is sl Linux work on ubuntu ?

the title say evrything =)

OK, i'm a Linux noob myself, and as posted earlier I spent last weekend trying different distro's.
I'm now running (and typing under ) Kubuntu 6.06 LTS Beta. ( http://www.kubuntu.com/ )

I just went trhu http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper to install the nVidia drivers and YEE-HAA! it finally worked without errors and I even have a nVidia X Server settings icon under Settings.

But now I get an error when I try to start Secondlife:
me@home:~/SecondLife_1_9_0_21/SecondLife_1_9_0_21$ ./secondlife
bin/secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I havent found what that is yet. Is it something in my nVidia setup, or is it an SL error, or what do I have to install? Any help is appreciated!

You need to install db42 (Berkeley DB database library Version 4.2).

--Val

Tnx, yep, just found that.
One step further... getting some error messages now, ending with an error that I have to set my desktop to 32 bits, using start, control panel (or something???? Maybe a Windows error message? I'll check later, back to Windows for my daily portion of SL )

Check in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I think it's in the "screens" section. You want DefaultDepth to be set to 24. If it's already 24, then I don't know what's wrong.

Heheh got it working
My first game under Linux ever (exept for a bootable Unreal Tournament Linux cd)
Don't know what I changed, I dont think I changed anything that could affect the display settings (or there was something in the apt-get upgrade today)

W00T!

Next step is to see how I can change the SL window size, or run in at least 1024*768

/me is happy

Can I be the first to say

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

and welcome to the gang!

Tnx
I'm running on 1280*1024 now too, that wasnt too hard
Is there a way to resize the window? Because 1024* 768 is too small for me, but in 1280*1024 I'm missing the bottom menu bar (so I cant click Find and Inventory)

I just manually changed the vertical aspect until it was the right size, i.e.:

WindowHeight 715
WindowWidth 1024

And that worked fine

Edit: for you, obviously, it'll be
WindowHeight X
WindowWidth 1280

Sorry for hijacking your thread Precillia

But since you asked, and with the help of the others that replied to my answers it's not that hard to get SL running under (K)Ubuntu.
I dont know if you're already running Ubuntu, but a friend of mine just registered and installed SL under Ubuntu. He used Automatix to set up his Nvidia driver (not sure if you have ATI or nVidia) (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=138405)
Automatix doesnt run on my version of Kubuntu, but you could try that.

I used SL with Ubuntu fairly easily. Something that helped the hell out of me was using EasyUbuntu to help with Ubuntu set up. Basically it went like this: install Ubuntu, install easyubuntu, download SL, run SL

You will NOT have sound, you will not have file uploading, but everything else worked fine since 1.9.21 (for me, that is.)

ubuntu for 64bit ran like a dog, though.

How do I get rid of this?

Ubuntu and SL play together fine most of the time. I've run SL on Ubuntu Hoary, Breezy, and Dapper(not reccomended!). The biggest trick is just getting your video card's drivers recognized and working and then making sure you have all the dependencies up and going. Sure would be nice if SL could be made into a Deb package (And a slackware binary too!) Hint hint!

Not that it really needs to be, but it would be nice to have SL in Apt-get, emerge, and slapt-get. Just a suggestion....
