I really want to get this to work! I tried to install The Hell 2 myself in Lutris and I see a result similar to yours: I can hear music and see a blank screen and a crash follows soon after. Different Wine versions & settings seem to make little/no difference.
I closed Lutris and reran from the terminal with lutris &. From there I could see that when I run The Hell 2 I was getting the following error:
ERROR: ld.so: object ‘libgamemodeauto.so.0’ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored
Internet searching for that error lead me to people with similar issues: unable to start games with this error appearing in the background. I found multiple pages which suggested that the reason for the error is that the game requires a 32-bit version of libgamemodeauto.so.0, and that doesn’t come preinstalled on some distros. There are instructions explaining how to uninstall/reinstall to get the 32-bit version. I’ve followed those instructions and when I run The Hell 2 I no longer get the libgamemodeauto.so.0 error but I still see the blank screen + music followed by a crash.
I’ll keep thinking about this. In the meantime you can check whether you have the 32-bit version of libgamemodeauto.so.0 by running ls /usr/lib/*/libgamemodeauto.so.0. If you see an entry mentioning i386 then you’ve got them - otherwise not.
Kevin came later than Aunt Sheryl and her husband. I am sitting, waiting patiently. As Kevin walks into the room, Aunt Sheryl looks horrified and goes completely silent. Her husband asks if everything is okay and greets Kevin courteously. Throughout dinner, my aunt acts super suspicious and Kevin acts uneasy too. Her husband, bless his stupid soul, doesn’t see any of this and starts actually bonding (the stupid man!). Soon after we finish dinner, we all decide to drink some beers and watch the game. Aunt Sheryl complains of a headache and retreats to the guest bedroom. Kevin also wants to leave but Aunt Sheryl’s husband goads him into staying for a bit longer. Kevin reluctantly agrees.
Back on the site-that-must-not-be-named, u/shittymorph would wander subreddits randomly and drop a comment that seemed relevant, but devolved into a diatribe about a 1998(?) pro wrestling match in which The Undertaker threw Mankind off the top of Hell in a cell, 16 feet into an announcers table.
Damn, I feel like I just channeled him to write that comment.
I apologize, as I've wandered in from the wider web... but could someone provide some documentation on these things? Based on your comments, I'm intrigued but I can't find an indepth description of its function and features beyond the blurbs I've found on Google.
Flair is a company that makes manual espresso machines, like the one in this post. In a regular or “semi-automatic” espresso machine like you’d find in a nice cafe, the machine heats the water and pushes the water through the coffee at high pressures. In manual espresso machines, you add the hot water yourself then use the lever to generate the pressure manually. This gives you lots of control over how the espresso is brewed at the cost of more work/effort to make your morning coffee. Some semi automatic machines do also have features to vary temp and pressure, but usually these are much more expensive ~2-3k vs ~$100-500. Another important difference is almost all semi automatic machines have the ability to steam milk, which is important if you plan to make lattes etc
I mainly installed the screen as an easy way to see what’s happening during boot, so I don’t have to lug the server into the other room and connect it to a monitor when I make changes to things. I’m planning on setting up a stats readout so it’s useful the rest of the time - things like network status/traffic, disk/cpu utilisation etc.
Ahhhh, I got you. As a novice collector with almost only reissues, I’d be happy just for a reissue of that album; I’m not even sure how many times I’ve played it end to end!
This was a great little game, I got it off a magazine covertape (I thought SU but spectrumcomputing suggests it was probably Crash). I didn't necessarily think it was innovative then, but the race mode was fun and I remember changing the UI colours. In fact, I don't remember there being a non-race mode, so obviously didn't go into that bit of the game much!
I had the game back then too, but I don’t remember anything about the main game either. I think I was the same as you - saw the racing mode, played the racing mode endlessly. Maybe it shot itself in the foot by having an easily accessible mode that teenage kids would naturally gravitate towards? :)
Same atm, but I’m feeling adventurous so I’ve decided to branch out. I’m thinking heavy whipping cream (thx Bioemerl) with a wee kick of honey to start. maybe see what vanilla extract will do…
I go to the movies at least once a week. This is one of the few cases where the subscription is where it’s at. 25 dollars a month gets me three movies a week. I usually only see one but that nearly pays for itself the first week. It’s great!
