Oolite Bulletins

Apologies for the delayed response… This morning, I have opened up the Chromebook - all seems stable… I opened Oollite from the prev installed icon - and all worked fine! I have messed about in the game for a couple of hours (been obliterated repeatedly - my fault - never checked system status/rulin...

There’s no rush - just whenever you get a chance - hopefully this is not becoming too much of a headache!

Quick update...

I tried reopening the Terminal - and after some time it got around to allowing me to type.

Tried the "glxinfo -B" command, got the following response...

[===========] Ready
jonwoolrich@penguin:~$ glxinfo -B
No protocol specified

Error: unable to open display :2

Here goes... Followed the instruction to enable GPU Support Typed the "glxinfo -B" command into the (penguin) Terminal - Accelerated: YES :D NOTE: On startup, a DEBIOO window opened briefly - I minimised it - and it disappeared? I tried opening Oolite (from the previously installed icon) a...

Apologies for delay to update (inconsiderate work commitments!)

Will attempt the detail above later today and feedback.

MrF - see below (I did have to input the "sudo apt install mesa-utils" detail - or the "glxinfo" returned nothing) jonwoolrich@penguin:~$ glxinfo -B name of display: :0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer): Vendor: Mesa/X.or...

Its a slightly older model.

This is the spec....

Good morning!

Its an Acer Chromebook 714
CB714-1W-390Y
Model No: N18Q10

Have a good day!

So, believe it or not, I am in the game! It never really went as planned, and there are issues(!), here is what transpired!... I don't have the Debian log on screen - just the regular Chrome log on screen. There are no options to log into a different environment etc? I thought "do i need to hav...

No worries - I'll wait out before attempting anything further

*I definitely don't have an option (cog) to choose a different desktop environment!

*Obligatory thanks for time and effort!..... Well.... I have definitely gone backwards here... Disclaimer: I don't understand a lot of the detail contained at 3.19pm post I'm afraid. My takeaway was to attempt the XFCE DE install (which I did using the second method below) On completion of install, ...

So - a degree of success! I have managed to install the game (raw method - drag and drop into the terminal didn't work) - however - when I try to open using the installed icon - nothing happens. The first time I tried to open it - I got the the 2 pop-up screens - one saying "as it's your first ...

TY Cholmondely - if I ever get this install weighed off - I'll see you in the stars! MrF - firstly (again!) - thank you for your time and patience! I think I need a little more hand-holding (Who knows how I might cope with a docking computer if I ever get to it?!!!) I have downloaded the "test&...

MrF - thanks for swift reply. I think this "may" be more of a "user" error than programme one?! I don't think I'm completely(!) sure of what I need to download - and then what I do with it?! I have the .tgz file downloaded - but cant seem to do anything with it except open the co...

I'm trying to install the game to my chromebook without success! I have downloaded the Ver 1.90 file for Linux - but can't get any further than that? Am I missing something obvious?! Edit: I have been thru the guidance at wiki page etc, but cant seem to run the downloaded files? I have Linux Version...
