If you have a windows computer (or windows running in virtualbox) then you can play The Longest Journey. It is available on GOG http://www.gog.com/game/the_longest_journey I think I've also seen it on Steam. The sequel, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey works in wine, so I'll definitely do a...

This sounds really odd. Installing a different wine version should not affect how PoL runs since it provides its own wine versions. I suspect the dependencies for those two packages might differ. I don't know if you still want to investigate this matter, but if so you can run the command pacman...

You should be able to select the option to remember and trust your current machine so you do not need to additional email code on each login. Do keep in mind that running natibe Linux Steam, and Steam via PoL are seen as different machines by Steam. That is also true if you have several virtual...

Just to give everyone a fair warning, this really is nothing more than a rant. Now that the warning is out of the way, let the ranting commence. My laptop use a Broadcom device for wireless, specifically BCM 4352 [14e4:43b1] which there is no support for in open source drivers. It was almost a...

A lot of Arch info is portable, but Manjaro have their own repos with differing versions as they aim to be less bleeding edge and more stable than Arch. You can easily hold back packages with pacman, just edit the line IgnorePgk= in /etc/pacman.conf The reason why Arch dropped official support...

Chains of Satinav and Memoria are both very good in my opinion. I really want to do a guide for The Longest Journey, as that game is THE best adventure game ever made in my opinion. The story in that game is brilliant and touching. Unfortunately it got a lot of problems in wine, so I'm just...

Actually, the Arch wiki could help too, if you look at the section for installing from AUR as the AUR is available to Manjaro as well. The thing is that upgrading could have pulled in dependencies, but that should not have broken anything unless you had both some catalyst packages installed...

Arch does not have the proprietary catalyst drivers in the official repositories. Besides, Manjaro use their own custom repositories so I would suggest sticking with Manjaro wiki for this. There is an unofficial Arch repo for catalyst drivers which the wiki page refer to, but it is specifically...

Memoria is a point-and-click adventure game that continues the story of Geron and Nuri from Chains of Satinav. This game runs very well on Linux. Like the previous game, this also have the short temporary freezes sometimes when entering a new area or after exiting dialogue. Anyone who enjoy...

Someone give that Spymaster a vacation, he obviously needs it.

From what I can understand, you have an AMD card, right? If you are using the proprietary drivers, then you need the 32-bit catalyst utils package. I don't know for sure the naming convention in the Manjaro repositories .but if they follow the same as the unofficial AMD repository for Arch...

Since NTFS is a proprietary file system, the Linux tools that let you write to NTFS still can't properly fix the file system in case of a problem since the inner workings of the file system are known only to the NTFS devs at Microsoft. If I need to share an external drive or USB storage with...

All Nordic games are back on GOG for the next three days, and all are at some pretty amazing discounts. This means Gothic 2 and 3 are back while this sale is on, the Spellforce series and a lot of other games. http://www.gog.com/promo/weekend_promo_nordic_special_191214 I still hope they can...

This was an interesting read. I completely agree that being an advanced user does not mean you have to use an advanced distro. For me, one of the big points with Arch is that I simply enjoy having to manage everything on my system. It is kind of a hobby on its own. I am a little obsessive...

pacman -Qk just checks if the files are present. If you want to run a more thorough check, then run sudo pacman -Qkk which also checks permissions, file size and modification time. However, using that option will require you to look through the output, because you will probably have differences...

I just wanted to point out that my reason for doing this was my fear of failing hard drive or other malfunctions that would cause a loss of data. This has never been a problem, and it should only be caused by a problem with the file system of hard drive (or user error) since pacman keep track of...
