Install Linux!

erm,it seems logical to me that when you install linux,and then install windows xp or w/e again,the hw ban remains...

Yes, but when you play with Linux. Not with Windows..

yes but by install linux you will not be "unbanned",you misused the term :)
anyways have fun playing on pb :)

so when i installed linux and go play then pb kicked me also?

KizZamP-

22nd January 2006, 16:45

i'll make this simple:
IF you are using windows and are hw banned => you'll get hw ban
IF you install linux you'll be able to play on pb (i have no clue why,but it works)...the downside on linux is that not all hacks and programs on windows work on unix systems...
but you can always download a free machine emulator,which can run windows xp + linux at the same time.

I wouldnt recomend SuSE (although I do like it) or Fedora Core because they use RPM package managment - and that sucks..... I honostly prefer Ubuntu's Debian package management.... also RPM based distros tend to be bloated and run like crap - plus Ubuntu has the best hardware support out of all the distros <--- Trust me, you will not be mad if you go with Ubuntu

Thx for information !
I have googelt a lot, but didnt find a good link for Ubuntu with german language:dead:
If there is one with german-language would u plz give me a direct-link ? sry, but i really searched 10min and found nothing.
but why is SuSE so bad ???

IS there a way to let both operating systems on one computer, and why u boot u can choose ?
the problem would be the drivers, first u had to install the ones for windows, then again for linux, or not ?

yes, linux distributions come with a bootmanager (you can select different kernels or runlevel or also different os on boot time), btw i suggest you to first install windows, let some empty place on your hd and than install linux.

instaling driver for linux isn't realy a job, all drivers are included into the kernel or comes as modules, in rare cases (too new or exotic hardware) you have to search, download and install a driver.

here a linux setup (workstation) needs 25 minutes (inclusive network and hw configuration, btw if you never worked with linux may you need some hours ;-)) under xp i need 40 minutes to search and download latest drivers and have to reboot 7 times + the xp setup time (can't remember, think was 30 min.)

Okay..but when i install drivers for linux while using linux...will be the drivers still installed, when i start my computer then with windows ? or have i to install first again the old drivers to work aagin with windows ?

you boot with linux and make your configuration, your windows installation will be untouched. linux is linux
and windows is windows. if you reboot your computer and select windows from the boot menue it will be in the same configuration with the same drivers as before
(as far it is possible under windows :lick: ) <- big joke :devious:

not all bots but most work on linux too (quick and dirty test result xsquirrel ver. 3.7.4 works 3.8 don't antiaasa works no recoil works perfectbot works kr4zy bot works ...)
it exist a little helper script for loading bots on linux (search for linux loader on this board)

usage of rpm ist the same philosophy that the usage of windows or linux or redhat or debian or an other distribution. you can allways download the source of any prog and compile it for your self or make rpm or deb packages.

and yes, if you use drivers with write access to ntfs (xp partitions) under linux, windows have to replay the journal log of the file system on the next reboot (some kind of checkdisk), there are some other limitations too depends on what methode u use.

unmouning of partitions made on shutdown or reboot automaticaly (unless you messed around with things what you don't understand, or u just switch power off this is what no os like ;-) )

Filb

24th January 2006, 09:01

mmh...
I don't prefer the loader...........

Y can also do the same as y did with the Proccess Killer.exe Tool included in some bots.
Set the owningship of your User.ini to root
Then remove everything you included there for your bot(the autload)
Replace the bot with its original map....
here you go....
but pb detects it..........

not all bots but most work on linux too
all .u bots are working in Linux, if they provided in .u format and not .dll crap.
any .u bot can be hided in file system by changing path in armyops.ini and any .u bot can bypass cvar checks if names of classes chaged accrodingly.
devmode scripts (= changed variables in unreal/aa classes) work staright away;
they are no cvar checks on us army official servers (not leased). cvar checks run on leased servers on peridic basis only, so it is possible for example, switch to perfect accuracy and norecoil variables, fire weapon and then restore variables back.
all .u files are the same format in linux and vindos, so offsets are the same.
md5checks can be bypassed by editing pbcl.so (and I think it could be more possibilities like hack guid, if we de-assemble pbcl and pbsv files).
Thus I run modified maps on official servers (no fog, or no vegetation, or cross-dressed opfor).
mac address changed in one line by standard ifconfig command.
linux does not allow to read hardware serial numbers without permissions;
likely pb use so-called rootkit to hijack admin priviliges like Sony music CDs do;
though it does not work in linux in unlikely event if linux user bought a Sony music CD.
FPS improved by 30-50% compared to vindos - I actually benchmarked it.
what else do you neeed?

1) :/ Yes, you can use AA with Ubuntu
2) Its not hard, first of all it will try to autoconfigure only if that fails you have to configure manually

man, linux is definatly the way yo go so much less of a RAM hog as windows. and it just so happens as i was installing linux on my pc, windows got a really bad virus from a torrent which pretty much killed it so i got lucky there besides loosing all my coding work.
anyways here a little warning as soon as you get AA installed on your linux pc

DO NOT CHANGE OPEN GL TO SOFTWARE MODE INGAME UNDER SETTINGS!!!!!!

it will cause an instant AA crash and it took me about 4 hours of google and forum sniffing to find out how to fix it :o

besides that, game runs beautifuly and im on PB servers like always :cheeky:

doesnt work with all vms though

absolutely not. your best bet is installing and learning linux.
