havokHey, I have installed Wine and PlayOnlinux through the Software Center, and I have a WoW installation on my Windows partition. What's my next step?10:52
geirhaWell, in a terminal, the following should "work"    cd /path/to/where/wow/is/installed; wine wow10:55
geirhaThough you might need to configure wow differently for running via wine10:56
geirhaSo it might be a good idea to make a copy of the wow dir, make changes, then run from there.10:57
geirhaFor one, you may need to switch from using directx to using opengl, since directx support in wine is incomplete10:57
havokOK, so step one is to make a copy of WoW over on my Linux partition?10:59
geirhaI'd do that, at least if you intend to go back to windows and run it from there at some point11:02
havokI would like to keep it running, yes. I'm not sure I have the space for it- the WUBI installer only allowed e to allocate 30GB for Ubuntu.11:03
havokAnd WoW is 25 GB :/11:04
geirhaThen put the copy on one of your windows partitions11:04
havokOh11:04
havok!11:04
geirhaYou could probably get around it by symlinking it up, but I haven't tried that11:04
geirhai.e. symlink all files and directories in the wow tree, except the config file(s)11:05
havokOK, it's copying over now, though it may take a while...11:06
geirhaWhen you get to the point where you can try running it (and it fails, or doesn't work optimally), see http://www.wowwiki.com/Wine_troubleshooting11:08
havokWell, I saw that, and a couple more online guides to installing, but that's not really the problem- The problem is that I have NO experience with this and on't know where to start.11:11
theprogrammer does anyone have idea where is the keybinding config file for a user in ubuntu11:19
geirhahavok: I'm not really that much help either. It's a long time since I played wow now. You might have more luck in #winehq11:37
geirhatheprogrammer: you assume it's a file11:38
geirhaAlso, keybinding is a bit vague, there are somewhat different types of key bindings.11:38
geirhai.e. there's one that says hitting the "Shift" and "S" keys on the keyboard, should produce an uppercase "S"11:39
geirhaThen there's the type that says ctrl+alt+t should start a terminal11:40
havokgeirha: Within this server(ubuntu) So I can just /join winehq   ?11:43
geirha/join #winehq  in your irc client, yes11:43
havokOK, thanks!11:47
theprogrammergeirha: its user specific so i assumed it to be a file. is it something else?11:49
geirhatheprogrammer: which?11:50
geirhagnome's bindings are likely stored in gconf or dconf11:51
theprogrammermy problem is that keyboard shortcuts are not working for the current user11:53
theprogrammergeirha: thanks, found it in dconf editor, the problem was media keys were not marked active11:59

bobkaI'm installing server 12.04 LTS. I have the non-free driver I need (rt73.bin) on a usb stick as installation requests. But is refused. Many ideas later, I ask should I copy the driver from Bus 001 Device 009 ID 0930:6533 to /lib/firmware, and go back to detect network? If so, how? : )18:25
bobkaThat is where do I find or how do I mount the usb device?18:28
Unit193rt73 should be installed by default, and lsusb to find devices, if you were asking about htat.18:28
bobkart73.bin is "non-free" and is not in /lib/firmware on LTS18:29
bobkaI have the lsusb Bus 001 Device 009 ID 0930:6533 but how do i mount that?18:31
bobkaI'm installing server 12.04 LTS. I have the non-free driver I need (rt73.bin) on a usb stick as installation requests. But installation doesn't proceed: mount: mounting /dev/sda on /media failed. Invalid argument. And later; { phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware. }  Many t&e later, I ask should I copy the driver from usb stick to /lib/firmware, and go back to "detect network hardware"? If yes19:23
bobkaHi, how to mount usb thumbdrive to /media?19:43
bobkahi, having trouble mounting a pendrive during installation. lsusb finds it, but I can't find it mount it or to check the file.20:42
