[Mupen64Plus + M64py FE] Terminal Installation Help topic

Hello!

After perusing the forums for several hours looking for specific help in installing a console emulator for my kids (specifically Mupen64Plus on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), I have come to the official conclusion that I truly am making this harder than it really needs to be. So here's the breakdown.

1. Initially I reverted to using Wine to emulate the Windows-based N64 program that I am most familiar with -- Project64. The process of installing both the application and Project64 program via the virtual desktop was relatively easy thanks to Ubuntu's Software Center. However...when it came to loading the actual ROM inside of the emulator, graphics became an issue. So for the fun of it I opened the terminal to reveal my display driver. (configuration: driver=i915 latency=0)

Code:

---

...then I remembered how much of a pain in the keister it was to get the third-party plugins for Project64 to run ROMs at acceptable levels on my machine without dumping too many important textures. You know...those awesome graphics that make games such as Majora's Mask unplayable up to a point unless they are enabled? The Lens of Truth, for example, shows otherwise hidden interactive objects that are needed to progress further into the story. Needless to say, I have abandoned Project64 Wine emulation and have moved onto what many users here on the forum recommend -- Mupen64Plus. So let's install it from the repository.

Code:

---

$ sudo apt-get install mupen64plus

---

successful install...and then to update the package list...

Code:

---

$ sudo apt-get update

---

successful update...and then to upgrade...not sure if this is necessary...but why not?

Code:

---

$ sudo apt-get upgrade

---

...booting the program...

Code:

---

OK, so it isn't recognizing the path to the ROM probably because I didn't type it in...whoops! Let's try the "drag-and-drop" method:

Code:

---

z3r0d4t4@HomeStudio:~$ '/home/z3r0d4t4/Desktop/MajorasMask.n64'

---

No dice...the terminal freezes for a few seconds and then returns to command line.

What do you guys/gals think? I am also attempting to install the M64py front end so I can skip the Terminal...but why? Here my D620's specs:

Windows 8 partition gone after Ubuntu 14.04 install please help topic

Hi,
I know there is a lot of similar posts, but none of the solutions there helped me. I had Windows 8 running on a partition of my ssd and there was another empty partition. I wanted to install Ubuntu to that partition. During the installation it said that it hadn't found any OS on the hard drive so I thought "great it is already on the right partition, without me having to choose it." I guess I was wrong. Because after the first reboot I got into Ubuntu directly. No boot loader appeared.

After some research I commented out this line in the etc/default/grub file:

Code:

---

#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0

---

at the next reboot grub 2 appeared, but had no Windows option. Also the dell boot options had no Windows option.

I ran boot repair and clicked on the "recommended repairs" button. After that a Windows Option is available in the dell boot options, but it leads me straight back to the grub menu, where I still don't have a Windows option.
Here is the result link, that boot repair gave me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10156983/

I also ran ubuntu on a bootable flash drive and did the "recommended repairs" in boot repair there. It didn't change a thing.
Here is the result link from that: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10171829
I then clicked on "advanced options" and wanted to change the default OS to load from there, but it only showed the option Ubuntu.

I also tried what is suggested here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/21091...dual-boot?lq=1
with the exact entry suggested:

Quote:

---

Second, you may be able to get GRUB to chainload Windows by adding a suitable entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and then doing a sudo update-grub. An entry might look something like this:

menuentry "Windows 8" {
set root='(hd0,gpt1)'
chainloader /EFI/microsoft/BOOT/bootmgfw.efi
}

---

and I tried this from that same thread:

Quote:

---

Try making a file called /etc/grub.d/30_windows that contains this:

#! /bin/bash
cat << EOF
menuentry "Windows 8" {
insmod part_gpt
insmod chain
set root='(hd0,gpt1)'
chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
EOF
Then run sudo update-grub and reboot.

---

I then had a Windows option in grub but it leads me back to the grub menu.

I tried installing grub to the right place but got this error:

Code:

---

sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: Fehler: cannot find EFI directory.

---

Now I'm no expert and I really hope that someone who knows how to interpret the boot repair details can tell me what the actual problem with my laptop is and can help me solve this. I still have some data on the Windows partition, that I didn't backup. All suggestions are welcome! But please give me step by step solutions, that I can understand. ;)
Thanks a lot!!

Help Needed - Installing on HP Stream 7 topic

Hello All,

I have been working on installing Ubuntu on the hp stream 7 on and off since about Xmas. (Windoze and associated partitions are long gone and the UEFI firmware seems to work just fine, in that it boots my preferences).

I have been able to successfully boot a number of different distributions(all ubuntu flavored; Mate, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu, UbuntuGNOME, ...), using a combination of methods listed above, and elsewhere (though I can't find it now), via bootableUSB. (Please note, for nothing discussed below was there an SD card in the tablet)

Before I had a chance to sit down and take the project back up, (and notice this awesome post!), I had followed a guide that only required moving bootia32.efi to an /EFI/BOOT folder with the native grub.cfg file and making the modification in 4.

Current Method:

0) Get USB install disk.
1) Copy fedlet /EFI to install disk's /.
2) Delete /EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg, move/boot/grub/loopback.cfg to its place.
3) append *efi to linux initrd as described above
4) Replace instances of

Code:

---

quiet splash

---

with

Code:

---

video=VGA-1:800x1280e reboot=pci,force

---

in grub boot options.

If it doesn't work or display, I just reboot and delete the video and reboot settings from (4) before booting.

Problem:

On every ubuntu distibution I tried, the installation process takes inordinately long. By installation process, I mean ubiquity getting ready to install, not the actual install and by long I mean like, battery-life long.

I think I have some indication that it may have to do with the constant error message I see during boot and operation about a blk partition and rw status (including

Code:

---

mmcblk0rpmb: timed out sending r/w cmd command

---

). I will get an exact log when I reboot it.

Some History :

I have managed to have it actually install twice (with no particular pattern). Each time after telling grub where to look, booting, and updating / grub-updating, the tablet wouldn't boot. So I was back to the USBdisk.

When I am running ubiquity, I can't see any indication in top, nor info in dmesg that would give me any impression that the install is getting set-up. I have tried with and without thrid-party pkgs and updates (via an ethernet thether that is recognized), as I noticed a bug relating to this and 14.x variants.

This was going nowhere very slowly, and like many a foolish delatante linuxer, i tried to dd an image to mmcblk0 from the install USB. I know that was stupid - It was even studpider was when I tried it again, a couple attempts later. Granted I had rebooted and formatted the partition, but this didn't get me anywhere.

Now:

Now, I can still boot everything, from a USB. There is a 30 gig main device listed at /dev/mmcblk0 and two /mmcblk0boot[x] partitions, in addition to a few mmcblk0zrams, which I can only assume to be old swap spaces? There is also the mmcblk0prmb which seems to be causing issues.

I know for a fact I haven't done near enough to fry the flash memory from writes. That said, I completely grant I may have fried the SD card from dd or otherwise. Hopefully not.

If your impression is that I did not, do you have any recommendations on how to clean upthe internalSD for install? Once installed, it seems to just be a matter of updating the grub and its paths, though if there is something that needs to be done to a new install (like the install-flash-disk (see above)) I would greatly appreciate suggestions.

If you think I did fry the SD, would anyone know if it is possible to boot regularly from an externalSD? I figure there is still 30 gigs of just fine space in there one way or another, and a large SDs are easy to come by. I apologize for asking something I can probably check in the UEFI settings, the tablet is just quite out of juice after my last 24hr attack.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I am obtaining a copy of windoze now, to see if daddy Gates can help. Barring that working, I am going to try and go down the externalSD route, time for homework kept in mind :P .

Many thanks
[Please Note: I have exerience and no formal training with ubuntu/gnu-linux. I also don't post a lot, so please forgive any over obvious points or things I missed.]

[SOLVED] Need help recovering my 8 GB flash drive from my attempts to format it differently topic

I attempted to format my 8 gig flash drive in different formats, using Gparted and Disk Utility so I could put a larger file on it than what was previously allowed.

Now I can't get Ubuntu 12.04 lts to recognize the flash drive when I insert it.

I can still see it in gparted or Disk Utility. I've formatted it the regular way I think, but it still doesn't show up.

Did I just corrupt the drive beyond recovery?

help please

see attachment screenshot of what Gparted reports that it is unrecognized disk

Help to install driver bt878 on Ubuntu 14.04 topic

Hi! No problems found earlier in this manual: http: // wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? t 882678
Having established the next distribution kit on the basis of Ubuntu 14.04 this instruction does not work

Need help regarding a few things :) topic

Hello!

First of all, id like to say that im not new to computers, nor am i new to the terminal. I am however, new to linux. Linux is such an alien language to me compared to the windows i know. It doesnt change the fact that I hate the road windows has choosen. Hence the switch,

I am running ubuntu 14.04 on dual boot on my

ZENBOOK UX32VD

it has
Core i7 Quad 1.9 Ghz (Up to 2.2)
GeForce GT 620M 1gig
4 (soon 6) Gigs of ram

PROBLEM 1:
How do I check if everything runs as it should? I know how to do this in windows and i usually check up on everything. But on ubuntu, right now I dont know how much of my hardware runs as it should!

PROBLEM 2:
Currently, these are the "erors" I have:

- Cant connect to dormitory wireless altho settings are the same as friends with ubuntu. I can connect to all other wireless networks.
- When starting ubuntu I get: "ERROR too many voltage retries, give up". After that, everything starts up as it should.
- Battery life is halved compared to windows (normally i can run 4-5 hours. Ubuntu runs 2hours. I have installed TLS)
- I am trying to install MAPLE software, but I cannot activate it. I get "Missing HOST ID for license server". I have installed lsb-base and lsb-core. (Note that I do not know if the installation is in affect, but i did reboot after installation).
- CPU is running at average 20% when idle, vs windows running at average 10% when idle. Cannot see why, and as of drivers, I have no idea how to check if things are as it should be. (I have tried a few terminal commands found on the internet, some of them just gave errors and i stopped at that, and now I have a feeling that my "Ubuntu" is not as clean as it could be).


If I can get some help, that would be great! :)

Thanks in advance!

Ubuntu to Mac sharing problem. (need help with mount.cifs or equivalent) topic

I'm an ubuntu newbie. So far just about everything on ubuntu has been easier to configure than I've anticipated, except for this, which has been an unresolvable nightmare.

Here's what I have:

a mac mini running os x 10.6
a pc running ubuntu version 14.04

All I want to do is mount one of my mac directories on my ubuntu machine (preferably in the /mnt directory), with full access to the permissions on that directory (so commands like chmod work)
And I need that shared directory to be accessible to the web server I'm running on my ubuntu machine. For instance if the permissions on a file are rw-rw-rw it should be readable to the webserver.

Here is what I've been using: sudo mount.cifs //mac-mini.local/sharename/ /mnt/Test -o username=myusername,password=mypassword,sec=ntlmss p,gid=1000,uid=1000

(it took me a while to get that far, by the way. almost every mount.cifs example I've seen leaves off gid, and uid, which makes the permissions break,uggggghh! People who write tutorials and manual pages
sure do a bad job of explaining the importance of options.)

Anyway, with that command everything works great, at first. Permissions work like it's a local drive. the web server works just like it's a local drive.. EXCEPT there is one HUGE bizarro problem which leads to catastrophe: on my mac, the smbd process starts out as 2.5 mb in memory use (which is fine. that's nothing), but it grows and grows and grows and grows and grows the more a I access files and subdirectories... real memory and virtual memory use will grow to 1gig and beyond, and eventually everything goes to hell on the mac. The memory is never freed. Ubuntu can sit idle for a day, and the mac is still dedicating over a gig to that share for some unknown reason. What I have to do is umount the directory on my ubuntu machine to free the memory on the mac (that command can take like 10 minutes instead of 2 seconds), and then remount. (Incidentally, the umount command usually makes the mac use up hundreds of megabytes of extra memory before finally releasing all the memory... what in the world is it possibly doing?) I'm running some perl and fortran programs on ubuntu, so I thought maybe they were the culprits somehow, but even a bunch of simple ls commands or vi edits can make memory use on the mac jump in 5, 6, 7 megabyte increments, never to be freed up again, until i do the umount....

Is this a bug in mac smb? Or does my mount.cifs command need to be written differently? Am I leaving off a crucial configuration point?

I've noticed that if I run nautilus and do a smb mount, the file permissions don't work (the web server can't access the mount--under /run/user/1000/gvfs) and the MAC STILL uses more and more
memory the more I access the share.... So nautilus triggers that memory quirk, too...... So smb via nautilus sucks.....

If I instead use nautilus to do an ftp or afp mount, there is no memory usage problem at all (so that's a plus!), but I have the same file permissions problem. (the webserver can't see a thing, and I've tried giving ultimate permissions in the /run/user/ etc. etc. directory) What am I supposed to be doing to get this to work?

I don't care if I use smb, ftp, or afp to share--I just want something that works and is accessible to scripting and the web server. What's the solution? it has to be simple? I should note I've also played without with a command called mount_afp and it 'times out' which is obviously nonsense, since I know afp works on my machine... Why is this so hard???

[lubuntu] Black screen on start up - help? topic

Hi, tried to install Wine. Used the Lubuntu Software center, added to cart and then left it to install. Came back 30-minutes later and a black screen.

I am using it within VMWare Player and I can shut it down via Player and I see the Lubuntu sign-off screen.

I can restart it and see the Sign-on screen, but then a few seconds later it goes black with no mouse cursor.

Any way to roll back to before the Wine attempt?
OR
Any way to get beneath the black screen and kill off whatever is causing it?

My last backup was 2/3/15 so hoping I can recover what I had just before Wine, but can go to 2/3 if I must.

Thought I'd ask here first. :)

Unable to boot-- all files lost? please help! topic

Hi there!

I came home and tried to turn my computer on but got the message no bootable device and was unable to boot into my ubuntu 14.04. I dual boot with windows 7 but cannot access that either, just a black screen with the error message.

Usually what happens is a purple screen where there are a few options including ubuntu 14.04 and windows 7 and i choose one and it boots.

I have since then made sure my bios settings are fast boot: off and the eufi settings are set to both eufi and the other one (sorry forget the name!) but all variations in my bios settings make no difference. Sometimes it shows my SDD in the boot options (i think thats my hardrive?) but sometimes not.. I took that back off my laptop and unplugged the harddrive then put it back in but no difference..

I've created a bootable usb stick and i now use my computer on a "try it now" live session.

I ran boot repair, the first time it said successful but then went to an empty screen with a loading wheel that then went on forever till my power cut out. (my laptops battery is dead, needs to stay plugged in). The pastebin given to me for this 'successful' boot repair was http://paste.ubuntu.com/9690854/

When i turned the computer back on there had been no change, still black screen. i tried again and this time it said 'backup your files' and gave me a pastebin which said 'no partitions'

I've left it a few weeks and i just tried again with the boot repair and the pastebin also says 'no partitions': http://paste.ubuntu.com/10133958/

Does this mean all my files have been lost? on both windows and ubuntu? I dont mind about getting the two operating systems back, or the files I had on windows 7, I just really want to get back the files I had on the Ubuntu OS, it had all my photos and work and secure documents, some of which were encfs files i opened with cryptkeeper.

Is there any way of getting them back? massive disaster if I can't!

I'm on a samsung series 5 ultra laptop

Many thanks for any help you can give me!!!!

Dual booting with Windows help topic

I'd like to dual boot my Xubuntu setup with Windows for gaming purposes. (7, 8 or 8.1, I'm not fussy so long as it works) And I'd like some pointers.

Firstly, What are the security implications? I've heard the scare stories about windows without AV protection being crackable in 20 seconds or less but is that true? Especially if I'm doing no browsing on the partition? What if I did regular ClamAV scans or similar on the partition?

Secondly, How much of a hassle is it to resize one of my 500GB hard drives with a 350GB or so windows partition? It ought to be quite easy but if windows detects Xubuntu on the install will it wipe it or in some other way handicap it?

Thirdly, I can get a copy of Windows 8.1 from the microsoft website for about £50 because it's a student license and I 'am' a student. This will also enable me to upgrade to windows 10 in the future.

Lastly, I run off a home network. With cameras and a few servers and such. Those all run Linux. Also variants like KDE and such. Would Windows or any malware affect those?

Thanks. I appreciate the help.

Ned help with BIOS topic

I am having somewhat of a complicated issue. A while back I made a partition on my hard drive to install Ubnuntu alongside Windows 8. I had a load of trouble doing this, i had an issue with the GRUB menu showing up to boot into Ubuntu so i had to disable fast startup in Windows but it didnt show up still. I found a website telling me to do about 15 minutes of just crazy CMD commands and it eventually worked, i got the menu to pop up. I now wanted to move Ubuntu to a separate hard drive on my computer. I deleted the partition Ubuntu was on, i have yet to put Ubuntu on the other drive because my BIOS won't come up. I clicked the del key when it asks but my screen turns black and nothing will happen. Thank you.

[ubuntu] Beginner Needing Help! Please! topic

I would love to start using Ubuntu properly and have already installed Ubuntu (latest version) to my old HP Pavilion tx 2000 (previously running windows vista) from a Live USB (pendrivelinux). Now my problem is that when the LiveUSB is plugged in, I can go to Software updates and go to additional drivers and configure my 802.11 broadcom driver in order to use my wireless internet. However, when I boot the computer normally without the USB in it, I cant find the additional driver to activate my wireless connection! this is totally bumming me out and is way more complicated than I anticipated! If anyone can help me that would be AMAZING! Because I really want to have a good experience with Linux in general.
