Linux help
I downloaded Regnum online using Linux 32 bit, When I try to open the installer it says I need to open the file with an application. I've tried some stuff I've found but can't get it to work.

Are you using some kind of file manager? I've never used one so can't suggest how to fix it using the GUI, but it could be an access rights issue, i.e. you need to tell the O/S that it's an execuable.
Try opening up a command shell to where you've downloaded the installer and type the following (assuming the 32 bit installer is called RegnumOnlineInstall_32): Code:
chmod 755 RegnumOnlineInstall_32 Code:
./RegnumOnlineInstall_32

click on the properties, below Permissions should be a option "Allow executing file as program" or something similar. If you can't find it in your desktop or if you prefer to use the command line you can use
Code:
chmod u+x ./RegnumOnline* (Zodar was faster) Last edited by Cuchulainn; 04-20-2011 at 10:49 PM. |

Check for libopenal if you do not have sound in game.

I'm having another problem, so it seems my NVIDIA video card doesn't support Linux. Any help?

You might be using the open source drivers.
Use the driver finder application of Ubuntu to install the proprietary drivers.
