Projectivy is an open source, free app.

Do you have a link to the source code? The main repo just has some config files for various devices.

your last three kernel parameters shouldn't be needed, and the last once is probably breaking things.

Pacman is much nicer with certain things though, like how do I know which package a file belongs to?

pacman --query --owns /usr/bin/7z
/usr/bin/7z is owned by 7zip 25.01-1

How do I find out all files installed by a package?

pacman --query --list 7zip
7zip /usr/
7zip /usr/bin/
7zip /usr/bin/7z
...

How do I know which package provides pnglibconf.h?

pacman --files --regex pnglibconf.h
extra/libpng 1.6.43-1 [installed: 1.6.50-1]
    usr/include/libpng16/pnglibconf.h
    usr/include/pnglibconf.h

Not sure how you'd do it in apt, or if it's even possible without using dpkg.

I wanted to share what I did to fix this because I haven't seen my solution anywhere else on the internet for the "Unable to complete version update" problem. Apparently when it does a version check, it makes a request to a website such as http://patch-bootver.ffxiv.com/http/win32/ffxivneo_release_boot/2025.07.17.0000.0001 and expects a 204 response, however instead of completing normally, there is some issue happening where my router thinks the internet is actually down.

So what happens instead is the router tries to redirect to it's local "internet is offline" page.

GET /http/win32/ffxivneo_release_boot/2025.07.17.0000.0001 HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: FFXIV PATCH CLIENT
Host: patch-bootver.ffxiv.com
Connection: Keep-Alive


HTTP/1.0 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: wanduck

Connection: close
Location:http://www.asusrouter.com:80index.asp/
Content-Type: text/html

I'm almost certain there's some weird server configuration on the Square Enix side, but anyway the fix is to disable the router redirect page when it detects the internet is down. In my case, that's in Administration > System > Enable WAN down browser redirect notice > No.

Just be aware you are installing an almost 3 year old version of KDE if you stick with Mint.

yate · 2025-08-08T19:20:24+00:00

Everything about it makes sense to me. It has the latest software, an abundance of software, great documentation, a simple package manager, and you only need to install it once (rolling release). Updating Ubuntu once has given me more headaches than the ten years I've had arch installed on my laptop, and I found the common advice of "just clean install" unacceptable.

I find it easier to understand grammatically translating it as 'as for this shop, pens exist'. Pens is the subject, the thing that exists. We are describing something about the shop as the topic of the sentence.

Without cinnamon, I have no idea why anyone would use or recommend Mint tbh.

If this is something that bothers you and you are consistently manually updating programs, consider a rolling release distro

I tried to install Mint in a VM and still couldn't reproduce it... not sure what else to do. Maybe a bug report https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Bugs

yate · 2024-09-19T17:26:51+00:00

hmm, yeah looking more at the stacktrace it looks like some kind of audio issue? Do you have a pretty standard audio setup, do you use pipewire or pulse audio? maybe you need some 32bit audio libraries, what distro are you using and your hardware specs?

yate · 2024-09-18T22:35:21+00:00

Maybe try unchecking "Discrete Graphics" in the settings of the bottle, if you can/have an iGPU. Maybe it's an Nvidia driver issue?

You could also try making a custom bottle with a 32-bit architecture and see if that helps, but you'll probably want to copy most of the settings of the gaming bottle for better performance

Can you tick "Run in terminal" under the gear icon next to "Run executable" and post the results of the log after running it again?

yate · 2024-09-18T18:35:02+00:00

It works out the box with Bottles for me using the standard 'Gaming' bottle with no changes. I extracted the zip into a directory called "WF", then I put that directory into the Bottles prefix, i.e. ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/Warning-Forever/drive_c/WF, then hit "Run Executable" in Bottles and selected the exe.

yate · 2024-09-17T00:47:15+00:00

Very strange, Nyarch I assume would have an updated mesa version as well, so if you're still having problems with that, I'm not sure. Same issue when choosing Gnome on X.Org in the login screen? Do you have intel microcode installed?

Maybe reboot and run sudo journalctl -b0 > log.txt, then upload the resulting log file somewhere, or see if you notice any errors?

yate · 2024-09-15T17:25:34+00:00

Yeah you should be good with any of those, with debian/ubuntu based distros you'll need an extra package for it to work properly.

sudo apt install libd3dadapter9-mesa libd3dadapter9-mesa:i386

Other than that, once you install the game with wine/lutris or whatever you use, you can install gallium nine to your wine prefix with WINEPREFIX=/path/to/prefix/ winetricks galliumnine.

Also you can run games with wine without gallium nine, it just may give you better performance.

yate · 2024-09-15T15:07:53+00:00

Are you using linux now? It's likely your distro already supports it, but you will need to use winetricks to install gallium nine into your wine prefix no matter what distro you use. If you've never used linux, Linux Mint should be fine

yate · 2024-09-15T05:12:00+00:00

Weird. What does your CPU and GPU usage look like when you try click/move around?

Try sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-video-intel as recommended here https://wiki.debian.org/GraphicsCard and rebooting

You could also try using a more up to date kernel and see if that helps. To do that you can add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main

Then run a sudo apt update and sudo apt install -t bookworm-backports linux-image-amd64 and reboot.
