It's probably the Ubuntu live environment. If you mean you click next and the page is blank its probably because the graphics for VMware are completely broken under the live environment for some reason, open files or about and watch the interface fall apart. Just keep retrying until it works and make sure to update the installer when prompted. If it hangs on setting up environment, just wait it out. The install process took about 30 minutes on a Ryzen 3600 with 4vCPU and 8G Memory. Once installed it works fine.

I guess the real question should be then do you want to put effort into something that may be potentially surrounded by legal issues. Assuming I'm looking at the same game in which case I'm guessing your guide is coming from RZ and the source is EP1 (2009?) meanwhile the compiled release is EP4 (2015).

Out of curiosity, what game?
-
Probably as I would consider anything from N64 (1996) and older to be retro, meanwhile I have seen people refer to the ps3 and wii (2006) as retro.

Failing to downgrade Kernel.
Nayr438 replied to Gat Pelsinger's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
Old Ubuntu actually wasn't that bad. I'm not familiar enough with Debian to know. They are part of the "linux" package, if "/usr/lib/modules/4.20.10-arch1-1-ARCH/" doesn't exist then it didn't install correctly. Try reinstalling it, or manually extracting it and re-running "mkinitcpio -p linux". -
Failing to downgrade Kernel.
Nayr438 replied to Gat Pelsinger's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
The kernel itself is likely to be problematic on Arch current if it works at all. If anything you might be able to pull the current PKGBUILD and reversion it, but I would still expect problems. In terms of running an old version of Arch, the problem is Arch itself isn't versioned, there is no set release. If you wanted to run an old version of Arch you would need to grab an old archiso and manually pull in packages based on versioning. As far as other distros, I know ubuntu keeps a archive of old releases and archives packages similar to Arch. If I recall you can even replace the mirrorlist urls with the the archive mirrors to use apt as you would normally, they would just be out of date packages based around that release. https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ https://askubuntu.com/questions/91815/how-to-install-software-or-upgrade-from-an-old-unsupported-release/91821#91821 -
Failing to downgrade Kernel.
Nayr438 replied to Gat Pelsinger's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
Then something went wrong installing the package. Probably not. Various packages are built around the current kernel api/abi and filesystems are really not backwards compatible with older kernels. There is also a chance how the initial ramdisk is made has changed since it ships its own mkinitcpio preset, meanwhile newer kernels don't. This really isn't a option unless you want to manually grab every package version matched from the archive, a base install is around 200 packages.

The beauty of the Linux ecosystem
Nayr438 replied to CosmicEmotion's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
Or they could be a victim of versioning. Doesn't matter if the open source stack supports it if was added say a month ago but your distro packages are 6+ months old. When you have static releases and long term support cycles you don't get the latest up to date software and drivers. For most distros you're software is out of date the day the distro is released. A partial solution is Flatpak, but that doesnt really help with drivers or system software. -
The beauty of the Linux ecosystem
Nayr438 replied to CosmicEmotion's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
Actually they can, however not all boards allow it and in some instances it can even prevent other hardware from functioning correctly. In the event that Microsoft keys are revoked in the process it can also brick some boards. For Secure Boot to be effective, the Bios needs to be password protected and the boot options need to be restricted. Security is already questionable on most systems anyways since it's the same key re-used for each install whether it be for Microsoft Windows or the widely accepted Microsoft Signed Bootloader Shim used by mainstream linux distros. In a proper implementation it would be generated per system and installed, however it leaves a lot of room for error throughout the entire lifecycle of the system. -
New to Linux, why does it do this
Nayr438 replied to Zeke_'s topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
If Kisai is so wrong, let me know how Valorant, Sniper Elite 2, Civilization V (Native), or a multi disc game works. No third part patches from a clean Install with no knowledge of WINE or DXVK/VKD3D. I made sure to include most of the examples from Kisai post (AntiCheat, DRM, Native). Outside of most single player games on Steam, everything Kisai said is pretty accurate. Maybe these things don't affect you, if so then good for you, but Linux is not a overall better experience for gaming. -
New to Linux, why does it do this
Nayr438 replied to Zeke_'s topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
You pretty much need a secondary GPU to passthrough to it and a lot of AntiCheats have started actively checking to see if it's in a VM and consider it a bannable offense. It's mixed, if you play single player games from steam then your probably fine, venture outside of that and it's a mixed bag. For Proton/Wine Compatibility can always check https://areweanticheatyet.com/ and https://www.protondb.com/ but just because it works today doesn't mean it will tomorrow. For instance I got locked temporarily out of Anno1800 because the ubisoft launcher updated and broke compat for a couple months, had a similiar issue in the past with GTA V and the Rockstar Launcher. Another recent example. Roblox worked on wine, then broke compat with a new anticheat, added wine support, then blocked wine after they seen a rise in people moving to linux to cheat, because of the limitations of how AntiCheat works on Linux. -
linux autofs vs systemd automount
Nayr438 replied to YamiYukiSenpai's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
As far as I know there is no way to guarantee a mount with autofs, meanwhile systemd mount units can be used as a dependency for other systemd units / services. Outside of that I don't think there are any other major differences apart from how they are configured. fstab on its own is nothing more than a common file to provide a quick way to manage mounts, in the case of systemd it's managed by systemd-fstab-generator which generates mount / automount units. So for systemd automount the additional fstab option would be x-systemd.automount. using autofs does however remove the ability to manage automounts via fstab. -
Be aware this is unmaintained, it hasn't seen a update in 3 years. Also the way it handles user accounts is kind of stupid, which is a randomly generated single long key that can't be recovered. Have yet to find a usable alternative to it however.

That kind of defeats the point/purpose of jellyfin/plex. It's a media library not a disk player. Even if Jellyfin/Plex could read from a disk the two problems your going to run into are Java Support for handling disc menus. DRM / Copy Protection on both DVD and BD. You could integrate with something like MakeMKV like Handbrake and VLC do, but it still often requires manual intervention.
-
Not sure what would cause that as it seems to work fine in Vivaldi here. Maybe try refreshing the cache "CTRL+F5" or checking Network and Console under the Developer Tools (F12) to see what it's hanging on.
-
I do occasionally with Firefox, id say it's just as fast and responsive as the Desktop App, which is just an Electron App which is essentially just Chromium Embedded.
-
To my understanding some distros may handle this for you. Arch and Fedora on my laptop don't, I have not tested other distros or devices.

How is Quake Champions installed, if it's through steam then how is steam installed. If it's using Proton have all the wine deps been installed and are you using Steam(Ubuntu) Runtime or Steam Native (Arch Runtime) For Steam Native and all of the WINE Deps. Make sure NVIDIA is properly installed and configured If using flatpak ensure the nvidia runtime is installed

Server based AntiCheats have their own tradeoffs and don't cover as much as something more intrusive on the host. It's a big threat but currently It's out of reach for most people. But your not wrong, AntiCheat will never be a permanent solution and we are reaching a point where it may not even be a temporary one. Which brings me to this. I personally don't think we are that far off from moving everything to "cloud" based gaming. It's a win for companies as you are already giving up ownership, they have more reason charge you a subscription, you won't get the files, and they wont have to deal with not trusting the host. And yes I know visual and input exploits will still exist such as AimBots and Macros, but that's a battle you can't win.

This is what I keep saying and why AntiCheat has no real future on Linux. The idea that you can rebuild or replace any package on linux distributions, not to mention the amount of distributions, breaks how AntiCheat works. There is just no way to verify if anything has been tampered with in a malicious way. The current way AntiCheat has been ported over involves dropping a lot of these checks. An example of why this is a problem is Roblox, they ported their AntiCheat to Wine/Linux and seen a increase in people moving to linux to use cheats, this led to the current intentional blocking of Wine/Linux. The only potential future AntiCheat has on Linux is on a distribution where the above can't occur, which means a distro would have to be singled out, slow moving, immutable, and be able to verify nothing has been altered which we already have the tools to do. If any distro were to achieve this it would probably be SteamOS on the steam deck.

CyanogenMod died in 2016... It's long been replaced by LineageOS See Above. LineageOS dropped support for the Tab 2, probably due to the device specs as mentioned previously. The roms on XDA are community maintained and based on older versions of Android, ver. 8 (Oreo) is about as new as your going to get and the Roms available have various issues listed. The same security concerns apply here. You are free to do what you want, but I would consider the security risks heavily before handing it off to someone to potentially manage their bank accounts or any other personal data. If it was the Tab S2 as mentioned previously it would be a whole different story.
-
That thing is pretty much e-waste. It's 1G of ram won't satisfy the requirements of any newer builds of Android, and If you do find a newer third party build it will likely be a unpleasant experience. Running such an old version of Android is also a security risk, I wouldn't have it connected to the local network or access any banking or personal information with it.

It's complicated. The Affected package entered Arch repositories in 5.6.0 on February 24 and wasn't patched until Mar 28 in 5.6.1-2. The malware targets libsystemd's notification daemon, so anything that depends on it or even potentially just xz/liblzma itself could be compromised. The primary affected target however was OpenSSH, but relied on a patch to integrate with libsystemd's notification daemon, something Arch itself doesn't ship but most other distros do. The primary affected distros to my knowledge are Arch, Gentoo, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, along with various in-development/unstable builds of distros. That isn't to say it couldn't have been shipped in containers or sneaked it's way in through third party repositories.
-
Only 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 were affected to my knowledge so you should be safe.
