perlwonk Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I purchased the indie version from the ubuntu software center (version 14.04), but while the software center is installing leadwerks, it fails with this error message: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Failed to download repository information Check your Internet connection W:Failed to fetch https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/commercial-ppa-uploaders/leadwerks-indie/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages HttpError404 , W:Failed to fetch https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/commercial-ppa-uploaders/leadwerks-indie/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages HttpError404 , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUT, my internet connection is good. Did something get corrupted? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerRidda Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Have you tried to navigate to the links from the error message, log-in with your Ubuntu SSO account and see if there is actually anything in there? If the software center is being stupid you should still be able to download these debs manually, if there actually is nothing there contacting someone from Ubuntu might be wise.

wdna Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 This is not directly related to Leadwerks. It seems although you have internet connection you getting NOT FOUND 404 messages from that site. Did you make any repository configurations on your Ubuntu? maybe try a mirror of this repository? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perlwonk Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 I tried putting one of the links into a browser, entered my username and password for my ubuntu sso account, no luck. I get an error message that reads: 'A username and password are being requested hy https://private-ppa.launchpad.net. The site says: "Token Required"' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perlwonk Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Ok, I got Leadwerks installed, but now I have a really stupid question. How do I launch it? I type "leadwerks" in the dash (ubuntu 14.04) but nothing happens. Also, in my leadwerks folder are .exe and .dll files. Is this normal? I thought this was a native port.

DerRidda Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 It is a native port but exe's and DLLs are included anyway which means you could deploy the Windows version of a game without ever booting into Windows. If you try to run Leadwerks from the terminal what - if any - error message are you getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ma-Shell Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 It is a native port, but they are there so you can just copy this to windows and launch the .exe. For Launching it: Navigate to the leadwerks-folder (the same as the .exe and .dll files are in) and run the install.sh (if you didn't already do so). This folder should also include a file called just "Leadwerks", which is the Linux-binary, you should run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perlwonk Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Got it, thanks. But now I get an error message that reads: "Failed to initialize graphics. Your graphics hardware may not be supported." lshw show that I have: GF108GLM [Quadro 1000M] NVIDIA Corporation It just desn't have enough horse power? I need to develope on my gaming rig and not my laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 OpenGL 4 is required, as stated in the system requirements. Nvidia's proprietary drivers support this, but I do not know if the Quadro series does.

perlwonk Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Sure enough my graphics hardware does not support OpenGL 4. Ok, I'll do all the development on my gaming machine. Thanks for your help. You've saved me a TON of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
