How should I respond to these? Is there a way to get this stuff straight out of my Windows installation (dual booted)? Are there mirrors that I can point winetricks to in order to get these files?

In Windows, I believe that files with a tilde in the file name represent files that are currently open in an application. For example, Microsoft Word creates a file with almost the same name as the file you currently have open, but with a tilde in the name. It's icon is also partially faded. As far as I'm aware, this signifies a temporary file that exists

  • in case the application crashes and you didn't get a chance to save your file, or
  • to allow the original file to remain unlocked by the file system and accessible to other applications.

In Linux, I ran into a *.log file with a tilde at the end of the file name (scan.log~). Does that mean the log file is currently open in another application that is potentially writing to it?

I run World of Warcraft on Windows 7 on one hard drive and Ubuntu on another. Until I can figure out how to get my wine version working at the same framerate as the Windows 7 version, I have to do large group content on my Windows installation.

I have two copies of the installation. As of now, I link the directories inside of the primary folder in the wine installation (i.e. the Interface folder is a symlink pointing to the Windows 7 installation folder). The reason I link the subdirectories instead of the main directory is because, 2 directories deep (/wow/WTF/config.wtf), there is a configuration file that I keep different for both installations. While this is pretty much okay, it means I will run into issues when I get either installation patched as the root installation folder has executable files.

Is there a way to build a symlink, but allow a file inside of the symlink to remain unlinked? Or, alternatively, is it safe to link *.exe files that I know will be altered / patched?

I had the Logitech MX-518 mouse, but it had been having issues with responsiveness, causing me to call support for a replacement. Instead of another 518, they sent me a Logitech G400 mouse because the 518 has been discontinued. This causes issues because, while the MX518 was supported by lomoco, the G400 mouse is unsupported. Running $ lomoco -s shows 001.003: 046d:c245 Unsupported Logitech device: Unknown.

What I would like to do is lock the DPI of my mouse to a single value and remap the DPI+ and DPI- buttons to PgUp and PgDn on my keyboard.

How would I accomplish this?

Logitech G400

The buttons are, in order:

  1. Button 1: Left-click
  2. Button 2: Middle-click
  3. Button 3: Right-click
  4. Button 4: Mouse Wheel Up
  5. Button 5: Mouse Wheel Down
  6. Button 6: None
  7. Button 7: None
  8. Button 8: Thumb Button #1
  9. Button 9: Thumb Button #2
  10. Button 10: Task Switcher Button
  11. Button 11: None
  12. Button 12: None

On the previous mouse (MX 518), buttons 11 and 12 were the DPI keys. One of the things that makes these buttons different than the rest is that applications such as xev do not recognize pressing them as an event, by default. On the MX 518 mouse, in order to make those buttons able to be altered / binded, they had to first be disabled. I believe that lomoco called it "Logitech SmartScroll / Cruise Control." On the G400, lomoco doesn't work and I am unaware of an alternative.

Also, here is some output from xinput, in case it is helpful.
