Oolite Bulletins

Yup, changing an working executable with yours is the safest way ... as long as it compiles

[Slackware here, didn't hear of makepackage, and not using it] This is my build "wrapper" (after the initialization as recommended by README.md -- mainly for the submodules): git pull git submodule update . /usr/local/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh make -j6 debug=no use_deps=yes (gcc 9.2.0 at th...

[...] I need an alternative Shiny to erase the memory!

You got me shocked: who is Andy Warhol and why does he sound like Lou Reed? ... until I noticed "The Velvet Underground" below.

Hah, old dinosaurs up, and alive! Drew, DaddyHoggy, and they also mentioned Selezen, but didn't see his name in the chat. I guess we can now be sure, if there ever was any doubt, that Drew betrayed Oolite for E:D :twisted: Quite candid to see him not recalling most "elementary" keys, and the fact th...

Yup, the exhaust is doing some serious grilling there

Yup, 1.9.14 is the version I have installed here. I cannot say I know too much of the inner works of the software, but it seems it has somehow been revamped from what they call "JACK1 design" (see their README.rst ). Although I didn't compile it myself, the way Slackware (my Linux distribution) prov...

[...] Jack2?... When I search for 'jack' in synaptic package manager, it says I already have libjack-jackd2-0 ver 1.9.12.dfsg-2 (latest version) installed... Just want to be sure that I know what you're saying. ('jack2' is apparently not available anywhere in the MX Linux repositories.) When I didn...

Whew, good job! [...] Your solution is now documented here, at least (with a slight typo corrected: 'GNU' -> 'GNUstep').[...] Good catch! [...] Thank you, once again, Commander_X, for all your effort for my sake.[...] You're welcome! [...] You certainly seem to know your way around a Linux Oolite. <...

I installed MX Linux in a VM (quite the struggle!), and my first launch gave me a similar message with yours, and an almost identical Latest.log file (besides the detection of graphics, and timestamps, of course). It turns that the fix is to "switch" the espeak library from the OSS/ALSA/Jack (?) ena...

[...] However, I don't quite understand what you mean by "picking what's needed/expected from the installation"...? That mainly means that Oolite installation provides for libraries your system might either not have, or not have the adequate versions, and the listing confirms it (the ./oolite-deps/...

Well, from the looks of it, you should be picking what's needed/expected from the installation.
Did you have the chance to check if OpenGL works on your system? E.g. what happens if you run "glxgears" (as the player user) in your terminal, do you see them munching in their window?

[...] Oolite was not installed when I ran the "find" command last night, and posted the results here above.[...] Oh, at least you ran it (unnecessarily ;) ) after you installed it as the player user into your home folder. Again, no-output is good. Next thing is to check how are the libraries lining...

[...] So, I cd'ed all the way back to /, and then did the "find" thing again. [...] Whew that might had taken a while :) No, I didn't want to peek over your filesystem(s), I just wanted to know if in your home folder there was any file not own by the user that's supposed to play Oolite. No output i...

[...] I've run out of options, as far as I can think, at this stage. [...] but I do most of my work in Linux, because I hate L0$e-doze, and rebooting back and forth is just not going to cut it for me. [...] Being myself a "Windows cutter" lately, I can hear you about desperation (although most of t...

[... ] I don't know if it might be part of the problem, or useful at all, but Nvidia drivers don't work for me on Linux. I have an ASUS i7 ROG laptop with an Nvidia GTX 1050 (4GB GDDR5), but using the onboard Intel Graphics 630. [...] Whew, this looks like an "Optimus" dual graphics hardware setup....
