I thought this would be of interest to LLVM developers: The Fortress project, which was an attempt to create a very advanced language with implicit parallelism, parametric polymorphic types and many other cutting edge language features, has announced that they are winding down the project. What I found very interesting was that one of the reasons they gave was the lack of a suitable execution

[As posted as Ubuntu Question #184284 on Launchpad] Hi, I try to set up nut (2.4.3) on my Lucid (10.04.3 LTS) to make use of my old but very trusty UPS (Best Power Fortress 660 LI). Yes, this UPS is old (about 16 years), but with its third battery pack last week it is as good as new. It runs perfectly well with Windows XP, Vista and even Windows 7. But not so with Ubuntu and nut. After

One sort of questions why a company the size of Oracle, working with DARPA funding, wouldn't have the resources to design the virtual machine they required for the project... although reading the article they never do *quite* say that Fortress is being put down... just that the research group is winding down on it, the JVM target work isn't going to be completed, and the current

I've been using JackWASIO and 10.5 Leopard fine, but since I switched to Snow Leo 10.6 I can't find a way to use wineasio low latency driver at all. Have tried to install some version of Wine (that comes with WineBottler) and a new CrossOver Games 8.0 but no luck: wineasio doesn't appear in the Audio preferences of winecfg. Is there a clear way (for someone who aren't in developing

I can install other hl2 mods and they show up in my games list and run fine, however whenever I install fortress forever it doesn't show up. I've even tried the shortcut that installs from the setup. But when I run that it just says loading source sdk base and nothing happens. There is no useful terminal output either. This is on wine 1.1.19. Help would be very much appreciated.

Hello, I'm trying to run Team Fortress 2 on Linux using Wine 1.0. I tried starting the game from Steam, but it shows the loading TF2 window, then closes and never starts the game. I know the game isn't supposed to run on Linux, but I have a question about gameinfo.txt. I tried starting hl2.exe in: /.wine/drive_c/Program Files/steam/steamapps\*user*\team fortress 2 folder, but it said I

Lots of 3D games such as Team Fortress 2, Audiosurf or Stalker have very low performance in comparison to running on the same computer on Windows. What can I do to improve it? What developers have still to implement to fully support 3D rendering?

Hey guys. I'm very new to Wine. Very. I've pretty much just installed it. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and upon seeing many videos on Youtube such as "Team Fortress 2 On Wine!", seeing it run flawlessly, and I thought I'd give it a go. Now, I'm using the Dell Studio 1555, which has pretty awful graphics. It is a laptop after all. I managed however, with a few mods I could

Hi. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and wine 0.9.60. I have got loads of steam apps to run including team fortress 2. However, when I join a game in Counter Strike: Source, as soon as I get to the team select, it freezes up, with the gunshot sounds repeating. It then simply closes. I looked on appdb and the main causes are alsa sound, and to make sure only alsa sound is selected in winecfg. I also

Okay, so awhile back I had a problem with Steam. It wouldn't start and so I fixed that after installing a minimal version of winetricks (I removed a few things I knew I wouldn't need). Then Steam worked. Unfortunately I then had a problem with Team Fortress 2. This time the game wouldn't load. So I read the AppDB for Team Fortress 2 again and it said to disable Steam Community

I don't know if you guys know this but, the site http://wine.budgetdedicated.com is down for some reason. Now no one can access the Ubuntu deb archives or Scott Ritchie's key which I kinda need. Thought I'd let someone know.

I could not make the bestfortress driver 0.02 work for my Best Fortress LI675VA, so I have made a patch for the driver. The reason was, that all responses are preceded and terminated by CR LF, but the driver would discard everything after the first CR LF. The following patch discards everything up to the first LF. It also adds a debugging feature of displaying the accepted data (level 5 i.e. -D

Hello there, After downloading the latest version of wine, latest graphics drivers and install Steam through PlayOnLinux, I tried to launch Team Fortress 2. The initial Valve sound played and then the menu soud, but there was absolutely no video/display. Checking the processes list, hl2.exe was still running, so obviously something is going wrong here.
