  TomTom 'MyDriveConnect' on V-Box and WINE
Posted by: MS - 08-12-2019, 05:40 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I have never thusfar been using WINE, do not know how it looks like, how does it set up. When it comes though to my GPS device, it relies on 'MyDriveConnect' software from TomTom. I would say that it is pretty unfortunate, but as far as I am concerned, no GPS producer ever supports Linux, unless Linux reaches some more significant market share of the home PC users. For now, I am employing an access to an old 32-bit Windows 7 PC for the sake of GPS update, albeit first, it would be better if I got self sufficient with the Linux and what it does offer, second thing, I am afraid this Windows 7 PC may get 'decomissioned' eventually. Like, if I wanted to install Linux on it, I would basically shoot my foot, when it comes to Windows only software, such as the mentioned 'MyDriveConnect'.

It came to my knowledge I have two ways to solve the issue. First is to set up a Virtual Box with GNOME tools and some Windows image, which is perhaps a more complicated procedure, but is confirmed to work. Second, is to use WINE, which - on the other hand - is unconfirmed to solve the problem with 'MyDriveConnect' on Linux.

Does anyone have any experience in getting WINE to run quirky apps?

  Gtk-WARNING **:
Posted by: DirkBrown - 08-11-2019, 06:26 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

Hi Chaps.
I have the following error when running chirpw from the Terminal:

Gtk-WARNING **: 18:32:01.074: Locale not supported by C library.
  Using the fallback 'C' locale.

It doesn't seem to cause any trouble with the program, and as far as can tell my language settings are correctly set to English UK.
I did a search of the forum, but couldn't see the issue posted before.
I apologize if I've missed it.

Cheers.
Dirk.

  Fastest known Linux distributions
Posted by: MS - 08-08-2019, 06:17 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (1)

Regarding the thread linked HERE, I question mild dispute of competition as being "impolite" to the Linux Lite, on a Linux Lite forum, if kept tidy. Environmental awareness is crucial. Linux Lite is an exemplary of a certain category of Linux distributions. There are other distributions with similar principles as well. What distributions do you know of that aim for elegance, simplicity and user friendliness, maximizing the performance?

  Простая установка World Of Tanks (WOT) для Linux
Posted by: Webenot - 08-08-2019, 12:14 PM - Forum: Russian [Russian] - No Replies

Всем привет, недавно я решил поиграть в танки на linux и нашел массу замечательных статей о том как вручную устанавливать и настраивать Wine, и нет 100% гарантии что в процессе все пойдет как надо. Так что расскажу вам о простой установке.

1) Зайдите на сайт  PortWine пролистайте по ниже и нажмите скачать.

2) Когда файл загрузится - перейдите в папку, нажмите Правую Клавишу Мыши (ПКМ) по установщику и зайдите в свойства.
Во вкладке "права" поставьте галочку на пункте "Разрешить запуск этого файла":
[Image: EYr1v4Hl.png]
Поставили галочку и жмем "закрыть"

3) Нажимаем ПКМ по файлу и "Выполнить"

4) Выбираем язык и жмем "ОК":
[Image: Si60kxgl.png]

5) Соглашаемся:
[Image: eYltW4sl.png]

6) В этом пункте мы можем выбрать путь установки игры, я ничего не менял и установил по умолчанию:
[Image: boXEEWll.png]{

7) Дожидаемся конца установки и запускаем игру:
[Image: Dhc48wEl.png]
Здесь мы имеем 2 режима игры:
Обычный - с запуском OpenGL.
DXVK  - с драйверами D3D11 ( вопросы посвященные DXVK ). Как говорят разработчики PortWine - в режиме DXVK работает быстрее, но у меня с этим режимом не запустилось - еще стоит разобраться.

8) Дожидаемся конца загрузки и установки и заходим в игру.
Сразу рекомендую отключить в настройках графики динамический рендер!

Куда устанавливать моды?
Моды для игры устанавливать в папку ~/PortWINE/PortWoT/drive_c/Games/World_of_Tanks/mods и res_mods
(если не меняли путь установки).
Моды используются те же, что и для винды.

Уже есть установленные танки?
Если у Вас есть уже закачанные танки на другом диске, то просто скопируйте содержимое папки с Вашего диска://Games/WorldOfTanks/ в папку ~/PortWINE/PortWoT/drive_c/Games/World_of_Tanks/
Т.к. у меня ноутбук слабый я сжал все свои текстуры и урезал графику по максимуму с помощью WotTweaker (имеется нативный твикер в комплекте)

Тупит игра после установки модов?
Если после установки модов у Вас начинает тупить компьютер и просидать FPS, то скорее всего это процессы cef_browser_sub (После входа в ангар эти процессы заново стартуют и им необходимо заблокировать доступ к рабочей дирректории/ просто удалить файл процесса недостаточно, т.к. он  возобновляется)

  [Image: S7XxGBPl.png]


  [Image: wHOv36Ql.png]


ВНИМАНИЕ: если вы закрываете доступ к папке CEF, то не всегда обновление танков будет проходить успешно, т.к. игра не имеет доступа к папке. Что бы обновить игру, просто поменяйте папку CEF и CEFX местами, а после обновления все можно вернуть как было!

Вопрос решается очень просто:

Заходим в дирректорию с игрой в папку res- ~/PortWINE/PortWoT/drive_c/Games/World_of_Tanks/res/

  [Image: 0uMpeQ4l.png]

Там мы видим папку cef которая в которой лежат все файлы этого процесса. Я эту папку просто переименовал в cefx(на всякий случай, вдруг сломаю что нибудь / обошлось, но Вы сделайте копию на всякий случай)


После того как переименовали папку - создаем новую с названием cef. Нажимаем ПКМ по папке и заходим в свойства. Переходим во вкладку "права" и выставляем везде"только чтение".

  [Image: fZkisa7l.png]


После этого запускаем игру как обычно. Больше Вас эти процессы не побеспокоят!
ВНИМАНИЕ: Эти процессы могут отвечать за некоторые функции игры! Такие как "полевая почта", и другие разделы где отображается веб-содержимое. Так что делаем на свой страх и риск. Делайте копию папки!!!

  How do I make sure synaptic is up to date?
Posted by: pingball57 - 08-07-2019, 10:13 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

My usual poor search terms aren't helping me here. I'm on distro 3.4

I'm using the LMMS DAW & been informed on their forum that the 1.1.3 version I'm running is 4 yrs old & I should remove it & upgrade to the latest & more stable version 1.2.  Looking in synaptic manager 1.1.3 is still showing.
I also want to install WINE whose web page shows the latest version is 4.0.1 but synaptic shows 1:1.8.0 - Oubuntu 1 - ubi . Is this the latest version?

What do I need to do to ensure synaptic is up to date &/or install the above latest version programs ? It's been a while since I installed LL so I'm also rusty on command line stuff.

  Love Linux Lite - suggest additional very small old laptop pls?
Posted by: Filia Dei - 08-07-2019, 09:43 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

Hello,
Linux Lite is wonderful!  Makes my Lenovo Thinkpad R61 run fast; is well behaved; doesn't need me to fine tune anything.Formerly used Mint and various other Ubuntu versions. Happy, but there were always compromises.

Main purpose of the R61 is to be my  printing station - Gimp to TurboPrint. It was so easy to set up. It just WORKED! (I design on Mac mostly - but love Linux for various things. For a number of years used Linux solely for my design.)

Biggest surprise: No longer having ANY issues with my printer. Nothing glitches. Printer doesn't hesitate to grab small sheets now (It hated 4x6 with a  passion for years!). No spitting out partially printed large pages of code occasionally either (1 out of 10 11x14 prints would end up ruined). (I now see messages from Turboprint that I NEVER saw in any other distro)

Good heavens - this is remarkable! THANK YOU to all who created this!

Other uses for this laptop: writing, email, checking my shop, Inkscape, and converting vectors to JPEGs in Gimp.

QUESTION: I need a backup laptop (other one died recently) What models of laptop might fit this?

- Backup print station to the R61.
- Type my health journal* daily (not cloud - saved on disk) .
- Very small and light - maybe like a netbook size? - so I can throw it in my tote bag and go ... and so I can journal late at night without hauling out the heavier laptops.
- Can be old -  the R61 is underpowered to most folks but perfectly capable for my needs.
- Lower the budget the better too
- If the screen was nice that would be a bonus - but I won't hold my breath.
- Long battery life (I'm ok with needing to buy a battery)

*Light and small may help me avoid procrastinating journaling because it's "too heavy and I'm too tired". :-)  I have a number of rare issues - and I'm supposed to journal - I want to journal - but often times I don't.

Thank you in advance.

  [solved] ffmpeg on multiple .aac files in directory using find
Posted by: Sprintrdriver - 08-06-2019, 06:24 PM - Forum: Scripting and Bash - Replies (2)

Hi.

I have a folder with multiple .aac audio files. I plan to use them in a car stereo that is very picky on accepting files.

So I found out using ffmpeg to clean out any unused metadata and possible other non-auditible information using this command:
ffmpeg -i 'input.aac' -vn -c:a copy 'output.aac'

I want to be able to do this for several files at once. According to [url=http://"https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/80851/how-do-i-run-a-command-on-multiple-files"]this thread in unix.stackexchange forum[/url], it should be easilly done by using the find command.

However - I have tried several variation of the command (using the example from unix.stackexchange forum), but without any success (ffmpeg claim error about file existing). This is the commands I have tried so far:

Code:
find . -name "*.aac" -exec ffmpeg -i {}  -vn -c:a copy 2_{}
find . -name "*.aac" -exec ffmpeg -i {}  -vn -c:a copy 2_{} \;
find . -name "*.aac" -exec ffmpeg -i {}  -vn -c:a copy NEW{} \;
find . -name "*.aac" -exec ffmpeg -i {}  -vn -c:a copy NEW{}\;
find . -name "*.aac" -exec ffmpeg -i {}  -vn -c:a copy NEW{} \;
find . -name "*.aac" -exec ffmpeg -i '{}'  -vn -c:a copy 'NEW{}'\;

I usually got an error message like this (for every file):
NEW./input-file-name.aac: No such file or directory

I cannot 'see' the command that ffmpeg actually receive, so I cannot tell if there is an obviously error.
