    Diablo 3 Reaper Of Souls in PlayOnLinux

    I've been playing this a lot, as well as Starcraft 2. Both can be run from the same install, and neither requires any specific libraries to run either. Corefonts is the only thing I have installed. I am also using 64-bit wine so I can use the 64-bit versions of the games. With installing dxvk...

    Victor Vran no sound on Mint 20 64 bits

    I don't have the game to test, but have you attempted to test the Windows version in Wine instead? Some games have really terrible Linux ports, Stronghold 3 comes to mind which does not even have all the updates that the Windows version has. Mount and Blade Warband also has some graphical bugs...

    Dan and George's Republican thread

    Our systems of government are probably a bit different I would assume. I admit that I don't know much about how the government works in the US. We don't have a president in Norway, the head of state is the King. By our constitution, it is the King that ratifies any new law. In reality, the King...

    Dan and George's Republican thread

    I see, and I suppose it is practically impossible for other parties to have a real chance. I obviously don't know how it is there, but I am going to make a guess that it is kind of a collective perception that you really only have two options. Changing this would probably be nearly impossible if...

    Dan and George's Republican thread

    This is obviously some US thing, having only two parties. In our national parliament ('Storting' from the old norse Ting), we currently have 9 different political parties. The number of parties in Norway is a whole lot more than I know. I feel in a sharing mood right now so I will share a bit of...

    Arch Linux Guided Installer

    According to the devs, the goal is actually not for people who want to try Arch. First time installers are still pointed towards the manual method as it is a beneficial learning process. One of the Arch devs mentioned that the installer will help people who do a lot of installs, for instance on...

    Arch Linux Guided Installer

    So Arch Linux has a guided installer now, in addition to the default manual installation method. This installer is not mentioned in the official instructions on the Arch Wiki, at least not yet. There has also been a lot of controversy regarding this on the Arch forums. Most of the long term...

    Mint 20.1 - Finally

    The "quiet" option does not mess up anything. It prevents boot messages from displaying during the boot process. It does not actually alter anything, and the same messages are available in the system log. I think error messages will still be shown, even if you use quiet. As for iommu, according...

    Mint 20.1 - Finally

    Usually such boot errors can be safely ignored. Those few times I've researched boot messages I get, they have always turned up to be warnings about Firmware bugs in the motherboard UEFI. Older kernels either didn't pick up on it or simply ignored it, while newer kernels more frequently are more...

    Half-Life 2: Ep1 & Ep2 Co-op

    I've played this with a cousin, although we've yet to play through all of HL2, and we have not tried the episodes yet. But I do agree, playing this game co-op is an amazing experience.

    My btrfs subvolume setup

    An LVM partition can contain multiple other logical partitions and filesystems. LVM lets you be very flexible in that you could easily reallocate unused space on one partition to create a new partition. Not exactly like Btrfs subvolumes, but it gives you a lot of flexibility. In many cases where...

    My btrfs subvolume setup

    I do so completely agree that I love how you can customize and create solutions to tackle any scenario. Not to mention, I simply love doing this kind of thing. Btrfs subvolumes share partition space (when they are on the same partition of course), which means you only need to worry about space...

    Expired SSL/TLS certificate

    Hey, just a heads up that the certificate for this website expired yesterday (17 Mar 2021), so might be a good idea to get that renewed.

    My btrfs subvolume setup

    I've been using btrfs for a few years now, although I have not been making extensive use of the subvolume snapshot feature yet. Mostly I have had system root on one subvolume, and /home on another subvolume. If you are unfamiliar with what subvolumes are, you can think of them as hard drive...

    Task bar became non functional. Easiest reinstall from scratch of 19.1.

    Now that I honestly don't know. I suppose just check the Mint website for the recommended way to do it. I don't think there should be a problem with upgrading, but you might want to do some cleanup after. Like removing unneeded software, getting rid of old kernel versions still taking up space...

    Task bar became non functional. Easiest reinstall from scratch of 19.1.

    When it comes to Mint, I honestly don't see why you would feel the need to hold back. Mint 20.1 is based on Ubuntu 20.04, which is almost a year old. That means that most software is on a year old versions, with a year of bugfixes and security fixes applied. I suppose the only thing that might...

    What game are you currently playing?

    Hello, welcome to the forum nathan86. I'm currently in between games at the moment, not really committed to any single game. Currently I am playing a bit of GTAV, Space Hulk Ascension, StarCraft 2, Vampire Bloodlines. I have been feeling a need to get back into an old favorite series of mine...

    DosBox Generic Guide

    I am not familiar with Solus Budgie, but if it is a Linux distro then you should have plenty of "hidden" files in your home directory. Have you verified this in a terminal? Open a terminal, first ensure you are in your home directory, then check for all files: cd ~ ls -a In the output you...

    Task bar became non functional. Easiest reinstall from scratch of 19.1.

    Not a bother at all, don't worry! At this point I'm afraid I've run out of ideas, except for trying another browser. But as I said, you don't have to verify the signature. It is extremely unlikely that anyone tampered with, especially since the Linux Mint website only works over https...
