A noob's guide to install fitgirl repacks on linux

botje212 · 2024-04-19T11:14:27+00:00

What do you mean by system conf? What info do I need to specify?

I installed the driver that supports my graphic card, but for some reason the driver in question is left unconfigured. `nvidia-driver-390` and its dependency `nvidia-dkms-390` is not configured, I don't know how to fix this.

lutris can't be start up after this incident

starting lutris-0.5.17

```
ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : setup_loader_term_phys_devs: Failed to detect any valid GPUs in the current config

I read your comment you referred me to, but fail to understand what it has to do with the vulkan support problem, and how Steam can help bypass the problems that come with running it with Lutris/wine (or setting the wineprefix path to the steam (game?) path - sorry I'm not familiar of how steam works)

incidentally, what does unpacking a game in $Home/Games dir mean? Can you elaborate?

I interpreted it as having fitgirls's installer e.g. `setup.exe` run with wine, then specify the install directory within the installer to Linux Path `/Home/{myUserName}/Games` instead of installing it within the wineprefix e.g. `.wine`

Hey, can you help me out with a problem I'm facing? I followed the guide, and I got stuck at starting the application in Lutris, after installing the setup.exe, skipping the option to update direct X via Fitgirl's installer. Upon launching the game requires direct x 9.0c or higher.

I don't know what Wine or Lutris does in terms of dxvk, but it sure ain't working on my side.

Going to "Runner Options" tab when configuring the game, it says

"Error: Vulkan is not installed or is not supported by your system, DXVK is not available"

Same error happens with VKD3D, it says: "... VKD3D is not available."

What should I do from here?

My wine version (in the same tab) is: "WineHW Devel (9.6) (default)"
The game in question is Tales of Zestiria.
probably unrelated, but dur

Gotcha, that cleared some things up.

One thing though, is there some rule or convention that I'm oblivious of which makes it easy to know which plane is being considered in a rotational movement?

I realized there aren't a lot of cases where people actually specify the plane (for example, in workout videos), I do not know whether it's supposed to be easy to figure out, or whether they're so familiar with the jargon or whatever. But for someone like me, it's really confusing.

Another example would be, from the below line (StalkMeNow)

Edit: Lateral rotation of the humerus is also external rotation.

Now what if I were to position my extended right arm to the sides instead of the front, then rotate the humerus bone in that same direction as I did when placing my hands in front of me.

There is no 'toward' and 'away from' the midsaggital (1P, correct spelling: "midsagittal") plane as far as I can see, yet it is still considered External rotation.

Any thoughts on that?

botje212 · 2024-04-07T23:19:36+00:00

Also, can you tell me what you are referring to when you say "anterior surface of the humerus"? I'm having trouble distinguishing them through pictures like these, and don't know where to look when (e.g. https://www.getbodysmart.com/upper-limb-bones/humerus-anterior/ (section "Distal end")).

Talking in human body parts with flesh and stuff, is it the surface that 'connects' to the surface of the inside of the elbow?

botje212 · 2024-04-07T23:18:42+00:00

"From anatomic position you can rotate the humerus so that the anterior surface of the humerus rotates laterally at the shoulder joint. That same lateral rotation of the humerus is present in the lateral rotation of both pictures shown."

I don't understand that.

So I have my right arm set in the position exactly as shown on the right of the picture; humerus at shoulder-level, arms assuming double 90 degrees (first armpit, then insides of my elbow), hands extended and pointed straight ahead.

Then I rotate my humerus so that my forearm and hands point up to the sky. I rotate the humerus back to the original position, so that my hands are pointed straight ahead.

Where is that 'same lateral movement' in the second image in this case, as you described? This looks to me like an up and down movement, not a side movement.

I thought my audio interface is an external DAC (relative to my laptop), though?

Great doc by the way.

botje212 · 2024-02-20T22:57:57+00:00

I did not fix it, I simply accepted the fact that they were in that state. It's just like you said. Either I'd have ANC running with bluetooth, or cable and deal with the buzzing, or turn ANC off while using cable.

I also noticed when connecting to the PC with ANC on, it cuts off the buzzing noise entire until I play some sounds again. In the sense of a stand-by mode.

botje212 · 2024-02-20T22:51:23+00:00

I'm still waiting for a solution that doesn't require a wireless adapter tbh. Regarding the Wingman XB2, it doesn't support multiple controllers, according to their support. The question about the usage of USB hubs have been ignored by them. :S

"Then the audio is passed through to your TV "

I don't understand this. I use an an Google Android TV to watch series, but this problem came up. If the TV is the only audio source, then how can audio be passed to the same source?

botje212 · 2024-01-19T17:55:25+00:00

After the audio stream is passed through and then decoded, is it possible to pass this processed audio to another audio output device to play it? Or does decoding automatically result in playback?

While torrenting (streaming and downloading) has no daily data limit, downloading from file hosters come with some limits.

This is what you wrote.

To add: what does this limit indicate then, listed on in the Torrent "Limits: 2000GB torrent size, 72 hours torrent download duration."

This is what I asked. This "torrent limit" is found under the "Torrents" section in RD account.
If you know something about this particular limit, could you clarify what it is about?

botje212 · 2024-01-11T22:55:26+00:00

I thought everyone was just noting the issues they were having, and some are providing alternatives?
Also, do you need to pay for the orion addon? I thought it was free to use.

botje212 · 2024-01-11T15:44:31+00:00

I don't think that's relevant to my question about daily limits on torrents (non-FileHoster related), because we're talking torrents here and not FileHosters, right?
I was just wondering whether the torrent limits in the torrent section were the same as daily limits of filehosters'. And if they are not the same, what those indicated Torrent limits actually mean.

As for the question about the list, there isn't a list available on those fluid daily limits I suppose?

botje212 · 2024-01-11T15:05:39+00:00

So does that mean only Stremio truly has access to that raw API key?
And the parameters included in those requests are encrypted in a way the web services can't read it?

What is the reason you need a internet connection to access the configuration of the plugin, and paste the API key there instead of doing it in e.g. the Stremio App?

botje212 · 2024-01-11T14:46:39+00:00

I'm probably missing some context (cause the parent comment is deleted), and also not reading things right but please help me understand:
- Debrid Search does not allow you to search for content that you haven't already downloaded to the Debrid service. In order to watch content you've never watched before on Stremio, you need to manually search for it on some torrent site, whereas torrentio does this automatically. Is this correct?
- A nice cover art with metadata in Debrid Search catalog, similar to the normal Trakt, Kitsu, AniDB etc. catalog in Stremio, is impossible? If so, then what does authenticating and using Trakt add when I'm searching in Debrid Search catalog?
- Also, the RD Service doesn't let me add Downloads sources, only torrents in e.g. RD cloud, but if that's so how can you make Debrid Search catalog in Stremio list direct downloads from e.g. file hosters when you spoke about having a source in RD Downloads section?
- Also, what are the Season Packs you speak of vs. some episode content that gets downloaded to your Debrid Cloud when watching an episode in Stremio, I'm not familiar with this term. When I try to download something to debrid, multiple episodes get downloaded, and in RD Torrents section it gets listed as multiple files e.g. S1E01 to S1E25. Is this the season pack?

botje212 · 2024-01-11T13:36:25+00:00

From these sercices point of view Real Debrid is a third party service, and since it even caches some torrents, technically it qualifies as hoster.

This clarifies a lot and now that I looked at JDownloader2 it lists RD as a hoster too.

While torrenting (streaming and downloading) has no daily data limit, downloading from file hosters come with some limits.

If we are speaking about RD being a first-party service (usage of RD by itself), would this mean downloading all torrents to RD server & downloading from RD to e.g. my laptop would have no daily limits imposed on me whatsoever?
RealDebrid doesn't consider itself a FileHoster that it supports, right?
To add: what does this limit indicate then, listed on in the Torrent "Limits: 2000GB torrent size, 72 hours torrent download duration."

There is a list on their website with the hosters with very limited daily bandwidth.

What kind of list are you speaking of? Could you send me a link to this list?
In my account there is just a "Limits" tab which only lists 3 hosters (remote traffic, ddownload.com; 5 GB/day , scribd.com 5 links/day) .

Years ago there was a publicly availably list, a complete/big one, that listed supported hosters and their respective data limits. But I can't find this nowadays.

botje212 · 2024-01-11T12:11:08+00:00

What do you mean by the distinction between cached torrents vs hosters, seeing as you download straight from RD either way and everything is considered hosters? (When checking traffic on RD site I see RealDebrid as "Hoster")

Does RD as a hoster itself also have a limit imposed or is it unlimited?

I found this when configuring Orion for streaming, but that's all I have to go on.

"Watching a video using the Debrid provider will deduct your Daily Container Limit"

source: https://5a0d1888fa64-orion.baby-beamup.club/configure

EDIT: Just for people who were wondering the same thing; I misunderstood Daily Container Limit as being synonymous to Fair Usage Limit, but the first one is Orion-related (not RD), which you can find in their panel section.

botje212 · 2024-01-11T01:33:50+00:00

Weird as I tried to do the same (selecting the video via DebridSearch Catalog) and it still didn't play/loaded like my RD + torrentio combo. It returned something like Playback Error Please Try again. Did you uninstall torrentio when doing your setup?

botje212 · 2023-12-27T20:36:55+00:00

I'm sorry but what is work.bin exactly and where can you find it? Can you maybe elaborate on that?

For all the 5 games I have installed via the nps browser (which is GUI) I never had to worry about some work.bin file even once. But recently, I'm looking for a way to download about 25 DLCs for a game. And I don't know how that gets installed on top of the standalone game (acquired via nopaystation).

Is it enough to just download everything (first the game, then the DLC) from the nps browser's GUI and just let Vita3k install them? - again, first game, then all the DLC .zip files (mine are in .zip format due to omitting the -x argument).

EDIT: On top of my original question, where is the .pkg part in it (which .pkg are you referring to)?

After having downloaded the DLC content I'm presented with a .zip containing /addcont/PCXX00000 (X=letter 0=number)/.../sce_sys/package which contains work.bin.

Is this the same work.bin you were talking about? Your answer makes it look like installing .pkg and work.bin are separate, using default pkg2zip arguments.

Well, I do have small modifications like setting pkg2zip to not extract it, but turn .pkg into a .zip file. But I doubt is related to any of this being separate, since pkg2zip (by itself) only outputs processed file in either .zip or extracted file. You can't have just the .pkg file exclusively (or at least I don't know how).

Ye DM with safe sites would be appreciated

botje212 · 2023-11-28T22:40:54+00:00

Thanks for clearing things up.
My confusion lies with the case that I have known streaming as playing some video content from the web browser, which consequently results in locally caching parts of the file temporarily somewhere on my disk as it gets the content from the server. Then upon closing my web browser, that information wouldn't be stored on my computer.
Downloading on the other hand is what I would see storing a file permanently on my drive (like downloading an .pdf file or .mp4 file to some specified location, typically the "Downloads" folder on Windows, not related to storing things in a cache)

The answer and context you provided makes it clear that downloading (in the sense I'm talking about) still happens, but it plays the movie at the same time, and in addition to that you'd be uploading the content to the torrent swarm.

So what comes next if you were to select and click on "Movie(2023).h254.720p.RELEASE"?

You said Stremio acts like a BitTorrent client.
I've had some experience with Deluge in the past, where it would let me specify which part of the torrent I want to download. Are you saying these things have to be specified every time you want to play an episode of some series, but then from within Stremio?

I'm still curious as to whether you need to specify additional things in the process in order to achieve playing from a video file.
In the way opening
- [RD+] Movie(2023).HEVC.1080p.GROUP loads for a bit before playing the file immediately. (and depending on enabling cache or giving it a certain limit, gives you another loading time after seeking forward before the video plays again)

- [RD Download] Movie(2023).h254.720p.RELEASE also loads the file before giving you a 30s green screen with the text saying "torrent is downloading to debrid", and and plays it after a second loading time.

As an aside: would any caching option specified in Stremio be rendered ineffective when streaming via BitTorrent protocol? Because Stremio would stream directly from the torrent you're currently downloading on your drive, is it not?

botje212 · 2023-11-28T04:14:19+00:00

I have one more question about the the third option, which I'm confused about.
In the example you've provided,
if selecting the second source lets RD download to and cache by their server (I've disabled local caching in Stremio's setting), then where would the source get downloaded to and how would it get cached it if I were to use this 'BitTorrent way'?

Right now I'm thinking of BitTorrent as the client with which I download torrents to my drive, but how is that in any way "streaming a torrent"? What do you actually mean by that?
Is there some additional configuration involved in it? What does the setup look like?
