PS launcher doesn't work

[Jantaro]

Okay, after accidentally making a symbolic link called "libssl.so.o.9.8" and feeling like an idiot, I did it correctly and now it's whining about libcrypto.so.0.9.8, so I'm just gonna do the same thing until it works. Or until another problem appears.

Edit: Made another symbolic link (it needed libcrypto.so.0.9.8 and I had libcrypto.so.1.0.0) and now I'm back to the original flood of errors.
Hopefully that might help refine the fixing process.
Thanks for all the help.

Edit: For the record, it still doesn't work; any ideas?

I've just created new installers which ship with a version of libcurl which does not require libssl.
Please download and try it, hopefully it will work for you!

All right, I'll try those (or rather, I'm pretty sure I want the x64 one). Thanks a lot!

Crud, I can't uninstall the one I had originally, apparently that isn't working either. Is there another way to get rid of it?
Because /opt/PlaneShift/uninstall doesn't even exist. Where did it go?

[Jantaro]

Uninstalled, reinstalled, ran, and got this again:

you can update using pslaunch --console and run the game using psclient
both programs are in the install directory. The openal bug is still with us.
if the update does not work you can try --repair.

For the record there was an update today which wouldn't take for me until I --repair. I am now at .5.2.1 and pslaunch or planeshift  which calls it gives me exactly the same error you have but the game runs fine when called by psclient.

You have been the victim of some unfortunate timing in that the new client (.5.2) came out right after you tried to install the game and there were a few problems with it.

If you got the openal thing after using psclient you need to go into planeshift.cfg and make that change again as I suggested in my first post. Openal can be turned off in the game proper but it cannot be turned off for the launcher.

[Jantaro]

Running the console didn't do much, it said everything was up to date. When I ran pslaunch it gave me the usual, and psclient gave me this:

I'm gonna go fix that config file and see if it does anything.

Okay, I changed the line so it ended in ".software" and this happened:

I guess I'll try ".null" now...

HAHA! EAT THAT YOU SILLY CODE! I WIN!
In other words, the damn thing finally worked with a few errors, but the main screen appeared w/ servers and such. Thanks for all the help, I'll tell you if there are any other problems.

[bilbous]

Check out this link, It is possible to get the sound working in linux. The openal problem can be eliminated.

[Jantaro]

Hmm, I placed that file where it belongs, but when I do the whole ".null",".software",".openal" thing, it still doesn't work unless it's ".null".

[bilbous]

Odd, but perhaps you are not using an alsa backend for general sound processing. Pulse audio might be doing something different or perhaps your sound card only has oss drivers.  It is important to note as well that the . is actually part of the proper name of the file .alsoftrc so if you left it out that might be why. Oh and if you uninstalled the openal and you want it to work you will have to reinstall it. It doesn't help to add a config file for an app that isn't installed.

I still haven't got my fedora working so maybe I'll take another crack at that to see if I can find what difference there might be. Did you locate the config file in the /etc directory?

[Jantaro]

I don't know what you're referring to about the /etc thing, but I know that I did name it with a "." and openal is still there. I'll take another look at it tomorrow. Thanks for the help, I had a lot of fun playing today.
