well thats it, it doesnt even load one screen. any ideas?

[kapbepucm]

how about el.ini file in your game folder?

[Guest james]

i am new to ubuntu, and linux in general, where would the game folder be?

[Guest james]

in usr/games I have el.x86.linux.bin

[revi]

have a look in ~/.elc

(where the '~' represents your home directory)

[kapbepucm]

ls /usr/share/games/EternalLands/el.ini

 

idk where put game folder in ubuntu eternal-lands.deb package, I use manual instalation

Post the method you used to install the game.

Do not run regular applications as root, may cause problems (that means do not log in as root).

Installing the game using the deb package will put the following files into the following path:

- The binary path is /usr/games/el.x86.linux.bin

- The data folder path /usr/share/games/EternalLands

- The personal data folder path /home/yourname/.elc (Places->Home--->View tab->select->Show hidden files [Ctrl+H for short]). Here you find el.ini file.

[Guest james]

i used the "quick install" way as I am a total noob. Im running ubuntu studio, does that mean I should use the one marked debian?

[Guest james]

last night, I removed and installed again via synaptic package manager. same problem, no el.ini

[Guest james]

have a look in ~/.elc

(where the '~' represents your home directory)

nope, no el.ini

I dont know what most of that means, still no el.ini

[kapbepucm]

find / -name el.ini

[bluap]

If you initially ran the client as the root user or via sudo then you will have created your ~/.elc directory and not have permissions to access it as your normal user. While logged in as your normal user, open a terminal and type the following command exactly (copy/paste would be good). This will correct the ownership of the files if they are incorrect or be harmless otherwise.

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME/.elc

[Guest james]

thanks bluap, I did what you said, and had to enter my password. then tried to launch from apps/games/eternal lands and got the same error message as before. any ideas?

tried it, and i get massive permission denied

[Guest james]

ok, i made another user, and it started! I got thru the rules, and to the log in screen. I named it, and made a password. It crashes now when I click new character. heres my messages:

well crap duh, that was copied to the other users clipboard DoH! brb

 

it was something about a GL kernel not parsing or something like that.
