Updater in Ubuntu

zacarias · #1 03-17-2009, 12:25 PM

This may have been asked and answered before but please bare with me on this. Has anybody had any luck using the updater in Linux? It runs for me, but doesn't seem to allow me to set my eq2 directory so I cant update. I'm an a maintainer for EQ2 in the wine appdb, if there is a way to get this to work I would like to pass it along there as well.

I have never tried this in WINE but I had tried the old (non webstart) version in native Linux and it worked without issues.

Well the webstart version doesn't get handled by wine because Java is cross platform, but wine is an idea I could try in addition to the older version. Thanks for the ideas!

Where can I get a copy of the old updater?

The old version is not supported anymore and would not work. I'm sure Kaldran who wrote the updater will see this thread though and maybe he has an idea if you can provide more information as to what exactly happens when you try to set the path.

I don't see why it should not work. Make sure you use Sun Java. Easiest way to get it is to use aptitude to install 'sun-java6-plugin' from the multiverse repository.

I just tried this on a fresh Ubuntu 8.10 with Sun Java 6 and the issue I ran into is that the EQ2 path selection dialog is empty except for a single / entry. Not sure if this is the issue the OP is facing though.
