You don't need to do anything special with this issue nor download older version of osu!. Open up terminal and enter:
winetricks dotnet35
if it fails don't care about that and install also

It should start now!
On my second computer dotnet35 fails so I installed xna31 and then again dotnet35 but it fails again. But who cares? It works.

I haven't tried osu! yet recently (just got done installing some Xubuntu though), but last I checked, only dotnet20 was still required.

"If" I understand right, dotnet35 installed dotnet20 as well as 3, leading to more bulk that you don't necessarily need, along with increasing the risk of conflict if you use the same wineprefix for other stuff.

But in any case, both of those statements are just what I assume; haven't really tried it myself for a while, but I'll be sure to soon.

666th post :p

Yeah you are right. That's why I have separate prefix only for osu!. On my computer I had only dotnet20 and started at wine version 1.5.25 and without any error continuosly updating to the newer version of the wine. Now I have this patched version of wine -> https://launchpad.net/~foresto/+archive/winepatched/. Only one time it crash! and I have to ran osume.exe. No more issue I spotted. And I have nvdia proprietary drivers 313 updates installed through jockey-kde. Before few days osu! wont started. So I tried installed dotnet35 and xna31.(peppy wrote this in the linux installation manual, but also only dotnet20). So after that it starts working.(but the installation goes to the dotnet30)That's what goes for my computer. On my notebook I have updated and optimized open graphics drivers. -> https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers/ I have osu! in separated prefix with dotnet35 and xna40(installed today, trying something). + strictdrawordering=enabled(I have amd graphic card, without that the scroreboard and other text are broken) The only issue is that not every update completed successefully. So when it crash I run osume! and everything is working fine from the may's wine version 1.5.31 to the actual 1.7.8. Playing solo, multiplayer, Tag coop, creating beatmaps. Max fps 60. Running nicely. running osu! with vblank_mode=0 gave you higher fps, but I don't using it, because on 60 fps its fine.

I have also another prefix with dotnet20 only for osu! and that prefix is working on my notebook. But on my computer it wont start until updated dotnet. Strange

Sort of a fix in the mean time - I pulled an older version of osu (from a few days ago) from my laptop and dropped that into my wine folder and ran that directly.
You can get it here if you want to try yourself: http://gibsonsec.org/~zed/files/osu!.exe (md5sum: d47ef68157ed98a4973a7b0d53eddc78)
Hopefully peppy won't mind me distributing this as a fix in the mean time.

Great! This launcher fixes this problem in my box! My wine version is 1.6 stable, with winetricks and dotnet35. Thank you very much!

Hi. I'm not used to linux ( ubuntu 13.04 ) and i'd like to play osu!. I installed it 3 month ago. It worked well but one day suddently i had an error message. So i tried to install it with ur guide but i have some problems.

". Create a osu! folder in the Program Files folder in your Wine prefix, move osume.exe to it, and start osume.exe"
I don't find the Progam files folder :/ i searched everywhere but i don't know where it is.
So i tried to open osume.exe without moving it and i have this

as you're new to linux i have to ask you, did you know hidden folders (and files) starts with a "." ?
if i were you i'd look for a .wine folder or something like that to find the Program files but i don't have wine installed, and don't know it well, so it's only a guess.

---

You can try to install xna 3.1, it worked for me. However it can cause problems if you use more applications with wine. If it's your case, you should imo create another wineprefix for osu. Sorry for my English.
Terminal> winetricks xna31

-----
Personally I'm using Debian Testing (Jessie) x86_64, Wine 1.7.9 32bit custom build inside i386 chroot (i use schroot), after installing dotnet20 and xna31 osu! is sometimes a bit laggy but quite playable on my Intel GMA 4500 MHD and Core 2 Duo (GM 45 chipset)

Updated my guide a bit and clarified a few things: p/2577747

It would seem xna31 is necessary now also. If you only installed dotnet20 and osu! crashes on startup, try also installing xna31.

@Kiciuk
enable Strict Draw Ordering in winetricks for fix this problem this should work

Hmm, so, it would appear xna31 isn't actually needed. Installing xna31 installs dotnet20sp2, which is what is needed.

I was able to get osu! running by just installing dotnet20sp2.

Edit: Even dotnet20sp1 works with osu!. Just plain dotnet20 doesn't though.

I'm working on a slight different installation guide that would involve putting osu! in it's own prefix and disabling winemenubuilder (to get rid of the annoying error about it since dotnet20sp1/2), along with a proper desktop shortcut and icon. So far, the only downside is that you have to manually transfer .osz files to the Songs folder...

I'm playing osu! on playonlinux but the sound is playing with a robotic static like effect, it didnt do this until i played for a while. osu! is using dmusic to run the sound.

Sounds like it could be related to either ALSA or PulseAudio (although I think PoL defaults to ALSA). I might suggest trying the other out (would have to edit the registry I think or use winetricks).

Thank you

If using fglrx, it would appear that you may be required to use a CSMT-patched version of Wine for osu! to work properly at all. Without a CSMT-patched Wine, osu! would randomly lock-up during things like song select, skin selection, etc. (tested on openSUSE 13.1 and Ubuntu 13.10 with a Radeon HD 7850, both with 13.12 and 13.11 V9.95 BETA).

Currently, I'm using a patched Wine from foresto's PPA.

I also noticed I had to have compositing enabled on Xfce (4.12 on Xubuntu 13.10) in order for osu! to fullscreen properly with fglrx.

I finally got osu! running by installing dotnet20sp2 (after suffering from a bad case of ignorance), however, whenever I move the window, the following error occurs:

Attempted to install xna31, to no help.

Also, seeing that this thread has now become 42 pages long (and seeing as there are just a few other threads about it), why don't we create an article for all of the useful information at https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Linux? There's already an install guide at https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Installation but it lacks a lot of specific information and troubleshooting, not to mention the fact that it still states dotnet20 as a dependency, which should now be dotnet20sp2. I might jump on it in an hour or two if nobody else does, but I'd like to get some practice in now that I have it working again.

Hmm, I may do it at some point (or check/edit it later if someone else gets to it). I recently updated the notes over on the Wine AppDB page though.

(idk if anyone here did it, but merging the Test notes over to Public and then changing Test to Beta was not the best idea imo... doesn't really make any sense. I got some cleaning up to do now)

As a minimum, you could get away with even dotnet20sp1. Not really sure if osu! runs any differently between dotnet20sp1 and dotnet20sp2 though, but from what I've seen, dotnet20sp1 is fine.

Winetricks does a 2-step process (I think it goes dotnet20 then dotnet20sp2), but PlayOnLinux makes it a 3-step process (dotnet20, dotnet20sp1, then dotnet20sp2) which seemed rather... excessive.

So basically, for a more minimalist install, dotnet20sp1 works, but I guess if you want to be up-to-date, dotnet20sp2 works also.

My osu works perfectly on Arch (using the AUR package), except for one thing.. Input lag is ridiculous, something like 300ms, the game is unplayable Anyone know of a fix?

Is the input delay present with both keyboard and mouse/tablet/pointing device?

Not really sure what you could try. Maybe toggle Vsync (either in-game or with GPU-specific settings). What's your hardware and kernel?

If you are using fglrx this late in the game with AMD graphics cards then you have missed the train. Fglrx is practically deprecated by the Linux community in favour of the faster, smoother, and glitch-free open source drivers. I've been using my Radeon HD 7950 with open source drivers for three months now and even games like TF2 and L4D2 are input-lag free and smooth while on Catalyst they are not. If your Mesa is compiled with LLVM 3.5 you even get full OpenGL 3.3 support -- OpenGL 3.1 support otherwise.

Add vblank_mode=0 to /etc/environment if you are using open source drivers.

It's been about a week since I tried the open-source driver, but fglrx on both my 7850 desktop and 7660G + 7670M laptop had a higher overall framerate. radeon wasn't too far behind at all, but generally speaking, I had no real problem with fglrx with the games I played.

My main problem with fglrx was with my laptop. If I kept the boot splash screen active, sometimes it would lock-up (both on Ubuntu and openSUSE). Removing "quiet splash" from grub's cfg fixed it seemingly though.

radeon on the other hand had some annoying color banding issue for me mostly noticeable on the desktop and certain windows and programs (especially Steam; Big Picture looked terrible).

Catalyst 14.1 Beta was just released a little while ago also: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-article ... river.aspx

The bold parts are your problem. It is highly recommended, especially if you have a RadeonSI graphics card, to upgrade to Ubuntu 13.10 and use Oibaf's PPA for the latest open source drivers.

Another thing that can contribute to massive input and game lag: using pulseaudio or dmix.

Use "$ pacmd suspend true" and "$pacmd suspend false" to flip pulseaudio on or off, and make sure that you have your audio device selected in winecfg.

Hello !

I'm looking for a solution to run Osu! on linux without admin rights. Wine isn't installed yet. I'm looking for a portable version of wine, but i didn't found anything.

Any potential solution is welcome. but i didn't found any of it. Here is my uname : Linux **hostname** 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux. If you want addition information about my system, i can give you all you want !

only portable app's for linux that I know of are http://portablelinuxapps.org/ and wine is not among them.

I'm not sure why you need to be able to use it as a non sudo user and that would most probably be your biggest issue even if there was a portable wine as there is a lot of other stuff you need installed not just wine.

I spent ages getting osu! working on my ubuntu box and then it only sorta worked, as in everything was "strange" when I actually went to play. The mouse would move slower and slower the closer you got to notes some background stuff was glitched, basically it was impossible to play anything above Easy difficulty's. Osu!mainea would not display properly and I did not check any of the other modes. If you really want osu! to be playable on Linux peppy needs to code it for Linux.

To do this, you'll need to compile wine from source.

1. Download the wine source from http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/wine/source/ ... 12.tar.bz2
2. Extract the source into a folder.
3. Open a terminal in that folder and run the following commands
   

   ./configure --prefix=$HOME/wine
   make
   make install

4. Edit the file "$HOME/.bashrc" and add the following line to the end:
   

   export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/wine/bin

It runs for me but runs at like 10 fps

probably because I have a shitty laptop

You might want to make sure that you have proper video drivers, and make sure you've got the 32bit ones as well if you're running 64 bit.
If you need or would like any more help, please provide your distribution and specs + GPU brand. :3

Kyon. If you have Ubuntu 13.10 and you are using open source drives, then try to add this repo:https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers/ and update the system.

im running a 64-bit version of ubuntu 13.10 and when i try too install .net framework 2.0 it says that it isnt supported on a 64-bit, any ideas on how to get around this?

You'll need to create a 32 bit wine prefix.
Open a terminal and run the following, then continue on.

$ export WINEARCH=win32
$ export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32

ok so i managed to install -framework 2.0 but still cant run osu!, i run the .exe with wine and it starts to load (loading wheel appears instead of cursor) and the nothing.

Run "winetricks dotnet20sp2" if you haven't already, then you need to put osume.exe in a folder and run it.

$ mkdir osu
$ cd osu
$ wget "http://osu.ppy.sh/release/osume.exe"
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine osume.exe

ok now the osu! update started, and after the update osu itself was able to launch. thanks a lot now i also understand why i didnt get it to work earlier

a little update for those of you who are interested: osu is runnign prefectly, i havent experienced any kind of problems and i have a very stable FPS (250FPS in-game) there are no error, graphical problems or other issues interfewring with my gameplay, sound is working perfectly etc.

so basically, thanks alot for the guide and to [kitty] for helping me while installing it.

sorry about all the posts but im here with some good news, i've found a really simple way to install and run osu! in ubuntu. note that this isnt the best solution and if you are able to get it running following the guide in this thread that would probably be best though this solution gives me around 150fps and the only bug ive found is the appearance of some names in the highscore/global ranking list.

first you need to download and install PlayOnLinux. this can be done by entering the following into the terminal:

 
$ wget -q "http://deb.playonlinux.com/public.gpg" -O- | sudo apt-key add -
  sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_precise.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install playonlinux

after you have done this run the program and let the wizard do the initial setup.

after the wizard finishes you will see this window (without the osu! shortcut):

click the "install a program" button and search for osu! in the game category



after you've found it just click it and run the installation like you would on a regular windows computer.

hope this helps some of you

If you're running a bleeding-edge system (Arch, Gentoo, Fedora...) and recently came into issues, such as:
1. The game running twice as fast as it should be
2. Really crackling sound

Run osu! from a terminal and watch output.
If you see a lot of:

ALSA lib pcm.c:7843:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred

You MUST downgrade pulseaudio.
For Arch users

bahamete@pc ~ $> cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
bahamete@pc /var/cache/pacman/pkg $> ls | grep pulseaudio
pulseaudio-4.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
pulseaudio-4.0-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
pulseaudio-4.0-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
pulseaudio-5.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
pulseaudio-alsa-2-2-any.pkg.tar.xz
bahamete@pc /var/cache/pacman/pkg $> sudo pacman -U pulseaudio-4.0-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 

You must do the same with libpulse and lib32-libpulse. It seems recent Pulseaudio update broke 32-bit ALSA compatibility, so do not update Pulse until we get pulseaudio-alsa update or something. I'll report back when this happens.

How is CTB for you, or combo bursts? If either of those are also corrupted, and if you happen to be using ATI/AMD graphics (doesn't matter what driver), try enabling StrictDrawOrdering, or use a CSMT-patched Wine (PoL offers a package).
