[SOLVED] video games

Actually I dual boot but I'm having problems getting my realtek wireless working in debian. You've given me a lot of good suggestions. I'll give them a try.

thanks to all of you.

You should find a number of games in the Debian repos (per your user agent icon).

Good luck.

Mystified, I'm sorry to hear about your disability.

What frankbell suggests absolutely makes sense, and is unsurprising.

As far as your Realtek on Debian, add non-free to the end of the repository line in /etc/apt/sources.list, for example on my PC (your release is going to be jessie or wheezy, whichever you have installed):

Code:

deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian sid main contrib non-free

and install the firmware-realtek package.

thanks but the driver is installed but not recognized I will try again. I was checking out the free games and found 2048. I'm hooked but I'll try a lot of other games to see what else I like. I don't consider my problems to be handicaps Just challenges. As they say one day at a time.

Yes. For the games I mentioned and assuming you're still using Kubuntu, simply open up the package manager this distribution uses, "Muon Discover," I think, look up the title names and install them from there.

Do you know which package it is in debian?
