Desura - Linux games portal Subject description: linux equivalent to steam |
|
desura is kind of like the linux equivalent to steam. a games portal where you can download and install linux games. some games are free and some are paid for.
the clever thing is that it downloads the games and it dependencies to the desura folder and runs the game from there, using the library path inside the folder.
you can download desura here http://www.desura.com/
you'll get a root warning but just ignore it
make sure that the desura folder is on the harddrive and not in /root/
In slacko you'll also need thishttp://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-13.37/libraries/ORBit2/2.14.19/ORBit2-2.14.19-i486-1.txz

I installed it in puppy linux 5.3.3. But only one game that I have installed works. Like when I try to start urbanterror, I get this in the terminal:
ioQ3 1.35urt linux-i386 Dec 20 2007

You probably need this:
http://code.google.com/p/mywolfe/downloads/detail?name=libGL.so.1.pet&can=2&q=
Of course there is a good chance that once you install that, it will want something else. Such is the nature of gaming I have found. I will just keep searching for whatever libs it tells me it needs until the program finally works. So far Puppy handles it just fine, and you can install .deb files, so things that are only meant for Ubuntu or Debian will work on Puppy.

you'll need to install your graphic drivers, in slacko 'slickpet'>>'drivers'>>>'test' and install what it suggests.

This looks neat but...
Any idea what's up with this?
The console in desura said:
12:26 Failed to load cef library: 11
12:26 CEF_CreateCookie is NULL. Failed to set cookies.
12:26 DS: Version: 0.0.3.38
12:26 Failed to load cef library: 0
12:26 Failed to load cef library: 0
12:39 Failed to load cef library: 11
12:39 Failed to load cef library: 11
And the main page is blank, presumably as a result of the above.

Seemed to install just fine.
Running the latest version of Slacko.

Thanks, but unfortunately it's still blank. Maybe it will work once I restart.
On installing it also says I'm missing the following dependencies:
SDL_gfx
SDL_mixer-Smpeg
Could that be the problem?
I have SDL installed, including the LibSDL1.2-forDoom package, as well as the SDL image, ttf, mixer, net, mixerDEV along with the SDL-1.2.14-i486 library.
I've no idea where to find those two.
Thanks!

hi eldon
i just tested on a completely fresh slacko,
1. clicked on http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-13.37/libraries/ORBit2/2.14.19/ORBit2-2.14.19-i486-1.txz and saved it. then opened the folder where it's saved and clicked on it to install
2. installed desura
3. working fine, nothing else installed
are you sure the ORBit package is installed and not just saved?
and how are you starting desura? use the script in the desura folder.

That doesn't make sense- you loaded slacko with no save file etc. and it worked with orbit and nothing else?
Yes, I have Orbit is installed, and yes, I'm using the script in the folder to start it.
And this is a shot of the console:
Obviously I need to find the cef library whatever that is and see if that fixes it.
Does it have this message on yours?

Did you install chromium?
The CEF library- CEF stands for "Chromium Embedded Framework".

i'm at a loss.....
works for me on a slacko with no save, and nothing but orbit installed. (no chromium or anything else)
I think that the desure interface maybe chrome based
i have an nvidia card so the open source drivers get loaded automatically. so it's possibly something to do with graphics drivers. That or your internet connecton.
i do get a few warnings in the terminal, but not like yours. just about not being able to find a libs version number. but still works.
can you try it on lucid puppy and see if you get the same result
