@Omnitic Please don't ask to ask; if you simply ask your actual question, we will help you if we know the answer or can help you find it. This is much faster and simpler than asking if it's OK to ask. As a rule, it is always OK to ask in this channel. Please go ahead.

@Omnitic as opposed to open source, proprietary graphics drivers are closed-source and you can't view the source code of them

Omnitic

I don't get the image when I run this.

in the website it says I need proprietary graphics

How can I get those?

allquixotic

@Omnitic what operating system are you running?

That Brazilian Guy

Which image? Which site? What are you trying to accomplish?

Omnitic

I want to run this game called yu gi oh pro on my linux mint computer.

the website says i need proprietary graphics, but I don't know how to get those.

any ideas?

@allquixotic linux mint.

allquixotic

17:23

@Omnitic try googling -- there are only a few thousand posts detailing how to install graphics drivers for your hardware... you should start by figuring exactly which graphics card you have in the first place

Boris_yo

@ChatBotJohnCavil I wonder what does this mean...

allquixotic

it's literally two or three googles max

google 1: how do i find out which graphics card i have on linux mint

google 2: how do i install proprietary graphics driver for <graphics vendor>

i can't even think of a third one

that should literally be all you need

That Brazilian Guy

@allquixotic I tend to disagree. His question is not impossible. He seems honest. He just doesn't seem to know what are video drivers, graphic cards, etc

@allquixotic 3. how do I install wine on mint OR debian

No, wait, the post covers that

allquixotic

@ThatBrazilianGuy fair point :P but I didn't click the link due to dubious domain

Omnitic

I allready have wine.

I managed to run it, no image, so I need drivers, thanks Ill try what you say

That Brazilian Guy

17:25

> How do you make it run on Linux?

Open up the Terminal and install WINE

Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint and other APT distributions: Visit here for info http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu
Fedora and other YUM distributions: yum install wine-*
Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S wine Please uncomment multilib repositories in /etc/pacman.conf first.
Others: Use Google or install WINE from source.

When it's done, download YGOPro and simply run the ygopro.exe.
Please note that you must use PROPRIETARY graphics drivers (closed-source) or it will not work.

allquixotic

also it should be mentioned, if you only have an Intel integrated GPU on your CPU or motherboard, then no proprietary graphics driver exists for your hardware at all

Omnitic

yup, just need graphics

thats what I have.

allquixotic

so once again, google... I could easily tell you, but you would benefit much more from learning how to learn

Omnitic

I have an intel gpu

allquixotic

aha, so you already know that you have Intel :)

Omnitic

17:26

but you said no drivers exist

allquixotic

in that case, it is completely impossible for you to obtain a proprietary graphics driver for your hardware on GNU/Linux, because no such driver exists

Omnitic

then what can I do to get it to run?

allquixotic

the only thing you could possibly do is install a newer version of the open source graphics stack, but given the questions you've asked so far, that is probably way above your skill level

are you running the very latest version of Linux Mint?

Omnitic

no, I have 14

That Brazilian Guy

@Omnitic You have two options: (1) buy a new video card, (2) give up

allquixotic

17:27

oh, okay

well in that case, a newer version of Linux Mint will definitely have a newer version of the open source graphics stack

so I would suggest you try that before you buy anything

Omnitic

ok, Ill do that, thanks

what is hv?

like a troll?

allquixotic

@Omnitic don't mind me; I get a little grumpy sometimes when people ask the same stuff over and over... nothing to be concerned about, please carry on

that, and I have to attend a baby shower in 15 minutes that I totally do not care about, so I'm not entirely in the best mood ;p but yet I helped you, so there's that at least

17:30

@Omnitic Wait, Mint 14 has already been released?

allquixotic

@ThatBrazilianGuy um. 16 is out

Mint doesn't follow Ubuntu version conventions

Ubuntu goes YearYear.MonthMonth

Mint goes 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, ....

actually Mint 14 -> 16 should provide substantially newer and better Intel open source graphics drivers

(depending on your hardware of course)

Omnitic

yay

allquixotic

...Intel and other companies with an interest in the open source graphics stack have been investing a lot of resources into making the Intel open graphics drivers more feature-complete and less buggy in the past year or so

but most of their resources are focused on chips manufactured in the past 2-3 years

No, Orly:

Orly, France

Orly is a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located from the center of Paris. The name of Orly came from Latin Aureliacum, "the villa of Aurelius". Paris-Orly Airport partially lies on the territory of the commune of Orly, which gave its name to the airport. Transport Orly is served by two stations on Paris RER line C: Les Saules and Orly – Ville.

Hoping someone here can help quickly and easily. :) Do 2.5" SATA SSDs use the same or different connectors as compared to 3.5" SATA HDDs?

Canadian Luke

Same

Michael Kjörling

@CanadianLuke Thank you!

Canadian Luke

@MichaelKjörling Thank YOU for not asking to ask, and just asking :P JK

Michael Kjörling

Just to be 100% certain, we're talking both data and power then, correct?

allquixotic

@MichaelKjörling same cables, different enclosure / form factor

unless you get mSATA which is a different beast entirely

Michael Kjörling

21:41

Good. Then I won't have to worry about adapters. I'm looking at 2.5" SATA SSDs specifically.

Intel 530 series 120 GB SATA-III and Kingston SSDNow V300 60GB SATA-III to be precise.

(The latter because it's cheap ;) I plan for it to serve as swap space only.)

Thank you both :) Is that OK, @CanadianLuke? ;)

Canadian Luke

Intel is #1!

And if you crack open some of the Kingston SSDnow's, they're Intel inside

Braiam

21:56

@CanadianLuke NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO‌OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Michael Kjörling

@CanadianLuke Yeah, that's what two of the IT guys at work told me about Intel's reputation too.

For the Kingston I basically looked at what my retailer offers in terms of 2.5" SATA SSDs, sorted by price, and picked the cheapest. It'll sit idle holding no useful data probably 99% of the time, but I figure putting swap on a different drive should also allow the system drive (which will be the Intel) to relax as far as writes go. I'm not particularly worried about write cycles but figure why stress the more important one unnecessarily.

With my current utilization the Intel one will sit at about 9% used in terms of capacity :)

Boris_yo

@CanadianLuke What about Samsung and Crucial?

Canadian Luke

Crucial, the first batch we got had about a 75% failure rate within the first 3 months. They started selling Samsung after I left that shop, so I have no opinions on Samsung's SSDs

Boris_yo

@allquixotic mSATA is a PCB for PCI express slot!

Boris_yo

22:16

@CanadianLuke Crucial M4s? No way they had Marvell controller and are considered reliable where I live.

@MichaelKjörling So you want Kingston 120GB for swap and Intel 128GB for data? You are taking writes thing too seriously. One of NAND chips are rather to fail before amount of writes reaches its wearout.

Canadian Luke

22:29

Don't use SSDs for swap! It's going to kill it and be a waste of money, all at the same time. I'd much rather have my RAID0 array for my Swap like I had before

allquixotic

or just have a hardware RAID0 array (with RAID controller) of 4TB 7200RPM disks and a crapton of RAM, like me... bootup is slow, but once it's running, it's great... most stuff honestly hits page cache in RAM, and what doesn't ends up with great throughput from the array, plus the array has a little bit of cache on top of the disks' internal cache

Boris_yo

22:47

@CanadianLuke How should laptop users live then?

Canadian Luke

@Boris_yo For swap? Just on a regular hard drive. Swap gets written to a lot, which is why you'll sometimes see Windows not put a swap file on SSDs in the first place... At least, not Windows 7 when I would install it

Boris_yo

@CanadianLuke You would install Windows 7 on SSD and get message that you cannot proceed before you put HDD in?

Canadian Luke

What? No

If I installed Windows 7 from the OEM disk with just an SSD installed, the swap file isn't turned on by default

Boris_yo

@CanadianLuke But Windows cannot exist without swap file. People tried turning it off and experienced a lot of BSODs by solely relying on RAM.

Canadian Luke

... I'm running without a page file right now

Boris_yo

22:58

@CanadianLuke How much RAM?

Canadian Luke

8GB

Boris_yo

wat... Can you show me settings of your swap file?

Canadian Luke

When I'm back in Windows, sure

Boris_yo

@CanadianLuke We will probably forget about this later...

Canadian Luke

Probably

Boris_yo

23:00

@CanadianLuke Should I set swap file to lesser size on SSD?

Canadian Luke

Like I said, I just turn it off. Stop all swapping. And I've never had a BSOD because of no swap file

But if you're getting BSODs for that reason, I'd be wondering about my RAM

Boris_yo

That's what I have.

@CanadianLuke forums.adobe.com/message/4934291

Braiam

23:18

yay! My SO account has the same rep as my MSO... now I need to answer something else...

@CanadianLuke the only thing that needs swap (for god's know what reason) is MSOffice, no other program needs swap...

It used to be used long ago for allowing programs to pass information back and forth. Again, I don't use it and I haven't had a BSOD on my own system for many years
