Does it happen to you all time ?

I have a problem with adding new songs.
I can play everything i had put in in windows, but when i add a new song(i even tried extracting them manualy) i cant play no song.
the menus work, but as soon as i go "ingame" the song freezes while loading.
after deleting the new songs folder, everything works fine again.
edit:
now after rebooting my machine its working
lol

Sorry for my bad english i'm italian :)

I've followed all the instructions in the first page, but osu! doesn't work. When I try to launch the installer with wine, this error appears "The file '/home/malcolm/Documenti/osu!install.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit."

What does it mean? I have ubuntu since few days and I can't still use it properly.
I hope someone could help me :)

Trying to get this to run in Ubuntu 11.04 has been nothing but fail for me. Upon executing the osu! logo appears, promptly disappears and that's it.



Tried this with both mono and dotnet20

That's not their problem. As you can see in terminal, there is some issues with your audio and video cards.
First of all, have you installed NVidia/ATI(AMD) proprietary drivers? It's very important, 'cause GPU doesn't work in full power with standard linux video drivers.
Don't know what to say about audio error, never had it, sorry.

The proprietary drivers are one of the first things I installed.

Hello again, now I have a netbook (1gb RAM, Intel integrated Graphics 256mb) with ubuntu 11.04 and wine but the "Osu!" run at 1 fps, too slow, any suggestions?

I've also tried a lighter distribution of ubuntu, easypeasy, but it seems that net framework is not installed properly and open Osu!, logo appears and then just disappears :(

Another experience I had is that I easypeasy games ran perfectly, even better than windows, Touhou to 60 fps. But in Ubuntu 11.04 games are very slow and do not look good as Touhou



I had stayed with easypeasy but as there was no solution to the problem of Osu and net, I changed

I am writing this on BackTrack 5. Osu! is start but it is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally laggy, and slow load time. I think this this will don't work for me, so I am change back to windows now. But it is a good OS anyway, just not for osu!. ._.

Well, I've got some serious problems running Osu in Ubuntu 11.10:
1. Bancho won't launch.
2. Beatmaps don't work. When I try to start a beatmap, it just goes to the beatmap and does nothing.
3. When I exit Osu, it makes the resolution stuck and I have to reset my computer for it to resize. I can't change it manually after I exit Osu.

I'm having the same problem but I had resolved in my other computer, the problem is that I do not remember! I think it had more to install a library and the problem of the resolution has to run on a virtual desktop and your problem of bancho I have no idea because it does not start :/

Running it on a virtual desktop fixed my 3rd problem, thanks!

Problem: whenever I start a beatmap, I see the background and nothing happens. I try to return to the menu, I get a black screen and have to force osu to close.

Ok newbe here, but i got it working. let me work on my grammar and get it set up with a pictured guide (tested on 11.10)

It means you do not have super user access. basically it is saying you can not change any system settings. find an account that is admin level and go on with the install. If you do not have admin access talk to the person who helped you with your ubuntu install

Some things to note as i have been messing
opengl seems to kill the back option and edit mode
direcx makes random lag. Edit mode works. and back button works unlike opengl
so opengl for game play and direcx for edit (unless you have a more powerful gpu than me.)

Open a terminal
run the command
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine1.3
this will install wine 1.3 and winetricks
next run the command
winetricks

follow the pictures attached


only click the d3dx9 the ones below are apart of that one. < optional. works but game gave me random lag
dotnet20
gdiplus
mono28

click ok and follow any installers that show up
Follow the pictures again

dssound=Emulation
ddr=opengl
sound=alsa

now run the installer.
The installer will say that it failed. but all the files where extracted into the "program files" folder.
run osu! should be in your dash.
in the settings change the graphics to opengl. you might a few error warnings, but it will still start i got no lag with this.
now you have osu on ur ubuntu box

^This tuto don't work for a netbook, you have a better CPU That is the reason that you see is not slow. In OpenGL throws me about 6 fps but in directx I get about 120 to 200 fps, the problem it's i have problem to start a map, this don't start and I know the problem is the audio in wine and its version 1.3, the problem with version 1.2 is that in ubuntu 11.10 does not let you give permission to the file to run as an application

The other problem I have is that I can not install an older version of ubuntu, there comes a time when the installation does not continue

PD: clarified that in my desktop PC in Ubuntu 11.04 goes perfect the only problem I have is in the netbook

what do you mean permission? 1 of two things i can think of if it is the installer,
right click it and select wine under the "open with" option.
and/or
right click. select properties > premissions tab > tick the execute option.

also i will test on a netbook aswell, my sister has an 1.6 intel atom netbook.

HOLY SHIT everybody who playing on sandy bridge should update to the 3.1 kernel. I had about 180fps on <3.1 kernel and on 3.1 >300fps!
BTW I'll write small tutorial tomorrow how to run osu with maximum speed.

I would say to go for it, if you do not mind going out side the stable area. other wise wait untill then, i don't think it is worth risking a system crash for extra FPS when you are already at 180fps.
If you know what your doing, go for it. if you don't, THEN WAIT.
Just because it worked for 1 does not mean it will work for the rest. i will be test osu on stable wine (wine 1.2) tomorrow between my 2 classes.

I can not run Osu! on my netbook! someone can make a noob guide step by step for me please?
SatoXYN
rocker2344, kernel 3.1 is a current stable kernel. Why shouldn't I use it?

Well, a tutorial here.
I'm using ArchLinux with latest kernel(3.1) and latest wine(1.3.32) with a sandy brigde intel HD3000 gpu on Lenovo Thinkpad x220 laptop.
1) Copy installed osu folder to your home directory or any suitable path.
2) Run winetricks dotnet20
3) Run winetricks gdiplus ddr=opengl dsoundhw=Full fontsmooth=rgb glsl=disabled multisampling=disabled rtlm=disabled strictdrawordering=disabled
4) Always run osu in a wine's desktop window. It would add some FPS because without desktop window wine probes video ports every VBLANK. I have 160 FPS without desktop window and 250 with desktop window.
vblank_mode=0 WINEDEBUG=-all WINEARCH=win32 wine explorer.exe /desktop=osu,1366x768 osu\!.exe
where 1366x768 your resolution.

Try not to use pulseaudio. If you don't really need it, just remove it, if you cannot remove it use pasuspender

Run osu and execute
cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params
If you buffers are high(above 8192 I think) then you can make them lower to make audio latency lower.

Create /etc/asound.conf with this:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}

pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 512
buffer_time 0
buffer_size 2048
}
}
Change period_size and buffer_size to bigger values if you have no sound at all or shuttering.

Disable composite while playing! this is one of the most important thing.

how do you create he archive asound.conf? is the only step I'm missing

Ty for the tut. I say 3.1 is not stable because it is not currently marked as stable on http://kernel.org It was marked as mainline.
I will take what you have here and make it work for the ubuntu/fredora users. just because every distro is slightly different.

ok. then your account is a "user" account and not an admin. If this is so you should be able to reboot and choose recovery mode.
in recovery mode there is no mouse. so either save this on paper or open this in another computer

Reboot
select recovery
an option window will show.
select root shell (pick the one with out the net option)
you are now root (if a password has not been set for the root account)
run the command
addgroup user admin
and to be safe because i have not done this in a long time
addgroup user sudo
now type
reboot

you can now run sudo commands
SatoXYN
TsuyoiKirkland what distro do you have?
rocker2344 why you gave some advices if you don't know the distro? And don't look at kernel.org because it isn't fully working now because of hack from september. Current stable is 3.1.

because linux commands are generic. and if you're on a linux distro, you should know how to do what he said to begin with.
SatoXYN
dkun, no. For example, in my distro (ArchLinux) you should add user to group "wheel", not "admin" and edit /etc/sudoers to allow run sudo in wheel group.

Well, thanks, but when I enter in recovery, it shows "You will lose all your files", and I don't want to lose it, so.. I think I'll have to play osu! on my computer (with Windows). Anyway, thanks~!

Name of thread.

Solution: Running Osu! In Ubuntu or Xubuntu
idr if tsuyo mentioned what distro they have. so default is ubuntu.
if they mentioned that they have a diffrent distro, i would have researched what to do for said distro.

Kernel.org, i thought the hack issue would have been fixed over the last 2 months????
then if 3.1 is the stable, i say go for it if it is known to work well with your distro. Example Sato's arch.
i dont think 3.1 is in the ubuntu repo's yet.
nope it is not. as of 9/11/11 4pm est
SatoXYN
rocker2344, well, why do you think that ubuntu is a default distro? BTW current stable kernel is 3.1.1 and I don't think that ubuntu's repos includes it because it's 'latest' stable.

[quoteNice work I gotta say. Also what specs have you got ? I wanna try Ubuntu but I love osu!, if its runs laggy then theres no point for me trying. I rather stay on windows and have osu!][/quote]
Try using Double-OS (install both Ubuntu and Windows), Ubuntu is Designed for Double-OS Use or Download VirtualBox and run osu! on it ;)
