Whenever I install a Debian, with a GUI, I usually use Synaptic to get my apps.
The greatest feature it has is the quick search box that doesn’t exist or is grayed out in the current builds.
Because it’s missing a dependency called apt-xapian-index.
As a quick fix, close Synaptic and run:
sudo apt-get install apt-xapian-index

For some people the game won’t detect gamepads. I’m running Windows 8.1 and this is how I resolved my issue:
So some time ago I had a power outage, in the last three years it has happned at least four times and since I don’t have a UPS I had to deal with it like a man and check my disk and discover that critical files were missing or damaged (such as riched32.dll).
This is a simple thing to do, boot on a Windows 8 setup image, and launch a the following command:
sfc /SCANNOW /OFFWINDIR=X:\windows /OFFBOOTDIR=X:
Keep in mind that in my case the faulty volume was X: so it may be different for you.
If everything went well, then it’s good. It can fail sometimes for various reasons, but since it never failed on me I can’t help more.
Apparently it is also possible to restor damaged files with DISM, but since I couldn’t use DISM right and always have errors with it I will update this article when in the future.
They once said to me that on board audio is crap, and I should get any Xonar.
I listened and was aware that with great audio, comes some surprises.
I bought an Asus Xonar DGX because it was within my budget and had headphone amps.
This is not that bad since I can only come up which two games that had problems.
Star Wars: Republic Commando had no sound if the GX option was turned off, it wasn’t a big deal.
Dead Island had buzzing sound on 7.1. I don’t want to have to change my settings every time I must play a game.
My gaming experience was overall good and smooth.
But I don’t have only games in my life.
For watching animes I use the Combined Community Codec Pack with Media Player Classic. The playback was alright with my on board sound on my Sabertooth P67.
With the Xonar I had to reconfigure everything. One video could not have a single problem and restore some 7.1 sound.
Some other started stuttering like if the video had to follow the sound.
Getting the good settings was probably not possible and since I can’t watch animes with buzzing and stuttering sound… I had no other choice than popping the card out.
This is a bit of an awkward one. I mainly use Skype with people I personally know in real life.
Getting the settings right was really hard at first, but good enough.
After a while I decided to switch to my old desktop mic since people were complaining that they could here in my headset the sound playing. I usually listen to cool stuff.
Getting the settings right without everybody picking up the keys I mashed or my mouse clicks isn’t possible.
The mic got all the sounds, even when I was cooking in my kitchen.
Yeah. You could say that.
But Anime is a big part of my life, and if I must tweak every single game to get it running because I have a sound card… Well no thanks.
I could blame the game developers for that, but Asus is to blame too.
Update: The game has been release, you can get it on Arks-Layer.
If you don’t feel like setting up a VPN or if you can’t set it up, there is another way to obtain the game. You’ll need:
I’m not responsible of anything. If something breaks or works it’s because of you.
If you follow the instructions, it should work, otherwise the instruction were not followed correctly.
Update: The game has been release, you can get it on Arks-Layer. Don’t bother with a VPN.
After receiving a mail saying that I was chosen for the closed beta of Phantasy Star Online 2: es, I wanted to install it on my phone like anybody who’s supposed to play it.
Like always, things don’t go smoothly: it’s region locked on the Play Store.
I’m using a Nexus 4 running the stock Android 4.3.
I’m not responsible of anything, if you have a problem with scanning a QR Code you can get Google Goggles. For other problems I consider you know how to read so there should not be any.
Keep in mind that your device is probably not compatible.
UPDATE 2021/03/04: After reviewing some posts (like this one) I’ve come to the conclusion that this is a pretty dumb thing to do, don’t run games as admin just because they don’t run.
This blog could be called the “not running on Windows 8”, and if people actually read this blog they’ll think that I’m trolling them about Windows 8.
Windows 8 is not that bad at all, it just has some small issues with some software not written for it.
I personally think that Trine 2 has some of the best graphics, and the story or the gameplay is not that bad while it’s linear.
There are 3 little steps:
Even if you disabled smartscreen and the UAC, programmes won’t run with Admin rights if you don’t ask them too (with a manifest or right clicking then running as admin).
You can now enjoy Trine 2 !
Once again some games are not written for Windows 8, especially for the up to date dinput8.dll file !
Apparently this bug feature happens when a controller is plugged in, but I’m too lazy to find out.
The answer to that problem is in a Steam Game Hub thread, thanks to Dolimite.
To enjoy your Telltale title, follow the following steps:
Telltale should really do something…
Enjoy your game !
