Installing Football Manager 2012 in Ubuntu Linux

In this tutorial I will present how to install Football Manager 2012 in Ubuntu Linux (version 12.04). Some time ago I've made a tutorial regarding the installation of FM2010 in Ubuntu and a lot of people entered on my blog searching tips on how to install this superb game in Linux.

So I thought that it would be nice to make a small article where to write the steps to run this game. From the beginning I have to mention that I have used the official site of the Wine Program. What is Wine?
Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows. 
The site where you can see the steps for installing and running FM12 is WineHQ. But if you want to stay here please read the steps below and install FM12:

  • you have to have installed wine program. I have wine-1.5.9 and you can find out which version you have writing in Terminal wine --version. If you don't have installed at all the wine program install it as sudo apt-get install wine.
  • mount the FM12 iso file or place the DVD in the DVD/CD drive and install the game with wine Setup.exe
  • in this moment FM2012 will be installed on the C drive from Wine Folder.
  • run in the Terminal sudo apt-get install stress
  • disable Compiz if you have Unity or Gnome 3 or use other window manager.
  • run in Terminal stress --cpu number where instead of number write how many CPUs you want to use for this game.
  • go in the folder where is the executable for the game and write in the Terminal wine fm.exe
  • the game should start
If everything is OK the game should work. The only thing which I didn't liked was the fact that there are some glitches and some images are overlapped. With some more tries and searches on internet I think that these issues can be resolved.

Hope that helps and if not please take closer look on the WineHQ site.

Guşteriţa, Sibiu

Fãrã canalizare si cu drumuri pietruite, sibienii din cel mai oropsit cartier al Sibiului se întreabã dacã n-ar fi fost mai bine ca Gusterita sã rãmânã comunã. Desi e parte a orasului de jumãtate de secol, cartierul nu reuseste sã se ridice din noroaie. Primãria anuntã cã lucrãrile pentru canalizare ar putea începe la primãvarã. Acelasi lucru il spunea Primaria si in 2006, dupa trei ani situatia inca nu s-a schimbat. Fiecare sibian a auzit de Gusterita. Însã nu multi au si cãlcat vreodatã pe acolo. Departe de oras, locuitorii cartierului, alipit Sibiului în urmã cu o jumãtate de secol, sunt singurii care îsi stiu problemele si se luptã cum pot cu ele. Lipsa canalizãrii, transportul public slab organizat si drumurile proaste le dau cele mai mari bãtãi de cap. Guşteriţa (în dialectul săsesc Hameršterf, în germană Hammersdorf, în trad. "Satul ciocanului", în maghiară Szenterzsébet, în trad. "Sfânta Elisabeta") este în prezent un cartier al municipiului Sibiu. Istoric L...

I think that you know Heroes 3 and that you've played in Windows but the story and the game play is calling you to play it also in Linux, no? First we have to download and install this game. Download I think that this is the easiest step, you just have to search on Google something like this download heroes 3 linux and I'm definitively sure that you'll find a site from which to download the game files ;). Installation After downloading the game you have to install it. If the *.iso file is compressed in a  *.bz2 file you have to uncompressed it.
