I still have the problem that the default planet texture tiles (with the exception of the hi-res tiles at Cape Canaveral) not showing properly in my installation, rendering them black in color. I wonder if that have something to do with my laptop running a NVidia graphics card that can switch to and from the integrated graphics chip (and yes I have installed nouveau).... :facepalm:

Did you try if it's the same with nvidia-drivers (or whatever it's called in your Linux - the proprietary NVidia drivers)?

Well....before I can try it I found out that I need Bumblebee to get my video card working. Unfortunately I got it to install but can't get it to run. From here:

Code: 
$ optirun [options] <application> [application-parameters]

But I don't know how to fill in the application name since Orbiter wasn't installed from the software manager. Attempts to type in the file address for Orbiter_ng.exe all fails to find it. So.....what should I do? :idk:

Maybe from the Orbiter directory:
Code: 
$ optirun wine orbiter_ng.exe
I don't know what options are there to set, but application is wine and the application parameters should be orbiter_ng.exe.

It returns this:

Code:

wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\orbiter_ng.exe"

Looks like it doesn't use the current working directory. :hmm:

Instead of trying to run "wine orbiter_ng.exe", you can try running a script from this post instead with optirun, providing full path to the script. The script changes the working directory for Orbiter.

You can even modify that script to run graphics server directly without the orbiter_ng wrapper:
Code: 
#!/bin/bash

WINEARCH=win32
WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/path-to-prefix

cd ${WINEPREFIX}/path-to-orbiter
wine ./Modules/Server/orbiter.exe

Code: 
$ optirun <full_path_to_the_script>

Can someone try this method and see if your O2010 installation works? http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/threads/orbiter-space-flight-simulator-guide.452/

Unfortunately for me it run.............only that the old problem of no surface texture persists, plus that my frame rate literally drops to zero...... :facepalm:

My experience in the installation, now available

Well I want to tell the English-speaking users, which is now available my Orbiter installation guide on Linux in English. Remember that if you do be used at your own risk. I am not a computer expert, I just want to share my experience and hope that it will be useful to someone. Excuse my ignorance.

I want to thank the user Iron Rain, which has helped me in the translation of the guide, your help was very useful. Now awarded him the distinction of Champollion Seal Of Approval:cheers:.
xcm3igv229psn106g.jpg

Later I'll upload the two versions of the guide (Spanish and English) to my blog (De todo un poco - A bit of everything ) for Spanish speakers users of Orbiter Forum.

When I have time (and restore my programs again) I'll try Orbiter in Ubuntu 14.04. Turns out I installed Ubuntu 14.04 today and missed some programs that are not yet supported.

Thank you all for your comments:thumbup:.

Well I ditched Linux Mint 16 (for the time being, maybe I'll try again when v17 comes out) for the new Ubuntu 14.04, and guess what? The installation was flawless and Orbiter just runs fine with 100+ FPS for a default scenario with a stock DG docked at the (stock) ISS! :thumbup:

I can also state that the latest orbiter beta from SVN works correctly with the inline client under Arch linux (release not applicable, arch is a rolling distro), with no more bugs than it has on Windows.

Does anyone here know if the Orb::Connect::Web 3.19 add-on works within a Wine app (either Mac or Linux)? It sets up an http server on port 38888, and I don't know if Wine supports that.

Thanks!

Looks like it'll be worth downloading then! I'm using 14.04 (Trusty Tahr), but I don't think there are any major changes from 13.10 that would break compatibility.

As far as I remember, you only need WINE and winetricks, and then VC2005, VC2008, VC2010 runtime redistributable packages and DirectX installed with winetricks (VC2008 and VC2010 for add-ons), and that's all.

Is there some error message displayed?

I can't do a guide for Linux Mint because I don't use it, but I can tell what USE flags need to be set for WINE & winetricks installation in Gentoo, in a few hours.

A bit of a necropost, but some information for Linux Mint 16. I tried the above procedure, but no joy.

Orbiter.exe "runs" under wine, but only renders the startup script text, otherwise a black screen.

Orbiter_ng.exe does not run (DX9D3 is checked). It gives me an error pop-up about CkBlit, which I think is a texture (?). I *think* my problem is with my on-board graphics card (Intel Atom processors) - there are no Linux drivers for them.

So close, yet so far :(

Yeah, I can confirm that too. I wonder if Linux Mint changed the drivers or something in rendering.... :idk:

Soon I'll try Orbiter 2010 on Ubuntu 14.04 and quite possibly Orbiter-beta 2014.

Yesterday I tried Orbiter again on Ubuntu 14.04 and it works pretty well.

Always remember that Orbiter was not designed to run on Linux on Wine, so some features did not work (only a few features).
Yet I found that it worked now the "bright" effect in textures.

But when I can, I will do a more specific test and I will detail all the results.
With respect to the Orbiter beta, I'm looking for a SVN client for Ubuntu. Today I found one and I'll read how to use it.
Sorry that I have not tried before Orbiter in Ubuntu, but I had many personal problems that prevented me (many school work, mathematics, etc.).

Greetings:tiphat:.
