Linux / Re: installing 2.4-1?

« on: May 14, 2012, 09:08:28 pm »

After removing UFO:AI from the software center, I got this error message upon trying to reinstall with the latest version

There isn’t a software package called “ufoai” in your current software sources

Any ideas?

The PlayDeb website reports that the version for Ubuntu 12.04 should be up to 2.4-1, but when I try to upgrade, it tells me I have the latest version. Why the disparity of information?

I'm happy you could figure out the problem.
Should I mention that the JDK doesn't affect the game? It's written in pure C not Java.

Damn, this makes me feel like quite the n00b that I am 

I was under the impression that most games nowadays were written in either C++ or Java, but a good thing that the older lingoes are still in use.

Well, I found out what had happened. Since I love to mess around with settings, my messing around with the antialiasing and anisotropic filtering caused the game to refuse loading properly. But I have to load the game in safe mode at the moment. It's entirely possible that I can run it without safe mode, but I'm still waiting to see how it performs now.

Those ask and answer threads around here give invaluable insight into what I've been doing wrong and I better start taking notice

I installed the game a couple of days ago and only got the blackout screen. I heard a bit of music at the start, but soonish it just froze and refused to continue any further.

I've tried everything suggested so far in this thread and nothing has changed in this regard.
I even went so far as to remove OpenJDK from the computer, installing SunJavaJDK in it's stead.
The most unusual thing about this all is that I had previously installed the game on my dinosaur AMD TBird 1GHz system 512MB RAM and a 64MB Nvidia graphics card and all is well there.

However on this much later machine, with much more powerful hardware, it completely refuses to comply with any of my attempts at running the game.

Any ideas?

Kind regards
Tomas

Update, I added the ufoconsole.log as well as the cfg files to this post, if someone can see any oddities within, since they are all new after the game crashed
