Hi lanser,

Thanks for the tip.  I did, however have trouble with the install when I ran it as my normal user.  It might have been OK after I executed scriptwrapper.sh or whatever it was called.  I think that it  was what the installer failed on.

Hi treor,

Thanks for the translation, I thought the steps might have been Gentoo specifc.  I\'ll have a go porting it to Ubuntu.  I may need help on that, I\'ll see how I go.


Thanks,

OK, I\'m back.

Can somebody please explain the post by treor?

Am I supposed to have a dev-games folder or something?


Thanks,

Update:

It looks like my problem might be elsewhere:

glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect


I\'ll see if I can sort that out first.

Hi,

I seem to have the same graphics problem, but I didn\'t quite understand the steps in the last post.  Does somebody feel like translating it for a newbie?

I\'ve done:

unset CEL
unset CRYSTAL

but it didn\'t help.


I\'m using Ubuntu 5.10.  In Synaptic Package Manager, it lists crystal space as uninstalled (V 0.98). Could this have something to do with it?  Does the PS installer not take care of this?


Thanks,
curious

Problem solved.

In case anybody else needs to know what I did:

1. Install PS as root.
2. Add normal user to the games group.
3. Restart

Seems pretty straight-forward doesn\'t it?

Now I just need to figure out my graphics problem, it seems similar to the problem in the \"Problems with graphics engine\" thread, so I\'ll try following those suggestions.


Thanks once again,
curious

Thanks for the help, I\'ll have another go installing it.

I\'ve gotta say, this is a great project.

Linux Specific Issues / Installer Permissions Problem
« on: March 10, 2006, 12:47:56 am »
Hi,

I tried to install on Ubuntu 5.10.

Initially when I ran the installer, it couldn\'t create opt/planeshift.

When I ran the installer as root, it installed OK, but as a normal user I didn\'t have permission to run the updater or start planeshift etc.  I didn\'t want to risk running planeshift as root.

I tried installing it as a normal user, to a folder in my home folder.  There was an error at the end of the installation and the scripts weren\'t in the planeshift folder (updater etc.)

Where am I supposed to install it and with what permissions?  Are there going to be any problems if I don\'t install it in the default location? ie something expects it to be there, and doesn\'t work properly if it\'s not?


Thanks,
Curious


PS. I am a bit new to Linux, attempting to divest myself of Windows.
PPS. I did this last night, hopefully I am remembering the details properly.
