Now i have a windows based computer, I have tired Ubuntu once or twice but haven't toyed around with it enough i guess.

Linux seems to advanced for me, I'd still like to try this but not on my main.

I try to install Osu on ubuntu 10.10 try many ways... but nothing... Linux Mint 10 - Osu work.

But I've got one problem... when I start play the song there are no music....T_T

Some thoughts:
Chopping sound is a kernel issue. When i was running stock ubuntu 2.6.35 everything was fine, when I installed liquorix kernel the sound was choppy sometimes and OSU in this time was freezed(that's very, very enraged me). Now i'm running 2.6.37 with ck-patchset(BFS as a scheduler), with preemption and with 1000hz timer, everything is much smoother now(I can compile something in 4 threads and play osu with no lags).

All you need to run osu is dotnet20, gdiplus, corefonts, fontfix and fontsmooth-rgb.
Make sure you have selected ALSA with hardware acceleration in wine config.
Also I set my mouse polling interval to 250hz because 100hz is slow for me. Just added in /etc/modprobe.d/usbhid.conf:
options usbhid mousepoll=4

I have ALSA and no pulseaudio so I got minimum latency.

If you like windows mouse acceleration way then try to use:
Device Accel Profile (249): 0
Device Accel Constant Deceleration (250): 1.000000
Device Accel Adaptive Deceleration (251): 1.000000
(these can be adjusted in xinput)

Hey everyone,

I used winetricks to install dotnet20 and corefonts, and I tried installing osu! with wine but it crashes at the "Publishing product information" step; wasn't sure if there was a specific fix for this. Attempting to run osu! after this error gives a "File not found" error dialog.

I tried copying over a working installation from my Windows system hoping it would have all the files but no luck, same error.

Any ideas?

thanks to mrmike503's post i've installed osu! and it worked correctly except some lag when sliders appears O_O

im using Arch i686 on my Phenom box
- amd phenom II x2 at 3.2ghz
- 2gb of ram
- nvidia geforce 6150 nforce430 (256mb vram)

the game runs correctly at 110FPS~175FPS with a resolution of 800x600, but with some lag when a slider appears

I leave a log from osu! output in console, maybe it could be useful for peppy...

Well, I can say that it works in Fedora 14 with the default GNOME interface, but as soon as I switch to GNOME3/GNOME Shell, It likes to hide itself..

._.
Note: If you wanna do anything related to WINE, use the default GNOME Interface. This includes Osu!
Nargajuna
for me, osu works best when i setup oss in winecfg and force wine to use alsa with aoss.
This is how i get it to work:

1st : Make sure you have wine >1.3 installed ( see "wine winver"). If you don't have it, get it on http://www.winehq.org/download/

2nd: Get a preunpacked Osu! (http://tinyurl.com/osuunpack ). MSI 3.1 Apps and MSI 3.1 itself won't work in Wine.

3rd: Get winetricks ( http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks )

4th: create a new wineprefix:
mkdir ~/osu
export WINEPREFIX=~/osu

5th: use winetricks:
winetricks corefonts gdiplus dotnet20 fontfix ddr=opengl mwo=force sound=oss

6th: extract osu into your prefix

7th: Create a script

export WINEPREFIX=~/osu
cd ~/osu/drive_c/osu
aoss wine osu!.exe

Warning: Don't switch the Renderer or try Setting up your mouse.
If you want to setup your mousehandling try
xset m 2 4
The first Number is for setting the speed and the seond is for setting the acceleration

Sry for my bad english :D

Wine 1.3.15, archlinux x86-64. Winearch is win32 (required by winetricks dotnet20).
Fortunately XP in virtualbox works (even with directx and shaders).
Nargajuna
did you get the osu error window?
wal13x
No, osu just drops CPU usage to ~1% and sleeps for hours (and wine repeats fixme: line).
I somehow managed to get osu window but just one time. Looks like race condition, but I can't understand what triggers it on my system.
Sergio B_old
Ok I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. I followed the instructions around the whole topic and I've installed osu! with no problems. I had an issue with the audio which I fixed by changing the Audio mode to "Emulated" in Wine configuration. Now osu! runs fairly well but it lags. When a circle appears and I click it the next circle lags like hell, same happens with the sliders after a slider the next one lags a lot. There is no problem with spinners.

I thought it may be compiz so I disabled it but to no avail, I configured wine to forbid the window decorator to apply decorations on wine windows but still doesn't work.

I don't know what else to do. I have an Intel graphics card not nVidia or ATI but in the same PC i can play osu! with no problems in Windows.

Oh i have to say that I couldn't make it work with OpenGL renderer as soon as i switch to OpenGL the X Server crashes and in the wine log it shows this:

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 155 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 11 (X_GLXSwapBuffers)
Serial number of failed request: 1329
Current serial number in output stream: 1341

It is a shame because I was so clase..... I will keep trying and if I can make it run well enough to play I will post again.

Go Linux users! We have to persevere!

Seems like archlinux lib32-nvidia (or wine) package is broken. Works in gentoo (though virtualbox still is much faster).
SpacemanSpiff
Fair warning to Wine users right now, I believe there is a bug right now either in the latest test build of wine or winetricks (maybe both) that is causing dotnet20's installation to fail. This may be just an Arch Linux only problem, but I thought I'd throw that out there to people who might consider an update.

Update: Seems like something was missing and a reboot fixed it. (I just switched HDs for my OS. It was broken on both the old and new build, I assumed Wine was the issue.)
Eddotan
about bug in dotnet20, it's a problem in last update of wine..
not only in arch linux happens


hope that wine's dev solve this bug soon, because osu! doesn't run with Mono unfortunately

EDIT: bug solved, download last update of winetricks from DanKegel's website
DjYXA
With Wine 1.2.2 we can run Osu! fine, the installer crashes at final step but, the game install correctly and it runs with some glitches ( its playable without sound.. we have to set sound lib to OSS)

So... anyone here runs it with ALSA lib succefully ? i cant play without music :(

EDIT: FIXED!!!
Select ALSA LIb and in Acceleration Hardware option set "EMULATE" :D

Now i can play Osu! and with Online option :D

Thanks to Nargajuna for instructions, now I'm finally able to run osu! on Ubuntu! (10.10, Wine 1.3.17)

But there is still the problem: I'm able to run osu, but unable to play it.
Here is what I have done:
1. Launched the script from terminal.
2. osu! started and music was playing.
3. Started solo, selected some song => it has started but sound turned off and game frozen before circles appear.
4. But I could press Esc and go to song selection again. There is still no sound, and I selected other song, but it frozen again.
5. Relaunching osu! will make music play again, but starting any song always makes sound turn off.

What should I do to make osu playable? It's no good having such a game just as a jukebox. :D

@Refon_S
do this: winetricks orm=backbuffer rtlm=disabled

and try launch osu! again

No, game still freezes. :(
Refon_S
Yay, I solved the problem! RTFM'ing the topic, I found that solution was simple, I just needed to turn switch hardware acceleration to "Emulate".
Now I'm able to play, almost without lags. ^_^
Still need to check online play, but something is wrong with multiplayer now, probably something with the server.
Baspar
IF you want that we solve ( Or try to solve) your problem, copy-paste here the result of the shell when you launched OSU in it and crashed.
Refon_S
Another (not critical, but somewhat) problem - when I'm clicking internet link (to download a map, or something else) in osu! window, nothing happens, and there is "fixme" in terminal window:
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
What should I do to make links working?
wal13x
Works for me (with same fixme:). Try to export BROWSER variable.
Refon_S
I made links working in osu (well, they become working after downloading beatmap and autolaunching it from Ubuntu's Firefox), but there is another problem, Terminal shows a lot of same "errs" when shaders turned on:
err:d3d:state_pscale >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_VALUE (0x501) from glPointSize(...); @ state.c / 1579
The shader effects are working, but lots of "errs" can mean that they are not working properly. I don't know how to fix it, but this is unnecesary for me, 'cause I'm not using them. :D

hello I am an arch 64bit user too...
tried wine & wine-git, both failed when trying to install dotnet20(cannot install on 64 bit system?)

so i tried bin32-wine-suse, and succeeded then.
i installed dotnet20 gdiplus corefonts via winetricks, and tried all the tricks mentioned above, but now i have a very laggy window full of craps when using d3d, but opengl works pretty well... except for the speed,
yeah, both d3d and opengl only have an fps <5, that's impossible to play!

Check lib32 videocard drivers and libGL symlink. I had up to 50fps on integrated nvidia (with binary drivers) with directx + latest wine (installed wine-1.2, winetricks dotnet20, then upgraded wine).
It's still less playable than virtualbox+opengl (which gives stable 60 FPS=vsync and no tearing on spinners; wine+opengl does not work for me).

thank you! i've missed the lib32-intel-dri and after i have it installed, now i had up to 45 fps on integrated intel with both directx and opengl. but directx is still more laggy than opengl, and the mouse move are both too hard to play...
and.. in vbox+opengl i only get up to 3fps and crazy laggy window..is there anything else i'm still missing?

I'm moved to Arch. I have pulseaudio and with usual wine the game starts fine, music is playing, but when you begin to start playing you can play up to fist cicle, not more. It can be solved with wine-pulseaudio from AUR. I'm using KDE and for the best performance wrote a simple startup script

BTW i've got ~600FPS on my 9600gt green version.

Well, this mean that something is wrong with .NET again? And I need to fully reinstall wine, drivers, etc., or there is something less radical?

Added 21st April @ 16:37 UTC - Fully uninstalled wine and deleted prefix with settings. Then reinstalled it again. Then used the same Nargajuna's method as before. All is working properly :3
Refon_S
Doubleposting may be against rules but it's me again with problems. =_=

Now there is problem with the mouse: after spinner, the mouse sometimes (after pressing the button) goes away from normal position somewhere for some milliseconds, then comes back again. This can be serious while playing something hard. It doesn't happen somethere in other linux software, only in Wine. (1.3.18)
I tried with my normal mouse (Razer Krait) and with "substitute" (Logitech Pilot), but it looks like it's not the hardware problem and something is wrong with settings. What should i do?

Did you check winecfg's mouse settings? Might be something in there. Doesn't happen to me though.

Don't know what wrong was on previous settings, but after updating Ubuntu to 11.04 and reinstalling wine (from Ubuntu reps - 1.3.15) problem disappeared. Maybe that was some bug of wine 1.3.18?

New wine wouldn't support old OSS (and OSS emulation with ALSA).

You only have to tick ALSA ( Or JACk for me) in winecfg, and no more troubles ;)
AnnaleseSilverwing
Okay, I kept getting an error when I tried to install, but it ended up running just fine. Though, I think I'm missing something, based on the screenshot I have. Like, none of the text is there. Am I missing a font?

EDIT: It hangs when I try to play a beatmap.

Looks like you''ve skipped winetricks gdiplus.

Oh hey, that worked! Thanks!

EDIT: It still hangs when I try to play a beatmap. Like, I can move the cursor and pause it, but it won't start.

Check the rights oc the folder of the songs, perhaps that ... If it isn't that, launch OSU in a terminal and paste here the error

AnnaleseSilverwing you have to use wine-pulseaudio patches or to remove pulseaudio, the first is better.

Well, Sato, there is no really need for wine-pulseaudio. Silverwing, go to winecfg -> sound and set hardware acceleration to Emulate. When it set to Full, it encounters the problem with hanging beatmaps.

Hi, I'm using Arch Linux x86_64 and I have problem with osu! under wine. After a little time of playing the game crashes because of lack of graphics card memory. I've never had such error on Windows, and I have quite decent graphics (GF9800 GT) so it's not because of my rig. I'll be thankfull for help.

here's what osu! shows:

Pretty sure you have to enable the extra effects, go to System, then Appearance and after click on the visual effects tab and select the Extra option.
Download compizconfig as well, go to terminal and --> sudo apt-get install compizconfig.
marshallracer
wheew, easier than i thought <_<

follow instructions on Page 6, set Sound to ALSA and output to emulated, and you're done :)
at least, it runs as perfect as it does in windows for me ^^
only problem is, that the offset changes dramatically between both OS's <_<

Don't you have a jumping mouse problem after spinner with newest Wine (I mean 1.3.19)? 'Cause I had that one with 1.3.18.

I updated Wine from 1.3.15 to 1.3.19 yesturday, but testing today showed that I have the same error as garam. Well, I have even older graphics card - GeForce 8600 GTS. NVidia drivers are installed. There wasn't such error on 1.3.15 and I don't want to downgrade again >_<
Changing render from D3D to OpenGL makes no effect...

e.g.
xset m default ← restores defaul X mouse (accelerated)
xset m 1/1 1 ← no acceleration, 1:1 mouse
xset m 5 1 ← 5 times faster, still no acceleration
xset m 3/2 1 ← 1.5 times faster.
xset q|grep accel ← check currrent settings.
If second number is not 1, acceleration will be enabled. I don't sure if you want this.
You can make a wrapper launcher for osu if you want to change mouse speed only while osu is running (like xset m <osu> <settings>
wine 'osu!.exe'
xset m default).
ED: most players (including me) prefers to change speed and disable acceleration (acceleration changes speed on fast movements, hard to adapt on jumps) but you're free to do what you like.

Hm, if you have no problems, looks like I have to delete a prefix and remake it (again). 'Cause something is always going wrong after updating prefixes for new Wine version.

Well, remaking prefix hadn't helped with videomem lacking, and jumping mouse came back. =_=

So, i downgraded to 1.3.15, there is no such problems. If someone have problem with memory lacking and crash, look at this bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27134 - I submitted it yesturday, if you have the same, leave a comment and make a vote. Probably developers will show attention to it and will fix it.

Same trouble here. But the game doesn't crashed at any time. When I play this map: http://osu.ppy.sh/s/22040 , game crashed always at the same moment. OSU shows an error" graphic card out of memory" and same in a shell, always a hexa number which shows a memory slot... I'll follow your tip, and I'lll downgrade wine...

You're right, Baspar! There is no crashes on 1.3.20. However, there is still a bit jumpy cursor after spinner. What could fix him?
Someone said that setting mouse sensitivity to 1x can fix it, but I never changed it, used only "xset m".

Also, I noticed, there is no need to set sound HardwareAcceleration to Emulated. Game is not "hanging" with HA set to Basic, Standard and Full now.
Baspar
OSU's mouse sensitivity must be at 1x and the acc must be off too.

For the settings, I used xset m 7/4 .

Do you set it like that ?

If it's not the trouble.. Send us a return of wine in a terminal ( All the useful errors )


EDIT/
Well, this new version bring me an other problem: Each 5~10 min, the game shuts down with error "err:seh:setup_exception_record nested exception on signal stack in thread" (Following by few hexa numbers) Is someone in the same case ?

Well, osu's mouse settings are set to defaults (1x, mouse prescision off),
xset m 3/2 1 (1 means acc is default - off
But mouse is still jumping after spinner, sometimes for some pixels, sometimes to the other side of screen. Even when xset m 1 1.

About a new problem: sorry, never had it, so I couldn't help you.
Baspar
And with another mouse ? It can be caused by your mouse...
Some mouse don't support too much acceleration, and they do a odd thing during a second.

No, tested 3 mice (Razer Krait, Logitech Pilot and Genius NetScroll+ Mini), all of them jumping. It's really a software problem... Maybe something is wrong in Linux kernel (I have custom bulit 2.6.38.6) or Wine (built from sources of 1.3.20, but I changed nothing). I'll try testing on oringinal Ubuntu kernel and Wine from their repos...

Gah, I don't know what to do... Linux kernel is latest from Ubuntu repo (2.6.38-9-generic), also is WIne. But this bug is still there! D:
Baspar
I'm on the last Wine, like you ( 1.3.20-2 or -3, I don't remember..)
But my kernel isn't the same: i'm on 2.6.32-lts.
Do a backup of your kernel and compile it again ( the 2.6.38) and if it doesn't work, try with a more regular kernel, the 2.6.32
Refon_S
Downgraded wine to 1.3.15 again... I should've done it earlier. No jumping mouse here.
Baspar
Lastest wine (1.3.20) seems to be buggy... I've got FC of the game, you've got cursor jumps.... I wish those bugs will be repared in the future....

I'll do like you, I'll compile 1.3.15 :S
eldavid39
how can I play online? I'm using ubuntu 11.04 and wine 1.3.20, I can use all the funtions but only offline.
when I put my ID and pass osu just do nothing.
Any ideas?
Baspar
First, check if you've installed all the component to play OSU! ( List on the first page )

SEcondly, Wine 1.3.20 seems to cause troubles. First, try OSU! with wine 1.3.15 ( That you can found the sources here in order to compile them if you don't find the DEB file )

If the problem presists, send us a return of a terminal will you are trying to access to the online mode.
Wassaaaa
here I leave my guide to Ubuntu 11.04, Osu! run to perfection with little bugs but more than playable

Made for those who do not want to deal with the terminal and commands :o

1) Open ubuntu software center > type "wine" and install "Wine Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer" (81mb)

2)Go to the ubuntu logo in the top left of the screen and type "wine" then enter "Winetricks"

3) Select "Select the default wineprefix" then choose "Install a windows DLL or component"

4) You need to install the following:
d3dx10
dedx11_42
dedx9
dedx9_26
dedx9_28
dedx9_31
dedx9_35
dedx9_36
dedx9_42
dirac
directx9
dotnet20 (Important! don't install NET 3.0 or 3.5, your going to have problems)
gdiplus
msxml6
gecko
vcrun2005
msvcr80
atmlib


5) Go to the ubuntu logo in the top left of the screen and type "wine" then enter "Configure Wine" (I don't know how it is written in English but only comes into the wine glass)

this will create a configuration file, now we go to the tab "Audio" in the Hardware Acceleration option switch "Complete" to "Emulation" then close


6) Now download Osu! but do not open, go to the installation file, right click and select Properties. Go to the Permissions tab and check the option "Allow executing file as program", Close.


7) The first time you install a program you have to give right-click and choose open with wine windows program loader:

Then installed without problems and they create a shortcut, now we're ready to play! (run 1000% better in Fullscreen mode)
I'll skip a NET error, but only give him to continue


To go to the folder of Osu! should go to your user folder "User" then choose from the options panel "View> "Show Hidden Files"

we go to the folder ".wine> drive_c> programs files> Osu!"
Baspar
When I have installed OSu ( few month ago) I have only needed directx9 and dotnet20 on winetricks...

But your problem ( More precisely the problem with skins ) are strange.. I have never got this type of trouble...
Refon_S
Don't really know about DirectX and turning hardware sound acc to "emulation", is it really needed? Osu! works wonderful on my PC without DX and sound acc is set to "full". Only a .NET Framework 2.0 is installed.
Baspar
Both are not really needed. I've just remove all d3dxx.dll files, and the game starts again. So directx isn't obligatory.
It's the same for audio, both option works.

However, it can depends of your OS, GNU/Linux is very sensitive :P
Wassaaaa
You're right, but I've added the directX files to play other games (like need for speed, MMORPG's and others) only with Osu! I have small bugs, others go without bugs

Hello!
I've bought brand new ATI Radeon HD 5870 and osu! runs preety slow. I had ~500-600 fps on my old GeForce 9600GT Green and only 300-400 fps and some lags on new videocard. Enjoy your ati?
Refon_S
Wine 1.3.21 has been released... So I downloaded source and tried compiling it. After some "segfault" errors I understood that extreme overclocking (Processor: 2660 -> 3900 MHz, RAM(DDR2): 333 MHz 6-6-6-18 -> 300 MHz 4-4-4-12) makes my machine VERY unstable. And something happened to custom kernel too... now there is Ubuntu's default 2.6.38-9-generic kernel and my machine has default settings.

Well, after all, I compiled new version, and, what my test showed: first of all, there is no jumping cursor after spinners now! ;) Bug with video mem lack crashes hasn't returned, and that's awesome too. Baspar, could you please check new Wine on your machine, maybe bugs and errors you were talking about in .16-.20 were fixed.
Wassaaaa
lol, I installed Photoshop CS5 with a DLL and other windows components who asked and now Osu! works perfectly, no bugs, just like in windows, I can change the skins and find friends

I downloaded the following:
msxml6
gdiplus
gecko
vcrun2005
msvcr80
atmlib

now if I'm completely satisfied with ubuntu!

I was already on 1.3.21 when I've the problem :S

But I know what I am supposed to do to avoid this problem: I have to don't skip the opening/ending break :P

Like I say, Linux is very sensitive ><


And SatoXYN, ATi's linux drivers are less led than the nvidia one... Prehaps because of that :S

Wassaaaa: I think it's because of gdiplu. On some tutorials, they quot this package in order to play OSU


The most important/buggy element required by OSU is .NET :P

ATI opensource driver with mesa (xf86-video-ati) makes my 5870 garbage.
ATI catalyst blob is preety laggy. I don't know how to play osu with it. I have ~45gb of osu maps and when i choose map it runs 20 fps only, while on 9600gt was 60-70 fps. And there are some in-game lags which drives me crazy too.

I have artifacts both in osu and in OS/browser!
Trying to flash the bios
Baspar
Mmh.. I can't help you, I have never got an ATi graphic card :S

Mmmm i have all beatmap packs in osu! and i have a ATI Radeon HD 5450 (low-profile) 1gb, Ubuntu 11.04, run at a resolution of 1024x768 (fullscreen) and runs 300 to 400 fps, in the options of CCC I have everything in Performance and and all options enabled in Osu! not that kind of problem you have, sorry

They should push Mono.XNA further and all this would be no problem.. Meh.

So I downloaded the latest wine build and got all the dlls that were suggested and got this error:

Every help and suggestion would be very nice^^
Baspar
Have you installed all the packages listed above ?

If yes, I'll upload my OSu's folder, you'll only have to launch osu!.exe

Wine doesn't like osu installation .exe, so only way to run is to get a folder with pre-installed osu. There was one here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZXY2UTL7 (thanks to Nargajuna). Just put folder from archive and try lauhching osu!.exe in it.
Lenneth Wemyss
A small suggestion to anyone having troubles like choppy audio or similar.

Just try a fresh wine prefix.

It will work flawlessly in minutes.
Rukario
Sorry that the reply took so long but if I start the osu!.exe via wine the osu! logo appears but it no window ever appears.
after the logo disappears, at the spot where the logo was, the mouse also disappears.
Any idea why it never appears?
Baspar
Launch OSU in a terminal and show us the error(s).
Rukario
what was the terminal command for that? (sorry just started using Ubuntu)

Edit: I tried using it with "sudo wine osu!.exe" but I think the terminal doesn't like the "!", because it says "bash: !.exe: event not found"
Baspar
Try that:

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/osu\!/osu\!.exe

If you leave wine folder on default, it'll be OK

( And yes, in bash, if there's a space or a ! in a filename, it'll be \! and \(space) )
Rukario
Well it's outputting a lot of stuff but it basically repeats always "fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 16 not supported yet" all the time
Baspar
This isn't a big problem that..
Is there any other error, but without "fixme" on the begenning of the line ?

Have you install all the package listed on the first page ? ( Or on the post above )

What kind of video card? Which driver? When you run the Wine do not need to use the sudo.

err ... can someone tell me a good screen recording programm for linux, which also records the sound from the desktop and/or single windows?
so i maybe could make something like a little video tutorial ... or stuff ^^

I've alwas the same error, and i still play OSU

If the line begin with "fixme", the game can works.

That "fixme" is because of dotnet. But not appearing osu-window clearly shows that it is video-driver error.

Rukarioman, have you installed NVidia/ATI proprietary drivers? If not, install them using "Menu -> System -> Extra drivers" (don't know how exactly it's called in English, 'cause I have Russian version of Xubuntu).
If they are installed, try fully cleaning your wine prefix: enter "winetricks" in terminal, then "select the default wineprefix -> Delete ALL DATA AND APPLICATIONS INSIDE THIS PREFIX" (normally default wineprefix is
/home/%USERNAME%/.wine/
and don't forget to move your osu! folder from there (if it's there), or it will be deleted too).
Then, after cleaning prefix, it will be recreated with default settings. Close winetricks window, then type in terminal window once again:
winetricks corefonts fontfix gdiplus dotnet20
(Well, after "winericks" programs can go in any order, but better just copy-paste that line in you terminal)
After everything is installed, type "winecfg" in terminal and Wine Config window will appear. Select "Audio", and then in DirectSound section set Hardware Acceleration to "Emutation".

Well, after all of this procedures everything is working just perfect on my machine: Intel Pentium 4 3,66 GHz, 1Gb DDRII RAM, NVidia GeForce 8600 GTS. And my system is Xubuntu 11.04, kernel is custom-compiled 2.6.39.1.
If you won't have any problems, that's awesome, if that will be happening again, there is something wrong with your system and/or hardware.

Thank you very much :) My osu initially ran and I could see the main menu window, but I couldn't figure out why the fonts weren't rendering, however, when I ran winetricks corefonts fontfix gdiplus it was fixed. Then I realized the sound was screwed up because everytime I ran it the sound would play for like 10 seconds or so then stop for no apparent reason, but once again your post saved me again by changing DirectSound to "Emulation". Now osu! runs perfectly on Ubuntu :D.
SugoiReborn
I hope that's not unrelevant.
I successfully installed Osu!, but it won't let me play a song. Suddenly nothing happens and any sound is being muted.
What shall I do?
Baspar
Download your OSZ files, and place them on the folder: "/home/username/.wine/drve_c/Program files/osu !/Songs/"
(Replace username by yours )
When you'll launch OSU, song will be updated , but if it doesn't work, press F5 to force reload.

Maybe it is because of DirectSound hardware acceleration? osu! don't like the "Full" setting, try switching it to "Emulation" in wine config. Or this is something with your sound system (I'm using PulseAudio with ALSA without any problems).

I turned it on emulation mode, and it all works perfectly, but it won't let me use text input areas.
