Windows 10 upgrade for all you dual booters

Posted 08-16-2015 at 01:44 AM by WestCoastSunset

Avoid windows 10 like the plague. I did an upgrade instead of a clean install. Jedi knight doesn't work at all (I really like DF2), Oblivion IV is actually slower, and my sound doesn't work.

t410
i5 2.53 ghz
8 gigs ram
nvs 3100m

These are actually pretty decent specs. I could see Oblivion not working, but Jedi?

Fortunately I have a disk image. It will be restored tonight.

I've started to make and upload backported packages of wine-development for Debian Jessie.

This is what I did for the first set, wine-development and khronos-api, a build-dependency of wine that is not in Jessie.
You'll still miss a lot relevant stuff, read the official page first.

EDIT 2015-08-29:
- Updated for my second upload to mentors.debian.org.
- Subscribe to packages.
EDIT 2015-11-02:
- Use apt-get source with option --download-only...

Debian live nonfree boots to console login? Why?!

Posted 08-14-2015 at 04:02 PM by WestCoastSunset

Can anyone tell me when booting to the nonfree kde version of Debian live 8.1 it boots to a console login, yet when using the the second option (failsafe, I believe it is called), I can boot into xwindows? This is why I find linux very frustrating.

unetbootin is the worst!

Can someone please tell my why unetbootin does not work right when using linux? I can only get bootable usb devices created properly when I used the Windows version in Windows. Even then, when I tried creating a bootable usb with the latest Debian live 8.1, it will not run the live gui, only the graphical install. I've tried out a couple other usb creation programs (win32 disk imager, and rufus), Rufus seems to work better, but they both give me errors during creation. But the live filesystems do...
