when i run "sh vendetta-linux-ia32-installer"
it feedback
"Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Vendetta Online for Linux.........................
.......................................................Extraction failed.
signal caught, cleaning up"

then im back at the prompt
what do i do.

Do you have enough free space? Are you running the binary from removable media, or the internal memory of the EEEPC? I've never tried Xandros, but might try download it to see if it is an issue with the OS, or your hardware.

Can you figure out what signal was caught? That may help determine what the problem is.

I would have been able to had it failed for me, but it did not. Making this post from Xandros, after running the updater.

[edit]

Off topic I know, but how the hell are they trying to market this as an XP replacement, heh, its just a nix, with kde and some folders renamed...

well it doesn't tell me what signal was caught ray
what i posted is exactly what happened

Im still a noob with linux

i put vo in my docs folder thats located at /home/user/"My Documents"/vendetta-linux-ia32-installer/

i have like 500 megs of space on my internal SSD so that should be plenty for a vo install.

Yeah, you should only need about 200Mb for an install of VO, I'm stumped to be honest, was hoping it was going to be a Xandros thing, but its not. Is the /tmp folder writeable by yourself?

try strace -e signal sh vendetta-linux-ia32-installer.sh

that should give you the signal

i'm running Xp now
so far i can run vo at medium setting on win xp and i get a nice 30-48 fps

its sweet :D

I will continue to try and get this one going on the default xandros install....

How is glx support on ubuntu tho?

this installs vendetta:

sh vendetta-linux-ia32-installer.sh --target /home/user/bin

however, on running vendetta you get:

ibGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x68
Fatal Error: Couldn't open window.

any ideas?

Hmm, what does glxinfo say? (full output)

i have got vo running on 1gig ram 0703 bios default xandros advanced (kde) mode, 20-30 fps

secret seems to be 'direct rendering':

see pic and my xorg.conf on this link:

http://www.reliquary.co.uk/scar/index.htm

i got this message after booting

"KDE: $HOME directory (/home/user) is out of disk space. KDE is unable to start. [OK]"

something 700 mb in size is filiing up /dev/sda2, possibly ".xsession-errors", i had to go here to fix it:

update : looks like xandros fills up /var/temp with error log files.... nothing to do with running VO.

trolley could u possibly reload the xorg.conf? i'm trying to get vo running
