Oolite Bulletins

mandoman@mandoman-5800 ~ $ ~/GNUstep/Applications/Oolite/oolite It seems that your operating system does not have a valid timezone name configured and is using an abbreviation instead. By comparing timezone file data it is has been possible to find the actual timezone used, but doing that is a slow...

Okay, I now have removed Oolite using the Package Manager, and have downloaded and installed the 64bit version from the Oolite download site. The sound is fine, and it is detecting all AddOns. However, the video is still jerky. I don't understand that, as I've got two Intel Pentium 4 CPUs, running a...

I think what Diziet meant was, didn't you install it from Synaptic or Software Center? Using one of those would be the way to remove it if that's what you used to install it to begin with. LOL!! That's what I meant too. Seems I didn't remove it correctly. I'm on my laptop right now, so I'll look in...

Umm.. since you installed it with a package manager, you should have uninstalled it with the same tool, not from the terminal.[/quote]

I did. dpkg --remove oolite, dpkg --purge oolite. I believe that is correct, or am I mistaken?

Interesting. I purged it from my system, but it still shows up in /usr/lib/Gnustep/Applications. http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k515/mandomank/1c537315-13ff-415a-b1aa-6eb1a2c3c727.png Why does the file still pyhysically exist in the /usr directory, even after having purged it from the system us...

Okay, Thargoid, you were right (as usual). I must have triggered "strict play" a couple of times ago when I was trying to exit the game. Weird. Getafix, forgive me for not doing as you asked, but I decided to purge my system of Oolite, and then re-install using package database. Unfortunat...

For the add-ons case, could it be that you are using a symbolic link "AddOns" to point to an actual AddOns folder? We had a case, sometime in the past (not pointing fingers here! :) ), where add-ons could not be detected because oolite installation is replacing the symbolic link AddOns by...

Well, I'm back with even weirder news. First, I have reached the conclusion that my GeForce card is bad. However, the on-board graphics are amazing in itself, so Oolite should be a cinch. There's only a couple of problems. Not only do I now have no sound in the game, but the game is no longer detect...

I will take your advice in a day or two. I have installed the GeForce card, after receiving the software from the builder, and loaded Windows on the other drive. Only problem is that Micro#$^@$#^ doesn't like the driver. Not even the one from the NVidea site. The card is not set up right, so my Linu...

Wow.. I didn't know anyone was still using SB Live cards.. :shock: Given the motherboard needed to handle those CPUs, etc, I'd have thought the onboard sound would be better than anything a SoundBlaster could produce.. I think we're missing something here.. what is the make and model of the motherb...

And I'd also double-check the .ogg files are actually there (go look using Nautilus or your file browser of choice). If so try playing them manually (outside the game) to confirm that they are installed correctly and haven't been corrupted somewhere along the line. Also did you completely uninstall...

I just put a new semi-gaming computer down in my shop area. It has two 3.5GHz processors, 4GBs RAM, and other good stuff. I'm running Linux Mint Mate 16 64bit on it. When I downloaded, and installed Oolite 1.77.1 64bit, the graphics were very jittery, but the sound was fine. So I decided to uninstal...

Cheers.

Noted, and repaired. Thanks for the heads up. Thanks for such a kindly way of helping.

Thanks, guys. That stupid hippie ship is actually my favorite one.
