Installing the latest OpenTTD on Ubuntu fails for some reason

[gimel3830]

Hello, I'm quite new on Ubuntu and it doesn't seem like OpenTTD is correctly installing on my computer.
I've been using Windows for my whole life until a few days ago when I suddenly wanted a small change..

I'm quite sure that I've downloaded the right .deb file. However, when tried to install it with Ubuntu Software (Centre), it showed 'No Software Source Included', and installed OpenTTD 1.5.3 instead, which seems like the latest version on the Software Centre itself.

So I tried to install it from the Terminal but that didn't work neither.

Could someone help me get the latest OpenTTD successfully? Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install libicu52

Then try again.
You can't install latest OTTD on Ubuntu Software or apt.
Instead, you have to install from the deb package, but libraries won't installed automatically, so you have to install them by yourself.

Thanks. I'll try that later and see if that works.

If you didn't install aptitude, apt is also OK.

I am not linux expert but I used this method in Ubuntu 14.04.5

first: ls /home/(your user)
-----------------------------------
wget https://binaries.openttd.org/releases/1 ... -amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install gdebi
sudo gdebi openttd-1.7.1-linux-ubuntu-trusty-amd64.deb
wget https://binaries.openttd.org/extra/open ... .2-all.zip
sudo unzip opengfx-0.5.2-all.zip
tar -xvf opengfx-0.5.2.tar
mv opengfx-0.5.2 ~/.openttd/baseset



(Openttd services)
wget https://bitbucket.org/frodus/openttd-in ... -1.1.1.zip
unzip openttd-init-1.1.1.zip -d openttd-init
sudo ln -s ~/openttd-init/openttd /etc/init.d/openttd
sudo chmod 755 ~/openttd-init/openttd
sudo update-rc.d openttd defaults

(Finally rename ~/openttd-init/config.example to config and edit the variables to suitable values.)

(firewall)
sudo apt-get ufw
sudo apt-get install ufw
sudo ufw allow 3979
sudo ufw reload

(start and stop)
/etc/init.d/openttd start
/etc/init.d/openttd stop

I just updated the old tutorial for newer versions. Otherwise, I don't solve any problem
