X-Plane 10 performance comparison Window vs. Linux

[tknudsen 26]

I cannot seem to get past Disk1 of my X-Plane 10 when installing on Linux Mint 14

 

Disk 1 installes perfectly, but when it says "put in disk 2 and wait for it to load, than press continue" nothing happens..

Anybody know what to do?

Is the drive still mounted? I remember having a similar issue when installing on Ubuntu last spring, can't remember exactly what happend though. I think you need to mount and unmount when you remove the dvd, my memory is bad., but I think it was something like that. :mellow: Just check and see if the dvd drive is still mounted.

Maybe it was you have to "eject" the disk, don't just push the button on the physical drive, geez my mind is leaving me.

Yes, it is a pain in the butt. I run a 3 monitor Eyefinity system. If Nvidia had a reasonable / viable option to run 3 monitors, I would buy the card faster than I could get my wallet out of my pocket, unfortunately they don't. When Nvidia offers a single card, 3 monitor solution, I will be the first to buy it. Forcing people to use 2 cards for 3 monitors is ridiculous these days.Glen

Matrox Tripple-head-2-go. It is a simple way to make one output feed 3 monitors, and the computer treats the 3 monitors like it is just one big monitor.
