Trying to play GTA vice city under linux with wine.

First I need to install wine:

[youri@slavluv Downloads]$ sudo pacman -S wine

Now to configure wine and create all the folders, and it also installs gecko packages. In config I added drive D: as /tmp/CD

[youri@slavluv Downloads]$ winecfg

Make the folder in CD in tmp and mount the iso. "-o loop" (modprobe loop if it's not loaded)

[youri@slavluv tmp]$ mkdir CD
[youri@slavluv tmp]$ sudo mount -o loop /home/youri/Downloads/Grand\ Theft\ Auto\ Vice\ City\ -\ PC/GTA_Vice_City.iso CD/

Run the setup:

[youri@slavluv tmp]$ wine CD/setup.exe




Went through install (did not choose to use radio stations)

Using the no-cd crack (I have the cd but not cd-rom drive, so I have to download it, it's not illegal if you have the licensed CD)

[youri@slavluv Grand Theft Auto Vice City - PC]$ cp -f Crack/gta-vc.exe /home/youri/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Rockstar\ Games/Grand\ Theft\ Auto\ Vice\ City/


Now I went to install directory ( /home/youri/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Rockstar Games/Grand Theft Auto Vice City ) and ran wine gta-vc.exe


It messed up my screen/didn't work.

Mounting the play CD the same way I did the install CD loaded the game. All the textures are blocky though. Probably would work fine at this point for someone with a decent video card..

Disabling "Allow pixel shader" in wine settings  fixes the blockiness. Game is still slow though.

lighttpd fastcgi issues

Suddenly "mod_fastcgi" being enabled in "server.modules" for lighttpd is causing problems.

 2011-04-21 19:30:58: (log.c.166) server started
2011-04-21 19:30:58: (mod_fastcgi.c.978) bind failed for: unix:/var/run/lighttpd/php-fastcgi.socket-0 Permission denied
2011-04-21 19:30:58: (mod_fastcgi.c.1399) [ERROR]: spawning fcgi failed.
2011-04-21 19:30:58: (server.c.938) Configuration of plugins failed. Going down.

Fix:

[youri@nemesis run]$ sudo gpasswd -a youri http
Password:
Adding user youri to group http

Or I should maybe make lighttpd run as http user again.

Mapping the cell locations from an iphone db on google maps

IOs stores the GPS locations of towers it connects to in this file:

/var/root/Library/Cache/locationd/consolidated.db

It's an sqlite3 file... So here is a script to pull the longtitude and lattitudes and turn them into a simple KML file.

#/bin/bash

#this is the KML heading
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">
<Document>

  <name>youri</name>'
 
#pull the longitude and latitude from sqlite3
for i in $(sqlite3 consolidated.db 'select longitude,latitude from celllocation';)
do coordinate=$(echo $i | sed 's/|/,/g')



echo '<Placemark><name>'$coordinate'</name><Point><coordinates>'$coordinate',0</coordinates></Point></Placemark>'
done;

echo '</Document></kml>'

I added this to my lighttpd.conf and restarted it.

  ".kml"       =>      "application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml",

Then it's just a matter of passing the kml file to google maps..

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://$yourserver/output.kml

I noticed a bunch of towers I never connected to  (far away places) so there are some problems with this.

Gnome-shell annoying bug.

Accidentally hitting the print screen button (which I do a lot because of this stupid keyboard) I get an annoying popup:

Text was empty (or contained only whitespace)

and in /.xsession-errors

Window manager warning: Error on command 33 "": Text was empty (or contained only whitespace)

Went to system settings - > keyboard -> shortcuts and disabled the printscreen shortcut for now.

Update: removing ~/.gconf and ~/.gnome* fixes this.

Convert mp3 to iphone ringtone.

Convert the mp3 too a wav first.

[youri@nemesis ringtone]$ mplayer -ao pcm Loudest_Ringtone.mp3 -ao pcm:file="ringtone.wav"

Then wav to m4r. M4r is the format iphone wants ringtones in.

[youri@nemesis ringtone]$ faac ringtone.wav -o loudest.m4r -w

Transfer file to iphone. I use sftp.

[youri@nemesis ringtone]$ sftp root@yphone:/Library/Ringtones

root@yphone's password:

Connected to yphone.

Changing to: /Library/Ringtones

sftp> put loudest.m4r

Cydia: Parsing dependency pre-depends

Cydia shows error: parsing dependency pre-depends

SSH'ing and doing apt-get update shows this:

Reading package lists... Error!
E: Problem parsing dependency Pre-Depends
E: Error occurred while processing com.sinfuliphone.adblocker (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/www.sinfuliphonerepo.com_._Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Problem is that Pre-Depends: is empty for some packages.

 Solution until sinful fixes things: 

rm /var/lib/apt/lists/www.sinfuliphonerepo.com_._Packages 

or remove pre-depends from adblocker and tlert in sinfulliphonerepo
