Så jag var ju vaken och kunde inte mer än at vänta- Det bli väl inte så längen. Men strömmen kom inte tillbaka förän straxt före 6. Pust

Det kommer att bli en lång dag idag med mycke kaffe

But the last 2 or 3 weeks I have seen a Auth popup asking for my twitter api key/password. And as I didn’t know what this was I did not fill in any information.

Last week I had some spare time and started to look into this.

First I was a bit worried that I had gotten hacked, or that my Twitter Account was. But after googeling abit about this it seems that twitter has changed the way the it authenticate applications wanting to connect to twitter to post or read tweets. FOr the weeks leeding up to 1/9 2010 they did limit the access to the old way to 5 an hour i think it was and after 1/9 it was totally stop for the old way. You had to start using the new QOAuth way.

So what happened was that choqok was trying to connect more than 5 times and got the reject back and aked me for a new passord.

So I was NOT hacked – hurray. That’s good at-least.

But the bad part was that I now did not have an application that worked. Well I could still connect to the twitter website and post there but that was not what I wanted.

So I started to look for solutions.

First there is a new version of choqok out – not in the repositories so I have to build it from source, but that might work. Download it. Installed cmake as it requires that and then failed on that it did require QOAuth lib and QJson libs that I did not have. OK Skip this for now.

Checked other applications. They did not work, was not available for my ubuntu/kubuntu version or was not able to compile it. Some even crashed for some reason. No luck at all.

So now I have been without a microbloggning client for a while.

But today I came across one that I havent tried before. And that was qTwitter. Its kind of small and does what I want.

I did found it here, and at the bottom of the page you have a link to the ubuntu .deb packages, including the qoath library package.

So now I can do twitter again

Men nu är det helg och i går var jag tyvärr tvungen att jobba lite eftersom ett system bråkade och det bara var tvunget att fungera.

Men idag så har jag varit duktig. Jag har varit och simmat. Och vad otränad man är. Jag startade lite försiktigt med att bara simma 200 m . Själva simmningen var det inga problem med men man känner nu att det kommer nog att bli lite träningsvärk i morgon. Man känner sig lite som en bil som stått i vinterförvaring hela vintern och ska tars ut på våren och köras igen.

Är det nån som har smörjmedel till gamla leder

Men  nu är jag lite igång med detta i alla fall.

Here is the mail:

Newly cerated domain – in china.

På måndagen var det tillbaka ut på stan och ned till congrex.

Tyckte att jag åkte tidigt men det tog mer än 60 minuter att åka från farsta (ja hökarängen) till stadshagen där congrex ligger. Pust.

Tisdagen bar det av ned till IIS nere vis skanstull. Tack och lov så går det fortare in där så man slipper att komma fram irriterad över trafiken i stockkholm.

På onsdagen var det jobb hemma och telefonmöte med registrars.se. Torsdage och fredag var det läkarbesök. Jag skulel ha min årliga genomgån av CPAP masken som jag har för att inte snarka. Så jag var där och hemtade all mätutrusktning och sen var jag tillbaka på fredagen och gick igenom detta. Det ser ut att fungera bra och jag tycker ju själv att jag sover ganska gott så det är inte mycket att klaga om.

Nu är det helg och jag ska tillbringa helgen med att spela EVE lite.

This is a very stupid mail. First of all – why would blizzard use bingdi-znoe.com as a domain name?
Secondly the adress is spelled wrong – with 2 .com in the end so the link is not working.

Still the smae goes here – the link in the mail does not correspond to the link that you actually are taken to so its fairly easy to see.

So here is the mail:

This allows you to crosspost from twitter and to twitter from you blog.

I have been on twitter quite some time and Im not shure how good it is and im not a god poster there. But this plugin helps by posting to twitter when I do a post on my blog.

It can do more – like posting to twitter, and also make blogpost from twitter but thats all configurable.

It seems to work well and im happy with it for now.

This time they are using battiled.net instead of battle.net – see the extra i in there.

Tydligen så gpt det jus nu runt en “applikation” med en dislike button. När jag läste mina rss nyheter nu på morgonen så hade detta postats på slashdot.

Medelandet som kommer är “A message saying ‘I just got the Dislike button, so now I can dislike all of your dumb posts lol!!“. Detta är en fejkad applikation som först tar dej via en online survey som ger skaparna pengar och sen tar dej till en sida där du får en button från FaceMod. Tydligen så kan applikationen också skicka mail till alla dina vänner för att sprida sig. FaceMod knappen har tydligne inte med saken att göra, den avnänds bara som bete.

Så klicka inte och installera denna applikation.

Resan ned var inga problem, lungt och fridfullt. Kom iväg ganska bra efter att ha vart och haft ett kundbesök.

Hos Majsan försökte jag felsöka trillian. Ingen succé. Den försöker koppla upp sej – får fel och försöker igen. Konstigt.

Till slut installerade vi pidgin (gamla gaim) och den fungerade mer eller mindre direkt. Så nu har vi msn igång igen. När man sitter på olika platser och jobbar måste man nästan ha något sånt.

Jag stannade snabbt – trodde jag – i laxå på Burger King för en snabb hanburgare – men det tog 20 minuter kändes det som att få den. Trots att det bara var 3 i kö före mej. Mycket långsamt.

Hur som helst så bar det av vidare och jag var nere på kusten mellan 6 och 7. Inte så illa.

Igår var vi och slängde skräp på återvinningsstationen och handla och i dag har vi fixat med kablar

As usuall the link to click is to a strange. It shows as http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/billing/ but if you look at the link, the actuall lase the link will take you to is http://us.battle.net.wowsuppor-check-blizzard.com. One would belive that any one today that see a mail with a link is a bit reluctant to click on it and defenetly of the adress done correspond.

Here is the whole mail:

http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Boolean-Illogic.aspx

This time my battle.net account has changed email adress from my old one to a new one and as a “security” feature ther are sending out an email verifying that its ok. HOw nice of them. If I have had a battle.net account.

Here is the email. Again with the addresses in text.

No I dont think so.  This is a new scam an its very timely! As Starcraft II is out there are a number of people that has bought it and some, I am shure, will fall for this. I have shown the adress as text instead of links so you can se the fake adresses they use. SO if you get this dont fall for it please.

Planen just nu är att ha mina möten denna veckan och sen åka ned till kusten på torsdag. Vara där ca 1 vecka eller så så att man är tillbaka i stockholm till den 23:e i alla fall. Då får man väl säga att semestern är klar för denna gången. Visserligen så ska ju huset nu vara mer klart för vinter etc men nya värman så jag kommer nog att ta 1 helg i månaden och åka ned i alla fall för att se till det – tror jag.

Once you warp in to the Kassae system, you will be infomed that several Gorn ships have been spotted in the system, and they are blocking your path to the station you’re there to check out. You’ll have to take care of them before you can proceed. Not a big deal.

A small sidenote - I usually scan for anomalies when I get into a system just to be able to pick them up. There where a few in here and one lead to the battleship you will fight in the end, and that lead to the mission got totally screwed up. Just scan and get any near ones when your in there and get the rest at the end of the mission.

Onboard the Relay Station

When you beam into the relay system, ine of the Researcher comes up to you and you can talk to him. He will inform yu what they are doing and that there are fires onboard and it needs to be take care off.

There is actually a accolade for extinguish all the fire on the station – “Fire supressor”

So after talking to the first Researcher and letting him beam to the ship, go over to the other side of the room and pick up the fire extinguisher from the wall on the left of the exit.

The first fire to take out if now to the right of you – at the north east end of the room. And in the room behind that is the second researcher that needs to be take care off. Fight off the Gorns that are surrounding him and free him and send him up to the ship.

On the weast wall of the room you came in to is the small hallway leading up to another room and there are one scientist in there that needs to be set free.

All the time take out all fires you see.

Go up to the next room and in the south-east corer of the room is the next researcher.

In the room here is a fire behind and between some crates and tubes that you usually dont see directly. Take it out also if you want the accolade.

Go out in the hallway and over to the hall on the other side. Here is one more researcher that needs to be beamed off. He has no Gorms around him. In that room there is also a crate that you can open to get some loot.

Go up to the main room and there is one researcher on the walkway that you need to take care off. Kill off the Gorn forces there and take out all the fires around the room.

In the room to the west of the mail root is the last researcher behind a wall of fire. Take it out and talk to him and let him beam back to the ship, and you have finished off that part of the mission.

Dig Site on Kassae IV

When you are back on your ship you’ll warp into orbit of Kassae IV and find yourself immediately atacked by Gorm ships. Kill them off. And then take care of the second group of ships.

Once the skies are clear, you can beam down to Kassae IV.

Three energy towers power a shield that prevents you from reaching the archeologists being held hostage in a central building. You’ll have to work your way to each tower, taking out any Gorn who stand in your way. One guide said that the easiest way was going to the centre and the out to each tower. I tried that first and got killed intermediate.

I then tried to do it over land and tht worked well. As in all ground battle its important to not get to much aggro at the same time.

Battle the Gorn Captain

Once all tree generators has been disabled, the shield surrounding the central building will fall. Go there to take on the Gorn captain. Once you attack, he’ll send out his herd of Attack Saurs. Deal with them in any order you wish, just make sure the Captain gets taken out.

You will not succeed to kill the Captain, because he beams back to his ship before you can kill him. Once you’ve taken out the remaining Attack Saurs, beam back to your ship to take him on again.

Back in space, you’ll discover that the Captain has beamed aboard a Gorn battleship, which you must now defeat. He’s also taken the missing researchers hostage onboard, so you’ll have to beam them out before destroying him.

Keep your distance from the battleship, as it uses both mines and a radiation cloud that can do severe damage to your ship. Stay back and chip away at his defenses with your phasers and torpedoes.

Once you’ve taken the ship’s health down to around 25%, you’ll be able to beam the hostages aboard. They’ll asked to be beamed back to the planet to continue their research and your mission is complete. Congratulations. Contact Admiral Quinn for your reward.

Veckan stora sak har väl varit att StarCraft II har släppts.

Men har ni sett någon review ännu. Nej just det.

Tydligen så har Blizzard lagt locket på. Det har varit folk som har fått se spelet i förväk men tydlgen så har Blizzard sagt att man inte får publicera något innan spelet släpps.

Och är man Blizzard så gör folk som man säger.

Men är detta OK. Att lägga locket på så att man inte kan får förhandtsinformation. Jag tycker inte det i alla fall.

Hur som helst – det finns folk som har för mycket tid tt göra saker:

Det hela startade med att jag var stel och hade ont över allt i tisdage. Detta kunde ju vara resan så jag tog inte det på sånt alrvar men sen blev det bara värre och värre.

Mandlarna har varit svullna, jag har haft ont i halsen och knappt kunnat äta. Feber med mera. Inget roligt alls.

Men nu verkar det ha vänt. Jga är lång ifrån bra och mår ganska dåligt men faktiskt lite bättre än igår i alla fall.

Vi, ja jag gick upp ganska tidigt och läste mail, etc på morgonen, en tidig frukost och snabb dush. Packade ihop datorn och min packning och var klar till 10 som vi hade planerat. Det var dock en hel del saker kvar att fixa, städa, diska med mera och plocka iordning.

Vi kom iväg vid 1 och åkte och lämnade Irmelie i skara hos hennes farmor som skulle ha henne till Stefan kom ned på tisdagen.

Vi drog vidare upp mot Uppsala, stannade och åt, eller rättare sagt köpte mat på MCD i Mariestand och for vidare.

Vi droppade av all Zarahs packning hos dom och sen åkte jag och ylva till Uppsala, Zarah och Jessice åkte med in och hämtade upp Robert. där skildes våra vägar.

Jag åkte vidare till Stockholm och var väl framme runt 11. Lång dag.

When you warp into Bomari System in the Risa Sector of the Sirius Sector Block you first have to scan a signal repeater. And there are some klingons that are defending it ofcuase.

If you do like me and scan for anomalies here you might see strange Dreadnaught, but avoid this for now.

When scanned the signal repeater you will find that they are sending someting to Bomari II and you warp there to investigate. When you arrived there you will find that you cant transport down to the station as there are four transporter disruptors prevent you from beaming down. You have to kill them and there are klingons guarding them.

Listening station

When you have destroyed the disruptors you can beam down to the station – if you move close enough to it. Once there your job is to set six spatial charges on the station’s plasma heat exchangers. There are one in the corridore just next to where you warp in.

One on the room to the left in the corridor and then 4 around the control room in the end of the corridor. When you have set all the spatial charges, you will need to download the data from the computer console. This will get disrupted by a new gang of klingons beaming in. Be carefull – theer are atleast 2 targ handelers in the group so make shure you take them out as early as you can to get rid of the targs.

When you killed the klingons you can upload the data again and youre done on the station.

Battle with the Undine

When ariving in space you have a klingon ship on your heals directly. Kill it off and you will get a message that there are a battle going on neary. I did actually scan down 2 anomalies here before going on to the battle.

When arriving at the battle the Undine Tethys Dreadnaught is already in battle with klingon ships and you need to help them. Only the combined force can defeat the Dreadnaught. Don’t pay too much attention to the Frigates, as they will constantly respawn no matter how many you take out.

After the Dreadnaught is taken out, you’ll need to mop up the remaining frigates and then the battle is won.

You are now done, so warp out to sector space and contact Starfleet. Admiral Quinn offers you some merits, skillpoints, and a choice between a new weapon for your ship or a uncommon Bridge Officer. As i did this a bit later I could retrain one of my officers instaed of getting a new one – not to god, and I should probably have selected a weapon if I could select again. But if you dont ave 4 officers go ahead and get one.

The first part is to kill 50 Klingon ships. Any of the ships in the zone will do, so try and avoid the tougher battleships if you can. You’ll need them alive later, anyway. This is a fleet action, so everyone’s kills go toward the total.

Weaken the attack force

After the initial 50 ships are destroyed, you’ll then be asked to take down 20 Klingon Battleships. These bad boys are tougher, and you’ll definitely need to work with other players to take them down. The Warships are the ones you want to concentrate at this stage. Don’t get so caught up targeting them that you forget the other ships, tough. They can still hurt you, and failing to take out a whole group before you move on is a good way to get your ship destroyed.

The space battle is not that strange. Remember to keep together with the others and keep you shields up and you will survive. If you do go down its not that bad. You will respawn at the entry point and be able to get back into the battle.

Starbalse 24 rescue

The next part of the mission is to go down to the starbase and rescue some scientist. And there are klingons to fight of.

Your task on the starbase is to rescue six scientists and download data from the station’s computer core.

Level One

As you beam down enter the hallway, you’ll see a group of Starfleet personnel fighting some Klingons.

A small tip in all klingon fights: If there’s a Targ Handler in the group, make sure you take him down first. These guys spawn Targs repeatedly until they’re dead, so get rid of them first.

You’ll find the first scientist behind some crates in the Southwest corner of the to the right in the coridor. Kill the klingons around him and then talk to him. He’ll beam to safety aboard your ship.

The next scientist is at the Northeast end of that same room. Talk to him as well.

The third scientist is in a large control room just around the corner from where you found the first two. The hallway around the corner has quite some klingons that you need to fight off before you can go into the control room.

The room across the hall has no scientist, but there is an arms locker to loot and an anomolous reading to analyse.

Down around the corner, in the Northeaster room of the level, you’ll find the fourth scientist cowering behind several Klingon guards. Take them out and get him out of there.

Down the Turbolift – Level 2

Go back out into the hall and take the nearby turbolift downstairs. The fifth scientist is behind a desk in the first room on the right. He’s back in the corner, so make sure you explore the room thoroughly.

Down around the corner is the final room. More klingons on the way there.

When entering the room, the last scientist is on the Northwest corner of the room. Beam him back to your ship and safety.

The computer core is to the right as you enter the room. There are some klingons around that you need to take out, as the download can be interrupted. Walk up to the console, use it, and then beam back to your ship.

Rendezvous With the U.S.S. McCoy

Outside, get ready to engage full impulse as soon as the instance loads. You need to get your rescued scientists to safety, and the Federation Rally point is well outside the battle area. If you have trouble locating it, look for a circle on your map NE of the starbase. You may have to defend yourself if you get attacked, but get out there as soon as possible. The U.S.S. McCoy needs your help.

At the rally point, help the McCoy fend off it’s attackers. Afterward, move close enough to the McCoy to hail it. The rescued scientists will beam aboard and your mission is complete.

Vädret var ganska fint och efter det att alla kommit upp och kommit igång på morgonen så åkte jag med David upp till hans kompis Erik utanför Hunnebostrand och lämnade honom där eftersom han skulle åka med dom hema. Sen tillbaka och hämtade up alla och så åkte vi till Trollhättan för att hälsa på Greta.

Hon var lite förvånad och se och och jag tror att hon inte kände igen Ylva och Zarah först men hon kände igen mej direkt. HOn låg och sov när vi kom så att bli väckt av personer man inte känner igen kan väl vara lite förvånande. Men hon har nu fptt sett Hampus och Irmelie och givetvis oss alla andra.

I Trollhättan var det 16 grade och när vi kom tillbaka till kusten var det 23 grader så dte var ganska varmt och skönt.

Ylva lagade Korv Stroganoff till middag och sen tittade vi på Constantine filmen på tv.

Vi startade med att se om vi kunde få igång nån av dom gamla gräsklipparna. Zarah skulle ju behöva en uppe hos sej och om nån av dom gamla kunde gå igång vore det ju bra. Men icke. Den som såg best ut tog vi och skruvade ut tändstiftet så vi kunde skaffa ett nytt och se om det hjälpte. Men icke.

Vi skaffade ett nytt när vi var inne och handlade men det hjälpte inte.

Men den nyaste fungerar ju som den ska efter servicen så det fungerade att klippa i alla fall, så nu är det klippt och ok.

Jag och ylva åkte in och handlade så nu är kylskåpet fyllt tills vi ska åka på måndag. Det blev köttbullar och potatisgratäng till fredagen.

På kvällen tog vi det lugnt. Davids kompis Erik och hans tjej Anna kom och hälsade på och vi andra tittade på senaste StarTrek filmen.

• Tazi System Patrol
• Omar System Patrol
• Donia System Patrol
• Koolhaas System Patrol

Thi smission is a standard one, in space battle all the time.

This is an Patrol Mission. You will need to go and:

• Patrol the Reytan System
• Patrol the Kinjer System
• Patrol the Una System
• Patrol the Pellme System

Patrol the Reytan System

Hree you meet some more Orion ships and do some space battle.

Patrol the Kinjer System

More space work. You need to get data from 5 probes, and when you done that you need to eliminate a Enemy installation.

Patrol the Una System

Here are some more space work. There are some hidden/cloaked Klingon forces you need to find and eliminate.

Patrol the Pellme System

This is a gound mission. You need to first scan the planet, beam down, scan one of the sensors and the go to the rest of them (4) and repair them. No combat.

You go and meet up with Lt. Commander E’genn in Earth Space Dock and help him transport some data samples to memory alpha.

When you are at Memory Alpha, take you time and explore it a bit and perhaps start on doing some R&D.

The first planet or sys I whent to in the Delta Volanis Cluster was a ground combat one. Rescue some scientist on a base and repel the Klingon forces that beams in. And i had quite some problems with this. I managed the first part of the Klingons. The next 3 that cam in was a bit harder to cope with but I did manage. But the last one was impossible to fight try. I did try at least 6 times.

But i then went on and visited 3 different other systems and managed to solve that, so I skipped that mission and did get the exploration done.

You start out going to the Lakey System. DOing some space battle. Scan for some Dilithium Crystals (4 of them) and then deliver them to U.S.S Valor.

Yo will hen go on to another space batlle where you need to destroy the Gorm Jamming station, get some more crystals to be able to go to the Paulson Nebula.

There you need to scan for 5 strange objects. Beam to the station and defend the data core during transmission of the data.

Not to hard.

This mission consists of 4 different parts:

• Patrol the Kei System
• Patrol the Bhea System
• Patrol the Pico System
• Patrol the Beytan System

Patrolling the Kei System

Here you will fend off some Orion Syndicate thugs. Basically some space battle, and they will get some Reinforcements, and you have to eliminate 3 more Outlaying Squadrons.

Patrolling the Bhea System

Here you need to destry 4 Drydocks. Also some space battle.

Patrolling the Pico System

This part was a bit different. No battle. You will have to search the large asteroids for the lost transport

Escort the transport to the mining facility, and while doing this stay within 3 km and lead the transport to the mining faicility. Not to hard, just keep going at minimum inpulse (first notch up) and you will get there.

Patroling he Beytan System

This was also not a battle mission. You beam down to the surface of the Beyton V and talk to some workers there. They will tell you different things, so remember what they are saying as Brian Vanderberg will ask  you a number of questions and you need to get that right.

And now you are all done.

As you have seen perhaps there are anomalies in the system. Dont forget to scan and pick up these samples as you go along as you can use them later on in game to do some manufacturing.

I should probably have done some of the small ones before, like the “New Order”, “New Officer”, “Skill Trainer”, “Medical Attention”, “Out of Commission” and “A Difficulty Desition” as all of them ar running around meting up with different persons/officers in Earth Space dock. All extreamly easy, but you need to make them to get them out of the way. There is an excelent interactive map of Earth space dock at http://stofan.comxa.com/databank/esd.php. I did these a bit later but they are not much to talk about

But back to Diplomatic order.

You start by meeting the Vulcan Ambassador in the Stateroom in Earth Space Dock. Then take “him” to P’Jem system. There are some klingons there that you need to take care off first.

Beaming down to the planet you will do some ground combat and then back up to space.

There you will meet a Dreadnought and you need to stay alive for 2 minutes until reinforcements arrive.

Pust vad mycket folk.

Tack och lov så var det inte strålande solsken utan lite mulet så det var inte för varmt.

Vi gick och tittade i alla affärer och tog en glass.

När vi var färdiga åkte vi en sväng till ICA och handlade en ny nappflaska till Hampus eftersom Zarah hade glömt sin och han började bli hungrig.

Sen bar det avtvärs över vägen in till lågprisbutiken i Tenistältet. När allt var avklarat så kände ingen för att laga mat så vi åkte och tog en Pizza på hemvägen. Vi provade den nya som ligger precis i backen upp efter rondellen och dom hade goda pizzor.

Hem och en lugn kväll med lite monopol, hampus passning och Babylon 5.

When you gone to Malcom Sissel in the Shipyard you will get new orders to go ans assist S.S. Azura in space, this is the first time you will go into sector space so you will see some new areas here. The missions is not hard. Kill some enemies in space, do some ground work, go bask into space, kill some more and rescue the captain before the ship blows up.

When done you will get some more Skillpoints, BOff skillpoints, Merits and a new (the second) Bridge Officer.

So when this is done you can walk around Earth Spaceport, go to Sector space, but really not do much more in game if you have the demo. So if you like the game, this is where you need to buy and get the real game. This can be done electronically, and you only get a token to redeem at the StarTrek Online website to enable your game to be fully ok. You dont need to download or reinstall the game.

You will have to pay a bit more that 1 month subscription fee for the game, but this includes the first 30 days of gametime. You have the option to sign up with a credit card (autorenewal) or you can even do it with gamecards.

Bu I do have a running, fully functional game now.

This one introduce most of the game mechanics to you and help you understand the game. The mission consists of 8 submissions:

• Prelude to a Crisis – Captain Qat’Anmek
• Khitomer Crisis
• The Price of Liberty
• Assimilation
• Gather Equipment
• Line in the Sand
• Welcome to Earth Spacedock – Admiral Quinn
• Skills Trainer – Admiral Quinn

When done you are the new captain of your own ship.

I will document and describe my adventures here in the blog so it you see STO: in the tittle you know that its about StarTrek Online.

Downloading the game

I decided to start the thing by trying the Demo game you can donwload and try.

The Demo allows you to create accounts, play through the tutorial mission and the “Stranded in Space” mission. This gives a nice test of the game and I wanted to see that I could run the game before committing and buying the game. I did found out that you cant go to the bridge, fly into any other star system (I wanted to visit Vulcan) so the demo is quite restricted, but works well for a test.

So lets get going. Go to http://startrekonline.com/demo and clikc on the download/Cryptic to get the download program down.

The downloader is some kind of P2P program and will NOT work under wine. It runs for a while but crashes fairly often. So I did end up running the downloader in Virtualbox and there it run nicely.

Make shure you download the game to a shared drive that you can access from both Virtualbox and from linux. This is because when you have downloaded the complete installer, you wil run that from Wine to do the install.

So when the download is complete, exit the installer and Virtualbox.

Installing the game

To install the game run the download/installer from wine when the download is completed.

You need to install some extra parts for Wine before the system and installer will run rightly. If you haven’t downloaded and installed winetricks there are some instructions here.

Then install ie6 from winetricks:

sh winetricks ie6

Then its time to do the install. I ran it with the command:

env WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" ^Cne explorer /desktop=3,1600x1000 PathToInstaller/STO_Demo_Installer.exe

This will start the installer, Select the path where you downloaded the files from within Virtualbox and let it verify the files. Install and register the demo account with cryptic/startrek online.

When you run the game, website you will get some javascript errors, but just click yes to continue run javascript on this page and you should get there.

Fixing the Icon

The installer will create a desktop icon if you allow it, but I changed the command to run as I wanted the game to run in a virtual desktop and be able to run the game fullscreen in this. So I changed the Application:Command to be:

env WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" wine explorer /desktop=3,1600x1000 "C:\Program Files\Cryptic Studios\Star Trek Online.exe"

There are a couple of things you need to fox to get the game to run well

Fixing the sound problem

Out of the box the sound will not work correctly. At least not for me. So to fox that you need to do the following:

• Startup winecfg
• Click on the “libraries” tab
• Under where it says “New override for library” enter mmdevapi then click add
• Select it on the list, click edit, select disable, and click ok.
• Click on the main OK to save and exit winecfg

This should give you sound in game.

Fixing the rolling problem

The keyboard repeat in X is a problem for the game, so when running the game, turn that off before you run the game with (in a terminal window):

xset r off

And turn in on after the game is run with

xset r on

That will take care of that

Game setting

The only thing left now is to change the graphics options in game to “low” and set the window to run in full screen mode (remember that you are running in a virtual desktop so the size is what you specify in the /desktop part on the command line)

Done!!!!!

You can now test play the game. If you later decides to try out the full game, you only need to get the Download key to convert the install to a full game. No need to reinstall the game.

Efter dom vanliga morgonbestyren så åkte vi in till ICA i Lysekil och köpte mat för dom närmaste dagarna.

Hem och packade upp och sen bar det av till stranden och bada. Det var härligt varmt och skönt i vattnet och nästan inga maneter.

Efter att ha torkat så var det hem och laga till middagen. Färskpotatis med Rostbiff. Mums.

Sen tog alla det lugnt och slöade hela kvällen.

Torsdagen var en ganska regnig dag till att starta med och det är ju tur att huset är stort och rymmligt så att alla kan vara inne och titta på tv eller så när det är regnigt.

Vi hade ugnsbakad falukorv och potatis till middag, och sen tittade vi lite på Avatar filmen. När det var dags för Irmelie att gå och sova så startade vi alla med att spela Monopol. Och detta tog hela kvällen. Framåt 12 så åkte först Ylva ut och sen jag, sen vet jag faktiskt inte hur det gick.

Idag blir det nog till stranden efter att vi tagit en sväng in til stan och fyllt på föråden med mat!

David kom ned i söndags så han har ju varit här några dagar nu. Men i går så var det dags för Zarah, Hampus, Ylva, Irmelie och Jessice men all packning ch djur och komma ned.

Dock så hade dom problem med att komma iväg. Zarahs katter tyckte inte det var viktigt att komma in så dom kom inte iväg förän efter 9 på kvällen.

Så i natt blev jag väckt vid 4 tiden av en Irmelie som tittade öve sin kudde och sa “Hej Morfar”. sen somnade både hon och jag igen.

Jag antar att jag får se alla lite senare idag.

Jga åkte från kusten lite före 1 tiden och det var massor med amerikanare ute på vägen så fram till motorvägen tog det sin lilla tid.

Hem till Anita och plockade upp henne och Pia och Staffan och sen åkte vi ut till Sylte och hämtade Greta.

Anita hade ordnat så vi fick låna personalens lilla samlings/konferenserum och där dukade vi fram och gjorde kaffe. Rose-Marie, Lovis och Patrick kom straxt efter det att vi startade och vi hade en trevlig stund med tårta och kaffe.

Sen lämnade vi av Greta en stund så hon fick vila lite och åkte hem till Pia och Staffan. Såg på deras trevliga lägenhet och drack lite kall dricka. Det var en mycket varm dag.

Straxt efter 5 så åkte jag och Anita tillbaka och hämtade upp Greta, och sen bar det av ned till Mamma Mia för en fin kväll på restaurangen. Jag njöt av en Chao Chao (inbakad pizza med köttfärs) och den var jätte god. Fram åt 8 tiden sen så var alla ganska trötta så vi körde hem Greta och sen bar det av ut till kusten igen.

En härlig dag och jag tror att Greta tyckte det var jättetrevligt. En del kort finns på facebook.
