Solved: 8 Years, 1 Month ago Could not find a suitable frontend- Amnesia

Okay, so I am running on Linux, and heard Amnesia easier on it. But I have tried to install Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and I put this code -

soarin@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ ./amnesia_tdd_1.2.sh --frontend -f --target dir /home/soarin/Desktop/Amnesia.

I get this error ---


Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Installer for Amnesia - The Dark Descent.............
Uncompressing sub archive........................................................................................................................................................................................
Collecting info for this system...
Operating system: linux
CPU Arch: x86
Error: Couldn't find any suitable frontend for your system


I'm on a 32-bit Ubuntu, so I need help, any solving?Huh

why did you put --frontend -f ?

just simply run ./amnesia_tdd_1.2.sh

only if it has issues finding a front-end should you specify ONE of --frontend OR -f (they are aliases for the same argument). and hte valid frontends are gtk, fltk, and ncurs which you have to specify

./amnesia_tdd_1.2.sh --frontend fltk

--target is only needed if your /tmp doesn't have enough free diskspace to run the installer. (since this is the 1.2 installer it requires MORE diskspace than the 1.2.1 installer does, about 3GB)

I get the same error, but when I used the GTK one, it said linux x86_64...
I don't understand this error...

How much free disk space do you have on /tmp ? (df -h /tmp ).

Can you paste the exact command line you are running now along with the exact error that occurred.

./amnesia_tdd_1.2.sh --frontend fltk
./amnesia_tdd_1.2.sh --frontend gtk

And I have 1.2GB left in my TMP folder... I heard I need adleast 2. I cleared out my entire TMP folder and only 1.2 still...

So, that is why it's failing.. you don't have enough free space in /tmp instead try this

./amnesia_tdd_1.2.sh --target /some/new/folder/with/enough/disk/space

e.g. create a temp folder in home mkdir ~/AmnesiaTMP

./amnesia_tdd_1.2.sh --target ~/AmnesiaTMP

DO NOT use an existing folder for --target.

No where in my home folder has more than 1.2GB free, this is a newly installed operating system, and I formated my HDD for Linux and Amnesia only, I think I may need to add more GB to it.

Yes, you do.. unfortunately the installer currently requires an excessive amount of free diskspace.

1.1GB for compressed installer (you are already using this)
2.5GB for decompressed installer (in /tmp)
2.5GB for game installations

so that's 6.1GB !!!

Now, I'm checking with Jens, as the 1.2.1 installer *should* be available on the Frictional website, if so I would re-download that version as it only requires 1.1GB of disk space in /tmp.
