[Linux] Installation problems on Fedora 18 64bits

Hi,
I just tried to installl the game in my Fedora 18 64 bits and foud several problems.
I couldn’t install the .rpm because the software installer reises the missing signature error and trying to install it using yum gave me a lot of issues regarding dependencies.

I downloaded the tar.gz an unpacked it, I tried to run the game and it complained about libraries not found I was able to install all of them (yum whatprovides xxxx and them yum install yyy).

Finally the game is working but I do not get sound, it says this all the time in the terminal:

[12055:0430/205849:WARNING:alsa_util.cc(24)] PcmOpen: plug:default,No such device or address

Thanks in advance.

Hi again, I just solved it…

Again, with yum whatprovides libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so I was able to locate the missing library:

yum install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.26-2.fc18.i686

Now it sounds!!!

I still get errors in the terminal but the game seems to work fine:

Thanks! Those tips got it working for me as well.

I saw GLX errors with a lot of games when using the nouveau drivers. Installing the binary nvidia drivers from RPM fusion should clear it up, although if you aren’t noticing any graphical issues when playing the game it’s probably not worth the time. I have the nvidia drivers (was needed for steam anyways) and did not get GLX errors

The console errors I got were:

[343:0501/231321:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(146)] Running without the SUID sandbox! See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxSUIDSandboxDevelopment for more information on developing with the sandbox on.

The GTK theme errors are reasonable because I don’t have a proper GNOME installation and the other two look like developer mode warnings (should they really be classified as “ERROR”?).
