alpha 26 doesnt start ubuntu 22.04

[philterphil]

Hey everyone.
After a few weeks I wanted to enjoy a match but 0ad doesnt start anymore.
I installed the stable snap store version through the ubuntu software app.
Same problem after reinstalling the game.

After trying to start from terminal this is the message I get:

Hi! Which version was working for you? Could you attach logs and system info (files inside the .config/0ad/logs/)?

[philterphil]

This notebook is 3 or 4 months old and I only tried alpha 26 on it. But it used to work on this notebook like 4-8 weeks ago.
I attached my specs as an image.

The 0ad folder in .config doesnt exists... Maybe because I deleted the game and reinstalled it?

Today I tried to start it again and the error message I get is a bit different now...
Looks like something is wrong with the audio. But I dont have any problems with it.

Had the same problem. Could solve it simply with installing the right graphic dirver.

Edited January 6, 2023 by Matt1908

[ThomasCollignon]

Kind of same problem here. Specs :

• Ubuntu 24.04.1
• AMD Ryzen™ 7 PRO 4750U with Radeon™ Graphics × 16
• Oad 0.0.26-alpha

I've installed the Linux driver from AMD website: Radeon™ Software for Linux® version 24.20.3 for Ubuntu 24.04.1 HWE.

Now I can see these new lines in Softwares & Updates :

After reboot, in a terminal I launch 0ad an I get this :

Do you by any chance use the snap version ? It sometimes break the app in unexpected ways.

@oSoMoN

[ThomasCollignon]

Yes it has been installed through the App Center.

Can you try to use the distro package instead ?

[zyli]

A little note from me.

ThomasCollignon has Ubuntu 24.04.1, or 'noble'.
Since 'noble' there is no 0ad package anymore.

There are 0ad-data and 0ad-data-common. But there is no 0ad.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=noble&searchon=names&keywords=0ad 

The same case as Debian Trixie.

0ad can be installed on Ubuntu Noble - you have to take the 0ad package from 'mantic' and install it manually.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/0ad 
But first you have to manually install the libicu72 package (72.1-3ubuntu3) from 'mantic'.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/libicu72 
In 'noble' there is libicu74.

Both of these packages can be together.

I have tested this on Linux Mint 22, which is based on 'noble'.

Regards.

Postscriptum.
You may need to install dependencies: libenet 7, libgloox18.

Hi @Stan`, @zyli,

Sorry if my answer stings a little bit, but going through manual dependencies installation is not the way I'd use to install a game.

It's a fresh installation of Ubuntu 24, and the App Center was visible on the Desktop at first login, and, having a quick look into the apps, 0ad is the first one that shows up into the Games section. To me it means that 0ad is promoted by Ubuntu. It's normal that an Alpha version includes bugs, but I think it's not normal that, if an app is promoted, users can't even install it.

Do you know if other users with a similar pc also face the same issue ? Or is this bug a very sepcific case linked to my very specific pc ?

If I'm not the only one, I would expect a link to a page where such issue and possible fixes are clearly explained.

What's your opinion on this ?

Regards,

Thomas

[zyli]

Sorry if my answer stings a little bit.

If the problem for you is downloading two files (in words: two) from the Ubuntu repository and executing the command 'dpkg -i', then forgive me...
I suggest Windows.
Good luck.

Best regards.

Hey the reason it's the first in the list is because it starts with a 0. No other reason.

Maintainers have been working really hard to package it for the newest ubuntu but it took almost six months. Hopefully it will now be down in Debian testing which means it will reach ubuntu.

Ubuntu for some reason has decided that snaps where the way to go but they often have issues the normal package don't have because of their security features or compatibility. It's a game of luck on some machines it works fine, on other it does not. We currently don't have the means to test on many configurations.

We currently recommend normal packages because they have less issues.

[ThomasCollignon]

 

@zyli My main goal here is not to easily install the 0ad game, it's rather to give an end-user's feedback. I'm a FOSS enthousiast, and I'd really like Ubuntu to be as user-friendly as Windows. I'll try the packages and keep you aware of the result.

@Stan` I didn't think about the alphabetical order . Thank you for also enlightening me about the snaps, I thought it was a more robust system that it actually is.

Edited October 20 by ThomasCollignon

[ThomasCollignon]

Done :

sudo apt install libenet7
sudo apt install libgloox18

- download packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/libicu72, then

sudo dpkg --install libicu72_72.1-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb

- download packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/0ad, then install it via App Center (automatically started after wrong maneuver in my browser, I hope it's still valid)
 

 

- launch 0ad from the Activities overview

It works for me, the game starts .
Thanks guys

It's good that it went smoothly for you and you're happy

Regarding this inscription: "Potentially unsafe".
It's strange that this Ubuntu is oversensitive to packages from its own repository one branch lower ('mantic' vs. 'noble').
And somehow Ubuntu doesn't care about "Potentially unsafe" in the case of snap packages that it promotes so widely.
But never mind.

"Potentially unsafe" most often applies to older kernels, older web browsers, etc. when newer versions have been released.
However, in this case it does not apply to the 0ad package, which would be compiled on 'noble' from the same source (0.0.26) as on 'mantic'.

And why wasn't 0ad compiled on 'noble' (and also on Debian Trixie, Mint 22)?

Answer:

Because now in Debian Trixie ('noble' etc) the default python version is 3.12, which for some strange reason prevents compilation of 0ad (only 0ad, because 0ad-data compiles correctly).
It's only about compilation, because python is not needed to run 0ad.
It goes without saying that on 'mantic' python was in a lower version.

And that's why the 0ad package will not be in Debian Trixie (noble etc.), until this problem is solved.

News:
I think auspicious winds are beginning to blow:

https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/124266-0adpython312-%E2%80%93-a-positive-signal/

And that would be it.

Regards.

Postscript
Given that "Potentially unsafe" label, for peace of mind you can always handle "serious matters" on another ("Potentially safe") computer.

Same as snaps, flatpacks have specific issues.

I'm having the same issue here (Warning: No audio device was found). Running Ubuntu 24.04.1 with 0.A.D. snap. Shame there is no DEB installation for this game (at the moment). At least closing 0.A.D. and then re-opening again is a workaround until the Python issue is resolved.

Do you have any experience with snap ? Could there be a setting or something special that needs to be activated ? Do you play with earphones ?

Not really. I prefer DEB over snap simply because DEBS tend to load faster (especially when first run) and everything just works. I don't use headphones with 0.A.D. 

I can play around with the snap permissions but given that 0.A.D. loads fine on the second run, it seems more of a timing issue possibly. I'll have a play around and report back.
