Title: Ubuntu Noob, how to install OA Post by: kilgore on February 25, 2009, 05:11:42 AM So I'm using ubuntu for the first time. I think I installed OA correctly, but it is extremely buggy. Maybe I installed wrong. Can someone guide me through the process? Which file to download and how to start from there?
I can start the game just fine, but when configuring the menu, the screen goes suddenly black, which just some wierd mouse graphic. When getting into the game (single player) after a few seconds the graphics go all weird... what to do?

I would sugest you look at your video drivers. Make sure screensaver is turned off too. Ubuntu forums have lots of threads about video drivers. HTH Title: Re: Ubuntu Noob, how to install OA Post by: kilgore on February 25, 2009, 06:49:18 AM hey jesus...thanks. somehow i can't find help for this on the ubuntu forums. Like I said, I know nothing about linux. I don't know what a video driver is or how to "look at it"......a more detailed exaplanation would be appreciated!
Title: Re: Ubuntu Noob, how to install OA Post by: menganito on February 25, 2009, 08:05:20 AM AFAIK, Ubuntu has enabled Compiz by default, you need to turn it off to play.
I don't know how to exactly, but google surely will, mybe in the desktop settings (when you configure wapllpaper and s stuff), turn off "Desktop effects". BTW: welcome to GNU/Linux :) Title: Re: Ubuntu Noob, how to install OA Post by: JESUS SCOUSE on February 25, 2009, 08:19:48 AM Killgore.
I use an ATI video card and Ubuntu forums have this. If you don't have the same card do a search for similar threads. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver HTH Title: Re: Ubuntu Noob, how to install OA Post by: kilgore on March 01, 2009, 06:01:38 PM Hey, it was the compiz dealy thing. turning off effects makes the problem disapear!
