Your best bet is either wine or cedega.

your in ubuntu, just do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx :)

Or, alternatively, the ubuntu wiki is perfect for that stuff.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia


Works similar on all debian based linux distros too.

edit: please pm me your msn details too, your not on irc :(

No idea to start thinking about vent if you have linux.
Really.

Wine is too bugged too. Makes me insane each time I use it.

irZ 28 Oct 2006, 00:12
Yeah but try using ts 24/7 and you'll be pissed too.

Its some bugg in wine, so everytime I am supposed to talk, I need to "mark" vent. Which means it wont work ingame.
+ if I idle too long, I need to reconnect.
And that idle time is like..3 min ;x

Voice activation solves the first problem, the second never happened to me. :o
Parent
▼
irZ 28 Oct 2006, 22:02
Yeah but for some reason I cant set the voice activation properly.
Either it sends ALL, or nothing. No matter what I try and change for the voice activation.
Some friends try it in win, I set excatly the same, and it sends nothing.

Or it sends everything, as I said. Which means breathing 'n stuff. =/

Necuz 28 Oct 2006, 22:16
I don't think anyone would mind listening to your breathing, j/k. :p

It's a shame that I've scrapped the idea of Linux as a desktop OS and formatted the drive to make room for more important things *cough*, or else I could've checked my settings.

Need more linux whine about ventrilo, works fine with windows here >8]

even if you will get ventrilo running you are still left with one problem if your soundcard (most soundcards are crappy) does not do hardware mixing because enemy territory uses oss (open sound system) and that locks the access to soundcard for other applications; there is alsa (advanced linux sound system) plugin called "aoss" but it won't work with enemy territory; another dirty solution is to cd /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/ and artsdsp -m et.x86 but this way you will get freaking soundlag;
in conclusion blame your crappy soundcard and open sound system

im new to linux su :P

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package rar is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package rar has no installation candidate

you need unrar
but first of all you need to enable universe and multiverse repositories
