Having trouble running the game[lunix]

I am a linux noob and I would I keep getting errors when I try to open KAG. could someone give me a brief tut on how to run the game? I am using a ubuntu VM on my mac if that information is needed.

 

Same here: http://kagforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=1058#p1058

Trying to run a server.

 

Oh, I am not trying to run a server just the game... It tells me that I do not have a application installed for executable files... what application should I be using?

 

spencak, if you know anything about linux terminal or at least DOS/cmd in Windows (it's pretty similar) you can open terminal and cd to KAG folder, then write these commands:
chmod +x rungame.sh KAG
./rungame.sh

If you're not very experienced about that kind of stuff, you can just try to create a desktop or panel shortcut to KAG by writing 'sh /path/to/kag/folder/rungame.sh' in the text field where you put the program path. What desktop environment (or distribution) are you using?

 

Thanks! I am using Ubuntu... it has worked so far but I get an error when I run the game I get this (you can skip to the end)

Just read that you are doing this in virtual machine... did you install guest system drivers? You need to use VM with opengl acceleration support (virtualbox and vmware should do that). If you don't know how to install guest additions for your virtual machine (you should have some option in your VM program to install that) tell me what VM you are using and I'll try to help.

 

Thanks that woudl be great! I am using vmwarefusion I am not sure about the guest tools and I would love some help thanks!

 

Install Vmware Tools with these commands:

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-virtual
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends open-vm-dkms
sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools

You may need to enable some option like 'enable 3d acceleration' in this virtual machine's options, I used VMWare too long time ago to remember where to look for that one.
