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.

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)
SPOILER

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

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

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

SPOILER

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

SPOILER

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.

SPOILER

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

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

SPOILER









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!"

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...

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.

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

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?

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.

I downloaded the following:
msxml6
gdiplus
gecko
vcrun2005
msvcr80
atmlib

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

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.

A small suggestion to anyone having troubles like choppy audio or similar.

Just try a fresh wine prefix.

It will work flawlessly in minutes.

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?

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"

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) )

This isn't a big problem that..

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.

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.

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?

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).

Well, I sometimes have this bug: I couldn't type a text in "search beatmap". However, opening and closing chat (F8) fixes that.

Well, about sound problem: that hangup that "emulation" cures does not occur on pure ALSA (without PulseAudio installed). I just cheked that, set acceleration to "Full" and launched osu -- everything works just like it should.

Ach! I need to remember to read before bumping next time!

Sorry for the trouble. (Coincidentally this was the workaround idea I had in mind but I was pretty sure nobody would give out pre-installed osu folders.)
