I installed the wxLauncher out of the official packet-sources. But I can't launch the game I just get the message: "FS2 Open exited with status of 255"
Advanced Options are also unavailable because "The executable didn't generate a flag file".

Any suggestions or solutive ideas?

Thanks for any provided help.

PS: logfile attached

Edit: I tried to start it in the terminal

Code: [Select]

mozl@mozl-PC:/usr/games$ sudo ./wxlauncher

(wxlauncher:14486): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/mozl/.config/ibus/bus is not root!
execvp(/home/mozl/Games/FreeSpace2/fs2_open_3.7.2, -get_flags) failed with error 13!

What happens if you run: /home/mozl/Games/FreeSpace2/fs2_open_3.7.2 directly from the command line?

I can't because fs2_open_3.7.2 is not recognised as executable or unexecutable

Code: [Select]

mozl@mozl-PC:~/Games/FreeSpace2$ sudo ./fs2_open_3.7.2
sudo: ./fs2_open_3.7.2: command not found

chmod +x fs2_open_3.7.2
maybe. idk. you have the file there, right? it should have executable permissions.

Thanks, I din't think about this possible slution.
Nope not working. I already stup links forr the required document but still

Code: [Select]

sudo ./fs2_open_3.7.2
./fs2_open_3.7.2: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Do you have OpenALSoft installed? (although I thought that Ubuntu had it installed by default)

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install libopenal1

Alternatively, the FSO binary might be 32bit and you have a 64bit system, in which case you need to install the 32bit libs for FSO to run.  See my signature for a link on how to do that (32bit libs for 64bit Ubuntu).

or he can get/build a 64-bit version himself? when in doubt, always go 64-bit.

libopenal1 is alread installed, I alreadyy set up a soft-link in the FreeSpace2 direcory, named libopenal.so.1 pointing at the file libopenal.so.1.14.0 locatet at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.

I als tried out copying the libopenal.so.1.14.0 into the FreeSpace2 foder. And no, this problem isn't resolveb by just renaimin the file ti libopenal.so.1.

And no, this problem isn't resolveb by just renaimin the file ti libopenal.so.1.

Which it wouldn't be if it's a 64-bit library and you're trying to run a 32-bit FSO executable.

Thanks for the advice.
Now It works. I just had to get the packages libopenal1:i386 and libjansson-dev:i386.

Thanks a lot for the help. *thumbsup*
