So I got linux

[Super]

I formatted my 2nd hdd with ubuntu 6.06 LTS and got it running and everything. I guess now I need to start loading drivers onto it. The first driver I want to load is for my wi-fi card (so then I can just dl the other drivers from the net). The problem is that the card I have doesn't support linux.

Here's the driver site: http://www.edimax.us/

I have the EW-7128g.

Can anyone help me out with what I have to do, because this is the first time I've ever even used linux.

There's a tool called NDISwrapper that might work for you. Ubunto probably has it preinstalled. What you do is take the .inf file for the card from your Windows partition and link it to the program somehow. It's been awhile since I've used it though, but it worked for me.

Oh nvm, I just read through some linux support site and it said that every version of ubuntu higher than 5 has drivers that support my wifi card's chipset built in. I'm making this post from linux right now, so hooray.

Keep this thread open just incase I have any other problems (which I most likely will)

So the max resolution I can set right now is 1024x768

I'm guessing that's cuz I haven't installed the drivers for my 7600gt yet?
I downloaded them from the nvidia website for x86 linux, but when I try to run the file I get this error "gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.
Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
Select a character coding from the menu and try again."

What do I do?

To change your resolution you have to set it in the xorg.conf.

So I got wine and I'm in the terminal trying to switch into the directory that I have starcraft installed (which is in window's program files).

I type in "cd /media/disk/Program Files/Starcraft/" in the terminal, but when it can't access the program files folder. It says it doesnt exist. I tried putting an underscore to make Program Files one word, but no go.

Anyone know what I can do?

[homebrew89]

I have a couple questions. Is that for sure the location of your Starcraft directory? If it is, then the command you want to enter should look like:

cd /media/disk/Program\ Files/Starcraft/

Notice the backslash before the space.

Are you unsure where Starcraft is installed? On my distro, Wine's Drive C directory is under my home directory. To navigate to the Starcraft folder I enter:

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Pr*/St*

The asterisks are "complete the phrase" wildcards. I use them a lot since I don't feel like typing paths completely.

Well starcraft is installed on the hard drive that windows is. Ubuntu is installed on a seperate hard drive. I'm really not sure how that works out in wine since I've never used it before.

[homebrew89]

Since Windows is on a separate hard drive you may have to mount it before you can run Starcraft off of it. Since I don't know the drive's device name, I can't give you an exact command to enter. It should look something like this, though:

mount /dev/hd???

With the ???'s meaning whatever the device name is. If you are unsure what the device name is, you may have to just mess around until you find it. When you're done, be sure to unmount:

umount /dev/hd???

Again, the ???'s meaning whatever the device name is. And of course all of this mounting and unmounting must be done as root.

its just called "disk" under "my computer"

and I think I already mounted it since I can view the files in it.
