Title: OpenBVE under Ubuntu 12.04
Post by: frank754 on August 07, 2012, 08:15:08 pm

I was able to get OpenBVE to work well with the default British route under Ubuntu, but am having trouble with the subway lines.
I manually installed the 7 route, but it doesn't show up in the list of routes. I installed it to the correct place under /usr/share/games
Also, it seems like almost all the trains, after unzipping, are .exe files
I installed mono-complete, and when running I get a CIL error.
Has anyone done this and have an easy method that they have used?  Thank in advance.

I haven't been home in a few days, but my main OS is Ubuntu 10.10. I understand that you're using 12.04, but Ubuntu is Ubuntu. An issue I was having had to deal with the file permissions. I'll take a look when I get home and show you exactly what I did, but make sure they're read+write

One issue I've found is that "7z" extracts with paranoid permissions.  To fix that case:

Code: [Select]

cd /usr/share/games/bve
sudo find . -type d -exec chmod go+rx '{}' ';'
sudo find . -type f -exec chmod go+r '{}' ';'

Thank you! I've been having that issue with routes!
