Linux newbie problem

Recommended Posts

Besides that, it might be ebtter if you would unzip the file in such a way that the directory info is preserved, rather than putting all the files in the same directory.

Well these are latest Nvidia provided drivers, but that cant be much of topic.

I will not switch to older package, taking in account problems I had instaling these.

 

I dont think that I ll be able to run this thing.

 

I have very bad idea how linux handles such things as graphic interface. (And cards etc.)

I know that in windows its DirectX, which is an attempt to write an universal interface to everything and part of the windows problems.

Hello.

 

Be that nice and:

Run X server (graphic mode if you already didn't that).

Then open a x console, enter directory whe is EL binary and

run it by:

./el.x86.linux.bin

And if it fails then paste whole output here.

(BTW: All files from Linux update already has correct permissions set.)

 

Regards.

Well thats what I m doing, I muff, but that much of it... :cry:

 

The game actually runs, error log is empty, but I m getting only green and blue horizontal stripes in the game window, instead of game screen.

Bash also didnt returned anything wrong.

Hello.

 

Upgrade/Install libXML2.

You should find it on your distribution FTP.

The Linux binary has been compiled using

version 2.6.9 of Lib XML2 othewise it was

failing. Upgrade to this version and then run

new binary. Make sure you replaced all old files

with those in EL update package.

 

Regards.

NOw the game runs, but I get rubish of tiles on game screen. As on the picture before, so nothing changed.

chmod 755 el.x86.linux.bin

Anyway files from update already has correctly permissions set so you

seems to changed it by mistake.

And if you install nVidia drivers from nvidia.com you need

change /etc/X11/XF86Config:

# This loads the DRI module

# Load "dri"

(This is not needed when you have nvidia driver)

# Section "DRI"

# Mode 0666

# EndSection

(same thing)

Need to find line where is:

Driver "nv"

and instead of it put "nvidia" and it should look

like that:

Driver "nvidia"

MAKE BACKUP of your existing XF86Config file

BEFORE making any changes.

That should cause your Nvidia driver to work properly.

 

Regards.

I Chmod the binary also, that was one of first things I did...

I m using NVIDIA drivers and have edited config -- I also get NVIDIA logo when starting X (I m using KDE then).

It seems to be that I have that config properly:

AS I said:

the game window opens. The bash desnt tell a thing, everything seems to be running good. Except - in the game window is rubbish of tilesets.

Picture is basically still the same:

When I run with cursor into game window, cursor disapears. I can do something with mouse clickin, but its not recognisable due to graphical problem.

Have you upgraded libXML to version libxml2-2.6.9 or higher?

Have you hash'd those three lines that I quoted you?

Hello.

 

Ok. Make sure you have decend version of libXML2,run:

ldconfig

then download whole game from: http://el.tfm.ro/el_099.zip

run the game. If it will be not ok then remove el.cfg from your .elc

dir and game dir.

If that will be not ok then we will try compile it from source

If it fail we will know what it wrong in your system and

if it will compile then it should work.

"Don't give up!" ;-)

 

Regards.
