Linux

What videocard do you have?
What drivers do you use?

Please show output for
lspci | grep VGA
and
glxinfo | grep string

It looks like it's maybe nouveau and no s3tc.

Just copy and paste the commands (in italics) and post the feedback. Use the terminal.

Output would be like this:

core@CoreBox:~ > lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF114 [GeForce GTX 560 Ti] (rev a1)
core@CoreBox:~ > glxinfo | grep string
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
client glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation

it worked! Amazing. THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH. I seriously love you. (no homo) :D

Switched from windows. ^^

I am having an identical issue.

I used the below command,

sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0 libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0:i386

and my issue was resolved.

Thank you Torgeir Hekard

I am also running Linux Mint 17.1 with Cinnamon. I have recreated a lot of functionality. My only struggle now is GTKEveMon. I can seem to find all of the packages needed to compile the source.

Teamspeak & Mumble have native Linux clients that you can install and run.

Eft: Pyfa (Python Fitting Assistant). Very similar to EFT and platform independent
Comms: As said above, just use the native TS3 or Mumble client.
Jabber: Pidgin is available for Linux and other OSes and supports XMPP (read: Jabber Protocol)
Fraps: Have a look at this thread. I used GLC in the past and it worked well for me.
Evemon: Apparently gtkevemon is alive. If you don't find that in your repositories, read on.



If you are on a binary based distribution like ubuntu, make sure, that you don't just install the libraries, but the development files as well. under ubuntu I believe this would be 'libssl-dev', 'libgtkmm-3.0-dev' and 'libxml++2.6-dev'

Then just as a user do:

git clone https://git@github.com/gtkevemon/gtkevemon
cd gtkevemon
make

and as superuser:

make install

then you should be able to run '/usr/local/bin/gtkevemon' from cli, a script, a launcher or what have you.



No idea what that's got to do with Eve, but from my experience, bluetooth works out of the box with *ubuntu and is better integrated and more intuitive to use than what I've seen from Windows. I suppose it depends on whether or not your particular BT device has driver support, so ymmv. Give this a read, if you feel so inclined. Especially when it comes to troubleshooting, the Arch Wiki tends to have a few good hints as well. It's specifically written for Arch Linux of course, but most of the things written there are just as true for other modern flavours of GNU/Linux.

I believe your problem is you have a relatively recent GPU (also, isn't 8570D a part of an APU?) and a relatively old mesa.

Mesa 10.1.0 is already a year old, and the current version is something like 10.5.2.

I suggest you first try upgrading mesa to the latest version.

Ah, and if you had an NViia GPU on the same machine, maybe try a fresh wine prefix or fiddle with various wine options (i.e. you could have been using ARB shaders or some other tweaks you forgot about).

Well, the reason you have an old mesa is probably because your mint is based on ubuntu 14.04 which also has that mesa version.

You could probably find an ubuntu PPA with a fresh mesa for 14.04 (there IS one with the latest mesa and all the fancy stuff like gallium-nine, which you actually can probably use. I just don't remember it's name - try googling something like mesa ppa) and try plugging it in, though I'm not sure about the consequences. You'd also probably need a fresh kernel and a fresh Xorg (obtained in the same way). Aand if you want to try gallium-nine, you'll need a wine patched for that (also available in PPAs)/

Other than that I don't really know what's the proper way to get fresh stuff on mint. Well, other than building from source. Details on http://www.mesa3d.org/install.html , but you'll probably have to read documentation about debian/ubuntu packaging before that, because you'll be replacing the existing working mesa and video drivers which is SCARY. I've only done packaging with deb-sources, and that should be different from third-party source tarballs, so I can't give advices on that. Just remember to proceed with extreme caution and be ready to spend some time in console fixing borked drivers after a particulary bad make install (should get a separate working computer for that because you'll need googles).

PS: maybe adjusting various graphics settings (like shader quality) would help?

Better performance with an APU and video memory taken from the main memory pool?
Duh.

Though you can try gallium-nine. They say when it works, it WORKS (you may expect 50% performance increase).

Ar you may try fglrx drivers instead of opensource, but lately I don't think there's much point.
