| andrew | darnit wine, stop crashing. I hate investing countless hours into a game, just to have it crash out of the blut | 05:14 |
| andrew | blue* | 05:14 |
| mikedep334 | andrew: yeah, I've given up on wine | 05:25 |
| andrew | Honestly, I'm not blaming wine for this issue | 05:27 |
| andrew | Wine keeps me satisfied for hours with age of empires 2 | 05:28 |
| andrew | But this game has a setting to autosave every x minutes, and it keeps the last three autosaves | 05:28 |
| andrew | always crashes during an autosave, so I've set the time to autosave every two minutes (most recent autosave will crash if I load it, so I have to go back one) | 05:29 |
| mikedep334 | andrew: right | 05:29 |
| mikedep334 | but can it run crysis? | 05:29 |
| andrew | Untested theory: turn off all autosaving, won't crash? Dunno, but there isn't much other way to save progress, so I'm hesitant to do so | 05:29 |
| mikedep334 | andrew: right | 05:30 |
| andrew | mikedep334: Possibly: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10107 | 05:30 |
| PennBot | Title: WineHQ - Crysis Crysis 1.x (at appdb.winehq.org) | 05:30 |
| mikedep334 | andrew: ahh, yes. I remember the greatly inconsistent reports on compatibility in appdb.winehq.org | 05:31 |
| mikedep334 | when I do use wine, I try to stick with the stable version | 05:32 |
| mikedep334 | speaking of which, wine 1.2.3 was released 2 days ago | 05:32 |
| mikedep334 | 26014 Printing produces garbled output, characters rotated and sliced. | 05:34 |
| mikedep334 | lol | 05:34 |
| mikedep334 | I need to keep a list of funny bug(fixe)s | 05:34 |
| mikedep334 | I remember hearing that during beta testing of C&C tiberian sun, the GDI orca that could carry vehicles around could actually pick up enemy vehicles | 05:35 |
| andrew | alright, trying with autosave off | 06:04 |
| andrew | (and it crashed on a manual save, go figure) | 07:47 |
| ChinnoDog | mikedep334: does the MX have an ARM version of the repositories available? | 14:12 |
| mikedep334 | ChinnoDog: the Efika MX uses the ports.ubuntu.com repository for main, restricted (which is empty btw), univers & multiverse | 14:47 |
| mikedep334 | http://ports.ubuntu.com/ | 14:47 |
| PennBot | Title: Index of / (at ports.ubuntu.com) | 14:47 |
| mikedep334 | ports.ubuntu.com hosts the armel & powerpc versions of the 4 main ubuntu repos | 14:47 |
| mikedep334 | PPA's are however (almost) non-existant | 14:48 |
| mikedep334 | genesi supplies their own repo for hardware support on the efika mx | 14:48 |
| mikedep334 | http://packages.efikamx.info/ | 14:48 |
| PennBot | Title: Index of / (at packages.efikamx.info) | 14:48 |
| mikedep334 | I don't think I've found any 3rd party apt repositories | 14:49 |
| mikedep334 | backports does have some updates, like chromium | 14:49 |
| mikedep334 | ChinnoDog: unless there's something wrong with my unit that it causing it to perform slower, I am not satisfied with the performance on my efika MX, even if it does cost $130 + $10 shipping | 14:50 |
| mikedep334 | however, when video acceleration is fixed, it should be good at that (it's supposed to even do 720P playback) | 14:50 |
| mikedep334 | ChinnoDog: simply put, even if my efika mx can have its performance issues fixed, there's a lot of rough edges. I would mainly recommend it for someone who wants to tinker. The smartbook is better for less technical people because you don't have to fiddle with making monitors & TVs work properly; its screen "just works" AFAIK. | 17:10 |
| mikedep334 | ChinnoDog: also, simmply put, ARM devices are a whole different ballgame | 17:10 |
| === anduril_ is now known as anduril | ||
| === LucidOne is now known as IdleOne | ||
| ChinnoDog | mikedep334: but even the smartbook lacks 3D acceleration? | 22:52 |
