CB Linux Installer, finally done

[Karosh_Steinkatz]

It wasn\'t the full update, only a part of it. The other part was corrupted during the upload, so I had to put it up again.

whats teh diffrence between cb linux
 and linux?

[sekhmet]

I suppose you are refering to the 2 linux threads, Karosh his CB Linux installer is a binary installer, based on Loki installer. The other Linux installer thread is a build script too compile PS from CVS source.

[kriller]

But what are you supposed to do if u use windows xp and get the character crash?

[Karosh_Steinkatz]

Geez, this is the linux installer thread. For windows problems there are enough other threads around *sighs*

[Bobkat]

I think they were linked by the character crash thread (the one where you commented about linking to the top of the thread) and do not understand that this is a linux thread.  Of course I thought that link was just a subtle hint that if your having problems you should probably switch to linux  

excellent job on the installer btw Karosh, thanks again

I just did a psupdater , still the same wrong PS version message.

Is the update up now?

Do you have the 3.006 version? In that case, read the first post in this thread, and download the new updater, then update.

[Jordz]

I\'m running 3.007 and just downloaded - unpacked that file.

Still same error message.

I\'m running Gentoo linux with the 2.6.10 kernel.

Thanks!

(P.S: A few days ago planeshift got to the caracter creation fine, but then I had to go , and when I next tried I had this error message)

But even when I get planeshift running it\'ll go slow as hell, Linux does\'nt support 3d for my card, so it does software rendering :-(. I\'m buying a new card soon.

[Karosh_Steinkatz]

Did it download new binary files? Did it show an error, like a needed program missing? Can you post the content of update.log or upload it and post a link?

[Natrina]

Hmm.. mine doesn\'t work as well, the problem of the updater:

./updater: line 110: curl: command not found
./updater: line 111: curl: command not found
./updater: line 112: curl: command not found
: Done

: Checking for updated binaries
: Done, cleaning up

rm: cannot remove `update_*.md5\': No such file or directory

You should warn the user and stop the process of updating when the \"curl\" is not installed, otherwise it will silently continue despite not downloading the files.

[Karosh_Steinkatz]

It does a check on the needed programs:

Code: [Select]


# check for needed apps
 if ! [ \"`which curl 2> /dev/null`\" ]; then
  echo \"ERROR: curl not found in path!\"
  fail=true
 fi
 if ! [ \"`which bunzip2 2> /dev/null`\" ]; then
  echo \"ERROR: bunzip2 not found in path\"
  fail=true
 fi
 if [ \"$fail\" = \"true\" ]; then
  echo \"ABORTED: Please install the needed apps and run the updater again\"
  return 1
 fi


It worked so far. Which distro do you use?

Hi,

Im new to linux and running mandrake 10.1
I downloaded PlaneShift_CBV0.3.007-1.x86.run and tried to run it but all i get is:

[ian@localhost ian]$ sh PlaneShift_CBV0.3.007-1.x86.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Planeshift Crystal Blue..........................
[ian@localhost ian]$

I\'ve been searching these posts but im not sure what im doing wrong or what i should be doing

Could someone help

[Jordz]

I did anouther update later and that fixed it.

Well.. It\'s still only doing about 1 frame a second, I really need to get a new graphics card. But It let me start playing so that\'s good.

P.S : While i save, is there a way to turn of textures or something major to get it running at at least 6 frames per second?

Galihad: I ran mine with ./....

Also, as root run chmod 777 planeshift... , but I don\'t think that would make a difference - It should come up with Permission denied if there is a permission problem.

Also, are you in X? ( The Graphical Enviroment)

[Karosh_Steinkatz]

Galihad:

Check if the dir \'psinstaller\' exists where you ran the installer. If yes, run setup.sh there and see if it works or not and post the output then if possible.
If it\'s not there, run the installer with \'--keep\' and do the same.
Edit: do you have gtk installed?


Jordz:

Check if your direct rendering is enabled with \'glxinfo |grep direct\'. What\'s your gfx card at all? If it\'s an ATI, trash it immediately
Btw, the installer runs also in console mode with a ncurses GUI if X is not running.
