Talk:Client on Linux Manual

Here are my notes if anyone is interested. Currently not working.

________________________

So, install SA via WINE (1.4 is being used for this tutorial, legacy ATI drivers, Linux Mint 13 (Ubuntu 12.04))

Download the following fonts and put them in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder of your wine "bottle": tahoma, tahomabd, and verdana. Or, download this: http://depositfiles.com/files/2o1s1mfp6 which has all three in one zip.

Install MTA. Don't run it.

Most instructions tell you to disable vertex and pixel shading. This has to be done via registry. (no instructions yet). Not sure if this is even needed as San Andreas runs fine without this setting.

Run MTA. While it's running, enter this command at the command line:

echo 0|sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope (Reference: http://forum.mtasa.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&p=432279). It should return a simple 0, nothing more.

Starting MTA: OK

Getting Server List: OK

Joining Game: Once connected, entire system locks up except for the mouse. If this happens, hold down ALT+SYSRQ and press the following keys one at a time: R,E,I,S,U,B)

Thought it was an audio issue. Running padsp before execution didn't change anything.

Note: San Andreas works fine.
