Title: [SOLVED] Cannot launch Diaspora, wxlauncher problem, Ubuntu 12.10
Post by: tryfon on March 03, 2013, 07:21:25 am

Hi, I installed diaspora from GetDeb but even though the pro00099.ini file seems to be correctly configured I cannot launch the game. The wxlauncher does not recognize the root folder and does not accept it when I try to set it manually.
I faced the same problem before when I tried building the game from source and the problem persists with the prepackaged .deb files.
Help please!

Ok, after a little chat with the guys at #Diaspora I managed to solve the problem. What I did was:

1. Delete the proflie Diaspora from wxlauncher.

2. Delete the file pro00099.ini and replace it with a new one from the template making sure the default path is set correctly:
    folder=/PATH/TO/YOUR/DIASPORA/FOLDER/HERE
    to
    folder=/home/<your_username>/Diaspora_location

2. From a terminal issue
./wxlauncher/build/wxlauncher --add-profile --profile=Diaspora --file=pro00099.ini

./wxlauncher/build/wxlauncher --select-profile --profile=Diaspora

3. Relaunch wxlauncher
