ardvark71 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hi all...I just tried to install 0ad again and I noticed the game wasn't showing up in Synaptic even though I reenabled the PPA. in Software Sources. I'm guessing this is because 10.04 is longer being fully supported. But is there a way I can download the packages of the old alpha 11 game from somewhere? That is what I had last.Thanks!

raymond Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Upgrade to minimum 12.04 LTS: http://play0ad.com/download/linux/#UbuntuOr try the PPA repository via terminal. Edited October 30, 2014 by raymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardvark71 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) Hi...I don't think my laptop (an HP Pavilion dv9830us made in 2008) would run 12.04 very well along with the fact I don't care for the look of Unity. Apart from that, why upgrade from an OS that has been pleasant to use and very reliable overall? At the point in the future when I absolutely I have to upgrade, it would need to be a lightweight distribution like Lubuntu or Puppy. So there is no package anywhere on the net that is what I'm looking for? EDIT: I see this page here but I don't see any debs.Regards...

leper Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Apart from that, why upgrade from an OS that has been pleasant to use and very reliable overall?Because the support for that version ended on May 9 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight32 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Try Linux Mint if you don't like Unity.The main thing is enough RAM - looked up that laptop model, it has 4GB, which is plenty. Mint 17 will run well on 1 GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niektb Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Or even better, install Lubuntu. 512MB RAM is enough to run that distro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight32 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Actually, the Cinnamon, MATE, and XFCE versions of Mint will all run on 512 MB, but 1GB is recommended. The KDE version calls for 2GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
