Re: Ubuntu problems

First off the make install is only if you want to install it system wide so all users have access to it which i would not recommended with any svn software period as the code may change and or the data as well that means that everything would need to be un-installed before any update so that's why i recommend running in user-land.But putting it in system-land does avoid those symbolic links ;) And i never bother with any of the configure arguments except enable-debug every once in awhile as it doubles the size of the binary but is required when real debugging is needed but since there have not been an changes in so long now why bother and configuring with the data directory is also not needed most of this may also be because MC707 is himself a relative newbie to Linux as well :wink: And i think the second section is intended as an expansion/explanation not to repeat the procedure.Sorry for the bit of a rant.

Enjoy the Choice :)

Yep I'm relatively newb too. If you know these things, you might consider updating my (ehem, yes, our) ubuntu guide, giving the wiki nature. As I said, I based the ubuntu guide on the howto:checkout SVN, and I did everything it said. If there is something you consider should be changed, then do it for everyone's sake. Nevertheless, the ubuntu guide works (at least for me and the people I have asked to beta test the guide).

In the end, I will try the guide myself again with the newest kubuntu and see whats goin on. :|

Okay, so I've followed the instructions in the Compile section, up to and including make install.
I've not done the configure --with data and configure --with boost lines that followed below.
I guess this should suffice?
Now, how do I undo the make install?, make clean, then make?

Code: Select all

sudo make uninstall 
Should work as we use a standard make file.

Enjoy the Choice :)

Progress!
The music is all broken up, like 1/10th of a second bits and pieces strung together at high speed.
Hard to describe.
After launching into space, same thing. Oswald sound like talking through a telegraph machine.
Then, after a couple of minutes, the sound fixes itself and oswald and music sound smooth.

I'm going to try the other configures, down in Configuration, and make again, see what happens.

You're right; I switched from "My Linux Sound" to "All Linux Sound" and now it works.
Thanks all!
Now I got two problems left: The music is much louder than Oswald's speech; and the mouse is too sensitive.
But I guess these questions don't belong in this thread.
