0 A.D. And Ubuntu 10.10

[themixturemedia]

Hey there I was running Ubuntu 10.10 and download the game via the ppa from launchpad. It installed but the game will not start up right. I can get to the main screen and then it shuts down. This sucks I am not going to downgrade to play this game.

Did you install the development snapshot PPA ( https://launchpad.net/~wfg/+archive/0ad.dev ) or the Alpha 1 release PPA? Because the latter is not compatible with Ubuntu 10.10, the development PPA should work fine on 10.10 (I had some trouble running the game, but that's due to a bug in the Nvidia graphics drivers and not 10.10 or 0 A.D.) as will the upcoming Alpha 2 (should be out very soon).

I download the ppa from launchpad. I can get to when the game menu starts up then the program crashes.

Hello,

I am on Ubuntu 10.10

Currently having similar problem.

The start screen , some cool music, but then a seg fault.

I have downloaded the SVN code using the instructions here

http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions

and have built the game from the code there.

But am getting the same error as described.

Is there an error log somewhere on my system that may give some information ?

Is there a special debug mode that I could try to run?

Thank you for your help and time!

I am old and tired. Thank you for this response that explains my issue as well.

I will try the launchpad snapshot.

I get this error on ubuntu when trying to use the PPA

Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/wfg/0ad/ubuntu/di...urce/Sources.gz 404 Not Found

Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/wfg/0ad/ubuntu/di...d64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I am guessing this due to my amd64 processor not being supported.

I will wish you well and wait until I can get build going.

That's due to the fact that the first Alpha (which was released in August) didn't support Ubuntu 10.10 (out in October if I remember correctly), the second Alpha will though and it's due out very soon, so you shouldn't have to wait very long for it (There may still be things which cause it to break as 0 A.D. is still in development but at least it's updated to work with the new version of Ubuntu )

As for the other errors you'll have to wait until a programmer has time to reply as I don't know enough to help you with those.
