem, again. | 17:24 | |
| scb | shane4ubuntu: has happened before? I googled I swear. | 17:25 |
| shane4ubuntu | scb: you weren't in here a couple of weeks ago asking about dual monitor with intel were you? | 17:25 |
| scb | No. | 17:25 |
| shane4ubuntu | scb try updating/upgrading and see if that fixes it, may save you time, if not, someone was helping someone else on something similar to this, but I don't remember details. I know nothing of intel setup, I use nvidia. | 17:26 |

| scb | shane4ubuntu: That's what I am going to do first. I'll be back in a while. | 17:30 |
| shane4ubuntu | scb, hopefully that will fix it. | 17:30 |
| Alonea | shane4ubuntu: vanguard: going to try latest version of UNetbootin. Maybe that will use the right syslinux. | 17:31 |
| shane4ubuntu | Alonea: hopefully, I didn't think of that. | 17:32 |
| Alonea | shane4ubuntu: according to forums it seems it will. methinks somebody should fix the usbcreator that comes with the iso. | 17:33 |
| shane4ubuntu | Alonea: yeah, a bug report needs to be filed for that. | 17:34 |
| Alonea | shane4ubuntu: well, probably already has as this issues has been here since last Nov, if not earlier | 17:35 |
| Alonea | shane4ubuntu: well, UNetbootin worked. Thankfully | 17:39 |
| shane4ubuntu | Alonea: ahh, great, thanks for letting me know, | 17:40 |
| Alonea | shane4ubuntu: just make sure if you are using ubuntu that its updated. for many it isn't. | 17:40 |

| Alonea | FAIL...I have to register computer to use on school network...but rekonq fails at this. java script errors galore. and not other preinstalled browser? | 18:11 |
| Peace- | Alonea:should be a firefox installer | 18:12 |
| Alonea | Peace-: doesn't seem to be working. | 18:14 |
| Alonea | Peace-: says I don't have it in the repo | 18:15 |
| Peace- | Alonea: open a konsole | 18:15 |
| Peace- | Alonea: sudo apt-get install firefox | 18:15 |
| Alonea | Peace-: says not available | 18:16 |
| Peace- | Alonea: you have a connection ? | 18:16 |
| Peace- | i mean internet connection ? | 18:16 |
| Alonea | Peace-: no. I can't get one until I register computer. I can't register computer with this rekonq thing. it just throws java script errors. | 18:17 |
| Alonea | Peace-: I will just install FF from source | 18:18 |
| Peace- | Alonea: you are on line right now | 18:19 |
| Peace- | Alonea: you should get the deb | 18:20 |
| Alonea | Peace-: from where? firefox.com just gave me tar.bz2. not deb | 18:20 |

| apparle | hello guys | 19:43 |
| shadeslayer | apparle: hi | 19:45 |
| === MuzerAway is now known as Muzer | ||
| apparle | hey... it is not a support question, I was just wondering about general people | 19:46 |
| apparle | :P | 19:46 |
| yofel | apparle: I did replace my old nvidia 7200GT with a 250GTS a while ago, but that was more for the sake of gaming than actual need | 19:46 |
| apparle | also I was wondering, does nvidia provide good enough linux support or it also drops customers after some years like ati | 19:47 |
| apparle | yofel: 250gts for how much | 19:47 |
| shadeslayer | nVidia is definitely better than ATi | 19:47 |
| shadeslayer | and that pains me... since i was thinking of buying the new MBP | 19:48 |
| yofel | there are working graphics drivers for maverick for cards older than 10 years (although it took them a while to add the support and us even longer to package that :S) | 19:48 |
| yofel | the 250GTS is about 100€ from what I see, can't remember how much I payed back then | 19:50 |
| apparle | hmmm | 19:50 |
| apparle | I am thinking of 9500GT. its is for simple gaming and normal videos, what say | 19:51 |
| apparle | I was just worried if 9xxx series would be too old and may become legacy soon | 19:52 |
| yofel | that'll probably be enough, I remembered that I bought the card since the 7200 supports neither vdpau nor cuda + it was rather slow.. | 19:52 |
| apparle | yofel: any idea on that ^ As to how frequently they declare them as legacy | 19:52 |
| apparle | shadeslayer: personal opinion: stay away from ati | 19:52 |
| yofel | well, the 9XXX is legacy compared to the 4XX, but even the current nvidia driver still supports 6XXX cards | 19:53 |
| apparle | shadeslayer: my onboard GPU caused so many problems with linux | 19:53 |
| shadeslayer | apparle: it switches to intel to save power | 19:53 |
| shadeslayer | so idk how it would work | 19:53 |
| apparle | shadeslayer: what | 19:54 |
| shadeslayer | apparle: switchable graphics card | 19:54 |
| shadeslayer | it has the Intel 3000 HD and a ATi Card | 19:54 |
| apparle | yofel: also, I have foxconn RC4107MA and Pentium D and 1.5GB RAM, would it be any performace improvement if I add in a 9500 | 19:55 |
| apparle | shadeslayer: if you plan to use linux then avoid ATi | 19:55 |
| shadeslayer | yeah | 19:55 |
| * shadeslayer will try | 19:55 | |
| yofel | err, no idea, but I doubt unless someone starts to implement parts of Qt in OpenCL | 19:55 |
| shadeslayer | apparle: altho i bet fglrx supports the newer cards | 19:56 |
| yofel | if the 9500 supports that, never bothered to look at OpenCL too much | 19:56 |
| apparle | shadeslayer: My MoBo southbridge is from ATi and it required quirks for sound. and for last 3 version I have to create bugs for graphics drivers and get them fixed, and performace is horrible | 19:57 |
| apparle | yofel: from gaming point of view | 19:57 |
| apparle | yofel: and performace of kwin | 19:57 |
| shadeslayer | ouch | 19:58 |
| apparle | shadeslayer: but you don't know when they will drop support for the new cards | 19:58 |
| apparle | yofel: what | 19:58 |
| yofel | well, kwin performance will probably be better, but somehow that is hard to measure | 19:58 |
| apparle | yofel: right now when I close a window, its entry in the taskbar/manager takes 3-4 secs to disappear | 19:59 |
| yofel | o.O | 19:59 |
| apparle | yofel: and worst, in natty there is supposedly a new driver. Screen goes black if I enable kwin and if I don't then every alternate line is corrupted | 20:00 |
| shadeslayer | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-1/Natty | 20:01 |
| shadeslayer | oooh | 20:01 |
| apparle | yofel: that's why I thought I would buy a nvidia | 20:01 |
| yofel | apparle: that's an ATI card? | 20:01 |
| yofel | I do remember someone in +1 telling the same | 20:01 |
| apparle | yofel: onboard gpu Xpress Radeon 200 | 20:01 |
| yofel | ah | 20:02 |
| apparle | yofel: btw can you direct me to the right person to get this fixed before natty releases | 20:02 |
| yofel | yeah, the open source drivers work odd from what I hear - and IIRC ati doesn't give fglrx support long for the xpress cards | 20:02 |
| apparle | yofel: mine was 3 years old when they dropped support | 20:03 |
| yofel | apparle: no idea, if you have a bug filed you can probably ask in #ubuntu-x if you need to add anything more | 20:03 |
| yofel | apparle: yeah, that sounds like what I hear usually as timeframe | 20:03 |
| apparle | yofel: 3 years is unfair.... normally people don't change their computers so fast | 20:04 |
| yofel | nouveau (open source nvidia driver) isn't really great either - but works well considering it's done by reverse engeneering and nvidia does give proper support for it's cards | 20:04 |
| apparle | shadeslayer: why are you thinking of a mac | 20:04 |
| yofel | apparle: agreed, but the cards are supposed to be supported by the open source driver - if that doesn't work then I don't know | 20:04 |
| shadeslayer | apparle: unibody aluminium, great build quality, great specs, ( thunderbolt ? :P ) | 20:05 |
| apparle | shadeslayer: what use is thunderbolt if you don't have devices | 20:05 |
| apparle | shadeslayer: why not alienware | 20:05 |
| shadeslayer | apparle: not right now there are no devices, they will come soonish | 20:05 |
| shadeslayer | apparle: i'm not buying a dell again | 20:06 |
| shadeslayer | i have a XPS right now | 20:06 |
| shadeslayer | and it's supposed to be a high end system | 20:06 |
| apparle | shadeslayer: be practical, in india it will take enough time for these devices to become affordable and useful | 20:06 |
| yofel | macbooks sure are nice, but I usually only hear issues with the hardware support all the time - so I'm not going to bother. Thinkpads cost the same and work fine with equal specs | 20:06 |
| apparle | shadeslayer: don't compare alienware with xps, that is a altogether different class | 20:07 |
| shadeslayer | yofel: alot of the developers had macbooks at UDS, so i guess they can be made to work | 20:07 |
| shadeslayer | someone even did a post on it | 20:07 |
| shadeslayer | apparle: seeing how Dell has taken over Alienware.... i don't trust them | 20:07 |
| yofel | ok, then we just have a lot of macbook users I guess ^^ | 20:08 |
| apparle | yofel: +1 about hardware issues | 20:08 |
| shadeslayer | it's going to be a close call | 20:08 |
| shadeslayer | Thinkpad or MBP | 20:08 |
| zkriesse | Oi, you guys got a Kubuntu wiki channel? | 20:08 |
| yofel | I do wonder if that magic trackpad would work with my non-apple desktop though ^^ | 20:08 |
| yofel | that it uses bluetooth is probably not a good start | 20:08 |
| shadeslayer | zkriesse: talk to DarkwingDuck in #kubuntu-devel | 20:09 |
| zkriesse | shadeslayer: Heh, he's the one who recruited me | 20:10 |

| gartuz | hola | 22:54 |
| toby | hello all | 23:14 |
| toby | very new to linux and in particular kubuntu. trying to get wine to work and i cant seem to get it to work any ideas? | 23:15 |
| james147 | toby: what application and version of wine? not all applications work with wine... | 23:17 |
| toby | well i was trying to install magic workstation a program used to play magic the gathering idk what wine version i suppose the latest one from the website | 23:17 |
| toby | idk if it is installed correctly | 23:18 |
| james147 | toby: you supose? ^^ how did you insatll it, and what actual version ("wine --version" sould tell you) | 23:19 |
| toby | i downloaded the file off the website and ran it | 23:19 |
| james147 | toby: which file? | 23:19 |
| toby | let me look | 23:19 |
| toby | 1.3 i think | 23:20 |
| toby | taking a look at this kpakageit tool | 23:21 |
| toby | should i use this to install wine? | 23:21 |
| toby | http://www.magicworkstation.com/downloads.php | 23:22 |
| toby | that is the file i would like to install on my system | 23:23 |
| james147 | toby: you should install wine from the kpackagekit... adding the wines ppa first | 23:23 |
| james147 | toby: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb << but use kpackagekit instead of software sources | 23:23 |
| toby | how will i know if a program is able to run in wine? | 23:24 |
| james147 | toby: this might also be of help: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=5661 | 23:25 |
| toby | i guess i dont understand that.... i right clicked you link and pasted to browser..... got a bunch of gibberish | 23:27 |
| james147 | toby: ^^ make sure it copyed right | 23:28 |
| toby | never mind i guess copy and paste works better then open link in browser | 23:28 |
| james147 | or go to http://appdb.winehq.org/ and search for magic workshop | 23:28 |
