NEW Ubuntu user if you installed from the Ubuntu repo README
Welcome first off even you don't register and even then just so you can see and download any attachments and don't bother the post But if you have any problems/questions feel free to post i try to keep this place civilized and friendly.So on with the bad news the version you now have installed is using our data set from the 0.4.3 release and the 0.5 binaries but modified to use said data set this set is 5 years old As our current stable release was considered too large for the repositories of both Debian and Ubuntu but it is available from GetDeb in there games category we are near the bottom of the page alphabetical order Thanks to Christoph Korn that is not the only option we have been adding content since that release so yes we are an even bigger download so keeping our selves out of the Ubuntu repo so if you feel adventurous you can check out the svn version using this copy/paste guide on our wiki written by MC707 our new svn evangelist some of that content can be looked at from when they where works in progress here on the forum in the Artwork & Content Vetting and Content Development sub-forums there are some new audio voices for the comm messages directed at you you can find these in Music and Sound Collaboration all this because i believe in informed users so they can make there own decisions with all the facts that i can provide.And if you have a problem or question about any of these options please post in appropriate area or I'll move it
Now a few other considerations you will need full 3D hardware acceleration so get the restricted drivers for your ATI/nVidia card the latest version you can as some of the earlier versions had issues with VS
Also Compiz will conflict with the game in full screen mode so turn off the eye candy as it will eat at your system resources while VS is trying to grab them all Yes we are a memory hog working on putting it on a diet though

EDIT: there is no Jaunty Jackalpoe .deb yet so i will update this when there is and i have a report that the Intrepid .deb will work on Jaunty

Re: NEW Ubuntu user if you installed from the Ubuntu repo README
There should there be no changes necessary really as distro updates don't usually break things that much not sure if JJ is using gcc 4.4 but if so ace123 committed some changes to the build scripts to detect it's presence and deal with the needed changes for it thanks to one of our members trying to compile svn on fedora 11 which uses it.

Ah, ok, then I think the link on GetDeb needs to be updated to show up for Jaunty.

Ubuntu full screen dumped to window: a Fix for compiz
Thought i would post a fix here.
i read some fixes for Ubuntu fullscreen; when playing on full screen with compiz, VS goes whacky (at least on my system) every 3-5 min.
I had the same problem with Battle for Wesnoth, and posted the issue here and there.
A very pleasent Wesnothian said to: system-preferences-apperance- and turn visual effects to none. this shoot compiz in the knees. no more fullscreen dumps to window.

This be because this bug in compiz. Clicks or keystrokes aren't detected in fullscreen SDL programs such as VS. Therefore it tries to activate the screensaver but fails at a constant time period. It was recently fixed but I haven't tried updating compiz yet.

Would it be possible to split vegastrike-data into 2 packages e.g. vegastrike-data1 and vegastrike-data2? It's a shame that it's broken in Ubuntu. Thanks for all your hard work

Re: NEW Ubuntu user if you installed from the Ubuntu repo README
Just in case someone else is trying to find that pesky .deb file, I found it on the legacy GetDeb site under Intrepid: http://old.getdeb.net/search.php?search ... vegastrike (If I had read carefully I would have known to look under Intrepid in the first place, as it was stated that the version there should also be filed under Jaunty - and Karmic.)
I hope the deb works as advertised, because I can't seem to fix the rar. *crosses fingers*

Re: NEW Ubuntu user if you installed from the Ubuntu repo RE
You would get better performance using any flavor of Linux as Linux and X-windows has a much lighter memory footprint so there's more room for VS to run VS is a memory hog one of the config variables defines how many systems are modeled at once.And getting to build the latest code from source code SVN repo and also with the latest of the art as well doing so is not that difficult even if you don't know what the @#!%$ is going on Lots of guys about that can walk you through and there are instructions on the Wiki and your hardware may not take to Ubuntu's new Unity desktop so I would recommend Xbuntu is just Ubuntu with a different window manger remember that their are several window mangers for Linux that choice thing in my sig just think of those poor guy's running Vista that bloated memory hog had so many services running it choked even dual-core CPU's Win7 has much better memory usage what I using ATM as I still have connectivity issues with Linux

Re: NEW Ubuntu user if you installed from the Ubuntu repo RE
Good plan Redmond does't play nice with other OS's.I have done the same for quite a while
That and HD are relatively cheap now I have a 2Tetra drive that I gave 500Gb to Win7 and the rest to /home for my fedora install on a 500 Gb drive,I could run 8 or nine other Linux flavors if i wanted to again that choice thing.
When you get that drive have look at using a separate /home partition for ease of upgrading Xbuntu every six months so that your data and the OS are separate

Re: NEW Ubuntu user if you installed from the Ubuntu repo RE
Is there any way to install this on ubuntu 11.04 (64bit) ? I have downloaded and tried just about every file listed for vegastrike with no joy at all.
Is there a working .deb file or any plans to get it sorted out? or is it working fine and I've managed to get myself into a confused muddle somehow?

Re: NEW Ubuntu user if you installed from the Ubuntu repo RE
No idea, but fresh SVN works on the same. Oneiric has an ugly GLX-wrecking bug, so check whether other GL-using 3D games or tests work at all.Stryke wrote:Is there any way to install this on ubuntu 11.04 (64bit) ?

If accelerated graphics does run normally, check libs and try single-CPU affinity (e.g. "taskset 02 vegastrike").

Re: NEW Ubuntu user if you installed from the Ubuntu repo RE
We'll have an 11.04 deb for the beta2 release. The beta1 doesn't build for 11.04 (I've been trying, but changes in gcc make it complain about a few missing headers).
SVN builds just fine, though, so for now I believe SVN is your only option.

Re: NEW Ubuntu user if you installed from the Ubuntu repo RE
Hi, my first post and problem
I have tried compiling, it got through okay.
I have installed from .deb, installation went okay.
BUT,
I get this output in both cases:
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 on a laptop, I am guessing it has some to do with the 3d drivers? It's got an intel video chipset onboard.
Any help appreciated!

Welcome aboard charrco it's saying it can't find the data directory(where all the game assets are)so how did you install the data(where is it in the linux file system)so you don't those fragment/vertex program errors turn of shader support with the set up app.

Re: NEW Ubuntu user if you installed from the Ubuntu repo RE
The .deb are split in engine and data packs. You probably didn't install the data packs (named vegastrike-data, vegastrike-music, vegastrike-extras, etc)

vegastrike-data 0.5.1.r1-2 package is installed. I downloaded the deb files from the site and installed from cli after the compiled version gave me the same message...
I was ruler of the Universe once, and now I cannot even install! I used to install the game from synaptic, now I can't... It feels like a regression to me... Or am I missing something obvious here?
Thanks for your help.
