skol 27 Report post Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) As we have a decent number of Linux users in the community, I would be great to collect the experience, for which distros/configurations it could be managed to run VintageStory. Please share in the comments your working VS linux configuration in the following way: Distro / Kernel release : Ubuntu Studio 16.04 LTS / 4.4.0-127-lowlatency Mono / .NET package version : mono-complete 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-7ubuntu4 Graphics driver version : NVIDIA binary driver 384.130 (proprietary) Works for client, mp server or both : client + multiplayer server Installation method used : server.sh Hacks (if needed) : server.sh needs at least wget version 1.17.9 (not in the standard repo of Ubuntu 16.04) Edited June 10, 2018 by skol 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After closing the window or hitting the quit button, the program doesn't actually exit. Have to ctrl-Z it, then kill %1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had to enable fedora updates 28 repo in order to get mono-core-4.8.0-14.fc28.x86_64 because it has not been pushed to fedora 29 repos yet. The latest for fedora 29 is mono-core-4.8.0-12.fc28.x86_64. Which has an error when trying to run cert-sync. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rhyagelle 14 Report post Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Vintage Story Version: 1.9.6 Distro / Kernel release: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS / 4.18.0-20-generic Mono / .NET package version: Installed mono following guide here (version installed is 5.20.1.19) Graphics driver version: (AMD) Padoka Works for client, mp server or both: (clientside tested only) Installation method used: mono Vintagestory.exe & install.sh* tested (both work) Hacks (if needed): Following the guide here resulted initially in various openal32.dll, OpenTK.dll and libopenal.so.1 errors that depended on each other. The installation would error out and drop a non-working shortcut on the desktop. The fix was to install mono-complete, ca-certificates-mono on top of mono-devel and install libopenal1, via the commands: sudo apt-get install mono-complete, sudo apt-get install ca-certificates-mono, and sudo apt-get install libopenal1. Execution of mono Vintagestory.exe completed without error after that.*Also worth noting is if you got the mono method working but the install.sh doesn't work (e.i, the desktop shortcut isn't work) and you'd like to avoid heading to the game directory to use a command to launch the game every time you wish to play, you can create a simple sh with the mono Vintagestory.exe command in it, save it to desktop, and have it act as a "launcher" itself. See spoiler for more details. Spoiler This "hack" is for people who couldn't get install.sh to work and thus have no shortcut to work with and do not want to open a terminal to play all of the time. To create the sh script, open gedit and paste the following in it: #!/bin/bash cd path/to/vintagestory/install && mono Vintagestory.exe Save it on your desktop as Vintage Story.sh or whatever you want to name it, but be sure it ends with .sh. Also make sure that you get your path set correctly to wherever Vintage Story is installed (for example, mine was installed to home/USER/ApplicationData/vintagestory) and that the start of the file has "#!/bin/bash" in it without quotes. Next, execute this command in terminal. What it does is allow .sh (scripts) to be executed by double clicking them or by right clicking them and selecting run, rather than opening a terminal and cd to a directory or prompting for the .sh itself. It'll allow you to use the script like a shortcut to the game, so you don't have to use the terminal.Terminal Command: gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences executable-text-activation 'launch' Next, right click the Vintage Story.sh you saved to desktop, go to properties and then permissions and check the box next to execute. Close it. Double click the .sh and the game should launch provided the actual game installed for you without a problem. Enjoy. Finally some system related information from the testing. The game runs exceptionally well, better I think than it does on my Windows machine.
