Hi
I have the repository for UFOAI but when i try and install it in Synaptic i get the following message:
**********************************************************
ufoai:
Depends: libasound2 (>1.0.12) but 1.0.11-7ubuntu3 is to be installed
**********************************************************
Any suggestions as to how to fix this (i am pretty new to Linux).
Many thanks

Hi Voteslave:
I have the repository for UFOAI but when i try and install it in Synaptic i get the following message:
**********************************************************
ufoai:

I downloaded the packages libasound2 and libasound2-dev (versions 1.0.13) from the Debian homepage and installed them with dpkg, and the UFO installation worked fine.
The pages are:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libasound2
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libdevel/libasound2-dev
Choose your architecture (i386, I presume) and then a mirror.

thanks raster - willl give it a go
so in a terminal i just type:
> dpkg libasound2
and
> dpkg libasound2-dev
or is there more to it than that?
Thanks
PS if i use dpkg what does that also update what i see in Synaptic?
-
edit - having a go now
-
Ok - that worked fine - thanks
well sort of - it allowed me to install the game but it won't run
it just kicks me out of X and i have to log in again - i had a similar problem with another game in windows which i got around by changing the resolution to 1280x1024 in a config file - however i can't find a config file with this in
any suggestions?
thanks again
edit
as ita a different problem i think i will do a separate post
-
hmmm
just realised that installing those .deb sound packages has stopped all my sound from working - i think it must have uninstalled something
did you have a similar problem and if so how did you fix it?
thanks
-
I have a fully functional sound system :? I'm using Ubuntu Edgy.
Have you used dpkg -i libasound...? or just dpkg libasound...?
-
hi raster
i think i used -i, though i may have used it without the i first but nothing happened
maybe i have different osund card and sound packages insralleed?
-
using edgy here too, was getting the same dep break and installing those packages worked.
