[solved with a dirty terminal hack] does not accept keyboard input
Mon, 04/11/2011 - 10:56
hi there
I'm running on an ubuntu 11.04 beta system (http://www.ubuntu.com/) and I have sun java6 installed
when the game is launched (installed or not). i can access anything from the mouse, but when I have to imput a name or a password using my keyboard I can bang on as many buttons as i like It won't take it!
what do i need to do? uninstall sun java6 and use openJDK or what? I've got some other programs that run better on the sun-java system so I'm completely clueless.
as long as this isn't fixed i can't play the game and can't spend money on it so please help!

Omegaxis, according to one of
Omegaxis, according to one of the users in the thread equinox posted:
Instead of all these lines, on Ubuntu you can instead
source /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/none
You can for example make a sh script to start the game, and place it in /home/user/.getdown/spiral/spiral-start.sh:
#!/bin/bash
unset XIM
unset XIM_PROGRAM
unset GTK_IM_MODULE
unset QT_IM_MODULE
unset XMODIFIERS
cd $( dirname $0 )
java -jar getdown-pro.jar .
Have you tried that?
Someone with a Linux computer who can run this game fine...help him! I might have to switch to Ubuntu too! D:
