Title: issues wxLauncher on Ubuntu 14.04LTS
Post by: cahdoge on June 14, 2015, 01:48:54 pm

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

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.

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*
