[16:26] Heroes Of Newerth, Savage2, Steel Storm... [16:26] It doesn't seem to matter, the installer fails. [16:26] jonshaw: wtf they are exe? [16:26] or windows only? [16:26] xD [16:27] sigh... no they're not exe's [16:27] they are the linux versions [16:28] which is the eorr? [16:28] error? [16:28] they all segfault [16:28] jonshaw: paste the correct error.

[16:34] Not that I know of [16:36] It has to be some kind of Gtk/gnome or 32bit dependency issue but I can't find any help [16:37] jonshaw: I'm not that convinced that it is necessarily gtk/gnome dependency issue [16:38] Its pretty annoying... the only games that work are directly from the repositories... Its incredibly frustrating and annoying when you download demos of games that simply wont install [16:39] games makers don't seem to understand: "must work for user" [16:39] Its just ridiculous, you download several games and none of them will install [16:40] and they're supposed to be the linux versions... [16:40] jonshaw: game makers understand "must work for whomever signs the cheque". :-) [16:40] well... if the demo doesn't work, users aren't so likely to pay for the full version are they... [16:40] jonshaw: have you ati ? [16:40] Peace-: no, nvidia [16:40] jonshaw: driver open or other? [16:41] other [16:41] jonshaw: it semes a video card issue i guess it's the driver [16:41] how do you figure its a video card issue when the installer wont even run [16:41] jonshaw: could you try to use the standard driver? [16:41] jonshaw: because it's 4 year i use linux? [16:41] xD [16:42] I currently have other games installed and working fine like Nexuiz and Amnesia: The Dark Descent [16:42] well that doesn't mean that game has issue with the driver of your invidia [16:42] *has not [16:42] segfault doesn't hint anything towards graphics drivers [16:43] i have found a topic. [16:43] there's no error coming up relating to graphics issues [16:43] with an ati changin driver fixed the situation. [16:43] ok fix by yourself then :) [16:43] I'm not fixing something that isn't broken [16:44] Peace-: what did the changing drivers fix? as in, could you post the topic so we could see the context [16:44] it0s not on english [16:44] changing drivers when my current ones work fine isn't an option [16:45] other games work fine [16:45] Peace-: still [16:45] Nexuiz is quite demanding and I can run the game with everything on high with a very good frame rate [16:46] If I had a graphics driver issue I'm pretty sure I'd know by now [16:46] well kde is well know had some problem with nvidia [16:46] known to have [16:46] jonshaw: unfortunately the driver issue isn't that simple, but I can't remember seeing drivers causing segfaults [16:47] me neither [16:59] If I try to install Heroes Of Newerth as root the installer starts but says the game must be installed as a normal user and you are only given an "ok" option to quit [17:23] jonshaw: Then install it as an normal user [17:24] Quintasan: it fails [17:24] jonshaw: Any error messagE?

[19:37] i don't know if there will be a ppa for kde 4.7 right now [19:38] peace: thanks. i was just hoping for some news ... if there isn't: no problem [19:39] they was\ were [19:39] xD [19:39] sorry [19:40] ovidius: only openSUSE binary packages of KDE 4.6.80 (aka 4.7 Beta1) was released AFAIK... but maybe some deep google search will come up with something...

[19:46] is there a keyboard shortcut to view CPU usage (like ctrl alt del in windows) [19:46] ashwin: maybe give a kde wallet manager a try... [19:47] jimmy51_: ctrl+esc [19:47] BATi: ah, i guess i could sum up those percentages [19:48] jimmy51_: eeeh, there should be a global shortcut for ksysguard...

[22:59] :p [22:59] they could use voice-to-text though [23:02] hmm... you just said a perfect workaround for a lot of people keyboard issue. now is a matter of time because it might be necessary to teach vtt engine to recognize voice and typing. [23:02] not too much probably.. like 2 days [23:03] so in 2 d channel would be back to FloodBotK1 activities. [23:06] hi folks. what do you think about ubuntu using GNOME by default [23:07] does that sound the death bell for kde? [23:07] tactical: probably better to ask at #ubuntu [23:08] tactical: why death of kde? i used gnome not long ago (and using several flavors of ubuntu) and there is no comparison to kubuntu [23:09] isn't it a huge blow for kde that ubuntu chose not to use it? [23:10] tactical: as with gnomte.e... ppl keep using it. it's a matter of tas [23:10] gnome [23:11] err *taste [23:12] tactical: kde and kubuntu keeps being the first choice for people who like nice graphical interface [23:12] lcb: +1 [23:12] *nice and efficient... [23:14] one thing i noticed, appart from kde, gnome is much alike unity or vice-versa. my opinion. [23:14] and i'm talking about gnome3, of course [23:18] * kps_foo thinks unity sucks...gnome 3 is better than unity...but KDE is the best :P [23:20] dniMretsaM: notice this. " tactical: as with gnomte.e... ppl keep using it. it's a matter of tas". See? Keyboard issue. sometimes my cursor jumpes like crazy. in this case, part of last word "taste" jumped to the middle of the sentence, near gnome. === Keshl_ is now known as Keshl
