I did everything the tutorial right, but any keyboard inputs don't work, only the mouse.
Wine version 1.1.33, ubuntu karmic 9.10

Which is a pain in the ass, I know. Keep restarting Wine, try a different window manager (Alt+F2: `metacity --replace`). You'll get it eventually.

Hey everyone!
I've modified the tutorial on linux-gamers.net to add a method to run the dedicated server on a machine that doesn't have X. Here's my version:

Basically the gist of it is:

wineconsole --backend=curses cmd.exe /c haloceded.exe

Used in conjunction with GNU SCREEN, this is extremely useful.

Just installed ubuntu on an old machine I had laying around. I doubt it can even run the game but this will be my go-to if I ever get that shit up and working

Hello everybody, I know the thread is very very old, but I thought you could help:

I recently installed Halo CE on ubuntu 13.10 with playonlinux and it runs just fine, except for the fatc that I can't see the bottom part of the HUD, I can't see what I'm typing in the console xD

Other than that I can't see the "shield effect" when I shoot elites or other spartans. Is it a known issue or it happens just on my machine?

I have a dell Inspiron 17R 7720 with nVidia Geforce GT650M 2Gb

Thanks in advance for all the help

For your first problem: That's a normal issue, and not isolated to Linux. It happens when you're using a non-standard resolution for the game. Can you see the normal game chat and the like, or what you type after sending it? If so, try a lower / 4:3 resolution instead of a higher 16:9 one.
