Installing through APT on Ubuntu Natty Narwhal 64bit

MartinMartin
edited 2011 Sep 2 in Technical Support
I did read the "Read This First!" notice, and did search the forums. I've also Googled it, and come up with solutions not applicable for my particular distro. I'm very new and inexperienced with Ubuntu, and I just want to play my WADs. I know Doomsday has an APT repository, which for me is so much less scary than the prospect of SVN and all that stuff. Seriously, that end of Linux usage makes no sense to me at all. Might as well be Mayan glyphs.

My problem is basically this; When I go to dengine.net and click on the Ubuntu icon on the right, and then click on the top option "Doomsday 1.9.0-beta6.9 (Stable) Ubuntu 11.10+ : Release notes". It opens up in Ubuntu Software Centre, with a page displaying "Not Found: There isn't a software package called "Doomsday" in your current software sources".

Now, I know what this means, I need to add some lines to my respositories through Edit > Software Sources on the USC. However, my efforts Googling these lines turned up results for older versions of Ubuntu. Basically, can someone give me the correct repositories to add for my system? See my sig for my specs. Hopefully this will be relatively painless and I can start playing my WADs again. Thanks in advance!

    To use that version, you need to be running Ubuntu 11.10 or higher.
    Currently Ubuntu 11.10 is in beta.

    If you are using an older version of Ubuntu you will have to compile it yourself.

    you can download a snapshot of the the most recent unstable release. extract it.
    and compile it, you can find instructions how to set up Ubuntu to compile deng here http://dengine.net/dew/index.php?title= ... ted#Ubuntu

    With 64-bit Ubuntu you are probably best off running the latest unstable releases ("unstable" means that it gets updated twice every week). First click here:

    http://www.dengine.net/wip/unstablebuil ... ntu&bit=64

    Then install that .deb with Ubuntu Software Center (or manually with, say, apt-get). After that you should be able to launch Doomsday via the Applications menu or by running "launch-doomsday". The .deb will also install the Doomsday repository address on your system so you'll get the updates automatically.

    NOTE: Doomsday is not yet fully debugged on 64-bit systems, so you may run into some crashes. The 32-bit builds are much more stable, but currently we don't offer a 32-bit build of Doomsday for a 64-bit OS. Good luck!

    Thanks, skyjake! Doomsday is now installed on my system. However, it crashes in-game (regardless of which WAD I'm using) when I click "NEW GAME", and set my difficulty. Just as it appears to be loading up the level, I'm kicked back out to the desktop. Thoughts? Is there some kind of log file I can show you guys which may have the problem in?

    That could be one of the 64-bit crashes in Doomsday that I mentioned. One thing you could try is experimenting with options in the front-end to see if anything makes a difference. Debugging the 64-bit build is on my to-do list, but currently it's less important than getting the multiplayer up and running.

    The runtime log files should be located in ~/.doomsday, maybe there's something in doomsday.out that would be of interest.

    I tried to attach this as a file, it wouldn't let me because of the extension. Sorry.

    W_CheckIWAD: Init aborted.
    That indicates the log is from a time when the IWAD was not specified. However, if you managed to get to the New Game menu, then the IWAD must've been loaded already. Are you sure that's the right log? (check file time)

    Nothing else seems to be wrong in the logs, so it could be that the only solution is to wait for the 64-bit to be fixed...
  • MartinMartin
    Fair enough. With respect, the 64-bit Linux version shouldn't even be made available if it doesn't work, which it doesn't. It's not like a minor bug. It's a huge game-stopping one.
  • swirlypillowswirlypillow
    I've got the same issue. Snowberry loads, and the .WAD will load and let you choose a difficulty level. Then, it crashes to the Desktop. Any chance this will be resolved sometime soon? I'm itching to play some Doom II. :)

    I finally got a suitable moment to see what's wrong with the build, and turns out the fix was quite simple. However, I'm sure there are several other similar glitches in the 64-bit release... Let me know how Friday's build works for you.

    Cool, it works now! Want me to let you know of any other bugs if I run into them? You really should keep the 64 bit version going strong...computers these days are starting to use more 64 bit OSes.

    Its more a question of priorities. Yes, we want native 64bit builds to work as well as 32bit builds but the reality is that they presently account for a tiny fraction of the total installed user base.

    By all means submit bug reports to our bug tracker, we'll get to them sooner or later.

    Will do, and thanks for your hard work!
