cant start vdrift dont know command

[kelar]

hi i installed vdrift with the deb file from getdeb cause couldnt get the auto package to work but it doesnt show in my gnome menu

[thelusiv]

Try

Code:

/usr/share/games/vdrift/bin/vdrift

Just so you know, we didn't build that package and don't really know if it was done right. I haven't tested it. It may work fine but if it doesn't, it's difficult for us to support it, not knowing how it was built. If you want to try out that version, we have a .package file that should work on your system. You could also try the newest version which has many improvements over the last, but you will have to compile it as no package has been made for that one.

tried it didn't work so i got the auto package which isnt working either
i think its because im using linux mint i tried the commands but they didnt work i recently crossed over from windows xp and im not to good at this yet

[kelar]

i think i see the problem the deb file doesnt create the folder bin it only creates the data folder

[thelusiv]

Try to see if that particular build installs the binary to /usr/bin or something along those lines. Try just entering the command

Code:

vdrift

and if that doesn't do anything, try

Code:

whereis vdrift

if you're still getting nothing, try

Code:

locate vdrift

I'm working on updating the Linux autopackage build setup so that we can get a new binary out, that will be updated and be easier to install than the last version. I'll also write some documentation detailing how to install it and what to do if you run into problems.

Vdrift is a graphics intensive game and like other 3D games requires a lot of system resources. While the eee is IMO a very neat machine it is not a gaming machine.

Maybe one of the developers won't be too offended, and will explain how to remove Vdrift from your sht.

It wont be necessary anymore
