d2ol and ubuntu

[Brucifer]

just loaded up ubuntu 7.04 desktop beta for amd-64. running kernel "Linux ubunto 2.6.20-12-generic #2 SMP" onto an AMD X2. Just positively loves the dnetc 64-bit client. I untared a d2ol install, and fired that off.... :( no go. gives an error saying that ../jre/bin/java can't be found. So I back up a directory, take a peek, and the stuff is there............... ??????? Anyone else running d2ol on ubuntu? This is my first crack at ubuntu-64 and wondering is there is some dark secret? The same tar file fires off okay on Suse/Slack.

well that answered that question

I was going to ask you how to set d2ol with new Ubuntu next week?

I got a new toy, a Watt-meter, now I know how much I can load on a circuit
there's some older parts I can put together (3 or 4 more boxes)
but I don't want to waste money on Windows to get them running

the last time I tried Ubuntu(5.something) it worked fine on some boxes,on other boxes I lost video output and I didn't have the patience to fix the
configuration files for video then

is there a distro of Linux that will boot most of the time no matter what hardware you have, even to a command prompt?

Tried this?

yum install compat-libstdc++-2

From the D2OL site....may or may not werk.


Also found this on ARS...

No, that isn't the problem I'm having. Been down that road with Suse though. :)

Try CentOS.

Knoppix and Damn Small Linux boot everytime (at least when I've used them they have)

just a thought, if you've been using 64 bit dnet, you may need the 32 bit compatibility libraries.

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs should sort you out. part of that is a java compatibility one.

Nobody has suggested Gentoo :icon_rolleyes:

[drezha]

Cos you have to compile a lot yourself. :p

I want plug n play, even if it means bloatware. (cos it's still less bloaty than Windows)
Maybe I'll give Gentoo a whirl over the holidays...

I ended up loading SimplyMepis 6.5.02, 64-bit. It took off running two instances of d2ol just fine without having to mess with any compatibility issues. It even loaded on my S series Gigabyte with a sata drive with no problem recognizing the cd/dvd as I'd been having with OpenSuse.
