[17:06] <Gixer> Hi. 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 sound
[17:09] <holstein> Gixer: i would look into graphics requirements
[17:10] <Gixer> well i have the latest driver for my card
[17:10] <holstein> Gixer: you can issue the launch command from the terminal and see if there is any helpful output
[17:12] <Gixer> i 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 it
[17:12] <holstein> !paste | Gixer

[17:13] <holstein> Gixer: is that a linux version? or are you using wine?
[17:13] <Gixer> fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8. fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log Info log received from GLSL shader #20: fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log     Vertex info fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log     ----------- fixme:d3d_shader:print_glsl_info_log     0(16) : warning C7050: "R8.y" might be used before being initialized fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8. fixme:d3d:resource_
[17:13] <Gixer> im running wine in ubuntu
[17:13] <Gixer> thats the cmd output
[17:13] <holstein> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9194 is what i would refer to
[17:14] <Gixer> i have the gw2 page up but i can't find my situation
[17:14] <holstein> Gixer: its not made to run on linux.. it can be challening
[17:14] <holstein> i would check that everything is up to date.. and also, maybe try stepping down the version of wine
[17:15] <Gixer> ok. if it helps, the game curser shows like the game is maximized but there is no window only sound
[17:16] <Gixer> and i can't alt-tab
[17:16] <holstein> Gixer: i would try an older or newer version of wine... if you feel the graphics card you are using is supporting 3d ok
[17:17] <Gixer> how would i step down wine? i've tried a .tar file once but it was a little confusing
[17:18] <holstein> Gixer: i would open a package manager.. something like synaptic.. search "wine" and "roll it back"
[17:18] <Gixer> ok grabbing that now
[17:21] <Gixer> is version 1.4 the latest?
[17:21] <Gixer> of wine
[17:22] <Gixer> well nvm. i have the 1.5.9 wine but the one ubuntu is using is 1.4
[17:23] <Gixer> 1.5.9 is not marked for installation
[17:23] <Gixer> in synaptic
[17:28] <holstein> Gixer: 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 resource
[17:28] <Gixer> ok.
[18:08] <Gixer> holstein: you there?
[18:09] <holstein> Gixer: o//
[18:09] <Gixer> ok i got it to work but when i go to choose fullscreen it asks me only to span both my screens
[18:09] <Gixer> no 1920x1080 option
[18:10] <Gixer> a simple restart fixed it. sorry :)
[18:11] <Gixer> now i can't move the mouse out of the game
[18:11] <Gixer> actually. scratch that too
[18:11] <Gixer> thanks for your help holstein
[18:12] <holstein> Gixer: sure!.. enjoy!!
[18:24] <Masu> Hello, I'm having some  troubles with a wireless adapter.
[18:24] <Masu> It is an "Asus N13", and is using the 8192cu drivers, according to terminal.
[18:25] <Masu> It detects wireless networks, but refuses to connect.
[18:26] <Masu> I'd be very happy if you could look into my problem. Thanks!
[18:26] <holstein> Masu: i would open a terminal and type "lspci" and hit enter
[18:27] <Masu> Alright, will do.
[18:27] <holstein> you can paste that output here if you need help determining which is your wifi card
[18:27] <holstein> !paste | Masu

[18:34] <Masu> Oh, I think "lsusb" might be the command I should use? The output shows no sign of the dongle.
[18:34] <Masu> I didn't mention that it was USB, sorry.
[18:35] <holstein> Masu: share whatever you think is relevant.. that will give me an idea of what the chipset is..
[18:37] <Masu> holstein: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0b05:17ab ASUSTek Computer Inc.
[18:37] <philballew> Masu, holstein is pretty much a Linux genius. I would do whatever he says.
[18:37] <holstein> philballew: lol... not quite there yet :)
[18:37] <Masu> Cool.
[18:38] <Masu> I'm pretty new.
[18:38] <Masu> As you can tell.
[18:38] <philballew> Well its all good.
[18:38] <holstein> Masu: nah... it can be challenging getting wifi working
[18:38] <philballew> +1
[18:39] <philballew> took me 5 days beck with 6.10
[18:39] <philballew> dont sweat it Masu
[18:39] <philballew> *back
[18:40] <holstein> Masu: 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?
[18:42] <Masu> I'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.

[18:43] <holstein> maybe http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x#rtl8192cu
[18:43] <holstein> i read that it should "just work" in new kernels..
[18:43] <holstein> Masu: i would plug into internet.. look for and apply all upgrades.. try again, and then search those links
[18:43] <Masu> It might be the combination of a Dell from 2004 and a router that is sort of broken.
[18:43] <Masu> But I'll try!
[18:44] <Masu> Thanks!
[18:44] <holstein> Masu: 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 gateway

[23:02] <alch> hi
[23:03] <alch> i 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?
[23:04] <alch> right now it freezes on "[somenumber] Btrfs loaded
[23:05] <alch> likely freezing on checksum i imagine
[23:16] <holstein> alch: if its just a live USB, you can just make another one real quick
[23:16] <holstein> alch: i wouldnt use btrfs. i dont think its officially supported anywhere yet
