Upgraded my Sky+ HD boxes HDD to 500GB today, Obtained a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 from a friend for the job, Installation went well and the drive works nicely and the EPG seems less sluggish than with the stock Maxtor. All in all a worthwhile upgrade methinks especially as it is silent (Thus far atleast) Well I think I’m not the first person to notice that PulseAudio causes problems with sound in wine and its a very annoying situation, so i decided to make Debs for winepulse.drv and openal32.dll ill be uploading them to launchpad in the ppa soon as I’ve finished testing them. Versions for all currently supported releases of Ubuntu will be forthcoming for wine-1.0.1 and wine-1.1.36 initially, and ill be making ones for older versions of wine available from the website soon I’ve started the process of building debian packages, in the end I decided to build a combined deb with all my hacks in it due to the fact that each can be enabled/disabled on a per hack basis Current packages are available from https://launchpad.net/~jriwanek/+archive/ppa The initial build contains only the DIB engine – ill be adding the ddraw hack and others over the next few days after I’ve cleaned up my builds I will also be continuing the production of standard tars containing just the patches and binary changes Enjoy All Well I’ve started the move of the servers from St Louis, Missouri (Slicehost STL-B )to San Antonio, Texas (Rackspace DFW1) due to a hunch that VPS’s hosted at DFW1 ran on better hardware. The hunch was right: the previous CPU was a Dual-Core AMD Opteron 2212 the new one is a Quad-Core AMD Opteron 2350 HE (roughly the same speed but far more power efficient). It would be nice to have one of the newer 237x series Opterons but hey beggars cant be choosers hehe in other news no i havnt forgotten about wine and yes patches will be coming soon for ddraw/dibeng and others real life has been hectic and i appoligise for the delays until next time well in probably the weirdest news i can imagine i would ever post, im currently staying opposite a crime scene for background: http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/BREAKING-NEWS-Mystery-Leeds-bones.5582663.jp Anyway – woke up this morning and saw a couple of police officers and chavs outside and some dumped rubbish – now at the time i figured ribs or chicken bones or somesuch (only saw them out of the corner of my eye) so imagine my surprise when i go out to the shop and theres a cordon around the area spoke to one of the officers overlooking the scene and as it said in the article they had found bones hopefully it was animal bones not human – damn these times Well another month another batch of releases – This time its for the Dib Engine for wine 1.1.25 and 1.1.26 and ddraw for wine 1.1.25 & 1.1.26 ill be making Ubuntu Debs later on today/tomorrow Enjoy guys Well despite the rediculous amount of time its been im finally back and with me ive brought updates for the whole kaboodle – ddraw, user32, mshtml, wa_fixes and a brand new one – the Infamous Dib Engine Step Right up Folks and try it out – while your at it go to bug 421 and give massimo some love he’s put a lot of time into it leave a comment if you have a request for binaries for anything else wine related – please dont ask for source fixes i dont have the time to investigate – if you have a patch to fix a bug link me to it and ill build it and upload it patches for 1.1.25 due at the end of the month as im away till then Right, well I’ll get right to the point: I’m moving house on May the 11th so its absolutely hectic here atm this means the patches for 1.1.20 and 1.1.21 (when its released) will be delayed if anyone wants to build them for me then it would help out all involved – leave a comment if your interested in helping Word of warning tho – I’ve been lazy setting up WordPress so emailing account passwords for the Blog wont work, so leave a comment anonymously if you do :-p Guess what guys? yes ,your right: I actually posted one just after the official wine release for a change Happy Easter to those of you that are Christians Finally got round to looking over Snowflake (My cute little EeePC 900 Go), its working fine but Doesn’t want to display anything on its own screen, Didn’t have the time to crack it open and poke about so I’ve plugged it into a spare monitor for now, *mental note*: must convert it to windows over the weekend also igot my hands on an acer 9300 series laptop today thanks to a friend. Its a beauty but the LCD is cracked – took me 20 mins to detach the LCD from the lid but it works fine nonetheless, probably gonna turn it into a media server for MythTV and other goodness |
