Hi I've been trying to download spiral knights for Linux. The java installation went smoothly, however "sudo sh (path to spiral-install.bin)" does not launch a liscence agreement. I've tried moving the file to "sudo sh/home/(user)/spiral-install.bin" but again, nothing launches.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Say thanks for the response, but when I initiate that command I only get "Unable to access jarfile getdownpro.jar" and nothing else. I am also unable to run steam on this crud computer because of missing 32 bit libraries. So I cannot open the web-play page neither.
I keep forgetting the exact methods for installing on linux. I was under the assumption that they just distributed the jar updater instead of a shell script for installing. So I deleted my SK install and did a fresh install to find out how it goes nowadays.
sudo sh [path-to-binary]/spiral-install.bin
is the correct command.
Are you sure it isn't launching the license agreement and you just aren't seeing it? Could test something like this:
sudo sh [path-to-binary]/spiral-install.bin > installlog.txt
I understand this may be an insulting question - but you are trying to install it via a terminal, right? It will launch nothing using most desktops GUIs but works perfectly find in my bash shell.
I've tried both commands, still no license launch.
It's not insulting at all. I've been using X-Term to run my commands. It worked for the installation of Oracle 7 java, but strangely not this. (Also what most likely is the problem is that I'm using a Samsung Chromebook with Ubuntu hacked onto it. Again it works great for installation, but running commands is where this "computer's" potential kind of falters.)
I think I see your problem then.
X-Term is a virtual terminal. It seems that it might not be sending the output of the shell script correctly.
A quick search gave me a couple ideas for you to test:
Ubuntu uses ctrl+alt+t as the terminal shortcut. See if it brings up bash instead of xterm.
Or
(Found in a chromebook hack for ubuntu) In xterm, use the command "shell" to open a bash like shell specific to chromebooks. Run the command there.
Or
xterm -e /usr/bin/bash ...
to run "..." using bash.
Or
Try using a different shell for executing the bin. Replace "sh" in the original command with "bash", "ksh", "tcsh", or "zsh".
I seem to always forget where the getdownpro.jar is... but when I installed it on linux I used that, not a spiral-install.bin. (Command "java -jar getdownpro.jar .").
Maybe better information on installing can be viewed over on their web-play page
