The Linux version is still quite unstable
and now has lost sound again!
~/Downloads/Foldit/Foldit $ ./Foldit
Foldit Error: The game has previously not started up correctly.
If this problem persists, please install the latest version.
AL lib: oss.c:169: Could not open /dev/dsp: No such file or directory
There is no /dev/dsp in Linux:
$ uname -a
Linux rk12m15 3.8.0-35-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 3 01:24:59 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
the actual used foldit version is
20140424-4e3be92cc0-linux_x64
#1. regarding the first error, the one related to /dev/dsp:
this is because /dev/dsp is in use by another audio application.
to prevent this, you need to run the application as follows:
- if you use pulseaudio (default in ubuntu):
padsp ./Foldit
- if you use alsa:
aoss ./Foldit
#2. other errors:
foldit will segfault if permissions are not correctly set.
make sure the foldit folder has write permissions so files being downloaded can be written to that folder.
After update and automatic restart i get error message - something about zip file.
I exit FoldIt and start it again. It updates another time (only binary).
After automatic restart i get error message - "Failed writing received data to disk/application: Error contacting server." over splash screen with start button.
And this case continue repiting.mc
