SoD for Debian/Ubuntu

[Boehm]

One of the staff mentioned wanting this so I put this together;

SoD with Debian/Ubuntu

A couple of notes,
- This thread is here so players who might not know about the wiki can search for it.
- The lib32 dri path issue for 64 bit linuces appears to be fixed for both nividia and ati cards
- I will add other large distributions as time allows.

*I would like to thank Rari and Fuwok for their help.

Any idea if it's possible to use target rings in Ubuntu 10.10? I have Nvidia geforce 7900GS, which worked without any bugs in Windows, but now the rings are gone (I oddly enough didn't forget to enable the 3d target rings in game!)

And I have yet more problems!

When 2boxing, I have to left and right mouseclick in a client before I can actually control that character, otherwise commands still affect the other client (in the background). I followed the instructions and wrote different scripts for launching each client.

Is it possible to switch the keyboard language in wine?

Thanks!

Hi Tinkaa,

I don't know if this can be of any help but I've written an alternative guide to running SoD with Wine.
It involves installing a Windows Virtual Machine.

Thanks a lot, but I just reinstalled Windows solely for this purpose and will install Ubuntu to use for everything else, I guess.

I just saw this and I only use ubuntu for some work projects because of it's support for some obscure windows file formats.

96% of what I do is on debian. I have target rings and the only issue I have tabbing is an occasional keybug which touching the alt key once fixes. The same issue occurs when only one character zones. Given the ease of fix, its not a big deal since i've never had to /q to fix it like in windows. This is on debian 5.0 (old stable ) -> current testing.
