Oolite Bulletins

I've come across a similar problem. Flying around the system in question, and no sign of the base. I realise that there's plenty of the system that I've missed, but flying the usual suspect areas has yielded nothing. Perhaps it is just *really* hard to find.

wow, thanks Rxke I had a google but I struggled to find the 80% alcohol. I can source the 99% isopropyl alcohol though. Would that also be ok for the plastics & rubber? art conservation - who'd've thought there was such a close link between that and shaving...? Isopropyl alcohol will be fine fo...

Heh - we could set up a food/furs - computers/machinery trade route, except the witchspace corridor along the A46 has serious maintenance issues at the moment

Just to let you know that my problems are (mostly) fixed too. I am an old codger who's forgotten most of the unix he used at university 20 years ago. I extracted the .tgz file to /opt/ and then just ran "oolite" from the terminal, and somehow it turns out that a version 1.65 from the repos...

Yep, did a clean install of Natty yesterday and have spent my spare time downloading programs and shouting/cursing at Unity... Slightly off topic, but I found that unity only lasted for a couple of boot-ups before I reverted to classic Gnome desktop - old tweed wearing codger that I am. None of thi...

Just following up my previous posts - now that I have the nightly build working, I have been using the classic BBC key layout (I was an old Acorn Electron elite player many years ago!) Now that I've put this version on after upgrading to Natty, the right and left arrow keys for yawing right and left...

Unfortunately I will be on GPRS bandwidth till this Sunday. This makes impossible for me to download and try-out Ubuntu Natty. :( @Mauiby de Fug: Are you on Ubuntu Natty too? @tenorman1971 and @Mauiby de Fug: For the time being, please, download the linux nightly that corresponds to your architectu...

Try removing the autopackage stuff : How to remove the Autopackage environment then follow this : New distribution-neutral package format I'm not sure there's a lot I can follow there, unless "about to launch" means something more to people with more experience of Linux than me. Removing ...

Just following up my own post. Have tried the autopackage route again through terminal, rather than just right clicking the package and opening with GTK package manager. This time I get the error message "g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream retur...

Just done the update from 10.10 to 11.04, and now find I can't run oolite. I was running version 1.75.1 with no problems under Maverick, then when I upgraded I found it froze. So, I uninstalled it and tried installing 1.65 from the repository. This won't even start up - even though it now appears in...
