paolo@paolo-desktop:~/Scrivania$ sudo oolite
[sudo] password for paolo:
sudo: oolite: command not found
paolo@paolo-desktop:~/Scrivania$
this is the response for sudo oolite...
GNUstep there is in v.1.16.3 that is the lastest
i've tried even to change the access options in the right-click menu of the oolite-savings folder, but nothing happens
very strange... at this point i'll really try to reinstall from normal repository and not playdeb...
=)
edit:
reinstalled, started, saved... oh no, i mean, not saved... still don't work! risigh '=)

Ok, my bad - looks like the environment gets modified when you invoke
sudo and removes the /usr/games path.
Can you do:
if that doesn't work, try:
This should give you the full path to the Oolite startup script. Then:
Code: Select all
sudo <output from previous command>
or, all in one:

Hmm, something on your system seems to be rather broken, GNUstep a likely candidate eg, /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/print_unique_pathlist.sh should exist. In fact, that might be the main problem - if GNUstep (and hence Oolite) can't determine paths correctly, who knows where it's trying to save files to.
What version of Xubuntu are you running? I'll install a test system and give it a shot, see if it's endemic to Xubuntu, or just your system. I'll also try out the version of Oolite on that website you mentioned and make sure -it- doesn't do anything nasty.
I guess one last thing to try - start Oolite, then when saving, using Ctrl-<Enter> to go up to the root directory (keep selecting ".." until you can't go further), then Ctrl-<Enter> on the "tmp" directory, and then try to save there. That directory is always writeable to everybody although anything saved there doesn't survive a reboot - this is just a test.

xubuntu 9.04
oolite 1.73.4
thank you, all those efforts for a single report..!
saving in the root directory don't work...
[dataCache.willWrite]: About to write data cache.
[dataCache.cantWrite]: Failed to write data cache -- prerequisites not fulfilled. (This is an internal error, please report it.)
well i don't think oolite is the problem 'cause i've reinstalled it from synaptic...
yes it's possible that the package is the same, in fact i think it is and if it is so can't get why i am the only one that cannot save things...
maybe i should try to install the stable version, 1.65 i think...
concerning xubuntu it is (xubuntu fans don't kick me please!) a troublemaking OS, but just to understand each other this is good for learning linux things and tricks..! even when you must reinstall the OS and lost all the data... '=)

Good morning
No, the root directory won't work. in fact, it should never get touched
I meant, go up to the root, and from there into /tmp - the Temporary Directory.
Anyway, have downloaded Xubuntu, installing now..

Update: Ok, I can confirm that a vanilla install of Xubuntu 9.04 + the Oolite package from 'playdeb' is broken. Will investigate further.

And, while the same warning about "print_unique_pathlist.sh" occurs using our version of Oolite, it works and saves correctly.
MrMonday:
the following steps will install Oolite from our package sources, and as far as I can tell, it should work on your system (it did on my test system).
Step 1 - Add the Oolite package repository to your software sources:
Got to "Applications" -> "System" -> "Software Sources"
Select "Third Party Software"
Deselect the "
http://archive.getdeb.net" software source if it exists
Press "Add"
Type in "deb
http://debs.oolite.org/ jaunty test"
Press "Add Source"
It'll prompt you to update packages; let it.
Step 2 - Uninstall Oolite
Open up a Terminal window
Type in:
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg --purge oolite oolite-data
It'll prompt for your password, give it.
Step 3 - Install Oolite
Now type:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oolite

Hmm, seems they might have a quality-control issue though - haven't had time to look further into their version of Oolite but when I find out exactly why it's broken (and whether it's endemic to this package, or specific to Xubuntu) I'll let their maintainer know.

Looks like the issue is that playdeb don't package the "oolite.app/Resources/Info-gnustep.plist" - when this file is missing, there's no version info displayed, but more importantly there's also no saving of games or the application cache.

And the guys at playdeb are pretty quick - they've now got a fixed version online.
print_unique_pathlist.sh: not found

Hi, all.
I was so excited when I opened my new, shiny, gleaming, slick laptop. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and that is where the problems began with my new, honking graphics card. Long story short, I got my graphics card finally working for my system. I went to run Oolite (1.73) and set it to run in fullscreen mode- which then made it crash.
Now, whenever I try to open it, it crashes after the splash screen. Running in the terminal, I get this error:
/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh: 291: /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/print_unique_pathlist.sh: not found
dmwelch@laptop01:~$ /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh: 296: /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/print_unique_pathlist.sh: not found
/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/ld_lib_path.sh: 42: /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/print_unique_pathlist.sh: not found
/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/ld_lib_path.sh: 71: /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/print_unique_pathlist.sh: not found
/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh: 359: /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/print_unique_pathlist.sh: not found
/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh: 423: /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/print_unique_pathlist.sh: not found
So I need the print_unique_pathlist.sh, apparently. I've reinstalled both Oolite and gnustep on my machine, to no avail. Help, fair spacers! What can I do?
