Installing on Linux

[»doc flabby]

The easiest way to run Continuum on Linux yet.

 

Someone split + sticky this if you like it

 

THIS GUIDE OF FOR UBUNTU/KUBUNTO IT MAY WORK FOR OTHER LINUX BUT I HAVE ONLY TRIED IT ON HARDY HERON UBUNTU x86.

It shouldnt do any harm but as normal i disclaim all responsibiliy if it does!

If you dont trust my binary recompile wine and patch it yourself

 

 

1. Download standard installer from GetContinuum.com. http://getcontinuum.com/downloads/continuu...uum040Setup.exe (not the wine one)

 

2. Run the installer, defaults are fine

 

3. BEFORE YOU RUN CONTINUUM DO THIS

 

Download this file. (its attached to this post if the site is down)

wget http://subspace2.net/kernel32.dll.so -O /tmp/kernel32.dll.so

Make a backup of the existing file.

sudo mv /usr/lib/wine/kernel32.dll.so /usr/lib/wine/kernel32.dll.so.old

install my dll

sudo cp /tmp/kernel32.dll.so  /usr/lib/wine/kernel32.dll.so

 

4. Run continuum from your start menu (other OS may have different ways to do this )

 

5. PLAY

I get an external exception 6BA on every file that it tries to install (the Continuum installer on Step 2).

That sounds like a permissions problem. Check your .wine folder is writeable and DO NOT RUN AS ROOT

[L.C.]

Setting the folder permissions to maximized freedom of read, write, create, and delete isn't helping.

which version of linux and wine are you using?

and which user are you running the installer as?

[L.C.]

Wine v0.9.59.

Ubuntu 7.10 (I'm having some difficulties upgrading to 8.04, but progressing on it).

Running the installer as normal user (qwerty@Qwerty:~$).

I'll see if can setup 7.10 on my computer later this week to test it. I think 8.04 uses wine 0.9.59 too however.

 

This thread might be interesting, as it has the same problem in a diffrerent program http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-677939.html it suggests the .wine folder could have become corrupted

You might need to uninstall wine, delete your .wine folder, then try reinstalling wine, then continuum

Get Continuum-wine site updated with this option as well as another option provided recently by Guest1017.

[L.C.]

Reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch because Ubuntu broke itself (how ironic ). Upgraded to 8.04 from the clean 7.10 install and installed Wine. Doc flabby's method works.

You should put the installing from source and patching option on that list, since its almost guaranteed to work.

Continuum ran once, but then I got a popup saying "Fatal error 000004bc." Reinstalling doesn't work.

 

Edit: on the continuum-wine website, it says "KUBUNTO"<-- theres no O in Kubuntu =?

(Although I can't affirm this for WINE, but this is true for Windows)

Either restart Continuum, or restart your computer and the problem should fix itself. Otherwise, it's probably because a firewall is blocking Continuum.

Ensure you only run continuum after you have installed the patch.

 

If you have run it all before you installed the patch, you will need to reboot your computer.

[Gannon8]

It runs once, but then I have to restart my whole computer if I close it and want to play it again. It's just annoying.

And I get a bad framerate. Maybe it's because my graphics card isn't working with Ubuntu.

Which version of ubuntu u running?

Hmm it sounds like a graphics problem, what card do you have? Also have you tried changing the bit depth in continuum settings?

Bascailly for some reason continuum isnt shutting down properly when you exit.

 

If you use the command "top" (q to exit)

you should be able to find the PID for Continuum

then issue KILL 1234 (replace 1234 with the pid), and it should kill the continuum process and let you run it again.

The Kubuntu misspelling has been fixed on the Continuum-wine site. Thanks for pointing it out.

Ubuntu Hardy, and I did your directions exactly (apply the file after installing but before running).

I also believe that my framerate is because of my graphics card, and I'm currently getting help on it @ the ubuntu forums.

I can't find continuum or wine in top, and I tried killall continuum, but it said nothing was killed.

[Gannon8]

Instead of using top, how about:

ps -e | grep Continuum.exe

 

It's a lot easier to read

I read the thread, but alas... it is only in a failed attempt to find a way to play Subspace on a MacBook

[Samapico]

If I was you, I wouldn't put your email in your name... Don't wonder why you start getting spammed when the crawl bots find it out

I'd edit it, but I can't, only thing I can do is delete your post.

[»Xog]

Okay, I've asked Gen2ly to make some changes so that I can run it in the new wine version (1.1.33 aka 1.2) and he told me to make a post on the minegoboom forum. No luck there, nobody's responding.

 

Anyone want to spend some help doing this? I'll be sure to come back here if I ever find a fix -_-

[kid]

i can't run in windowed mode properly and some zones don't allow me to use my max resolution, so it looks bad if i played in fullscreen at the resolutions they allow.

 

 

anyone have a solution?
