Quoting: GuestDo you still have to stop X before installing and run the whole thing from the command line?

I tryed to install the new drivers on my main gaming rig, and over here it seems I do have to turn of the xserver and turn of nouveau kernel. I didnt have to do this with my laptop, and I do think it is because I have intel and nvidia on it.
So intel was render the image or what u call it. There for mesa was in use I think, and after I installed nvidia 364 nvidia was now rendering the image on my desktop.

For my main gaming rig on the other hand I only use nvidia for displaying my desktop. And I have to turn of the xserver.
And I think I will go for the ppa on this one, I dont want to break anything xD.

Quoting: Spl-itseems the game still looks terrible on linux, will that ever get fixed ?

Ye alot of texters and colors looks really dull and not alive. Hasnt this something to do with openGL?
Over all the game runs good on linux in my opinion atleast. But it gots some wierd graphics bugs.

Quoting: ZeloxThe Leagues comunity are really great now adays. I rarly get in to a game with a flamer, and if I do just ignor it and report it.
And if u find that hard just mute it.

And sometimes there is trash talk just for the lols, you cant take its personaly or seriusly.
I think you should give it a go, mobas are really fun just be humble to other players and you are going to have alot of fun ^^.
Flamers are often kids who have been sipping on to mutch Fanta :P. Its the suger rush u know, and hormones.

Or maybe mobas just dont appeal to you.
I also think you have got the wrong first imperssion on mobas.

It's not a first impression, I've played plenty of them. And yes, LoL is less toxic than HoN and definitely less toxic than DotA 2 (though still definitely not as rosy as you make it out to be), and I think that stems from the game being significantly less complicated. I don't mean that as being necessarily a bad thing, LoL was specifically designed to be less complicated than DotA. As a player that's appreciated and I'm more likely to play LoL than DotA because it's a less complicated game and something I'm more likely to be able to handle. The flip side is that it makes the game less compelling for me to watch. I like watching DotA 2 because it's incredibly complicated and difficult. It may be the most complicated game ever made. Anyone can pick it up and play it, but to get good at it is daunting. Even the top level pros, I'm talking players on tier 1 teams, don't know all the interactions in the game. That makes it fun for me to watch but super stressful to play, whereas I find LoL less stressful to play but much less compelling to watch.

Hmm well you seem to have the experience then. But I have to say there are rarly flamers now a days.
Or maybe Im just lucky. But Im also playing alot in premade teams, with players I know in IRL and players Iv meet in game.
And as u said before its a team game, and you are expected to fill a roll for your team. And if your not there for them some players tend to flame, but that rarly solves anything. Or calling someone out for feeding isnt helping at all, better to just ignor those players and report them.

And I dont know if Im on a very very low lvl in dota, I know its alot more complicated.
But I find the gameplay to slow, but maybe there i more stuff going on under the surface of the game.
I tend to stick with league just because its faster and more strate forward, if u know what I mean.
Or I guess its easyer to undstand.

My point is anyway, I dont find mobas to be so toxic.
But there are jerks out there I have to agree on that.

Quoting: KimyrielleIf you don't want to be a jerk, then don't be a jerk.

Im not saying its ok to be rude, or ok for someone to be rude just because its the internet or a game.
I agree with you on that totaly.
Be nice, flaming rarly never helps eather, it only makes stuff worse. And gives other a bad experince and a losing game :(.

Quoting: KeyrockMOBAs are games that inherently lead to flaming and toxicity, it's built into the very nature of the game genre. The same things that make MOBAs so exciting and compelling to watch (I find MOBAs, more specifically DotA 2, far and away the most compelling eSports to watch), also make the games extremely stressful and make players prone to fits and outbursts. It's because it's a team game where 4 other players are depending on you to not **** up. The structure of MOBAs is such that no single player can carry a game all on their own (though a stellar individual performance can certainly help a team), but a single player making mistakes can absolutely sink their entire team.

Quoting: GuestThat's nice that you didn't have to stop X like the old NVIDIA installers used to require. Still you need to restart X or reboot anyway in order to use the newly installed driver of course, but still, that's waaaaaaaaaaay easier for Linux noobs than being forced to change ttys and forced to learn how to use the command line. A big step for Linux user friendliness, there!

I think a restart is needed in windows aswell. If u want the new drivers to work.
Otherwise I think you are still using the old driver.

But I dont mind a restart, like I said. If it works Im happy ^^

Quoting: Zeloxworks like a charm ^^. I cant tell if Im just "getting better" or if there drivers are less buggy.
But I'v always installed nvidia drivers via ppa. I find it less buggy and its simpler that way.
But I wanted to try it with a run file, in tty, by myself this time. And it works :O.

Do you still have to stop X before installing and run the whole thing from the command line?

Meanwhile, Windows users have an auto-updater, and don't have to log out and back in or reboot to switch drivers. I hope Wayland will provide that feature.

P.S. Don't get me wrong, NVIDIA's auto-updater is pretty horrible, but still it'd be nice to have that option to get new drivers faster, and to have an easy GUI installer.

Nop, I didnt even have to stop the x server. Everything went super smooth :O.
Ye windows is still waaay ahead when it come to supp from nvidia.
And if you compair windows with linux, I prefer linux ppa over geforce experience.

And I dont mind going in to tty or using apt-get like I do now. I just dont like the fact that nvidia used to break the x server or make the desktop crash whenever you installed it.
If the stuff works Im happy. So Im happy now ^^.

And judging from past experience, I could see a gui being really handy for new users.
Cause I hade some frustrating moments in the past with nvidia, and when that ppa came, it was like a blessing from above :P.
