Hey,

I have installed BloodCats .deb and it works mostly perfect, but there are 2 bugs that really annoy me.
Above osu! there are many weird bars and I think it seems that they move to the beat (or I'm just hallucinating) and unfortunately they get too much attention from me. :/
Also, sometimes osu! just crashes when I win a beatmap so I can't see how I played (the ranking thingy). What really bugs me is that I have to restart my computer because nothing works anymore. After I restarted my PC (and osu! of course) the game hasn't even recorded my play. This doesn't happen every time I play osu! but I never do know when it happens - sometimes after my first beatmap, sometimes after hours of playing.

Sorry if my English is bad - it's not my native language at all.

Hi guys recently I decided to use Ubuntu due to a keylogger being installed by a family member. Because of that I cannot use normal methods to use my computer. I use Ubuntu to watch anime, (try to) play osu!, and other stuff I intend to hide from my family.

I was wondering if there is a way to not make osu! lag? I understand it's a stupid question. I've only been using ubuntu for 2 weeks so not very experienced with it, just getting the hang of using terminal and other stuff in Ubuntu.

I am aware that other people are experiencing issues trying to activate OpenGL rendering. I was wondering if there is a possibility to dedicate RAM and Video Ram to osu like using Task Manager then opening up Resource Montior (in Windows). I was also wondering if my osu! song database may be the cause of the lag.

I have provided the relevant details that may be needed.

I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Live USB(Fat32) with persistance (ext4 partition) of 7GB. The USB port and the USB itself I use is USB 2.0

My specs are:
Intel i3 Dual Core 2.3 Ghz processor (can boost upto 2.9 Ghz)
Intel Graphics 3000 HD (Integrated GPU)
6 GB RAM

My osu! song database exceeds 40 GB of space.

If there is further information I may be needed to provide to get a possible answer please inform me.

Many Thanks,
GSU
@Khaleel78:

That is a big song folder, but I doubt that would effect general performance. I run osu with a 1.83 dual core CPU, GM965 integrated Intel GPU and 3 GB of RAM... so there's got to be a way to fix that. First of all, are you using compositing? (aka desktop effects?)
Turn off compositing and see if that helps. Also, open a terminal and run winetricks with the commands previous posts mention:

I could never get opengl to activate properly on Wine, but that's not needed because intel (thankfully) provides good drivers for linux, so DX mode is quite effective actually.

winetricks gdiplus ddr=opengl dsoundhw=Full fontsmooth=rgb glsl=disabled multisampling=disabled
rtlm=disabled strictdrawordering=disabled orm=fbo

Oh wait a second... You're running Ubuntu on a Live USB environment? That might have something to do with it... Is the system performance good enough for wine running osu?

Just installed osu! on my desktop with the following specs:

Radeon HD 7850 (2GB) + Catalyst 12.11 Beta 11 Drivers
Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit (latest updates)
- Using Gnome Classic (No Effects)
- Latest Wine (1.5)

Here's what I noticed:

- Plays without hitches (haven't had any issues with about 10 minutes of gameplay anyway), Consistent 120 FPS (at 120 FPS cap :p)
- Cannot switch to OpenGL (I don't get an error or anything though; I choose OGL in options, restart osu!, and it's always on D3D still; is there another way to switch?)
- Resolutions don't seem to switch nicely under Fullscreen (trying to go to 1024x768 with my native res at 1600x900 will basically result in osu! being 1600x900, but with the 1024x768 top-corner being shown on my screen; solution is to switch Desktop resolution to 1024x768 prior to starting osu!)

And here's how I installed it:

- Installed normal Wine 1.5
- winetricks installed gdiplus, and .NET 3.0 (also included 2.0)
- Ran osu! installer
- Let installer fail
- Went to osu!'s directory and got osume.exe
- Closed installer
- Re-created osu! folder in Program Files
- Dropped osume.exe in osu! folder
- Ran osume.exe
- Let it download everything
- Ran it

The thing to take note of is, if you can get a hold of osume.exe, it'll allow you to cleanly install osu! :) Alternatives is to also backup and recopy the osu! folder before closing the failed installer, or to copy over the osu! folder from another install.

But just to restate the issues I'm having:

- Can't switch to OpenGL
- Non-desktop resolution in fullscreened osu! doesn't work welll

Have you tried running osu! fullscreen in a separate X session? That might help with your resolution issues.

xinit /full/path/of/osu/command -- :1

Really nice guide! First time I have been able to play Osu on Ubuntu without any loss in performance!

Unfortunately I have found a problem that I wonder if you or anyone can help me fix. When I change my mouse sensivity from 1,0x to 1,5x the mouse starts to lag really bad, choppy moments. I am pretty new to Linux so if anybody knows a fix, please explain it to me like I am a potato.

Ah, haven't tried that, but it appears someone else reported a similar issue only happening after they updated to Ubuntu 12.10, so maybe it's some issue only related to that distro.

Hmm, can't say I tried changing the sensitivity in-game (I use a tablet), I might suggest trying to adjust the sensitivity on the OS itself, and keep osu!'s to 1.0

Is anyone else getting an issue where osu! will freeze for a second or two about 2 minutes into a song, but only when using the flashlight mod?

I'm back on arch now, I installed it from the AUR - using pacaur, and I can't find it, once it's installed. Nothing in DMenu, nothing from the terminal. If someone could hit me back, that'd be great.

I think that package only makes a desktop shortcut instead of putting something in your $PATH. You should either run "/opt/osu/osulauncher" directly, or copy it to your $PATH.

Either run "/opt/osu/osulauncher install" first or remove your "~/.osu" directory and try again.
SatoXYN
That's strange, I've included .desktop files to run osu windowed or fullscreen. Maybe I screwed something but it works for me in KDE.
m42a
I'm fairly sure DroidApkk doesn't have a desktop in the first place, so those would be of no use to them.
SatoXYN
Just tested on a neighbor's laptop with arch. The installation is not so simple as winetricks opens browser window for dotnet20 and you should download file and put it in winetricks cache folder. I think I'll make script to download all the needed files into winetricks cache.

Ok. I applied your script in new version.
But I couldn't test it, cause I've left ubuntu since Sep. 2012..
So, I made two test versions of new script.
Someone please get a test and say which version is nice to you.


Back soon. after I test the new version.

Hello guys, I tried to install on my Ubuntu, I succeeded, but it was quite laggy. So I updated wine, got new drivers for my ati graphics card and when I tried running osu, it just says Opening osu!.exe... in the panel which after a while disappears and nothing happens. I tried running osume.exe but when i click Start osu! it just disappears and nothing happens. When I type in
wine osu\!.exe
here is what it says:

Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu, and are you running osu! in 32-bit wine or 64-bit wine? If I had to guess, you probably either have badly configured drivers or 32/64-bit issues. Does running "fglrxinfo" give the same bad request, or does it work fine?
muahmuhmih
running "fglrxinfo" gives
X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)

I'm running 32 bit ubuntu and I reinstalled wine, made sure it 32 bit.
m42a
If fglrxinfo is failing too, it means there's something wrong with your video drivers. I don't know how you installed the drivers, but try reinstalling them following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI and if that doesn't work you'll have better luck asking in an Ubuntu-centric place: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

I have Linux Mint 14 and I followed the steps on first page, installed wine, winetricks and then when I tried to install .net framework 2.0, it said "This product is not supported on x64 operating systems". Then I went and tried to install .net framework 2.0 x64, same message appeared. I don't get it.
m42a
You need to use a 32-bit wine prefix. You can either type "WINEARCH=win32" before all of your wine and winetricks commands or use a pre-packaged install like http://bloodcat.com/_data/static/osu-1.0-5_all.deb

I let it install. I run "osu.install.exe", it seems that it installed it in "Program Files (x86). So, I go in there, into osu folder, and all the files are there (dll's, xna framework etc.). When I try to run either "osu.exe" or "osume.exe", it doesn't seem to respond.

just type "osu" in terminal. that will run osu!.
and you'd better use 1.0-6 version.
Meikyuuiri Tsumi
When simply typing "osu" in terminal, a message that I need to install Mono for windows was shown. So I went and installed Mono. But that didn't seem to work. First, I ran the update for linux. After that, I installed a new wine version (1.5) because I had the 1.4 version and osu package doesn't seem to install if you don't have >= 1.5wine. I let the package install, and it works now.

Thank you both.

I could install it with the .deb and also could import my beatmaps, but the sound is horrible, it's 100% unbearable. I'm using Kubuntu 12.04, so I think that most likely the different audio parts causes the fail in the audio, but I don't know how to repair it. Does anyone know a solution for it???
m42a
What about the audio specifically is horrible? Is it laggy, is it grainy, does it skip, etc?

It's grainy and it's cracking like hell. It sounds like the interfaces doesn't match or something like that.
m42a
This smells like a pulseaudio problem. Try running task manager and killing pulseaudio before running osu! Also, if you've setup any customized audio interfaces disable them see if it works (if you're unsure about this, you didn't set up any).

Hey guys, it's me again.
I'm running Ubuntu x64 on a Dell Vostro 3550 laptop with specs like this: intel core i5 2410M, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, AMD Mobility Radeon HD 6630M + Integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics cards.
I managed to install osu! by the .deb file provided by BloodyCat.
My problem is that whenever I try to open osu! the graphics messes all up that I can't even see anything clearly, I don't even know how to describe it clearly either.
I took a screenshot but I do not know how to upload it on here for you to see what it's like.
Is there anyone who has experienced this problem before? Or is there anyone who has similar graphics cards like me and has solved the problem? If yes please show me how to fix this.
Also I want to ask how to upload images on here so that everyone could see my problem.
Sorry if my English is bad. I'm not a native speaker
m42a
You can upload images to a third-party host like http://puu.sh or http://imgur.com and link to them.

Also, are you running osu on the Intel or AMD card, and what drivers do you have?

Here it is the image I uploaded to imgur:


I really have no idea whether osu is running on the Intel card or the AMD card. I don't know how to check this so I really can't tell. My graphics driver is AMD Radeon 6600M and 6700M Series. I checked and didn't find any drivers for the Intel card anywhere here. So I think normally apps should run on the AMD card.
m42a
Running "grep LoadModule /var/log/Xorg.0.log" will tell you what drivers you've loaded and (if you haven't loaded both sets of drivers) will tell you what card you're using.

I did and this is what terminal says:

Does it mean I have loaded both sets of drivers?
m42a
That's very odd. It means it tried to load both sets of drivers, although it's possible only 1 set worked. Could you upload the "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to somewhere like http://pastebin.com so I can see the whole thing? Also post the output of "glxgears -info | grep -v EXT" if you can. Also also, you did install version 1.0-6 of the deb, right?

Yes I installed the 1.0-6 version of the deb.
This is the Xorg.0.log file: http://pastebin.com/qsmJfFXt
There is also the Xorg.1.log file here, I uploaded it too: http://pastebin.com/MgcGvX61

And here's the output of glxgears -info | grep -v EXT:

Well, you're definitely using the AMD drivers then. You could try switching to the d3d renderer instead of the OpenGL one. Go into the file "/opt/osu/osu!.AutumnalRiver.cfg". There will be a line that says "Renderer = opengl"; change it to "Renderer = d3d".
AutumnalRiver
The line says "Renderer = d3d" actually..
I once tried to switch to opengl but it seems opengl does not work, it automatically switched back to d3d
AutumnalRiver
Can someone please help me? I've been stuck with this graphics thing for days
I wanna play osu so bad,,
mmstick
I wish we could just get actual support for Linux instead of having to worry about workarounds and fatal performance issues. It's just not worth the hassle of installing Osu! on Linux without an official Linux binary. It's sad that everyone still needs a partition of shame (Microsoft Windows) to infect their partition tables for any sort of gaming.

LOL, really looks ugly :P

Indeed you are using the Radeon graphics, what you could do is use the Intel graphics. I use only Intel (laptop), and only nVidia (Desktop), so I'm not sure how you would do, but research found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930450

For now, that's the best you can do. Too bad there is not even native linux port, but in the future "not too far" will be done. coffcoff!

So after a bunch of mind-duckery I have finally managed to launch osu! in wine, but the problem I get is the game is incredibly laggy. It seems to happen whenever there is a new element to be rendered, so switching between songs, menus and other things are incredibly slow. FPS when everything is up is fine though.

And yes, the game is not playable due to this at all, I've ran many other games in the past and I know stuff like WoW has been working, so it's definitely not related to performance.

Any thoughts?

That's because for some months (for some unknown reason) osu in wine is not able to run with OpenGL. Only DirectX renderer.
Games such as WoW, OpenGL may be used, so there is no wrapper with DirectX graphics, so work as in winbug.

Pls, try the BloodCat package (for debianLike distro): http://blog.bloodcat.com/207
Install 1.0.5 version, and then install 1.0.6.

Got osu! running again for the most part on Ubuntu 13.04 (yesterday's daily build).

  1. First, you'll need a 32-bit Wine prefix
    WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
  2. At the bare minimum, you need dotnet20 to even start the installer or game, but gdiplus also helps fonts look nicer (but not required; may want to skip gdiplus for now if your internet connection is slow)
    winetricks dotnet20 gdiplus
    (it does not appear you can use Mono as a replacement to dotnet20)
  3. Next, you want to download and start osu!'s installer
    wget 'http://osu.r-a-d.io/osu!install.exe'
    wine osu!installer.exe
  4. On the installer, you want to press Next, Next, and then you want to stop (the installer should throw an error or something, don't click Don't Send)
  5. Go to your Wine's Program Files folder
    /home/USERNAME/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files
    (replace USERNAME with your username)
  6. Take the osu! folder and drag it to your Desktop or somewhere safe
  7. Now go back to osu!'s installer and hit Don't Send, Close, and then Finish
  8. Now put the osu! folder you put somewhere safe, back in Wine's Program Files folder
  9. Go into the osu! folder (either GUI or Terminal) and run osume.exe
    wine osume.exe
  10. Quickly uncheck the Automatically start osu! after updating box (you might not have to do this anymore; might be unchecked by default)
  11. Wait for it to get done, then hit the start osu! button
  12. From here, I've had very inconsistent results. Sometimes osu! would just crash on first startup, other times it would start fine the first time. If it doesn't start successfully the first time, go back and try it again.
  13. osu! should now be opened, in a borderless fullscreen mode. You should be prompted to login, but the login box is behind osu!. If this happens, you want to just press esc to skip the login.
  14. Now go into Options, and set a Windowed resolution. Your screen may then just lock up, but osu! should still be active. You want to press Esc, Esc, 1 in that order (back out of Options to Main Menu, then Exit Game confirm).
  15. Re-open osu!, it should be windowed, and you should be able to login just fine now.
  16. From here, osu! is pretty playable for me in this state, aside from two problems (and a third that rarely happens). The problems are:

    1. Combo Fire renders weird (wrong colors, faded, etc.)
    2. Usernames on the in-game scoreboard (while you're actually playing a song) show as corrupted, along with the song title when it first appears
    3. Combo popouts (pipi) appear garbled (this is the rare one)
  17. I've been messing with osu! for a few hours, and have no idea how to consistently fix all three issues, but I managed to randomly fix the last two issues (not combo fire). It involves basically re-doing osu's settings until it "just" works (deleting your user cfg, re-opening osu!, and doing the resolution stuff). Hoping it just doesn't break again later though.

    OpenGL mode still doesn't appear to work either.

    I also have a Radeon HD 7850 GPU and I'm using AMD's 13.3 Beta 3 drivers.
Some random additional notes:
- The messed up scoreboard seems to have to do with the score filter thing (Global, Global with Mods, Friends, Local). Local seems to work the best.
- Xubuntu (13.04) 4/7/13 daily had slightly worse results with osu!. Screen would have some random glitch every minute or so, and there was some slight hitching (disabling Fast TLS might of fixed the hitching though)
- CTB person is an entire corrupted block; I'm thinking some skin elements just might have issues loading? (related to the corrupted combo popout thing)

Sounds like the Wine prefix was created for x64, instead of x86 (32-bit). I have no idea how the deb handles it, but you'll want to use WINEARCH=win32

So does anyone happen to have any issue with in-game (actually playing a beatmap) fonts for the song title and scoreboard? corefonts nor fixfonts via winetricks helps, and I'm lost as to what would cause it even. Happens on both 1.4.1 and 1.5.27 (latest) Wine also.

I also became a Super maintainer on the Wine AppDB page for osu! and fixed it up a bit (added links, changed description, added install notes, and recent Wine/Ubuntu testing). Instead of individual version numbers, I just made a version for both Public and Test builds of osu! (should cut down on "clutter" a good bit).

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=9581

Edit: According to a friend with Intel and NVIDIA hardware, his scoreboard looks fine, along with Combo Fire. If that's true, then it looks like it might be a fglrx (AMD/ATI) specific issue :/ Need more feedback though.
mmstick
You mustn't forget that a lot of issues with fglrx is because AMD codes the drivers properly to spec, and buggy code doesn't play well with spec. NVIDIA drivers are programmed buggy to compensate for buggy code.

Overall, this is still a pretty worthless attempt. It's better to just sit and wait until official Linux binaries are created.

how about an official linux port with steam migration? :3 would be nice

The problem with that is peppy sees no value in porting to Linux and insists that Wine is the solution even though Wine will never be the solution. He should really ditch the whole .NET thing as well and replace it with the universally loved Qt framework which is a lot easier to code and is portable to every OS.

While that may be the best choice, I don't believe it's just as simple as "ditching .NET".

If anything, should use Mono, but once again it's not a simple .NET-to-Mono thing.
mmstick
It's not as hard as you think. This isn't a very complex program anyway. I'm assuming most of the .NET code is the GUI updater which wouldn't take long to make a C++/Qt GUI replacement. I can't think of any sane person on Linux that would want Mono on their system.

Other than that, Osu! is already capable of OpenGL, so there is practically little need to add code, just delete the DirectX stuff. All it needs is to just be refurbished a bit to run cleanly in a Linux environment, and if it is using any Windows-specific libraries, replace them with open source Linux libraries (which I doubt is necessary).

Not only do users on Linux need Osu!, but Linux needs Osu!

Completely wrong - peppy would love to port to Linux and Mac. The problem is that it's so ingrained in XNA and .NET that it's a herculean task to port it over, and it'll probably take a couple of years if not more to make native ports a reality. Wine is the solution for the foreseeable future because of this.

Completely wrong - .NET code will run using Mono, and MonoGame implements the XNA framework. Both of those work on Linux.

That is most definitely wrong on every possible level, especially to say a port 'takes a couple of years'. XNA is hardly a problem, just ditch the XNA code and rewrite it with open standards for all platforms. That's the biggest improvement that could possibly be made for Osu! from here on out. Once again, it's not that hard at all. There used to be a single man who would solo port entire commercial games to Linux by himself, and he didn't need 'a couple of years' to do it.

I'm sure peppy could port it all over in just a few months (less?) if he dropped everything and worked on nothing but porting it. Keep in mind that he's regularly updating and maintaining the game though, and since wine works so well it's not huge on his to-do list.

What? Wine doesn't work so well at all, it's completely broken. I guess a ton of people getting black screens, openGL doesn't work, there's a crap ton of input lag, low framerates even with high end machines like my 4Ghz FX-8120 and Radeon HD 7950, seizure inducing flicker garbage, and corrupted textures is your definition of 'works well'.
Allyoutoo
Not mentioning the problems with multiplayer, like pressing "Donwload map" causes osu to freeze on top and force you to kill it before you can see the browser opened on the background. Its near impossible to try play anything even slightly fast since if you move mouse enough fast you get lag in movement making the cursor jump, playing with any effects (even the background video sometimes) can cause major frame drops depending on map even freeze the game for a while.. It looks like its playable and works well on some slow Easy maps with no video or heavy storyboard, but it really isn't working well enough for anything else.

Osu on wine can't be in anyway considered as the official Linux support and it never should.
computerex
There are so many threads about linux, because people want to play Osu! in it! It was never difficult to get the game running in linux, it is difficult to get it to run well. I had it running okay and now I am getting an unhandled exception in .NET. I really wish Osu was available in my primary OS. I hate having to boot in Windows just so that I can play Osu, especially when my other games such as League of Legends/Portal 2/Skyrim run fine with Wine..

I get that Osu is free software. But I'd definitely pay for the game if it means that it will be available in linux.

Edit:

The unhandled exception was due to me having dual monitors. Apparently launching the game on anything but the primary monitor causes it to crash (with Wine).

It's also a good idea to make your wine prefix use ALSA.

winetricks sound=alsa

Also to run wine games with pasuspender

pasuspender wine <game>

I personally made a script in /usr/bin named osu that does this + kills composition. It runs okayish but sometimes there's reliably random input lag and choppiness in some beatmaps.
Allyoutoo
I can confirm that the game runs smoother and with lot less flickering on Crossover on ubuntu 13.04, but has still lower fps then windows and some graphics are distorted.

Hmm; if you get complaints about the architecture not being compatible or anything along those lines, you're likely not using a 32-bit prefix. If you're using a x86_64 Linux distro, and Wine 1.5, it defaults to a 64-bit prefix.

One pretty easy way to actually check though; look in your .wine (or wherever the prefix is) folder and check for a Program Files (x86) folder. If it exists, it's a 64-bit prefix, and won't work.

Hmm, not entirely sure what's up. Do you have any other applications installed to the prefix? Could always just start fresh, either in the default .wine prefix or a new one just for osu!.

You just need the 32-bit prefix, and from there, you can install dotnet20 (you don't absolutely need gdiplus, and it seems the download size for it increased significantly).

I can't think of any reason in particular why it would fail on a clean prefix, but I can see how it would fail if there's other things installed in the prefix; especially if something else messed with .NET at all, or if Mono was messed with in Wine.

Essentially, just delete the .wine folder from your home folder, either via GUI (Ctrl + H on Ubuntu) or command (rm -rf .wine from /home/username directory).

From there, just re-create the prefix in 32-bit mode from Terminal (can use WINEARCH=win32 winecfg command and then close the cfg window), install dotnet20 from winetricks, and then proceed to the fun of installing osu! (start the installer, copy the folder somewhere, close installer, put folder back, run osume, win)

I have a guide here for it: p/2227460

It'll become second nature after doing it a lot 8-)

Hmm, so https://osu.ppy.sh/p/download mentions you now need .NET Framework 3.5. Doing winetricks dotnet35 however installs 2.0, 2.0SP1, 3.0, and 3.0SP1 .NET Frameworks. And even after doing this, the installer still complains of the need of .NET 3.5. In other words, the new installer doesn't work at all it seems (using wine1.6 from Ubuntu's repositories).

My recommendations are to either use the old installer (perhaps someone could mirror it?), or just grab osume.exe and run that to grab the files. If you use osume, grab it from here, make the osu! folder in Program Files, run osume, let it update, then proceed as normal (my full instructions a page or two back still work; still required to use 32-bit wine prefix)

Both osume.exe and osu!.exe run just fine with just dotnet20 still, so I wonder about the 3.5 reliance. Can still use gdiplus if you want the fonts to look nicer, but note you need to download about 1GB or so now when using winetricks (wtf?).

Same old Combo Fire and scoreboard name glitch still exists it seems on my hardware (Lubuntu 13.04 + fglrx (13.8 beta)).

As long as you have drivers, wine, and a clean win32 prefix with only dotnet20 on it, I don't really see why it wouldn't work. Is there any way you could update your OS though? Perhaps Wine is too old in 10.04's repositories.

12.04.2 is the current LTS version.

The latest version of Wine currently is 1.6 (stable) and 1.7 (development). Prior to that, Wine 1.4 was the stable version for I believe two years. Wine 1.2.2 seems "really" old in-comparison.

If osume runs, then dotnet20 seems to be ok, but I'm thinking it's graphics driver-related. What graphics hardware do you have, and are you using FOSS drivers or proprietary?

I would of course also recommend updating the OS itself to at least LTS 12.04.2 (there's non LTS 13.04 and also 13.10 daily images too); almost certain 10.04 isn't supported at all anymore for the most part.

Edit: As for how to get the output; open a Terminal window, type "wine " and drag osu!'s exe to the window. Everything that occurs should be outputted to that window. From there, just select all that text, and put it here.

Hello all,

I just saw this thread and I can't help much but osu! runs perfect for me on Arch Linux (I know this is an Ubuntu thread but I can't find somewhere else this would fit) without any lag or crashing or anything - using wine-1.7.0 on kernel 3.10.3-1-ARCH. If you build the latest wine from source (or the release candidate) for Ubuntu it might just work, who knows.

My graphics card is some ancient thing.

bahamete@arch ~> lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] R580 [Radeon X1900 XT]

If I can assist in some way (winecfg or something else) please PM me though I don't know what makes my build able to work.
I know that many in this thread have said they have gotten it working for them but with issues, yet for me it runs the same as on Windows. Hmm. I hope an official port to Linux will occur at some point.

I'm on a i5 with Intel graphics running Ubuntu 13.04. Osu works pretty well using the Bloodcat package. But I've had one very specific, consistent problem, and I'm curious if other people were experiencing it.

If I select a Taiko map, then attempt to return to the menu by hitting Escape, Osu invariably hangs (I was only able to terminate it with a SIGKILL). However, if I select a regular map and then do the same thing (hit Escape, select Return to Menu) then nothing bad happens. I haven't tested playing through a Taiko map and seeing if the score menu still works.

Kind of a shame, since everything else works super smoothly. Are other people getting this problem too?

No FPS drops, and the graphic glitches I reported before are gone. This is in DirectX mode. OpenGL mode still appears unselectable currently (via in-game or .cfg modifying).
