Playing minecraft on a locally hosted server

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2025 - 12:08

Hello! A little trivia: I have installed Linux Mint on my second SSD just yesterday, and my friend (he’s using Windows 10) wanted to play the new snapshot. On Windows we used Radmin VPN to setup a virtual network and play minecraft on my “singleplayer” world that I opened to LAN. However, I did not find a way to do the same on Linux: I tried installing Radmin VPN through Wine, but I could not create neither connect to a network, so I gave up and booted up from Windows.

So my question is, how do I play with my friend (who lives in a different country and uses Windows) on LAN-hosted server that I host on my PC? Maybe there is a Hamachi/Radmin VPN alternative for Linux that will also work on Windows and create a network link between our computers?

Oh and by the way, buying Realms subscription or using free/non-free host providers is really not an option for us.

Debian Steam version doesn't open

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2025 - 10:37

I have Ubuntu 24.04 (LTS) and I downloaded Steam's deb. version because the snap version had mic problems (doesn't show your mic and doesn't allow you to use it etc.). Now is the problem that my steam doesn't open unless I give some commands that makes it restart steam etc. When I write steam in the terminal I get this: :~$ steam

steam.sh[49079]: Running Steam on ubuntu 24.04 64-bit

steam.sh[49079]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

setup.sh[49278]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!

steam.sh[49079]: Using supervisor /home/*****/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/bin/steam-runtime-supervisor

steam.sh[49079]: Steam client's requirements are satisfied

CProcessEnvironmentManager is ready, 6 preallocated environment variables.

Steam is already running, exiting (command line was forwarded).

As you can see it gives back instructions as if the steam is already running but it's actually not on and when I click on the steam icon on my homepage it doesn't do anything. I usually gave some commands like: killall steam and then I clicked on steam icon, which opened steam after like a minute or so? I hope there is a way to solve this.

No. Arch linux kernel builds are not broken

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2025 - 07:54

Just a quick post to tell you that kernel builds are not broken

With the latest kernel your mkinitcpio/mkinitramfs config might be looking for a deprecated module.

You don't need it. remove it from your config if your config is trying to include it.

Make sure you do rebuild your ramdisk after that, otherwise you won't have a working ramdisk to boot with.

EDIT:

What happened is the CRC32 module that used to be used by btrfs (as well as other things) is no longer needed for accelerated crc32 functionality, the built in kernel code will do the right thing if you have a compatible CPU.

SO if you use BTRFS check your mkinitcpio.conf to ensure you don't have crc32-* related modules in your modules line before updating. OR if it fails to run mkinitcpio during your update, be sure to fix the config and re-run it or you wont be able to boot.

Here is the forum thread in question:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=304822

EDIT 2: This deprecation possibly should have had a corrisponding news item on the Arch homepage to save us from sky is falling claims of broken kernel builds. But alas.

Help with F.E.A.R GOG

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 10. April 2025 - 06:53

Can anyone make it work? I've tried with latest GE-Proton 9-27 on lutris but it is crashing at launch. I've tried with older protons like ge8-5 and it worked but it don't execute the echopatch and it's almost impossible to play without it. Maybe I need a dll override or a variable?
