Anticheat check - which competitive games actually work on Linux?
How to give Valve feedback when Proton games have issues on Linux / SteamOS
chmod +x filenamethen./filenamebut then I get an error:no such file or directoryNo idea how that is possible, I used tab to autocomplete the filename, so it isn't a typo. Oddly enough, it is this same exact error on some games while the others work absolutely fine. I have even installed these same games on other computers without a problem before. I have checked the md5, no problem there. Even if I double click the file from a file manager and select execute, I get the same error.
no such file or directoryClearly there is such a file with such a name, because I just clicked on it.Have only tried a couple of games, but this error is present on Volgarr the Viking, VVVVVV, and Super Meat Boy. Totally lost here guys; any Linux gurus with any ideas?
bash filename.shin case it's on a file system where your system does not allow setting the executable bit. This might be the case for ntfs-formatted or other "non-native" partition types. Also try moving the file to a different location to check if there's something weird going on with the path like special characters that the shell fails to escape properly.
I am sure it autocompleted right, because I get the same error when I type it all the way in, type it in with quotes, or just double click it from a file manager.
Anyway I tried running supermeatboy-linux-11112013-bin with GDB but it gave me the same error about the file not existing.
I don't think it is a problem with the game itself, somehow the OS just can't run it. I am not knowledgeable enough in any of this stuff though.
Not a huge fan of Lubuntu anyway, I might try out another distro once I get the time. I hardly play games on my chromebook so this doesn't trouble me much.
ls -land then of trying to run the installer from the same shell?Sorry about the extremely generic troubleshooting questions. I'm not trying to annoy you, but it's always best to look for a simple explanation before deciding Occam's razor simply doesn't cut it. (Pardon the bad pun. :whistle: )
I tried with Volgarr, because that's the same game I have from Humble Bundle. Used the bittorrent download link and got the following file:
VolgarrTheViking_v1.34_Linux32.tar.gzThat's so to speak a double packed archive, your package should return a directory when extracting it. Afterwards, I cd into the Volgarr directory and ran:
./VolgarrI got the following error:
./Volgarr: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryI am running a 64 bits ubuntu, and Volgarr is compiled with 32, so I had to install the 32 bits libSDL2 and then it ran fine!
Humble's Linux packages seem to be of wildly varying quality. Many of them include either minimal documentation or none at all. Is a simple "readme" in every archive too much to ask for? Another reason to buy from stores like GOG I guess, especially if you're new to Linux.
Here is a screenshot: [http://imgur.com/x16cU9i](http://imgur.com/x16cU9i)
my chromebook doesn't have a 'prt scr' button, so I had to run scrot at the same time.
exact terminal output is literally this (from all the games that don't run):
bash: ./filename: no such file or directoryLet's try this: GOG's page for Volgarr lists these dependencies: libc6:i386, libasound2:i386, libasound2-data:i386, libasound2-plugins:i386, libsdl2-2.0-0:i386. You can install them with:
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-data:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386Can you try that?
If after installing the libraries as proposed by tuubi you still get errors, you can try this:
ldd Volgarrand see if it tells you what is missing.cat ./VolgarrFortunately I found this: [https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/202759400-Installing-32-bit-libs-on-a-64-bit-Linux-system](https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/202759400-Installing-32-bit-libs-on-a-64-bit-Linux-system)
after installing a bazillion things all the games work now! Thanks everyone!
