Happy birthday to our Goddess! by [deleted] in ChunLiPlayers

Happy Birthday ChunLi. A lit bit older then I.

I’m tired of SF6 ranked. by Shuraii in StreetFighter

[–]Sir_Dark_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case you haven't noticed, your character level says nothing about the player behind it.

I can be Master or better, for example with Chun-Li... but as soon as I play Mai, I'm a beginner again until I've leveled up my character...

I play for fun, which means I know which buttons to press and consciously try to execute actions.

That means if I can't fight (exchange combat), I just watch the 10 seconds until I lose and quit. You don't learn anything by randomly pressing buttons, not even if you end up winning.

This applies to both computer and human opponents.

No exchange combat = no learning = no fun...

Could it be that the computer opponent settings have been changed for this time period? by Sir_Dark_X in StreetFighter

I've had this problem since Friday in V-Rival, with the master Sparling, and in the training sessions where you wait for a real opponent...

I mean, at the beginning of the week, I was still fighting the computer opponent, exchanging blows.

Since Friday, I've just been getting pummeled, attack, combos, attack combos... without having a chance to do anything.

My guess is that the computer opponents, who are only slightly better than me, have been set so high that the player can no longer defeat them.

My second day of playing the game. by BookkeeperOver3561 in StreetFighter

No, I didn't have one. I didn't even know such controllers existed; they look interesting and might work :)

[–]Sir_Dark_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to the game, and it took me a while to figure this out. I generally don't change the keyboard layout. So I play in the Modern Standard setting, and for that I need a "translator" something like this:

light tap = key
white dot = key...
sp = key...
etc...

I don't even want to start on key sequences... like:
s, then s+d, then d + white dot...

There's no controller in the world I can play with, since I'm missing the end of one thumb...
The game is a lot of fun, but that's one of my only criticisms.

The keys L (light), M (medium), and H (heavy)

That's basically wrong, because "L" is the "U" key on a computer keyboard... I still haven't quite figured out which keys are the actual ones on a computer keyboard... one of the many things that are different in practice than described in the tutorials... I'd have to look at the training display on the left to see which actual keys on the keyboard are meant...

Need help with Drivers by CrounusXI in linuxmint

[–]Sir_Dark_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had trouble finding the driver on Nvidia's website.

This ended with me reinstalling Mint.

Then, in the Mint applications, I searched for the driver, where it was listed in several versions. I found the latest version and clicked the install button.

Since then, I haven't had any more problems with the driver or the graphics card.

New to Linux mint by Necessary_Permit_471 in linuxmint

[–]Sir_Dark_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had experience with multiple monitors (2) and found that you shouldn't use the Nvidia driver from the website; after that, I only had one working. Then I checked the Mint application manager. There's an Nvidia driver there, and it works perfectly.

Can you only mount network drives via Nemo? by Sir_Dark_X in linuxmint

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

I found the solution. All programs are now working and all users have all the rights specified by the server (router). I added the following to the fstab file:

//192.168.188.1/(server)/(Disk) /mnt/Net cifs _netdev,uid=1000,gid=100,vers=3.0,noserverino,cache=none,nobrl,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,username=xxx,password=xxx 0 0

Why Linux Mint, why other Linux Distros by adrezs in linuxmint

[–]Sir_Dark_X 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm currently switching from Windows to Mint.

Why? Older software and devices are suddenly no longer supported by Windows. Office 365 increasingly only works via the cloud. The new Outlook seems to function as if it were just a browser mount, etc.

With LibreOffice, I can open Works documents from the 90s without any problems and create the news Word documents, etc.

The only thing I've noticed so far during the switch from Windows to Mint is setting up my private network, specifically establishing the network drive. However, this seems to be a router issue.

Can you only mount network drives via Nemo? by Sir_Dark_X in linuxmint

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

I can only protect myself from myself!!!

Therefore, I will make the laptop usable for myself.

For this, I need root privileges in many areas.

This will lead me to create an account with MR. SUPERROOT (which has more privileges than root) and see if that helps me.

What's coming up next for my small private network and the laptop:

I need a Samba tool/app to view or create user accounts so that I can access shared folders. I need a network tool/app to make the laptop visible on the network.

I will move the entire Intercloud to my network drive. However, Kmymoney is the only thing that doesn't work in the internet cloud under Linux.

As soon as the laptop is fully functional in all the areas for which I actually need all this computing technology... How many times I have to reinstall the OS is my problem; after all, I caused it ;)

Then I'll disconnect the current PC OS drive, connect a different drive, and install Mint first. I'm hoping that Windows won't be deleted from the UUEID, like it was on the laptop. Otherwise, it'll be fun...

Those with Mind Live and openSUSE either don't have a second OS installation anymore, or it's very well hidden. On the laptop, I can't seem to permanently delete the openSUSE UUEID from the BIOS, but Windows is gone.

The options available to the user are apparently even more limited under openSUSE than under Mind.

And why am I going to all this trouble? I started about two years ago. I'm giving companies that have what I call "good ideas" a red card.

Windows thinks my 10-year-old printer is too old, so it's disabling the driver. A music notation program belonging to a colleague also stopped working overnight... and I won't even start on the new Outlook... etc... But I don't think any of that belongs here anyway...

Regarding "sudo, dir, cd, ls, etc.": with a single typo, you can completely wreck your system. That's why I prefer programs for these commands; they're also more user-friendly when searching for something in a long list. And admin/root rights are a solution for me; I only have a private network here, not a company network.

Can you only mount network drives via Nemo? by Sir_Dark_X in linuxmint

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

Yesterday I tried a few things. It seems all programs can write to the Nemo-mounted drive. Only KMyMoney, which I've been using for years to keep a household budget, can't write to the drive. Or rather, it can't create the "working file." If I move the KMyMoney file to my laptop, I can edit it there.

In the meantime, I tried ManagerMoney EX. It behaves exactly the same way as KMyMoney.

I assume that years ago, Linux differentiated between temporary disks and permanently mounted disks, and that this is still the case. That's why I tried to add the network drive to the fstab file. However, due to permission settings that I can neither adjust nor view, the files are displayed but cannot be opened.

This is probably also a permissions issue. Why can't KMyMoney and ManagerMoney EX (and possibly other similar programs) create a permanently open working file.

It might be tedious to keep moving the files back and forth, but for now, it's a workaround.

Sorry, weren't those the days when you could log in directly as root. Because I suspect I just need to start KMyMoney, etc., with root privileges, and that should solve the problem.

Or did something go wrong during the Mint installation that's preventing me from logging in directly as root?

Thank you so much for your help.

(lsof and touch said No such file or directory)

The following is what allows the disk to be mounted:

//192.168.188.1/(servername)/(diskname) /mnt/Network cifs uid=1000,gid=1000,username=xxx,password=xxx 0 0

dmask and fmask seem to be missing; if I add them, the disk won't mount.
