Nick Bailuc's questions

Whenever I open Ubuntu Software Center or the "About my computer", the program seems to freeze and a small Window pops up saying
"Downloading wine-x64-unity3d-installer (7MiB)"

It takes about a minute to download, and then Software Center (or Details) unfreezes and I can resume what I wanted to do. The next time I turn on the program, exact same problem occurs. Why is this happening? Does Ubuntu Software Center run on Windows libraries and isn't native to Linux (what a ridiculous idea)

I tried purging wine and anything that has to do with wine. The only thing left on my computer is a package called "wine-staging". I am unable to remove this package as DPKG tells me that the package has dependencies.

What is causing this issue?

The Ubuntu Software Centre has an older version and downloading Audacity from the website gave me a folder that doesn't seem to have a binary to start the program. How do I install version 2.1.0 in Ubuntu 14.10?

When I launch Steam through Wine, no text is shown, just buttons. I am running Wine version 1.6. How do I fix this?

Soon I will upgrade my GA-890GPA-UD3H to either GA-990FXA-UD3 or M5A99X (still deciding which one).

Would I need to reinstall my 14.10 setup or will the kernel simply boot with a different motherboard driver?

I am not upgrading the CPU, just the motherboard.

I want to optimize my graphical experience with multiple plug-ins on Firefox (Specifically CFX) but for that to work, I need to specify the binary of Firefox so that the driver could force the settings onto it. Where is the binary?

I have a turntable which has a USB made for digitalizing Vinyl records via USB (usb A to usb B not audio to usb). It came with a disk that had "EZ Vinyl/Tape Archiver" which requires itunes to run. What program can receive audio data and record it?

I need to do a few things that can only be done on my computer, but my home internet is broken this week. The only way to get internet is on my phone. I turn on tethering and my phone acts like a WiFi router which allows my laptop to access the internet, but I need my Desktop to have internet because of the programs requirements to turn on. To reword, my phone has 3G and acts like a WiFi hotspot which my laptop receives because it has a WiFi card, but it also has an Ethernet port. I need to use my cable and connect the Ethernet port so that my laptop acts like a router and my PC can have access to internet but I don't know how to configure the laptop to do that. Both my computer and laptop have 14.04. What program allows me to do this Thanks in advance!

My GUI is completely messed up and I need to get the gnome terminal working. Ctrl-Alt-T doesn't work because Unity or Gnome are broken. All I'm getting is a mouse and another program that I launched with other keys. I need to login into TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and write a command that will open the gnome terminal in the GUI (Ctrl+Alt+F7). I already tried nohup and some other command I don't remember. I have also tried placing the terminal into startup but it didn't start at boot.

Software Center messed up my proprietary driver installation and I must revert to the original driver (the one you can find in "Additional Drivers" tab under software sources.

However Software Center corrupted my video driver and Software Sources does not allow me to revert or change anything. Completely removing the proprietary driver leaves me with a corrupted x.org and does not work. Where can I download an exact copy of the "X.org AMD display wrapper" and install it because right now I have no GUI.

I don’t use VLC that much to have it there, so I would like to remove it from the sound menu in the top right. I found a small image to show what it looks like (the sound menu is open and shows VLC along with other music players).

Sorry for giving a very low resolution image.

I heard that 13.10 used a mix of Mir and X.Org. How about 14.04? Will it also be using both or just Mir. If its just Mir then how do we get official (not proprietary) drivers to work (by AMD)

I upgraded from 12.04.1 to 12.10 via the Update Manager and the upgrade said it completed successfully, however after rebooting the Unity task bar was missing along with the launch bar and the window decorations.

All compiz settings seemed to be purge deleted, and at first boot it gave me a system error. The desktop exists, and once I remember I messed up the compiz settings and just had to press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and in the virtual terminal type unity --reset then sudo reboot.

Everything worked as if I reinstalled the entire operating system. This time it said:

Warning no variable set. setting to :0. The reset option is now dupricated.

What am I suppose to do now? I need this fixed as soon as possible because I need a couple of certainly installed programs and the data within them (long story short).

I have about 20 files of music in the format .aa3. Which Linux-compatible program reads that format?

I installed Precise on my friend's computer to use it, but it automatically boots into Precise. He has Xp and wants it to boot into Xp automatically.

How can I set Windows Xp to be the primary boot operating system?

What terminal command tells the version of Ubuntu.

Is there AMD Overdrive on Ubuntu? Because I want to install it if possible, but i seem to have the latest AMD drivers installed. Does anyone have an AMD Graphics card? If they do could you please tell me if there is a working overdrive section for Catalist control center? By the way, i have the ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card.

I trying to work out how long can my graphics card last with its fan off without overheating.

when I'm browsing the Internet, the graphics card fan is the loudest thing in my computer.

So my question is, how do I monitor the GPU temperature of my ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card.

How do I install Half-Life 1 and 2 on Ubuntu 12.04 if I already have the game on a Windows installer CD and on Steam. I tried it with Steam, but the game didn't launch. I also tried it on wine with the Windows installer, but it didn't work either.

10 latest updates and drivers and I need to run a game called unreal tournament, but in terminal it requires 2 commands The first one is to mount into the folder:

cd /usr/local/games/ut2004/

and then the second one is to open the actual game:

sudo aoss ./ut2004

In one shortcut i can only fit 1 command but both don't fit in is there any way i can turn these 2 commands into one? Perhaps turni9ng on the desktop shortcut already mounted into the folder? Any help would be really appreciated because im getting kinda sick of using the terminal to run it every time.
