mahela007 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I have recently reinstalled 0Ad alpha 23 (ken Wood) and the multiplayer lobby is always empty Has something changed since i last played? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC (naval supremacist) Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 i think there's an update of the 23, so you may re-download the file. Also, the ban hammer is very active, so lot of players are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcoma Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 If you use linux, your distro has old binaries, should be a23b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahela007 Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 How do I get the new version? It's not in the repositories and there are no .deb files available for download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcoma Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Ubuntu? use ppa binarieshttps://play0ad.com/download/linux/#a0A.D.providedpackages or build from source (takes time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahela007 Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 I tried the repository given in the download page sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wfg/0ad But I got only alpha 22, not alpha 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcoma Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 There are Ubuntu players in lobby. State your distro and version and tag a big guy like @Stan` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 That's strange indeed. Did you, after adding the ppa run: $ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahela007 Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 I did run update but not "upgrade". Moreover, if the package is out of date, it should be listed in the update manager right ? There are no available updates for 0ad either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Upgrade is what would actually update the package to use the latest version. 34 minutes ago, mahela007 said: Moreover, if the package is out of date, it should be listed in the update manager right ?

smiley Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) `sudo apt install 0ad` after `sudo apt update` upgrade might use the priority list and pick the one in universe or backports or something.

This is what I did. Will try to update again and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahela007 Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Well, the official version in the repository is alpha 22. But on flatpak, there appears to be a newer version; Although the version number is not specified in the software manager, i suspect the version is 23. However, I tried installing this on another PC and I still do not see any players in the lobby. I'm not sure what else to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 There is actually a third version, that's on flat pack, and should be on the PPA, and any ubuntu with up to date packages. 22 Venustas 23 KenWood 23.1 Re-Release KenWood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahela007 Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) Yay..! Finally got it working. Somehow, the repository hadn't gotten added and the older version of 0AD which was in the official ubuntu repositories had been installed. I Should have stopped to check that first. Thanks for all the help (and sorry for wasting your time. ) Edited December 7, 2019 by mahela007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's the problem.. but as far as I know, mint and Ubuntu use the same repositories. and anyway, since I added the repository I mentioned above, this shouldn't be a problem, right? No it should not be an issue. Have you tried uninstalling everything, adding the ppa, running apt-get update and upgrade, then installing 0ad?
