Wich kernel are you using? I don't know in opensuse, but in debian, you can install amd64 kernel even though your instalation is in 32 bits.

I mean, i have debian squeeze 32 bit instalation but instead of using linux-image-xxxxxx-bibmem in order to be able to use all my RAM I installed linux-image-xxxxx-amd64 wich is a kernel optimiced for 64 bits but compiled over 32 bit system.

So when I type uname -a my system is detected as 64 bit system but is not, so the game fails to install because it gets kind of crazy (i guess is because it's looking in wrong paths --> /usr/lib /usr/lib32 or /usr/lib64) .

The solution was to run the script with linux32 wrapper

linux32 sh amnesia_tdd_1.0.sh

If that works for you maybe devs should include this in FAQ

How did you manager to stop the md5 errors?

A workaround to the no frontend errors is to force a specific frontend.
sh ./amnesia_tdd_1.0.sh --help
for more help on how to do that.
you can also tell the installer to simply extract and not execute
sh ./amnesia_tdd_1.0.sh --target ExtractInThisDir --keep --noexec
and then go into the folder and manually kickstart it
cd ExtractInThisDir
./startupinstaller.sh

The only way I can stop the md5 errors is to make sure when I download the file, do not choose save file but choose open with and make sure I open with kwrite. As long as i do that i don't get md5 errors, but if I rename the file or move it to a different directory or something like that, the md5 error comes up again and I have to redownload the file.

With the ./ everytime I try any input with ./amnesia_tdd_1.0.sh or the like, it says permission denied, even if I run as super user. But if I use sudo it says command not found.

If I use that command I get the md5 error Sad why do i get that error everytime I do anything that changes the file in any way.

BTW what frontend am I supposed to specify? What is a frontend anyway?

And you are using the file that had the "correct md5" of 1371d13237143b845e42968cee46002a (which was your amnesia_tdd_1.0-1.sh)

that doesn't make any sense. if the file has that md5 then the installer should verify it everytime no matter how you run it. If the file with that VALID md5 keeps throwing errors when running odds are there is something going wrong with your system.. either a harddrive is corrupting things as it's reading or extracting, or bad RAM.

By front end I mean this.. the installer has a "text mode" and a "graphical" mode. you can launch these modes by specifying a -f commandline argument and specifying either

gtk - for the GTK frontend
fltk - for the FLTK front end (also graphical)
ncurses - for the text mode frontend

There is also an unattended mode which will run w/o a front end and just install.

My apologies for not replying earlier but my internet is playing up, it's downloading at about 1 kb/s and it is driving me up the wall, ill post back when I can get it under control.

I'm back sorry about all that. Their has to be something more to this, why in gods name am I getting these md5sum errors, it makes no sense whatsoever. I reformatted about a week ago and I just redownloaded about 10 mins ago, lone behold once again md5checksum, what is causing the md5 to magically change? Is their any way I can change it myself?

An MD5 is simply a checksum of the contents of the file. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum

Having the incorrect checksum means that your file is corrupted on disk. Now at one point you had a copy of the file with the correct MD5 (which I posted above). If you are having MD5 checksum issues loading that file, then it is most likely that A your harddrisk is failing, or B you have bad memory in your system. (probably the memory). I would suggest running memory diagnostics on your computer via the memtest86+ which you should be able to install in openSuse from the repositories. (it'll show up in your boot menu)

did you have these issues running the demo version of Amnesia?

Nope not a single problem with the demo, except the one with no sound but you helped me out with that one.

I have checked and rechecked my memory and HDD over and over again, before I started using linux when I was still using windows, everything started to go straight down the toilet. I brought a brand new pc, and upon installation of XP and 7 I would constantly get BSODS. I was on multiple forums desperately seeking help and the most common answer I got was run a disk check which always came up flawlessly the second most common answer I got was you have faulty memory. So I ran memtest86+ (I've still got it on a cd somewhere) multiple times and not a single error came up. Then someone told me I should run it for about 2 hours, so I ran it for 4 hours to be on the safe side. Not one single error came up, this computer is about 2-3 months old and I have had nothing but troubles with it. The only way I can actually use it is to not run windows so I chose linux. Which usually runs quite well but this md5 error is starting to get on my nerves.

I have reformatted again and decided to install Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat and I'm about to redownload Amnesia and cross my fingers that I don't get the md5 error. Is the installation method exactly the same for Ubuntu as OpenSuSE?
