[patch] Game not starting on Mandriva 2010
« on: November 08, 2009, 10:39:59 AM »
It appears that version 1.41 of the game does not run properly on Mandriva Linux 2010 unless some of the shipped libraries are updated to their latest versions. To do this, please download the following patch: linux-libs-patch.run.tar Extract the linux-libs-patch.run file somewhere (e.g. to the Desktop) and then run it to update the libraries in /opt/WorldOfGoo/lib{32,64} to the latest versions.

This should resolve the problems discussed in these earlier topics:
 - world of goo 1.41 crash
 - Game not starting on Linux x86-64
Thanks to everyone who reported and helped resolve this problem. If you're still having problems, let me know!

Tried that with the demo version and after many problems, installed the patches.

Still did not work. The Start up screen comes up but the first chapter does not run.

I, sort of, might like to at least see what this game does.

Oops, that's not something that should happen.

Apparently, you are already root, but the script doesn't recognize it. What happens if you type echo $USER on the command line? Does the same thing happen if you run the installer as an unprivileged user (and then enter your root password)?

As root, you should be able to install the patch manually as follows (assuming the game is installed in /opt/WorldOfGoo, as it is by default)
./linux-libs-patch.run --noexec --target /opt/WorldOfGoo
rm /opt/WorldOfGoo/install.sh

I'm running openSUSE 11.2 (64-bit) and got the same segfaults as in the other threads. When I tried the patch I got the same stream of "please enter password" messages as dimitrisg. "echo $USER" echoes my username, and openSUSE uses what I think is a fairly standard "sudo to root using the root password" convention. Running the "-noexec" command for the patch through "sudo" to get root permissions works fine and the game runs, although my TV just says "unknown output" because it doesn't like the res/refresh. Now I've just got to tweak the resolution to find one that my TV likes!

Thanks for the patch!

For all with the "Enter root password"-issue:
You have to become root with the command
Code:
su -

Than you'll see if you type
echo $USER
it will say root.

Then the script works.

I've updated the patch to fix the problem with the repeating password prompt. Let me know if you're still having problems. Smiley The file contents didn't change, so no need to run it again, if it worked for you before.

Add some details, please. x86 or x64? What does your console say? How about the log? Are you sure you used the patch correctly?

Patch fixes World of Goo Demo perfectly on Fedora 12 x86_64
« Reply #10 on: March 20, 2010, 04:12:50 PM »
Excellent! The patch worked perfectly on Fedora 12 x86_64. Except for the little detail that if you run the script 'out of the box', it tries to look for the directory /opt/WorldOfGoo/ but I had installed the WorldOfGooDemo, so to correct this I only had to rename the directory

Code:
#mv /opt/WorldOfGooDemo /opt/WorldOfGoo

And then run the script

Code:
#./linux-libs-patch.run

And finally change the name back.

Code:
#mv /opt/WorldOfGoo /opt/WorldOfGooDemo

P.S. I wanted to help out linux begginers and I hope this post helps them.  Grin

I see here that there is a fix for version 1.41 under Mandriva 2010.  Unfortunately I have version 1.40 (RPM) of the bought version and while the patch operates OK, the program still give the segfault error.  My issue is that I don't understand how to get 1.41 version. I do not have a record of my transaction, but I do know that it was downloaded from the 2dboy site.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

TIA

To get the latest version you have to re download the game via link that 2dboy sent you. If you can't find it try manual email bot
If you bought it form here, just re enter you data, and wait for the email with the latest update.
After you installed the game, download the libraries provided on the first post here

hope i helped Smiley

Absolutely fantastic!!! Cheesy

I'm very happy now - all went just as you described and I can now play.  I'm not a very good player, but this is one brilliant game and they say practice makes perfect...

Thank you for the excellent support.
