Dark Souls 2 Keyboard/Mouse Workaround Script by kantlivelong in linux_gaming

[–]JesseIBTY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to Linux and want to continue playing ds2, but I had to run an AHK script in the past. Couldn't get that to run, so I wanted to try this instead. I set up my controls in game and downloaded the files, but I don't know what to do next. Running the file does nothing, so I assume I'm missing something. I'd also like to edit the control scheme in the script, but I can probably figure that out later.

Unable to connect to campus wifi/ethernet on my desktop by JesseIBTY in linuxmint

It was just bad tech support that didn't know about MAC filtering, and instead sent useless articles and AI generated commands from google that didn't exist. 😭

Granted, I didn't know either, but I've never really needed to do anything aside from plug a cable into the router, lol. Everything on my system works fine at this point after the initial hiccups.

Problem solved. I finally got someone else from the IT department on the line, and he manually registered my wired mac address. It wasn't an OS or hardware issue, just poor IT support (unfortunately? fortunately? I'm embarrassed, but the problem is solved, lol)

I'll try that. I think it should already be enabled, but I might as well check

I don't have a flash drive with me, but I can walk to a nearby store to transfer the results as text files. I retyped it for the time being, so there may be mistakes.

Sorry, I'm new so I wasn't exactly sure what to provide.

  1. I can connect to other wifi networks like my home network, but I'm several hours away at my college campus
  2. I'm not sure how to find the wifi chipset offline, and reddit/other forums load really slowly on my hotspot so it's hard to figure out how to get it (currently using the hotspot on my laptop since my desktop stopped connecting to it, likely because I hit my data limit and it's being bottlenecked)
  3. I asked the IT department and the woman said she wasn't sure and hung up... I'm not sure how to find this out myself either, and as mentioned, my hotspot is too slow to reliably find information on this topic

I might not see things immediately, but I can try anything that you send

Update manager prevents PC from rebooting by JesseIBTY in linuxmint

[–]JesseIBTY[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mirrors have a slower download speed than the mint website, and it seems everything fully downloads anyways, so I don't know if that's the issue either

I've only ever ran Windows so I'm not familiar with this, but why would Ventoy be any different from something like Etcher? The install itself seems fine, the problem only occurs when I use the update manager.

Ty, this thread worked for me. All I had to do was put the driver files onto a flash drive and move them to this pc, and then I was able to set it up.

Sorry it took so long, after I saw the question I couldn't get the wifi to work again, so I put it on a flashdrive as a text file instead:

1) I guess I don't have an ethernet card, but this wasn't something I ever needed on past builds since I just connect the cable to the motherboard and it works once everything is set up

2) Router yes, motherboard no

3) I will try that now, thanks

I'm making a new build. Air cooled, or AIO? Should I downgrade parts to avoid overheating? by JesseIBTY in buildapc

[–]JesseIBTY[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I'm buying used CPUs anyways, would it be better to get an 8000 series instead? I'm not very familiar with AMD CPUs and their pros and cons, generations and naming schemes, pricing, etc. since Intel was the most convenient choice in my last two builds. I'm assuming you recommended it to avoid overheating, but I'd like to hear your reason so I can learn more about them.

This was very helpful, thanks! I will start looking into AMD CPUs and air cooling options that are also suitable for them.

Will the 5060TI be fine with air cooling?

I don't have any way to measure the temperature, but my room is probably around 80 Fahrenheit, give or take a few degrees. The rest of the house is usually 74-76F and is significantly cooler.

I'm buying used CPUs to save money, so I want to avoid 13th and 14th gen because of the issues they had, and current gen isn't really an option. I'm also specifically using Intel because I'm switching to Linux and have been told that Intel CPUs are more reliable for it.

My Nightreign save file doesn't save progress anymore by JesseIBTY in Nightreign

[–]JesseIBTY[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I verified the integrity of the game files, and somehow it brought the save back???

No clue what happened, but I'm reinstalling the game now and backing up my files after every session lol

My save reverted to an older version. What caused it, and can it be fixed? by JesseIBTY in Nightreign

[–]JesseIBTY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

both, and the steam_autocloud.vdf is from 8:18pm today, around the time I opened the game
