64-bit Ubuntu Linux on Sun VirtualBox

[ksotaku100]

Can Ren'Py work on 64bit Ubuntu? When I tried to run it, it crashed. Can someone tell me what's going on and how I can get it to work? I clicked on renpy.exe.

The Specs are as follows:

64bit Ubuntu 9.10 running on a Sun VirtualBox on a 64bit Vista with a AMD 8550 Triple-Core Processor with 5GB of RAM with an NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE Graphics Card. 500GBs of HD Space.

The allowed memory on the Virtual Machine are as follows:

1024 MBs of RAM
64 MBs of Video Memory with 3D Acceleration Enabled.

You need to click on renpy.sh. You'll also need to have the 32-bit compatibility libraries installed, if they aren't by default.

I did and I got this window... chose "Run" and nothing happened... by that... I meant i clicked on renpy.sh.

From the screenshot, it looks like whatever archiver you used to decompress Ren'Py dumped all the files in one directory for some reason. Try decompressing it again; my 6.10.1d directory looks like:

This is a bit off-topic, but do you have a link to how your rig and set-up runs?

Is it more efficient than Wincrap XP edition?

I extracted renpy.code which I think was a bad thing to do. So I deleted the whole renpy folder and went ahead and extracted it again without extracting renpy.code. Tried it again... saw the same window, clicked "Run" did... not... work... it said it was an executable text file.

Try running renpy.sh from a terminal and see what, if any, error messages it outputs? Try a different file manager?

It simply opens and closes when I run from the terminal. I used the built-in file manager.

Opens and closes what?

To clarify, that should have been 'start xterm; cd to the appropriate directory; ./renpy.sh;'. I don't think it'll run from a VT, and right-clicking and selecting 'run in terminal' (if your file manager supports such) is likely to give you a terminal that closes automatically as soon as the program finishes.

Also, if you're running Ubuntu testing or unstable, (as root)

Code: Select all

apt-get update;apt-get upgrade

may fix some of the problems. (May also introduce new ones.)
