Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Thanks, that fixed the bzip2 problem, but after the installation procedure (with the Application manager), I get the yellow popup window saying OpenDune cannot install. And the mystery still remains why it stopped working in the first place.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Probably because postinst tries to download from dead links. fixed.
I also tried to upgrade to latest version but there are some problems with sound. Needs more investigation.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

Still won't install. I actually see it installed and there are opendune files and I can successfully uninstall it, but there is no OpenDune icon so I can't start the game.
(this is not new, it was happening when I first saw a problem a few days ago)

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

So it looks like what originally happened was that OpenDune would not start because it could not find dune,cfg in MyDocs/games/DUNE2, and this is because my MyDocs got destroyed. This a guess, though.

Then, running opendune.sh from /home/opt/usr/games, it compains it cannot load the data file. The data file should, I guess, come from /usr/share/games/opendune/data, which has a put_dune2_here.txt file.

To summarize, I think originally OpenDune could not run because of my MyDocs mishap, and now it won't run because the fresh install is not correct.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

In my /usr/share/games/opendune folder there are 'data' symlink to '/home/user/MyDocs/Games/DUNE2/' folder. You copied/already have original dune files in /usr/share/games/opendune/data/?
You can also check output of 'apt-get remove opendune' and 'apt-get install opendune'. Installer should download data files for you but I think postinstall script fails for some reason.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

No, my files are different:

/usr/share/games/opendune $ cd data
/usr/share/games/opendune/data $ ls
dune.cfg put_dune2_here.txt

~/MyDocs/Games/DUNE2 $ ls
~/MyDocs/Games/DUNE2 $

Ok will check apt-get.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

try 'apt-get update' first, I pushed opendune 0.7.2555-maemo10 to repositories yesterday. Then 'apt-get remove opendune' (if you have opendune already installed).
You can also try 'rm -rf /opt/maemo/usr/share/games/opendune/data'
If that doesn't help you can delete (or create) /opt/maemo/usr/share/games/opendune

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

I tried. It looks like what helps is creating /opt/maemo/usr/share/games/opendune/data
(it's not there before I attempt an install, and it's not there after the faulty install)

Then during install, there is a progress window saying it's downloading data - I've never seen that before.

Then once it's finished, there is a correct Dune icon in the list of apps, and there are files in the data directory - cool - but tapping on the icon does not start Dune.

Re: OpenDUNE - Dune II remake
 

I suspect that this package was broken at last three years :(
New version is in repos and this time I also included updated scenario.pak file.

Try to update your repositries (apt-get update) and try to uninstall&install opendune once more.
Thank you for your patience!
