Could someone tell me why -interline is required to run Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee? How does one turn off -vstretch?

I upgraded my machine from Ubuntu Hardy to Intrepid and now I get stuttering audio. I'm running the closed-source nvidea driver and a realtime kernel, like before the upgrade.

Hi All, Is there a ubuntu repository managed by puppetlabs? I am using lucid and latest puppet package it offers is 0.25.4. I could of course just download source, or a deb from debian or newer ubuntu, or get it using gem. But would be nice if there is a PPA available for lucid, cuz it would work nicely with routine upgrade. puppetdashboard worked nicely with the puppet labs ppa deb

This is a post I just added to my Ubuntu R Blog (http://www.personal.psu.edu/mar36/blogs/the_ubuntu_r_blog/2013/03/moving-to-r-300-on-ubuntu.html). As you may (or may not) be aware of, R 3.0.0 is [scheduled to be released](http://www.r-project.org/) on April 3rd. Since this is a major release and there may be some growing pains (but I hope not) in the move 3.0.0, here is some information

The Xapian 1.2.5 packages are now in Debian unstable, and I will upload backports for Debian 6.0 (squeeze) once they've all migrated to testing, which should happen in a few days time: http://backports.debian.org/ I've uploaded backported packages of 1.2.5 for hardy, karmic, lucid, maverick and natty, except for xapian-bindings which failed to build on hardy:

I have added a new series of Wine 1.3 packages to the Wine PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa These are for 10.04 (Lucid) only and must be explicitly installed: sudo apt-get install wine1.3 Users who simply install the wine or wine1.2 packages (as in, all existing users) will instead get the stable Wine 1.2 release, which is still packaged there. Thanks, Scott Ritchie

Today (May 4, 2013) I will begin the process of backporting R 3.0.0 to Quantal, Precise, and Lucid. This will include all the recommended packages and the packages for R found in the universe repository for Ubuntu. Things to keep in mind: - If you do not want to receive these upgrades and you use the CRAN repositories or my Launchpad PPA, please remove them from your apt/synaptic sources lists.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Gnome desktop. Synaptic is giving me the following message: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_ubuntu-wine_ppa_ubuntu_dists_lucid_main_binary-i386_Packages) Which repository should I be using?

New .deb packages for R 3.0.0 on Raring Ringtail (13.04) are available on both [CRAN](http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/) and my [Launchpad PPA](https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter). Some notes for this release. - The initial build for Raring Ringtail did not come with Tcl/Tk being supported. This issue has been addressed and the current release supports Tcl/Tk. -

Hi, some time ago i've installed WoW in Ubuntu 9.10 using wine 1.1.42 (wine1.2 ubuntu package). Everything fine, had a few fps problems but with some tips found in wowwiki i've manage to increase fps to about 20. Some users would say it's still low, but i was happy with it. Well, some weeks ago i've updated to Ubuntu lucid (10.04). It's great, but my WoW fps drop down to about

I have just upgraded Ubuntu to 10.04 and I went to update the Wine repository to match.

I'm on Ubuntu Lucid with the Wine PPA in my repos, and wine --version still gives "wine-1.2", not 1.3.0 and on. What's the magic incantation to get the dev releases? - d.

I've downloaded Wine 1.1.7 and unzipped it onto my desktop. I've printed out the readme file and have followed the quick start by running ./tools/wineinstall (I'm doing all this by mouseclicks - no terminal). A dialog box flashes and then nothing happens. I can't stop this dialog box long enough to see if there is an error msg, so I don't know what is happening, except I

When I login through imap, I can see everything in ~/mail/ just fine. I cannot save to any of them. If I have an autocreate-autosubscribe folder (ZZZ here), it shows up as empty (correct).
