Wow, it's been quite some time since I used Linux .. nice to be back again

So, I tried to follow your (in fact easy to understand) guide Espionage, but I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64Bit installed and I just don't know where or how to setup a 32 bit Prefix for Wine

Anyway, nice to see how People keep up with osu! on Linux, I'm impressed

martin@martin-PC:~$ WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/home/martin/.wine' is a 64-bit installation.

Yeah, I somehow got that far but everytime I type that in the result looks like this:

martin@martin-PC:~$ WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/home/martin/.wine' is a 64-bit installation.

And when I try to use winetricks dotnet20 the installer just tells me that it can't be installed on 64-bit architecture

You guys do realize it's far easier to configure a Play On Linux install than simply using Wine, right? PlayOnLinux already provides a CSMT-patched wine version (1.7.1-CSMT) but you must disable Strict Draw Ordering on the Display tab.

I don't use POL, but wouldn't it run into the same exact issues and basically be the same install process?

You still need a 32-bit Wine prefix, you still need dotnet20, and afaik, you still need to manually create the folder for osu!, copy osume.exe over to it, and run it.

POL is an unsupported Wine frontend, so if anyone has any unexpected issues with osu!, now not only is the problem not limited to just Wine, but also with POL. It might make the menu/desktop shortcut creation easier, if anything, along with easier handling of multiple prefixes if you need them.

As long as you use strict draw ordering, you won't have any graphical issues with RadeonSI, but you will have significantly lower performance.

Have you verified fglrx to be working properly? Try typing fglrxinfo in Terminal to see info, and then fgl_glxgears and see if anything appears.

As for mmstick's note, the open-source radeon driver is also something to try if fglrx isn't working out for you.

Last I heard, Oibaf's PPA had little-to-no support for saucy (still appears to be the case). Only things you'd get out of it on saucy are "glamor-egl" and "wayland" if I understand right, unless you manually specify the raring branch instead?

mmstick wrote:

Support for Saucy was added two days ago. The benefit of Oibaf is more than just glamor, but that the xorg drivers that shipped with Ubuntu 13.10 are nearly 3 months old. Marek Olsak joined AMD's open source team and began submitting patches on July 30th 2013, of which he has regularly submitted a substantial amount of patches, especially in the last 3 months. To benefit from that, you need the latest drivers, aka Oibaf, who stays up-to-date with the latest git efforts.

Once you have Wine installed, you first run WINEARCH=win32 winecfg to create the 32-bit prefix (you can close the Wine Configuration window once it appears). Then from there, you run the winetricks dotnet20 command.

Not entirely sure what's up with the sliders (maybe try the Force slider setting from osu!'s Options), but as for Fonts, maybe try installing gdiplus with winetricks?

Okay, here are my general points of advice for running osu! in Arch Linux (I recently bought a new hard drive and had to do it all again)
1. Create a NEW, FRESH 32-bit wineprefix. ($ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX='~/.wine'; rm -rf ~/.wine; wine 'wineboot') or so
2. Install .NET 2.0 ($ winetricks dotnet20)
3. Install image libraries. (# pacman -S lib32-libpng lib32-giflib lib32-libjpeg-turbo)
4. Install graphics libraries. (# pacman -S lib32-mesa) but choose your graphics card of course ($ lspci | grep VGA)
4. Set proper audio output in Wine. ($ winecfg)

DO NOT run osu! with Mono though that seems counter-intuitive; it will immediately throw an InvalidProgram exception.
If you get pink sliders and backgrounds do not load, etc, you need the 32-bit image libraries mentioned above.
If you aren't using open-source driver for your graphics card, you probably should be, but it's your system so you know best.

These steps work for me. It is very finicky but once you get it, it should run absolutely fine. Good luck

Step 1. Download and install PlayOnLinux for your respective distribution.

Step 2. Install Wine through your respective Software Manager (i.e Ubuntu's Software Center) or download and install it from WineHQ.

Step 3. To install osu! with the script from the official POL repository;

Navigate to File > Install
Tick the "Testing" checkbox
In the search bar, type in "osu". You should now see the script listed, select it and press the Install button.

Step 4. Follow the installation instructions. It's not rocket science.

Alternative installation instructions;
Download and extract the osu!installer package from here. In the PlayOnLinux client, navigate to Tools > Run a local script and load the osu!installer script, then follow the installation instructions.

1. Exiting the options screen
2. Entering the song list screen
3. Picking a song (but not yet picking the difficulty), after a couple of seconds
4. Picking the difficulty, before the song loads -- by far the most common and so far I haven't managed to get past this after my first couple of times

~400fps on Windows on 1366*668 resolution, 800*600 is around ~800-1000fps

Also, @boat: Something always breaks when I try to tinker around with it under Linux. No exceptions. This time, even pressing the "update" button was enough. :/
