1. What does ~ mean? cd ie. "~/.wine/drive_c/" 2. Steam runs. Hurray. But I can't chat with friends. I can see their messages, but not mine. I assume they never get them because they never say anything more. 3. I launch TF2, I get the valve logo, source logo, then BAM back to desktop. No error boxes. And my screen resolution stays "minimized" to what tf2 was launched at. I mean try to running the game via terminal and seeing if it will me anything there. 4. I can't get utorrent to launch from links in firefox; everything else about both programs works perfectly. I've tried three scripts: #!/bin/sh cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/utorrent if [ "$1" != "" ]; then var="`echo $1 | sed 's/\//\\\/g'`" var="Z:${var}" wine utorrent.exe "$var" else wine utorrent.exe fi #!/bin/sh cd ~/ if [ "$1" != "" ]; then var="`echo $1 | sed ?s////g'`" var="Z:${var}" wine .utorrent "$var" else wine.utorrent fi #!/bin/sh wine /path/to/utorrent.exe "$*" uTorrent's home: /home/earls/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/utorrent So? 5. Is there a program or website that will verify you have the latest drivers? Is that something built into ubuntu?
