Hi KEE and welcome to this board.

Could you, please, be a bit more specific on your situation?
The following information will be usefull to understand the case:
oolite version...
installation method (e.g. .package, .deb, build from source etc.)...
Linux distro...
Architecture (e.g. 32bit, 64bit)...
What did you delete?

O ok well that didnt work for long =( the game crashed after i put it to full screen. any ideas?I suspose i could just make another logon to play the game again. how would you reduce the screen settings using terminal?

In the .GNUstepDefaults have the 'fullscreen' value changed to 'NO':

Code: Select all

...
fullscreen = NO;
...
window_height = <*I412>;
window_width = <*I640>;
...

ya cant find that .GNUstepDefaults file. why wouldnt I have that i wonder. do you know where the directory is?

[Getafix]

~/GNUstep/Defaults/.GNUstepDefaults

[KEE]

~/GNUstep/Defaults/.GNUstepDefaults

nope, i got the folder but nothing in it...seems like something didnt not install properly

[KEE]

[KEE]

I just performed the instructions of the first post on Ubuntu 10.04. It works fine.

I suspect you have not properly cleaned your first installation before performing the second. I recommend to
a. keep a copy of your AddOns and oolite-saves
b. force remove of oolite folders.

Code: Select all

$ cd
$ rm -rf Oolite-dev
$ rm -rf .Oolite
$ rm -rf oolite-saves
$ rm -f GNUstep/Defaults/.GNUstepDefaults
$ rm -f GNUstep/Library/Caches/Oolite-cache.plist

and perform the steps from the beginning.

The only correction that I had to do is change line 27 of Makefile from:

Code: Select all

GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES=/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles

to

Code: Select all

# GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES=/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles

then I just executed

Code: Select all

make -f Makefile release
