Hello friends,

It was a while now since I (without success) tried to get this awesome-looking mod to work on my computer running Xubuntu 16.04. I return now to ask,

1. do you think it might work better now?
2. what is the procedure to installing it on linux?

Thanks alot!

Troubleshooting / Segmentation fault (core dumped) on starting

« on: June 10, 2016, 10:19:44 am »

Dear openxcom-people,

I'm on Xubuntu 15.10 (32-bit), and I got my copy of openxcom as well as the fixed libyaml-cpp from this launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~knapsu/+archive/ubuntu/openxcom. I've also installed the other dependencies mentioned in the installation instructions, as well as timidity (since I saw that someone else needed that). Then:

1. I got my copy of XCOM: UFO DEFENCE from Steam yesterday, and I downloaded and extracted your universal patch in the XCOM/ folder, replacing files as necessary. (Before this I tarballed a backup copy of the folder just in case).

2. I then first tried copying all the mentioned folders individually to the data folder ( /usr/share/openxcom in my case, not /usr/local/share/openxcom as in your example - but alas, starting the program with openxcom -data "/usr/share/openxcom/data" still yields segfault), keeping permissions, no go, then I copied the entire contents of the XCOM/ folder, still segfault, then I chmod 777 -R the entire /usr/share/openxcom/ folder just to make sure there where no permission problems, still segfault.

I seem to get no logfile (~/.local/share/openxcom/ is empty). What should I do now? I read about x-piratez on Rock Paper Shotgun and I would like to try it out.

Thanks!
