There , it won't work as your VGA adapter  is showing a VirtualBox device. 

 

Why don't you install Ubuntu on a partition as that's much better. 

Have Ubuntu 12.04LTS and 13.10 VMs installed. Would prefer 13.10. Has anybody gotten 13.10 to work with XP10 on a 64-bit machine ?

Yep I have got it to work on my Desktop. Ubuntu 13.10 but due to the crappy as usual linux drivers from AMD I don't have performance.  You will need to get ia32libs and other libraries else it will not work.

 

You have to try with the Nvidia drivers else use the ones from Ubuntu. 

Hi Ironmaiden,

 

Why is it that this command works in 12.04 LTS but not in 13.10:

sudo ./XP10

 

Also, I can find ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 in Ubuntu Software Center in 12.04 LTS but not in 13.10.

 

Thanks

They don't have the repository for ia32 in 13.10 by default. I had to manually enter the URL for.  

 

Are you using 12.04 as a VM ? or a physical system

 

when you do sudo   it runs as root. , "./" means run from the current working directory, but it should be chmod a+x or chmod 755 

You miss the wildcard *

alike ./X-*

 

Also never use sudo unless you need it!

 

There's a thread over at x-plane.org about one command for the 32bit libs.

 

Also have a look at phoronix.com about AMD drivers. I think you need the very latest

for good perfomance. (I use Nvidia however)

 

Right click to change permissions is the easiest way or try man chmod in a term.

 

Have fun and google search is the friend of any Linux newbie.

was that for me ?

 

Actually I tried CCC 13.11 from AMD but now after logging in just see the mouse cursor , damn AMD has never made good drivers at least for linux.

 

Going to uninstall xorg , 

My final install will be using Nvidia. Testing on AMD though....seems like it is much more difficult using AMD hardware

 

Why should I use the wildcard?

 

I renamed the installer to XP10 and ran ./XP10 - that should work right ?

ah don't worry that's ok. AMD GPU is always horrible in linux I swear I am really frustrated with AMD.

OK. Went for final and installed Ubuntu 13.10 on a separate partition.

 

lspci gives me:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 660 Ti] (rev a1)
 

but

 

About this computer: under "Graphics" I have

Driver Gallium 0.4 on NVE4

 

Fully patched vanilla installation.

 

Under Software & Updates/ Additonal Drivers it says I am using Nouveau display driver from xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (open source)

 

I have these also available :

 

319 proprietary tested

319 updates proprietary

304 proprtietary

304 updates proprietary

 

If I were to select 319 proprietary tested is there a way to reverse it if it does not work ?

 

Here is what I get if I try to install the demo:

 

Setting draggable to: 0
WARNING: unable to set v-sync; glXSwapIntervalSGI returned the error 6.
X-System Error:
X-Plane does not support the Gallium driver stack.
First, try updating or re-installing your graphics drivers.
If this does not help, check your graphics card specifications.

You need to install the Nvidia driver.  Download the driver from Nvidia. Or you can use the latest one from the 13.10 branch.

If you're not an advanced user, use a PPA instead of downloading a driver from Nvidia.

I ended up doing this:

 

Full install with patches. Ubuntu x64 13.10.

sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0

sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 libglu1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa:i386 libxrandr2:i386

Select latest tested drivers from System Settings>Software&Updates>Additional Drivers (3.19)

reboot

sudo ./XP
 

Linux demo running OK with some error messages about files being read-only. I will also need to set rules for my rudder pedals. Noticed that my fans are much louder in Linux than in Windows....work in progress.

great you got it working. linux tends to use the hardware to the max 

OK...Would like to compare performance in W7 to Ubuntu.

 

Which files keeep my rendering options, key assignements etc ?

 

Want to copy them over to the Linux version...

 

Thanks
