More tools for Wine management

14Oct09

Okay, this is actually fairly exciting… I’ve packaged and uploaded nautilus-wine and wine-preferences to my PPA, so now you can install both the Nautilus Wine properties page I showed two posts ago, and my fancy “new” (it’s been in ubuntu-wine’s bzr forever) graphical configuration tool for Wine directly from your package manager (if you’re running [...]

Launchpad and PPA – here we go!

13Oct09

So, after having build a debian package of python-wine, I thought it would be an easy thing to set up a PPA and start actually distributing my work on the Wine/Gnome integration… Well, turns out it was a bit trickier than I thought and I consequently had to rebuild the python-wine package from scratch, but [...]

Wine integration in Nautilus

13Oct09

As very few people apart from Scott Ritchie probably know, I’ve been working on integrating Wine more closely with Gnome for a few months now, and though I’ve had a break from the development for some time, I managed to finally create a little more for the project today.
More specifically, I made the first version [...]

Linux Mint – Wow!

18Sep08

After having my partitions mangled once again, again, again by Windows, I decided I had to clean up my Linux – and by clean up, I mean reinstall, though I still use the same config files for my program – I love how you can do that in Linux.
But anyway, instead of reinstalling Ubuntu Hardy, [...]

The future of Ubuntu and the desktop internet

16Sep08

I’ve just read Mark Shuttleworths post to the Ubuntu Development mailing-list and I must say it got me a bit excited.
In his post he mentions that the focus of the next release of Ubuntu, the one after Intreprid Ibex, namely 9.04 “Jaunty Jackalope” will, amongst other things, focus on “the blurring of web services and [...]

Just a quick memo on how to make mplayer the default videoplayer in Linux:

More about EVE (in Wine)

19Dec07

Okay, annoyed with the choppiness of EVE in Cedega (the official “client” on Linux) I set out to get EVE running in Wine.
The instructions for setting it up are on the EVE forum, but the thread is 60 pages long, so I’ve added it as steps here instead (for Debianish systems (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, etc)).
Since [...]

EVE Icons

14Dec07

Well, turns out I’m not really a fan of the Windows icons for EVE either, so I set about finding a replacement icon, and what’d’you’know – there aren’t really any (please correct me, and direct me, if I’m wrong).
So I made my own.
I made two simple versions of the Trinity logo, and I encourage anyone [...]

EVE Online Trinity – in Linux

14Dec07

I’ve just begun my venture into the world of EVE Online and find it quite intriguing. However, since the “port” to Linux was poorly done by Transgaming I was having quite some problems with parts of the game, namely it’s locking of the soundcard and it’s often crashing.
Here is a (rather hold-in-hand style, sorry to [...]
