There are basically some thing to be known about wine before using it...

* Wine is actually expanded as windows emulator.
* to run more recent programs you shoul have the recent wine installed in your system. Go to wine head quarters to download the latest wine.
* Wine is an emulator! That means it runs a basic windows platform in the linux platform to run windows based applications..So for running a windows program it is run in wine which emulates a windows base for the program and converts the running process into linux ..So it requires ram for running linux base, Emulator and the application. So it need more ram.
* Some of the applications does not work with wine because they deal with registry..As u know linux os does not require a registry as it is a free source operating system..and the applications we use also come in that catagory..
* From my experience I tell that cracked games or patched games and applications work with wine..The reason I have told above

There are mainly 2 ways to get counter strike working with your pc....

step 1 is the easiest one.....If u have windows also installed in another partition..

You can do it as follows...
1. mount the drive in which cs is installed...
2.Go to the installed folder and run cstrike.exe with wine.

Be careful while doing this...
Points to keep in mind...
1.You should check wdr you have the latest version of wine...
2. You should have enough memory(RAM) 1 GB will do for counter strike.
3. In latest distros like Ubuntu ultimate 2.1 you just need to click the cstrike.exe ... it will automatically be run using wine...
4. If you are using the cracked version the using the cd-key.reg file won't help so try typing the the cd-key itself instead..
Counter strike 1.6 cd key:-5RP2E-EPH3K-BR3LG-KMGTE-FN8PY

This is because linux there it is not compulsory to add a program to registry..and both registries are different...


2.This is the best and the most easy step

do each script in your terminal window seperatly...




$mkdir hlds
$cd hlds
$wget http://www.cstrike-planet.com/dls/hldsupdatetool.bin
$chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
$./hldsupdatetool.bin
$ln -s /bin/gunzip /bin/uncompress
$wget http://www.cstrike-planet.com/dls/steam
$chmod +x steam
$./steam -command update -game cstrike -dir .

Hi...
Here i am going to discuss the best way to install ubnutu in your PC without affecting your windows partition......

Let's Discuss about ubuntu ultimate edition 2.1

1. Change your boot options to 'boot from cd/dvd as primary.
2. Insert the ubuntu ultimate 2.1 Disk to drive and reboot...
3. Choose install and you will get the gnome screen for installation.
4. Click on install.
5 .Now der are 7 steps for ubuntu installation in ubuntu ultimate 2.1 edition installation...
7 .Now complete those steps to complete installation....


FOR XP and VISTA users:

To get the maximum efficiency of ubuntu ultimate edition you have to install ubuntu in a seperate drive....If you choose install inside windows, there will be much problems..mainly disk space issues.....


MANY FEAR THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THEIR WINDOWS OS IF YOU INSTALL UBUNTU IN A SEPARATE PARTITION

First calculate the disk space that you need to allot for ubuntu installation..A minimum of 20 GB will do.........If you don't have a drive of say 20GB space then make it in windows using some softwares like magic partition..U can do the same using ubuntu setup manager but as You have already installed windows that will be the best option...

Now in the ubuntu installation in the partition editor give this drive for installation...
change filesystem to ext3 and mark format...
DO NOT FORGET TO SELECT THE ROOT'/' IN THE INSTALLATION DRIVE....
Now proceed and you will have ubuntu ultimate 2.1 installed in your system...
When you restart you will get the grub boot loader will will help you to switch os.

Use Windows special keys in Linux

Posted by linuxuser On 5:24 AM 0 comments

Why are all the new keyboards sold with Win95 keys on them? How about making them do real keyboard
functions while in X Window? Here is how.
First you need to find out which key mapping you are using. Usually it will be US, it might also be en_US, ca
or else. Locate the file, usually in /usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb and edit it with your favorite editor. For me the file is
called /usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/ca.
The file lists all the key codes and what they do. The key codes for the Win95 special keys are LWIN, RWIN
and MENU. All you need to do is add them to the list, with the functions for them. I decided to map the left
WIN key to "@" and the right WIN key and MENU keys to "{" and "}". Here are the lines I added:
key { [ braceleft ] };
key { [ at ] };
key
{ [ braceright ] };
By browsing the file you can find all the other symbols and what they do. You can also add multiple
functions to a key, by using ALT and SHIFT.
The changes will take effect when you restart X Window. With the XKB extension (you do need to have it
enabled in /etc/XF86Config btw) it's easy to change the mapping of any key.

Non-PostScript printers

Posted by linuxuser On 10:09 AM 0 comments

Unfortunately, most printers are non-PostScript compatible. This means that your LPR program won't like it.
You will probably notice that when you first use 'lpr' to print, the output looks weird on your printer. This is
because these models do not support PostScript. You will need a converting program for it.
Note that newer versions of RedHat already have those programs or similar filters so it may not apply to all
Linux systems.
First, you need to go read the Printing HOWTO to find out how to use lpr and related printing programs.
Then, you'll need to get 2 programs from http://metalab.unc.edu:
bjf
aps
These are the filters to convert text and PostScript to your printer's format.
First, install bjf which will be used to print text. Installation is very simple. type:
make
cp bjf /bin/bjf
Then, make a simple shell script to print text files and call it print.sh:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/bjf <$1> /dev/lp0
Where /dev/lp0 is your printer.
Now, install aps by running the SETUP script in its package. It's really easy to setup, but you do need to have
the GhostScript program installed prior to installation. You are now ready to print PostScript files from, for
example, Netscape or XV.

Everything on sound cards

Posted by linuxuser On 10:08 AM 0 comments

A sound card can be easy or hard to detect. It depends on who made it. Many Sound Blaster Compatible
cards in fact are not compatible with the Linux Sound Blaster driver. Other cards will be compatible with a
driver you would never have thought of.
There are multiple drivers for Linux. Currently the kernel comes with its own set of sound drivers, plus the
OSS/Free drivers. These will support most generic cards. In the installation program, or when compiling your
kernel, you can pick the sound card that matches yours, or the one that matches the chipset on your sound
card (for example, the Sound Blaster PCI64 card uses the AudioPCI chipset).
If your sound card is not supported by the kernel, you will need to get another driver. 2 popular ones are
ALSA available from http://alsa.jcu.cz and OSS/Linux available from http://www.opensound.com
OSS/Linux is a commercial product that supports a lot of cards not available in other drivers because of card
specification restrictions. You will need to see the list of supported cards in each driver and pick the driver
you need.
