However I am facing a problem with the game Age of Empires from Microsoft. It is not possible to play the game in the MSNzone from a PC behind the firewall. When I connect the PC (windows XP) directly to the cable connection, everything is working. I am for

Hi. I've been trying to make AoE (I or II) work on Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04, with Wine 1.1.37 (more recent versions don't start Civ4, and I prefer to play Civ4 than AoE ;-) The installation works fine, but the game crashes with the famous "We are sorry" window.

I have the retail Age of Empires and the Conquerors expansion. I had no problem installing it. I had a problem getting it to run, because it kept asking for the cd, when the disk was already in the drive. Thanks to a search here, I discovered that I needed to go into wine cfg, and add the cd drive. I did that. Success. I got the game to start up. But... When I try to play a single player

Hi there, I'm running Wine 1.3.28 on Ubuntu Oneiric and I cannot manage to get aok installed. The installation routinely freezes immediately after the program starts to copy the first file, the message that pops up says there isn't enough space on disk (clearly a false statement) or that the folder is being used by some other program (which one?).

hey all, i got age of empires 2 running fairly well in linux using the latest cvs of winex. it's fully playable (a tad slow in some areas, but fully playable nonetheless), with minor graphic glitches. the fonts are driving me crazy though, they are drawn in black, and would be much easier to read if they were white. is there any way to force wine to use a certain font color? i know you

Hello! For the past couple of days I have been trying to install AOE3 on My Debian Etch Machine. When no actual setup process is required or "installation defacto " Wine functions flawlessly.

What should I begin to troubleshoot? Thanks in advance.

Went thru that exercise

Hello, I have encountered a crash in dom0 kernel while booting a domU from an AOE device. I haven''t seen such crashes when booting from local partitions/ LVM volumes/ loopback file systems.

Greetings, Xen developers! I have been using AoE with Xen to great effect and I am very pleased with how the whole system has worked out. The two technologies really complement each other. I consider it the ultimate setup. Aside from the network switch (eventually to be remedied) my serving infrastructure has zero single points of failure. However, this virtualization paradise has a flaw:

Hi We use AoE disks for some of our systems. Currently, a 15.65Tb filesystem we have is full, I then extended the LVM by a further 4Tb but resize4fs could not handle a filesystem over 16Tb (CentOS 5.5). I then reduced the lvm by the same amount, and attempted to create a new LV, but get this error message in the process lvcreate -v -ndata2 -L2T -t aoe Test mode: Metadata will NOT be updated.
