This is quite possibly the most useful forum I've ever read on fumbbl. I recently received my copy of Ubuntu and haven't installed it yet - my intention is to setup a machine that my wife won't be using, primarily to play BloodBowl on, or as I explained to her, I need it for work.
Thanks to all who have offered insights --- good stuff! |

The Sun Java seems to install nicely. It's in a folder under my user, but that's supposed to work, right? Anyone who has any idea what I missed? |

Well this is what I did on my penguin box (java 1.6 by default):
Installed Java 1.5
created a symbolic link in my jbb folder to my java 1.5 install
| Code: |
cd /your/jbb/directory
ln -s /path/to/your/jre java
|
then created a text file called bbowlLauncher
entered the following in that file:
| Code: |
cd /your/jbb/directory
./java -jar Bbowl.jar
|
made the launcher executable
| Code: |
chmod +x bbowlLauncher
|
Afterward, just need to call the launcher to get Bbowl.

Anybody having any sound issues? I'm on ubuntu gutsy, and only get sound maybe 1/4-1/3 of time (the system sound is fine, I can play an MP3, I just don't get block sounds, cheers, or anything else from the client). Adjusting the volume in client (when I can actually open the menu) doesn't fix it. |

update-alternatives needs to be made aware of it. If you just downloaded sun's java from sun and unzipped it somewhere, it will have no way of knowing its actually on your system. If you get it from the repository though, the maintainer will make sure he does that for you (unless he stuffed up).
Anway, its easy to let update-alternatives know of its existence. You just need to run
sudo update-alternatives --install <few arguments here>
I can't remember the arguments off the top of my head (am on my gentoo box atm). One of them is the path to your java executable, and another the name you want to give that alternative - just have a quick gander on the ubunut wiki/forum or the man page to figure it out.
Hope it helps. |

Could be due to the client not letting you share the sound device. Is something else using the sound device when you start jbb? |

JavaBB is totally incomplete without the sounds. The RIP noise is especially funny. |

Yes that's a linux ( ubuntu ?!?) problem ... the bbclient uses the whole audio server ... means, that if you have another audio device running (like mp3, video, etc.) before starting the client, then you won't have the client sound ... if you don't have any sound device running before you start then you will have sound, but your audio device is busy for any other sound application (including a second bb match) ... i guess with starting a new audio daemon (like artsd) at every client start could solve the problem ... perhaps even the new pulseAudio sound system could help ... but i haven't had the time yet to try either of them

Sounds right. I rebooted, and was able to spectate 3 games in a row with sound.

Do you know how to restart this? I couldn't find any reference to artsd or artswrapper in /etc/init.d or rcX.d. It's running as me, so I'm guessing it's started by my window environment, KDE, but I don't really understand that. I did some finds on the entire filesystem, and didn't turn up anything obvious. |

If you have the volume turned up listening to music it can all get quite alarming.
I only have sound on one of two linux machines. The one that has sound still has no wireless.
The amount of buggering about to get even the simplest things working means it's more cost effective to just buy another laptop and install XP.
Once you've got rid of Vista you're ready to rock. |

I have an issue with the client in Linux - the keyboard shortcuts for menu items do not work in network games, only standalone. This means I can't load or save setups, or (theoretically) concede. The Right-mouse-button menu doesn't work under any circumstances.
I'm wondering if it's a Java issue, or something else? |

Shouldn't be a java issue ... guess the client uses some os specific input layer ... but it's only a guess |
