launch error on linux 32bits.

[Lunamanga]

Hello,

Thanks you for this making but I can't have the honor to play it ! The game doesn't run. I'm on ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, 32 bits v.

I downloaded the game today, I uncompressed it and I replaced the .sh by the hotfix. After that I click right button on .sh to give it the permission to launch it as an executable. Ok. To finish, i press "Enter", click on "launch" and.... nothing. I try again and click on "launch in shell", nothing.
I don't know how to do. Did I forget anything ?

Thanks for attention.

Open a terminal, navigate to the directory and run the script from the shell. Post any errors that appear.

I'd suggest upgrading your distro. I had problems with KS on old distros but after upgrading to latest it ran fine.

I tried in a terminal and I have :

exec: 20: ./lib/python: Permission denied

Sorry I'm still a beginner in linux.


At the moment, I can't upgrading my distro I don't have enough memory in my partition, I'm soon going to have to "repartitionner" (I don't know the word in english) correctly my computer...

Thank you for these fast answers !

The verb is "to repartition"

Plus, that seems like there's something wrong with the launcher script. It's not properly chmod +x:ing <ksdir>/lib/python

unfortunately can't try windows version under wine (it's not in the stable reps due to some issues, i guess). will appreciate advice.

I think I had this issue on Arch some time ago... Which could mean that you have to get an newer version of python or whichever SDL library had that function in it. Is Mint Debian based on testing or stable? Can you enable testing repos if it's stable?

thanks for the quick reply. lmde is based on debian testing; i've enabled backported & unstable repos and upgraded — no go, ks refuses to launch with the same error.

i'm no specialist, but it looks like ks relies on python (2.5?) libraries packaged into te archive with the game… i have version 2.6.7 installed — could this be a problem?..

That shouldn't be an issue since the 2.X line is (at least mostly) compatible with 2.5.

I can confirm that KS works with Python 2.7.2 and SDL 1.2.14, which version of SDL do you have installed? You might be able to get a newer one from some PPA (I think Debian supports them?) or development repo.

[tivasyk]

looks like i have sdl 1.2 (libsdl1.2-debian and a corresponding set of lib's).

So... I managed to figure out a very very very verryy noob solution to this issue.

Simply go to terminal and type: sudo apt-get install renpy

or yum install renpy on yer distro.

That will fix all the dependencies, after mark the .sh file as executable in properties and then run it. And it will start... eventually. I think.

=) thanks, will give it a try.

I have the same problem with Debian 6.0.4 amd64; already installed the 32 bit libs (that solved the problem in Ubuntu) and I also tried to install renpy, but I still get the same error message:

What I do to launch the game: I open a terminal and type "[...]/KatawaShoujo/Katawa\ Shoujo.sh" ( '[...]' is the folder where the game is located ).
The splash-screen pops-up for a splitsecond and then the errormessage gets printed.
I am the owner of the files and I have the privileges to execute them on my system (750)

Are there any other possibilities I could try... other then downloading the game for windows and run it with wine?

If you want to run the game with the system Ren'Py/Python/etc. you have to run python Katawa Shoujo.py instead of the shell script. The shell script uses the libraries bundled with the game.
