GixerHi. Can tell me how to get guildwars2 running correctly? I used -dx9single to get the launcher to show but there is no game window after. only sound17:06
holsteinGixer: i would look into graphics requirements17:09
Gixerwell i have the latest driver for my card17:10
holsteinGixer: you can issue the launch command from the terminal and see if there is any helpful output17:10
Gixeri get a bunch of fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8. while the game is supposed to be running. then some other stuff if you dont mind me pasting it17:12

holsteinGixer: is that a linux version? or are you using wine?17:13

Gixerim running wine in ubuntu17:13
Gixerthats the cmd output17:13
holsteinhttp://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9194 is what i would refer to17:13
Gixeri have the gw2 page up but i can't find my situation17:14
holsteinGixer: its not made to run on linux.. it can be challening17:14
holsteini would check that everything is up to date.. and also, maybe try stepping down the version of wine17:14
Gixerok. if it helps, the game curser shows like the game is maximized but there is no window only sound17:15
Gixerand i can't alt-tab17:16
holsteinGixer: i would try an older or newer version of wine... if you feel the graphics card you are using is supporting 3d ok17:16
Gixerhow would i step down wine? i've tried a .tar file once but it was a little confusing17:17
holsteinGixer: i would open a package manager.. something like synaptic.. search "wine" and "roll it back"17:18
Gixerok grabbing that now17:18
Gixeris version 1.4 the latest?17:21
Gixerof wine17:21
Gixerwell nvm. i have the 1.5.9 wine but the one ubuntu is using is 1.417:22
Gixer1.5.9 is not marked for installation17:23
Gixerin synaptic17:23
holsteinGixer: i wouldnt worry about what the latest is.. i would go with what is reported to work on winehq or whatever else you are using as a resource17:28
Gixerok.17:28
Gixerholstein: you there?18:08
holsteinGixer: o//18:09
Gixerok i got it to work but when i go to choose fullscreen it asks me only to span both my screens18:09

MasuHello, I'm having some  troubles with a wireless adapter.18:24
MasuIt is an "Asus N13", and is using the 8192cu drivers, according to terminal.18:24
MasuIt detects wireless networks, but refuses to connect.18:25
MasuI'd be very happy if you could look into my problem. Thanks!18:26
holsteinMasu: i would open a terminal and type "lspci" and hit enter18:26
MasuAlright, will do.18:27
holsteinyou can paste that output here if you need help determining which is your wifi card18:27

MasuOh, I think "lsusb" might be the command I should use? The output shows no sign of the dongle.18:34
MasuI didn't mention that it was USB, sorry.18:34
holsteinMasu: share whatever you think is relevant.. that will give me an idea of what the chipset is..18:35

philballewMasu, holstein is pretty much a Linux genius. I would do whatever he says.18:37
holsteinphilballew: lol... not quite there yet :)18:37
MasuCool.18:37
MasuI'm pretty new.18:38
MasuAs you can tell.18:38
philballewWell its all good.18:38
holsteinMasu: nah... it can be challenging getting wifi working18:38
philballew+118:38
philballewtook me 5 days beck with 6.1018:39
philballewdont sweat it Masu18:39
philballew*back18:39
holsteinMasu: while im looking, there are a couple things i would like to know, if it were my dongle... does it work with an expected operating system and driver? does it connect to something without wpa or any passphrase?18:40
MasuI've tried to turn off security, and it still doesn't work. It does detect that the network is WEP encrypted. I know, pretty horrible, but my stepdad refuses to change to WPA2.18:42

holsteinmaybe http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x#rtl8192cu18:43
holsteini read that it should "just work" in new kernels..18:43
holsteinMasu: i would plug into internet.. look for and apply all upgrades.. try again, and then search those links18:43
MasuIt might be the combination of a Dell from 2004 and a router that is sort of broken.18:43
MasuBut I'll try!18:43
MasuThanks!18:44
holsteinMasu: i would try just as troubleshooting with an open wifi network... no wpa or wep... i have a few routers sitting around here that makes that easy.. connect and ping the gateway18:44

holsteinMasu: you can also try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper with the windows driver18:45
alchhi23:02
alchi think i just corrupted my live usb, by forcing the computer off(in my defense shutdown was not doing anything), theres anything i can do?23:03
alchright now it freezes on "[somenumber] Btrfs loaded23:04
alchlikely freezing on checksum i imagine23:05
holsteinalch: if its just a live USB, you can just make another one real quick23:16
holsteinalch: i wouldnt use btrfs. i dont think its officially supported anywhere yet23:16
