Technical Help: IN GAME bugs (after loading world) /
« on: January 12, 2005, 06:28:37 pm »
hey folks,

still busy fixing up my os after the crash i caused...
i\'d greatly appreciate notes on the exact installation procedure, or debian-friendly
installation packages.

Can\'t wait to start spooking around on the ps world.

ciao,
Nedhrys

hey, confused, i\'m not even that far yet...

in trying to install libogg (for libogg-dev) which is needed by libvorbis, i used a .deb file. As a result, my installation manager shot himself in the foot - purged hosts of system files, including its own executable version and most of the kde.

there\'s me trying to reinstall the whole thing, after searching for more than an hour for a usable console...  

but now, finally, i\'m back together again, and most everything seems to work.

If anyone knows how to avoid that kind of a freak-out, please lemme know.

Meanwhile, I\'ll try to actually get some work done...

ciao,

Nedhrys

gorbulas,

you speak in an arcane tongue that i have not yet mastered.

I suspect that all will become clearer with time, and bear your advice in mind.

in the meantime, would it make sense to copy libvorbis to the working directory, or can i point to the location of libvorbis?

thanx,

nedhrys

thanx again gorbulas,

cvs seems to be working - i managed to install it.
The console seems to indicate that cvs is now busy updating a whole bunch of files.

Still trying to figure out libvorbis. I located the file in my /usr/lib directory.
I\'ll see how far i get with my aimless groping...

ciao,

Nedhrys

ok, gorbulas,

i\'ve tried to run the commands on the debian-client page from the console.
 first, it doesn\'t recognise libvorbis-dev, although the other commands in the first section seem to work ok.

then, for the second section, the command starts with cvs.
after sniffing about the net for a while, i suspect that this is the concurrent versions system. Does not seem to be installed on my machine - it tells me:

\"florian@XANVBQS7U53:~/crystalbluedev$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/cal3d login
bash: cvs: command not found\"

so what now? I\'ve tried finding the cvs program - but again, it\'s mostly rpm\'s, which my system seems to choke on.

I need to figure out how to install from  targz files, is that it?

thanx for taking the time...

thanx, Gorbulas

It seems that the xandros rpm installation manager first transfers the rpm to deb, then tries to install.
 
I\'ll try your advice. The link seems like it\'ll give me a lot of useful background info.

ciao,

thanks, folks

I did the mkdir thing, as root, which worked ok. Tried to reinstall -  

still getting error messages though:

\"Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Deb.pm line 727.
warning: unable to add ownership fixup code to postinst as the postinst is not a shell script!
libcal3d_0.9.1-2_i386.deb generated
2 not fully installed or removed.
Done.\"

anyone got any good ideas here?

thanx, folks

hi voidinit,

i\'ve now downloaded all of your rpm\'s.

I logged in as root, and ran all the rpm\'s in the order you suggested.

However, the Xandros installation manager moaned about various files it couldn\'t find.

Here\'s a quote:
crystalspace_b0.99-3_i386.deb generated
/var/lib/dpkg/info/crystalspace.postinst: line 9: /etc/profile.d/planeshift.sh: No such file or directory
/var/lib/dpkg/info/crystalspace.postinst: line 10: /etc/profile.d/planeshift.sh: No such file or directory
chmod: failed to get attributes of `/etc/profile.d/planeshift.sh\': No such file or directory
 Xandros Networks has detected the following error:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
 Xandros Networks detected errors while processing the following file(s):
crystalspace
 Xandros Networks has detected that dpkg has returned with error code (1)
Please retry your installation.
Done.

Got similar messages while installing the other rpms.
Sorry, but I\'m really a complete newcomer to linux and have no clue about programming, compiling, etc.

Do you have any useful suggestions about how to sort this one out?

Thanks,

Nedhrys

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / updater
« on: January 05, 2005, 11:34:48 am »
hi there,

I\'m about to install cb on my xandros linux distro.
voidinit posted the relevant rpm\'s on his domain, but has advised me that the newest version of cb is not compatible with the versions of the art and data directories on the server, and that i might have to wait until the updater has been reworked.

would the patch mentioned above help me get the relevant data?

where and when do i find an up-to-date updater?

thanx for the help,

Nedhrys

thanks, voidinit.

I\'ve not installed any version of planeshift or crystal blue before,
so i\'ll probably have to get all the art, etc new. Would be really great if you were to post the relevant data as rpms too...

Currently, i\'m downloading the second rpm mentioned on your first post - CystalSpace.

Seems to be downloading fine.

thanks again for your time in this.

ciao,

Nedhrys

hey there,
thanks for building these.
Can\'t download them now, though - when Mozilla connects, nothing happens until it times out some minutes later - are you no longer online?

Did you resolve the difficulties you encountered?

Are there mirrors of these rpms up elsewhere? Or perhaps bit torrent files?

Thanks,

Nedhrys
