Linux error: No available video device

Post by Palus »

Hi I'm very new to Linux, running Xubuntu 14.04.1 x64 and I installed x32 libs and ran into this when running the command

Code: Select all

sudo bash file.sh
and I have no clue what it means.

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Katawa Shoujo.py", line 132, in <module>
    renpy.bootstrap.bootstrap(renpy_base)
  File "/home/xjagz/Games/Katawa/renpy/bootstrap.py", line 170, in bootstrap
    renpy.display.presplash.show(options.presplash)
  File "/home/xjagz/Games/Katawa/renpy/display/presplash.py", line 93, in show
    pygame.display.init()
pygame.error: No available video device
  File "/home/xjagz/Games/Katawa/renpy/bootstrap.py", line 260, in bootstrap
    renpy.main.main()
  File "/home/xjagz/Games/Katawa/renpy/main.py", line 299, in main
    game.interface = renpy.display.core.Interface()
  File "/home/xjagz/Games/Katawa/renpy/display/core.py", line 1280, in __init__
    self.display = Display(self)
  File "/home/xjagz/Games/Katawa/renpy/display/core.py", line 856, in __init__
    pygame.display.init()
error: No available video device

After initialization, but before game start.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I solved it myself, but here's the solution anyways!

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian:i386
