MXS Linux Install

[Shanasman450]

I'm having one hell of a time installing on linux. Anyone have any knowledge of how to do this?

What distro are you running?

[Shanasman450]

My bad, I forgot to mention. Ubuntu 16.04

Video above should get you up and running.

It's up and running now with the exception of sound. I can play just fine, but I get no sound (yes, my sound is turned up, all the way matter of fact, and mute is off. Do you happen to know a fix for this issue off hand? I'll do a bit of digging on the forums. Not that that seems to do any good. I've searched every one of my issues thus far with no results, start my own thread and then get handed several links to threads pertaining to what I had tried searching for. It's like when you can't get something to work and the second you try to show someone it works. It's kind of comical in a way . Anyway, thanks for the help man. It's much appreciated.

Look at this post, maybe try to install the libasound library? (Or some more) http://forum.mxsimulator.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=8955&p=724351&hilit=Libraries#p724351

[Shanasman450]

After watching your video I went to that page and installed all the listed libraries. Unless it just didn't install right and I didn't notice, it's installed.

Tried apt update/upgrade/restart your computer?

[Shanasman450]

Yep.

There might be a clue in ~/.mxsimulator/lastlog.txt.

These are the only two instances I see where audio is mentioned.

Here's the entire file if that would help any.

Never mind then. The file I chose to send as an attachment didn't send with the post.

Attachments doesn't work anymore, just copy the whole file into the code tag like you did above.

Looks like it failed trying to open the default ALSA device. If you're running PulseAudio make sure you have the pulseaudio alsa plugin installed. It has to be the i686 version since the mx binary is 32 bit.
