Ubuntu 13.10 64bit Issues

[VAN1SH1NG]

I just installed the 13.10 version of Lubuntu and had some difficulties with Altitude. Previously the highest version of Ubuntu I have used is 12.10. It seems they have deprecaiated ia32-libs. Instead I installed lib32bz2-1.0. Then I installed Steam followed by the Steam version of Altitude. Worked fine.

As I use server configurator and have some non steam accounts I then installed the standalone as well. No problems installing but I was not able to run Altitude, map editor, etc. From logs:

I did get it working by adding software repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main restricted universe multiverse", followed by "apt-get update" and "apt-get install ia32-libs". Or at least it launches now and I assume Altitude is fully working. Have not played at all yet.

Is there a better solution to this since ia32-libs is no longer supported? Odd that Steam version works without the workaround.

- Have you tried installing the other components of ia32-libs (lib32z1 and lib32ncurses5)?
I doubt very much alti relies on ncurses, but it's worth a shot.

- Steam packages it's own versions of the required libraries, probably to prevent version changes or distro specific changes breaking steam.
Starting steam with

STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam

will use the system's libraries, so if it's a library problem alti would not start when you run steam like this.

- If it is a missing library problem, this should list missing libraries for the .so files: (taken from arch wiki + modified)

cd ~/altitude/native
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" ldd $(file *|sed '/ELF/!d;s/:.*//g')|grep 'not found'|sort|uniq

On my arch setup, it lists libjawt.so and libjvm.so as missing, but the game runs fine anyway, so they don't seem to be critical

Just to put it out there (since Vanquish claimed Alti+Steam+Linux=not working).

I am running Alti on Steam on Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit without any tweaks. Everything works perfectly, in fact runs as good or better than the Windows version. Absolutely no problems here.

It's the standalone version ( for running the server configuration ) that he's having problems with ^^

I don't use alti through steam, but steam packages it's own libraries so there should be no issues like this.

Yeah Steam Altitude always worked. I did install lib32z1 and lib32ncurses5 after lib32bz2-1.0 was not enough but those did not help.

Does installing openjdk-7-jre (or oracle JRE, I don't know the package name for that) and setting ~/altitude/.install4j/pref_jre.cfg to /usr change anything?

Considering installing ia32-libs fixes it, it seems like a library error, but if this changes something it might not be.
