Tutorials -Difficult / o0splitpaw0o / Saturday, 10 July 2010 02:06

Step 1: install

Goto Applications > Accessories > Terminal

type in sudo apt-get install ushare

once installed type in sudo dpkg-reconfigure ushare & setup the server name, locations to grab media (example: /home/username/Music)

Type in sudo nano /etc/ushare.conf & scroll down until you see USHARE_ENABLE_XBOX= add “yes” to the end

(Example: USHARE_ENABLE_XBOX=yes )

ENABLE_DLNA=yes for PS3

Hit CTRL X

Hit Y to save your changes

Hit enter to close

Step 2: (XBOX ONLY) Setup a Excitable Shell Script (ubuntu server)

Type in nano media.sh

Type the following into the file

 

#!/bin/sh

echo "Starting XBOX mode"

sleep 1

screen -A -m -d -S  media /etc/init.d/ushare stop && ushare -x

 

Hit CTRL X

Hit Y to save your changes

Hit enter to close

now type in sudo sh media.sh

This will start the server in XBOX compatible mode & run in the background.

In order to bring it up to the front type in screen -x media

You can push it back to the background again by typing in CTRL A D

At this point, you should be able to access your music/video from your xbox from the media library!!

S
ince I been using World Of Warcraft for awhile, &  I  find it still a pain in the butt search to find support for it that at least makes it simple enough for someone who is new to Ubuntu to understand.  There are two ways I found it to be done. I'll start with the simple one first

1. Download the latest wine:

I  find it still a pain in the butt search to find support for it that at least makes it simple enough for someone who is new to Ubuntu to understand.

Ubuntu 9.10 (Currently): Applications > Software Center > do a search fore wine. > select it. > click install

Ubuntu 9.04:

32 BIT Link here (Wine 1.1.31 i386)

64 BIT Link here (Wine 1.1.31 AMD64)

If you have an older release of different processor download from the WineHQ Archives here. 

Double click on the *.deb file you just downloaded> Click on install > Type in your password.

 Option 1: Download the installer

One of the easiest (& Slowest) ways to get WoW running. If you notice that if you purcheased the DVD set of WoW, the disk once inserted either shows you the setup file, but cannot find the packages; or it shows no installation file to click on once the disk is inserted

If you need to register the expansion Wrath Of the Linchking that you purcheased add the CDKEY first at: 

https://upgrade.worldofwarcraft.com/installer/index.xml?product=WLK

Downloading the reinstaller is your best bet if you have an existing account.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/lichking/download/

Option 2: Use the DVD

Having done that, wait till your DVD is already inserted, if it doesn't seem to mount, rebooting your system may cause it to appear (it did for me).

With your DVD mounted, open up a terminal window and copy & paste the following commands:

To access terminal goto Applications > Accessories > Terminal

 

sudo mount -o remount,unhide /dev/cdrom*
gksudo nautilus /media/cdrom0*

 

Once the DVD appears on the screen right click on setup.msi(*.exe) and goto properties.

Under open with tab, first select wine. Then highlighting archive manager, remove it from the list. This will prevent each time you doubleclick on a *.exe or *.msi from launching archive manager. Close the properties & doubleclick like you would any application.
