I had absolutely no probems installing it with KDE running, the only "issue" is that it created a new menu entry called "Games" instead of using the one that already exists under applications. The game has been running great and smooth under linux for me. The only thing that you loose from the windows version is the option to have the game "read" to you what people type in using text-to-speech technology. I hear that there is a way to make it work in linux but I never bothered looking into it. I agree, worth every penny, but it's my favorite genre of game.

I'd check www.planetunreal.com, satrting with their "top 50" filesdownloads: http://www.planetunreal.com/files/ut_top50.shtml .

what's APF and BFD? There has been some kind of script out since late July that does the SSH scanning liike that. Changing the SSH port seems to take care of the problem.

Epic has released a new demo for Unreal Tournament 2004! In addition to bug fixes, it has even more content than the original demo. Here's a copy of the announcement, it includes the download link: The new UT2004 demo has all the fixes and updates in the latest full version of UT2004, and also includes two additional maps, ONS-Primeval and CTF-FaceClassic, as well as the Instagib CTF game type. In addition, new demo servers are compatible with full version clients, so if you run a demo server, anyone can join it. Download it now at: http://www.unrealtournament.com/ut2004/downloads.php The demo contains 7 maps: AS-Convoy ONS-Torlan ONS-Primeval DM-Rankin CTF-BridgeOfFate CTF-Face Classic BR-Colossus 7 game modes: Assault Onslaught Deathmatch Capture The Flag Team Deathmatch Bombing Run Instagib CTF

I wouldn't say that it's *much* better, although some people make that claim (some people always hated UT2003, not sure why). All of the content from UT2003 is available in UT2004 so a lot of maps will look familiar even though there are plenty of new ones, and there are already 3 bonus packs that add even more maps. UT2004 introduces Onslaught, a new game mode, that in my opinion is worth the purchase price if UT2004 by itself. This game type introduces vehicles on top of the usual arsenal (well, there are new weapons too). Even though Onslaught is the only "native" game type that has vehicles, there are plenty of custom maps that introduces them to other game types, such as vCTF: vehicle capture the flag. UT2004 also re-introduces the Assault gmae type, which exisited in the original UT but was not in UT2003. I'm definitely glad I got UT2004, I mostly play Onslaught now. There is a re-vamped UT2004 demo available for Win32 and for Linux, so give it a try, that's the best way to decide if it's worth the upgrade for you.

With regard to my original post, please be aware that some mods are more difficult to install under linux than others. Some have linux installers (Red Orchestra, Alien Swarm, ...) Some are available as zip files that you can unpack into your UT2004 directory (often there will be 2 separate downloads, one exe or umod, and one zip). Some are available as exe that are in fact SFX archives so you can still unzip them copy the files manually Some are only available as umods, which is the UT proprietary packaginf format: there is a umod extractor (use google) that you can use to unpack the file. The worse case is when then use a custom windows exe: you can use wine or someone else's windows machine to extract the files and manually copy them in your install. Most mods have a support forum of some kind where you will find answers on installation.

I had upgraded my kernel to 2.6.3-16mdk, and I tried to install version 6111 ofthe NVIDIA driver and it started failing too, so maybe that's what you'r experiencing. Here's how I fixed, hope it works for you, it 2:00am here so I'm too tired to look for the howto but it should probably be added to it: after failing the /var/log/nvidia-installer.log ... log told me to run "make mrproper" in the kernel directory. It turns out it is a bad idea because it gets rid of your .config file. I removed then re-installed the source: urpme kernel-source-2.6.3-16mdk urpmi kernel-source Then I ran the nvidia installer with the --add-this-kernel option: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run --add-this-kernel This built a special version of the installer: "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1-custom.run" Which I then ran: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1-custom.run edit your X86Config as stated in the drivers readme and everything seems now fine.

If you own Unreal Tournament 2004, you may not know that it has a huge modding community that develops a lot of free add-on for the games. Those go from tiny changes (like a new weapons), to total conversions into something that doesn't resemble UT2004 in the least. For example one is a mod to turn the game into a golf game like "Golden Tee", so you may find yourself buying UT2004 (the linux installer is on the same CD as the windows installer) even though you don;t care about First Person Shooters. With the recent release of the Editor's Choice Edition you may find the original edition at a bargain basement price (althoguht the ECE includes several of the mods listed so you don't have to download them). All those mods are free downloads. The entire list of mods is constantly being updated in this thread in the Atari forums: http://www.ina-community.com/forums/showth...30&pagenumber=1 Here are a few screenshots that examplify the variety: Duffer's golf (golf) http://duffers.beyondunreal.com/images/shots/shot511_2.jpg UnWheel (driving) Alien swarm (top down arcade style shooter) Air Buccanneer (hot air ballon combat) Unreal Open (tennis)

should I have received it through email already since I'm a subscriber? I never got it,. Is it due to the delay between the website and email version or is ther another problem (like spam filter tossed it or something). Thanks

so back to your original post, yuo just had it running and forgot, or does this frontend really use 99% of your CPU at times even though you're not actually encoding video?

Looks like a lot of you guys like huge icons! I'm always looking at ways to cram more stuff in as little space as possible because I use an LCD which means my resolution is fixed at 1024x768. I'll get around to posting mine sometimes, nothing fancy, mostly the background picture changes every 20 minutes out of a library of maybe 100 backgrounds, otherwise it's plain all boring KDE.

yes I understant that part, and I didn't modify /etc/rc.local. Ijust missed the part that you don't have to go through runlevel3 on your way to runlevel5, so when I manually added the S90lm_sensors to rc.3 it wasn't getting executed. I'll checkout your page anyway, I might learn something :P EDIT: hey I had seen your site before, never realized it was yours. The answer to my particular problem wasn't in there, but cool site anyway.

no, you don't need nForce drivers with a kernel 2.6 (type uname -r at the command line to see your exact version by the way) Have you tried installing the nvidia display drivers? If you didn't change your kernel since you installed mdk 10 (sounds like you didn't) you should have no problems doing it. Follow this instructions in the nvidia website of in the howto section of this site. It's really simple: - install kernel sources. Not because you need to recompile the kernel but because the nvidia installer may have to recompile the driver (which is a kernel module, an add-on if you want) and it needs to know some things about the kernel from its source. Make sure that you instlal the exact same version of the source as the version of your kernel returned by uname -r (for example 2.6.3-7mdk) - download the latest nvidia installer - run the install script (you need to make sure you are out of the X graphic environement: init 3) - answer the default to every question, the installer will likely tell you it doesn't have a prebuilt copy for your kernel, do you want to build one? asnwer yes - after installation follow the instructions in the readme to modify your X config file all the details are available in the howto so this is just an overview. It takes all of 5 minutes to complete.

ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig eth0 up :P restarting the whole networking service is a little drastic if you have more than one interface.

so have you ran into any problems? you should be able to play most games without doing anything to the router.

I think we're talking about 2 different kinds of nvidia drivers here! There are the graphic card drivers, which is what people here think qabout when they say nvidia drivers There is the chipset driver (nForce, nForce2,...) which to the best of my knowledge don't exist in linux, everything you need is basically built in the kernel. IT's different from windows where after doing a windows isntall you end up installing the chipset drivers (nforce for via, Hyperion 4-in-1 for via, ...)

note that different packages have differnt md5sum, so CD1 and CD2 for the powerpack for example have different md5sums from CD1 and 2 from the discovery edition of whatever it's called. Check the mdk download page on the mandrake website.

I had similar problemswhile installing a laser printer on USB. You don't way what the interface to the printer is, I assume it's parallel port? I think printerdrake is broken, like most of the drakes, at least that was the case with mine. I had to manually edit /etc/cups/printers.conf because it hada type in the URI start by making sure the uri points to wherever you believe the printer is mounted.

I don't believe that is true, you only need samba if you want to share things on your linux machine TO a windows machine (be it files or printers). The other way around you don't need to worry about configuring samba, although it makes your network more complete. hmm. i thought that the Samba clients and servers performed distinctly different functions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> wasn't that my point?

I assume that you have only 1 computer (the Me client or the laptop) connected with the crossover cable at a time? It's not very clear Did you try restarting that computer the clients? At the very least do ipconfig /release followed by ipconfig /renew in a does box. The 169.254.... address you see in tcpdump is from a windows conputer that couldn't find a DHCP serverat boot, or wasn't configured for DHCP. That IP address range is the signature of the DCHP-less automatic IP provisionning that M$ does. The DHCP request I would have expected to be DHCP Discover. I'm guessing the client is asking for an IP adress it used to have, which might be why it's not getting an answer? A more detailed dump would be more useful. Start by rebooting the clients while connected to the DCHP server.

I'm having tons of problems with the Mandrake menus (see this thread: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=18961) so I may have to give the KDE menus a try. It's really too bad that menus are so screwed up in what's supposed to be one of the "best desktop oriented" linux distros. AussieJohn, KAppFinder basically removes the need to manually write down the location of all the exisitng apps in the mdk menu right? If I screw up or don't like it, how to I force the menus to get rebuilt "a la Mandrake"?

That's it! I alwys thought that it still went through 3 on its way to 5, but you're right, that's what happened.
