wine

trying to get steam on linux. having some trouble, think you could make some easy steps to install wine on mandrake 10.1? I keep getting dependency hell.

 

Got wine, steam installed. woohoo. Now, how do I run steam?

Also, I downloaded ATI drivers. How do I install them, "file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of fglrx_6_8_0-8.12.10-1 conflicts with file from package libxorg-x11-6.7.0-2mdk "

Can I get past that?

 

One of the reasons I like Mandrake a lot better than Red Hat is no more dependancy hell. Do this:

Code:

su - root
#enter root password
urpmi wine

Alternately, you could go the GUI route and go KMenu-->System-->Packaging-->Install Software...

-AT

 

Take my word for it, you really don't wanna even try and run Steam in WINE. You'll need Cedega for that, since they have licensed proprietary technology which allows them to run stuff like Steam a *lot* better than the public WINE release. Cedega for games, Xoffice for MS Office, and WINE for everything else.

P.S. - Non-"Source" HL/CS will run fine in WINE, but it still runs better in Cedega. As far as I know, CS:Source and HL:Source won't run in WINE at all.

-AT

P.P.S. - Native games will always run better!

 

I won't be touching HL2. Mostly CS, DoD, and occasional cs1.3

 

[root@nick nick]# urpmi wine
Everything already installed

 

crap can't get cedega, no credit card

 

So what about that?

 

I don't have any ATi cards, so I'll have to look into it.

 

[root@nick root]# rpm -Uhi --force /home/nick/1.rpm

I changed driver rpm name to 1.rpm so it would just be easier to type. I guess it worked?

 

Oops >.<

XFDrake
Caught signal 11. Server aborting

Try changing some parameters.


Won't boot normally, can't start x server

Easy fix?

 

Well Fetus, unfortunately it seems you've installed the wrong driver. Since you're running X.Org and not XFree86 as your X interface, you've stuffed a round peg into a square hole by forcing the install of the XFree86-4.3 RPM. You'll need to uninstall the driver, then install the X.Org version of the driver.

You can save a lot of typing by just typing the first few letters of the filename then hitting the 'TAB' key. Your shell is a lot smarter than the Windows one, and it'll intuitively complete the filename for you. My tab key was quite neglected until I started using Linux, and now it's worn-in.

 

Thanks, round peg in square hole love that one!

How will I go about uninstalling under linux?

 

The easiest way for you will be by using the 'drakrpm-remove', but you can also use the more generic RPM Erase method 'rpm -e'.

 

removed, installed the other one, works good now will install wolfenstein: ET

 

Good job Fetus, you're learning Linux a lot faster than I did!

 

that's only because your helping me

I'm not getting any sound out of the mplayerplugin through firefox though

Looks like you have the wrong GL module running with X... could you please post the contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? That'll help a lot. Thanks...
