/` 100% Wine + Linux /` "Prey" Retail & "Left 4 Dead" Demo A bit of a surprise, and then some.. I bought the Prey Retail game through steam, running on Wine. Installed Steam with Wine-doors, again (yes each account has its own wine setup, so since I'm on a different account I have to reinstall everything again for the new user..So I installed Steam again on the same machine, my other account has a separate Wine setup with different programs installed, its like each account gets its own private wine machine.. Anyhow, I purchased Prey in a web browser.. Steam in wine was a littl unresponsive, so given that the store permits purchase without steam, I did that, then I used Steam to download both the "Prey" retail, and the "Left4Dead" demo, which BTW I didn't really know of until I came into the Steam store... Practically any valve game that uses the source engine will work in wine.. Left4Dead is another, and this is a recent release! The Prey installer is in the debugging stages, I was notified by one of their developers to this fact.. So I will eventually be able to install prey for linux, native retail, but I can play it in wine too, and will, until I can get the native installer.

[Help with Puppy Linux]: Connecting to Internet Simple video I made to answer someones question about connecting to the Internet with Puppy Linux.. Note, it only works if Puppy recognizes your ethernet/wifi card, if it doesn't see it, it may require more hacking.. Note, I've connected a zip drive to puppy, and that even requires some work to do as Puppy won't recognize the drive until you force it to unload the parallel port driver and install the zip drive support, which is a few commands in the terminal window. So search around if for some reason you internet card doesn't work, but at the very least you can see that it does work in the Virtual Box which says in a perfect world, puppy works.. But no world is perfect :| Tags: Connecting to the Internet with Puppy Linux Seamonky Flash Music Video |

/` 100% Ubuntu Linux /` Finding Space Hogs I've shown how to locate space hogs on your drives using Spacemonger in wine, although it works on windows as well it takes a long time for it to analyze the disk space.. Here is an easier method via the terminal window in linux.. "du -ks * | sort -n" In english: Find disk utilization in kilobytes, sum up the usage per directory.. Sort results numerically (ascending).. Your space hog will appear at the bottom of the results.. This will either be a file or a directory with files.. It would be nice if there was something more graphical for Ubuntu to permit you to free up space, but at the very least you can do it in the terminal window.. Even better, though, you can archive, weed out files by suffix using the wildcard commands, and copy/movie files to other disks, all without ever leaving the terminal window.. Oh another thing, with forward ticks you can substitute the output of a command as command line arguments.. BTW, if you need a backup of the commands you have executed, use this command: history > command_history_backup.txt BTW, > is a greater than symbol, evidently youtube's expert programmers don't know how to escape a gt symbol in html.. You know they've got to be using php with magic quotes turned on with fixes like this..

/` 100% Wine + Linux /` Nightfall HQ Mode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2122Rw8KAQ&fmt=18 You will need Flash 10 or Flash 10 Beta. Adobe has deb files for Ubuntu 8.04. If you have 7.10 go to http://www.chann3lz.com/ubuntu I bought Nightfall online, cheaper than buying from Amazon, and no wait.. It was worth it.. The addition of "heroes" that are like henchman paper-dolls you can buff up with spells, insignias and primary runes, weapons.. Even better, the ability to rip off runes without losing armor and availability of spells for secondary professions from all characters on the account. It's actually better to start in chronological order to some degree than doing Guild Wars backward, as it makes you a stronger fighter, whereas working backward is too easy, I'd think.. Anyhow in this video I demonstrate that playing guild wars is a bit more than just pressing buttons, but can be a bit more complex. Note, probably my biggest weakness, is I don't use the typical tank approach, which is too slow for me.. I'm a bit more aggressive, so I'm not someone you want to play with in a group, but I will eventually learn to fool the AI, but in hard mode it seems the AI eventually pinpoints your weakness, so its best to keep changing the approach to the fight.. Like today I decided to try a number of monks, it worked until I got some Gargoyles with "soul barbs" which deal damage when hexes and enchantments are added or removed from a foe (me), which really made having more monks a problem.. Luckily I had a mesmer and necromancer among the group.. Also I show my current set of spells and my working builds for my heroes.. Until I can get some key spells for common builds (from PvX wiki website) Being a level 20, it is hard to get spells cheaply.. Bingo.. I just figured something out right now, start off with other primary professions, from scratch and obtain all the other missing spells? \8^| Anyhow, I'm finding I'm going to have to buy Eye of the North.. Keep in mind that you will have to get all 4 packages to really play the game, so its like paying 120 dollars for a game on lay away, only you can play it as you come to each part.. Beats paying 14 dollars a month for online fee, but if you only intend on getting one guild wars, or two, get Nightfall and Eye of the North.. They have more of the key spells and they benefit from the wisdom of the previous campaigns. BTW, Eye of the North is just an add-on of additional quests and territory, it augments the other three packs by expanding territory in the north of each pack.. It also adds more spells, but it is not a new Campaign, Nightfall is the last "campaign".. So Eye of the North doesn't offer a new story but elaborates on the existing ones. There is still stuff I haven't learned about the campaigns I own, so its not one of those games you master and then put away.. It will take you a year or more to really explore it. Mostly I'm playing the game because I'm serriously addicted to it, but I prefer playing it in Linux as I prefer to be in Linux than to use Windows, which carries a set of burdens that outweight those of Windows, like dealing with security holes in Windows and the progressive corruption of the environment due to each vendors perception of how to fix the Windows environment for you. Linux takes a different approach to getting things done that is more unified and less guesswork, help is easier to find too.. This would be counter-intuitive, considering everyone has Windows, but as diverse are the number of applications available for Windows, many of the packages just replicate the technology of the others with no cross-pollination, so each has its own idiosyncrasies that over time make it harder to find help, leading to the dreaded "I'm sorry but you will probably need to reinstall windows". Linux avoids this by saying "yes you can", in this case, if you ever have to reinstall linux, you have the choice of separating your home from your root partition, permitting you to install linux without affecting your personal data and maintaining your accounts across upgrades, something I've found to be rather difficult to do on Windows.. See some of my other videos to see just how easy Ubuntu is to use.. It's like driving a hot rod, it's fast and customizable, but you have to be willing to get your fingers dirty to tune it. Even if you prefer to keep Windows in the cases where Linux doesn't shine, you at least aren't burdened by the need to upgrade just because Microsoft is going to drop support for your favorite release of Windows. All in All Linux gives you a different perspective on using computers that in the long run is better for you than being locked into the same choices everyone has on the Windows platform.

/` 110% Ubuntu /` "Prey" (Linux-Native) Demo [HQ Vers] HQ mode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqonFDrwuuE&fmt=18 This is the same video, just higher resolution version, I haven't had much success uploading 150MB videos to youtube, but if this makes it, good deal.. Another native linux game, ETQW being the other I tried. This is the second, I've tried, all others required the use of wine.. The installation of Prey seemed smooth, and despite the hiccups in the video (which are due to the combination of Xvidcap and the game taxing the CPU, I played the game at 1280x1024 without any hiccups at all, it seemed very smooth), and tons of pixel shader effects.. I thought it was only a demo, but according to the page where I got the demo, it can be bought and downloaded from steam.. The page I got this from: http://icculus.org/prey/ seems to say that you need to install the game in windows and point the game engine on linux at the install directory on windows, but I'm going to try and see if I can use wine to install the game from steam.. I have windows, but it would be something to do it without windows.. The game only costs 20 dollars.. A bargain.. BTW, I bought Guild Wars Nightfall, and will make a video covering that soon.. I'm also getting deep into the source code of blender trying to figure out how the sequence editor plugins work now. I was looking at the source code of blender to locate a particular option in the API cause I didn't understand, and found the source code that controls the sequence editor options in blender as well as the sound api.. I'm not sure I'll try to make changes to blender or anything, but I'm getting comfortable with the sources, I want to write some sequence editor plugins so I can add some fancy wipes to blender. Oh BTW, search for "linux games" the linux gamer site with the moto "find your inner penguin" is where I located this demo. Also found out about the game that the Game Blender team at blender.org is working on, the cute squirrel from big buck bunny is the protagonist of the game "Yo Frankie!"

/` 100% Blender 3D /` Linking Data in Blender HQ version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY0jf4YlCXI&fmt=18 You must have Flash 10 to see the HQ version. Ubuntu 8.04 has Flash 10 now, however for earlier versions of Ubuntu, go to my website at http://www.chann3lz.com/ubuntu This video covers the linking of data in blender. This utilizes the Cntrl-L and "U" keystrokes.. One links data from the the last shift-selected object to the placeholders of the other selected objects, so all objects share the last selected object's data. The way blender is organized, everything, practically can share the same data.. I show visually, using the "Oops Schematic" the linking relationships and even show how you can select objects and arrange the Oops Schematic items so as to make it possible to decipher the relationships between the data and objects. I also show how this linking and unlinking of data (made possible with the "U" key in object mode), can allow one to construct scenes quickly without losing the ability to do detail work on parts of the construction, as needed.. I also cover "appending" data in from other files, and demonstrate and describe the differences between appending data and linking data in from another file. Note, "Linking" of data from another file, in an environment where a drive can be shared among a group of artists, permits the group to work on a project together without stepping on each other's toes, as would be the case if everyone was to work in the same, or a copy of the same file.

Note: #3, the grounds that the RIAA/MPAA sues people is that they distribute copyrighted content, not that they download it.. P2P clients make you a distributor of the content by nature.. Also on #3, there is a greater chance for you to find bands you like, given the rating system it employs.. Also note, for #3 you will need "downthemall" plug-in for firefox, it permits you to download multiple mp3 files at once just by selecting "dta one-click" from any skreemr results page.. #1 is soooo no brainer.. #2 is probably the hardest one here.

/` 100% Ubuntu /` Editing the Call of Duty Install Video Okay I decided to show you my composite/editing process for the Call of Duty install I will upload later.. Note, I found out I used the wrong audio codec, I needed mp4 with mp3, not mp4 video with mp2 audio.. For some reason that doesn't work, but it seems it works fine with the mp3.. *shrug* .. It's rendering that out now, and is about a quarter done with the composite. I also had to apply some "constant" curves to the "adds" to have it augment the brightness at just the right moment, as this augmentation doesn't look good for the desktop views. When in the game, I had to turn the "adds" up full blast.. BTW, if you need something more precise, you could probably combine an add with a gamma cross.. As for this video, the making of video, I didn't bother editing since it was okay, so I just did a ogg convert on it.. It didn't seem to take any time to render it out, something like 10 minutes.. I put it out at V:5 with a:3 via ogg convert, and it made a 50 meg video, for 17000 frames!! Not bad, thats about 30 minutes of 10fps video. If this was realtime video (30fps), expect a longer render time.. Remember most films are anywhere between 16fps and 24fps, 8fps with sepia tone if you want to do a charlie chaplin movie. There isn't a sepia in blender, but you can use "multiply" with a color and add in some white.. To do film grain I would make an animation in blender.. I guess I could do a tutorial on creating a running film in blender, I did it once complete with specular high-lights , I mean a film cell simulation, like looking at it passing through a film projector, and then as part of a title.. I did it on an old version of blender, it involved animating a layered texture with some stretched clouds on the specular/hardness channels to create "developer runs" across the film.. You can get incredibly detailed with blender with what you want.. The best part is if you need something again, you can go back, get the blend file and borrow stuff. Blender was designed to be used in a collaborative environment, so there is plenty of options for importing data from other blend files.. What the skeptics don't know may hurt them, but the blender fans are aware.. BTW, the install of call of duty, was unrehearsed.. This is the first time I've picked up this game, well I remember playing the demo, I think it came out around the time of Battlefield Vietnam.. Both will install in Wine, I've demonstrated BFV sometime back.. I guess I should try and install BFV again.. But BFV has a really bad single player mode.. You can play both in multiplayer mode, but not on the Punk Buster stuff.. PB sucks, I hope god pours his wrath out on the PB developers.. Just kidding.. It's a good thing, but its a pain int he ass when it is not working.. Tags: Making of Call Of Duty Install in Ubuntu Linux Video Editing with Blender 3D 2.48 Windows Macintosh Wine |

/\ 100% Ubuntu Linux /\ Blender 3D Texture Plugins (PART 2) In this tutorial/demo I show off blender's texture plugin system: 1. compile textures. 2. try out textures in blender. 3. read source code for textures and attempt to decipher all the pieces. 4. tweaking the textures and materials for and object. 5. cover as well: texture mapping in the material attributes, texture layers, copying/pasting of texture layers, some coverage of texture linking, interface configuration to permit manipulation of materials and textures at the same time (with preview), and as always much much more. Also covered: new feature of blender, the "boolean" modifier (aka "procedural modeling") applied to a very simple animation (sphere cutting away at a cube). For the record, I used the VNC to manage this upload, see my tutorial on VNC and SSH to learn how to work remotely.

/\ 100% Ubuntu Linux /\ Blender 3D Texture Plugins (PART 1) In this tutorial/demo I show off blender's texture plugin system: 1. compile textures. 2. try out textures in blender. 3. read source code for textures and attempt to decipher all the pieces. 4. tweaking the textures and materials for and object. 5. cover as well: texture mapping in the material attributes, texture layers, copying/pasting of texture layers, some coverage of texture linking, interface configuration to permit manipulation of materials and textures at the same time (with preview), and as always much much more. Also covered: new feature of blender, the "boolean" modifier (aka "procedural modeling") applied to a very simple animation (sphere cutting away at a cube). For the record, I used the VNC to manage this upload, see my tutorial on VNC and SSH to learn how to work remotely.

,/`\ 100% Ubuntu Linux /`\. Remote Computing I redid this, see the newer video: SSH + VNC.. This one will remain for reference.. In this tutorial I'll show you ( when I can get it to work :^| ) how to 0. Intro to ssh, or secure shell, which is not really a shell per se, but a highly encrypted "telnet" app with tunneling capabilities, that permit you to route multiple services over a single encrypted connection. 1. setup ssh server (just install ssh from synaptic). 2. connect to the ssh server (just "ssh name@server"). 3. how to use X Windows over SSH, without vnc (below). 4. how to transfer files over ssh, using sftp. VNC - a tool that permits you to connect to any machine remotely, regardless of host operating system, beit windows, mac or linux.. By simply polling and copying screen changes, compressing and sending to a client program that displays and permits one to remotely control applications on the remote machine using a variety of VNC clients. Note, some VNC client programs permit sessions to be recorded and converted to flash files, I will not cover this, but I noticed a number of programs in the synaptic package manager that claim to do this. Anyhow this part will cover 1. how to install vnc server. 2. connect to the server over a web browser. 3. how to connect to vnc with an alternate client. VNC + SSH Tunneling - utilizing a feature in ssh called "tunneling" we can take a remote service and create a proxy service on our local machine that is actually a portal to the remote machines service. In this case, use VNC securely through a SSH session to a remote computer that may be behind a firewall, permitting that there is only one port into the firewall from the outside: an ssh server. Or to connect out of a firewall to a remote computer, say your home desktop, so you can say do something like play GuildWars from work during your lunch hour ( I was able to do this, over my own network, but there is some update issues). 1. show you how to create a SSH tunnel. 2. connect to remote computers VNC "webserver" through that "secure" tunnel. For the record, I'm typing this from my laptop, near the kitchen, so I can eat, drink, watch miro, and upload this video, from my desktop machine, which I do my tutorials on, near the rooms where people are sleeping, so I can avoid waking them up while I do this.

,/`\ 100% Ubuntu Linux /`\. Who is Mark Shuttleworth? Well I just put together some youtube videos into one large one with a bit of me talking about miro on the end, and this great idea I had for eliminating the threat of email viruses and such.. But the idea needs some work.. Anyhow I made this video more for the nameless individuals, who may not show up on the view counts on my video that access it by downloading it through Miro.. I know youtube doesn't register viewcounts from video access by mainly only through those people that come to the youtube site, so there is likely more I'm reaching through miro, and this video is for you guys mainly.. In the TED bit this is the "World Wind" application, it was previously compiled, it seems for Windows, but it seems it is making it's way into Intrepid, the next release of Ubuntu due out sometime this month, or the next.. This is the package on Nasa's site: http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ The package, referenced from ubuntu's package reference page on the web: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=worldwind Tags: who is mark shuttleworth why here what ubuntu open source the future computer virus kill miro video podcast |

/`100% UBUNTU /` Google Earth, VMWare, CLI Task Management I outlined what I was going to cover in this video, so it is not a complete run-on: 1. I reinstalled Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on my laptop with almost no problems, I cover what the hurdles were and what I did to knack them. I also talk about why I was forced to, simply I switched from ALSA to OSS thinking I'd get my mic support working, however most all the applications in Ubuntu support ALSA only, so if you read on the Ubuntu site to think twice about going to OSS, take them on the advice.. But even if you do, I've got here advice on doing a reinstall.. Took me no more than 4 hours to do and I lost none of my user data nor my desktop configurations.. This feat on Windows XP (at least) is practically impossible.. When you reinstall Windows it means wiping the C drive and copying stuff back and you have to restart your machine at least 4 times with windows, and the whole XP install can take up to 8 hours to complete.. On linux you can do a reinstall almost without even a second thought, unless you stored your data in any other places on the installation drive other than the home directory partition.. 2. Installing software from binary installers in Ubuntu: Google Earth, VM Ware's VM Player, and Quake Wars Enemy Territory, all use binary installers.. I discuss them and cover a bit about file permissions and changing group and ownership (in the reinstall discussion). I give a demonstration of google earth running on my desktop machine with Ubuntu, but google earth is as fluid here on my desktop as it is on the laptop (not shown). 3. Guild Wars Hard Mode, and what it is good for, as well as where to locate the hottest skill builds "PvX Wiki". 4. I do a demonstration of managing tasks on the command line, and how to send start, stop and kill signals to other tasks, how to run a task in the background ("bg" if task is running or end the command line with a "&" on the end). So all in all you should learn something from this.. But mainly that there is no excuse avoid Linux.. It works.. 2.

_/- 100% Ubuntu -\_ How to copy directories without "cp -r" Have Flash 10? Use this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v9gV-rjYZY&fmt=18 If you need Flash 10 for Ubuntu, go here http://www.chann3lz.com/ubuntu In this video I will demonstrate some more command line tricks.. Including sort, uniq, wc, and a different way of copying files not using traditional commands but by using a pipe and a subshell. In addition I demonstrate Sun's Virtual Box 2.0 (used to be Innotek Virtual Box). In that I demonstrate three flavors of puppy linux: Vestapup (a vista-looking interface), Macpup (macOSX-like environment) and Churchpup (Christian Centric environment). Also, as usual I get to play music videos, because it is inevitable. Tags: tar tricks copy move without windows linux ubuntu puppy sun virtual box vb innotek command line terminal pipe music free |
