Increase logging level

Palmski · Post by **Palmski** » Sun Jun 13, 2010 4:20 pm

I'm a total Linux n00b, been on Windows since forever.

However I've just installed the latest Linux Mint distro (based on Ubuntu 10.04) just to see what it's all about never having used desktop Linux before, and thought I would also take the latest trunk for a spin to see what that was all about also. Just to make everything more complicated I thought I would combine the two. Obviously I have run into some problems.

I installed the trunk by adding http://debs.oolite.org lucid trunk to Package Manager and installing whatever was there, I assume that's the way to do it .

I copied the OXPs from my 1.73 Windows install across and I've updated to 1.74-compatible versions of some OXPs that were showing errors and tried to load my 1.73.4 saved game but for some reason it is telling me that I don't have the correct OXP loaded for my Python ET Special.

The log doesn't show any errors for the neolite-companion OXP (that I can see):

I have the neolite-companion OXP installed so I'm a bit stumped without any logging to give me a clue as to what is going wrong. What do I need to change in the logcontrol.plist file to get more detailed logging information out that might help me?

I think I've loaded the patched gnustep version as suggested, so as far as I know things should work?

Ah nuts to it, I just noticed the big news that 1.74 is on general test release. I'll just reboot into Windows and run it there instead I think. Has to be the easier option given my relative skill level with each platform

When I feel like getting into a world of hurt I'll come back to Linux and try and get things working!

As is noted on debs.oolite.org, several bugs in the version of gnustep shipped with Lucid prevent Oolite from working correctly.

Please use the autopackage version of Oolite on Lucid (and any other distro running gnustep1.19.x).

Dumb question then, how do I go about doing that? I downloaded it and ran it but it didn't actually do anything that I could see - Linux confuses the life out of me by spreading files out into all kind of unexpected (for a Windows user) places.

After running, the autopackage install creates the folloing menu entry: main menu > games > oolite (IIRC, it will say just that at the end of the installation, including instructions on how to remove Oolite in case you ever wanted to do that)

Click the Oolite entry in the menu & you're done!

Palmski · Post by **Palmski** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 11:59 am

That's where things started to go wrong, I clicked said menu option and it didnae work cap'n. No splash screen, no logs, no nuthin' so I assumed it hadn't installed and tried the package installed route instead.

nvm, I'll come back and have another go at this another time - 1.74 is working perfectly under Windows so I'll just use that. I was just giving this a try so I could run trunk before it became a bone fide test release to see if everything was working before upgrading my main game, little knowing that I was only hours away from getting said test release anyway.

It was also an exercise in trying to figure out What Linux Can Do For Me. Thus far take up too much RL time when I could be gaming
