Ryzom installation

Ubuntu

Easiest way is to use the ryzom ppa

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ryzom-isv/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update && apt-get install ryzom

After that, to launch ryzom you should have a ryzom launcher in your menu. If not, run the following command :

$ sh /opt/ryzom.sh

Generic installation

It works on all distribution, but you will have to solve dependencies by yourself. Also note this is a 32 bits executable you are running, careful ! Download and extract [1] archive. Then, go inside the directory of the game and launch : (it is a good thing to run it once a week)

$ sh update_ryzom.sh

After, to run the game you just have to run :

$ ./ryzom_client

Troubleshooting

Error while loading shared libraries

You are missing some dependencies for ryzom. If you are using the official client or the alternate static one, there is very few of them (the package name may vary on your distribution, these are the debian one) :

Install all theses packages and try to launch again your client.

No such file or directory

You are using a 32 bits executable on a 64 bits system and you don't have multiarch or 32 bits emulations activated. Easiest way is to use multiarch

Debian

# dpkg --add-architecture i386
# apt-get update && apt-get install libc6:i386

Try to run the client, you will probably miss some dependencies, install them ; if you want to install a package in a different architecture, type package:architecture instead of package. For example, if you miss libGL.so, type :

# apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386

The game launch, but instant-crash

The most common answer is probably that you are missing a good graphic driver. Check your distribution advices for your GPU. If you don't know what your GPU is, run :

$ lspci | grep "VGA"

An easy way to install the proprietary driver is to use the sgfxi script, it's very easy.

# cd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/sgfxi && chmod +x sgfxi

Then, as root in a tty (use Ctrl + Alt + F1 to switch, Ctrl + Alt + F7 to switch back to your desktop), run :

Warning Installing the driver will close your session, make sure you save all your data

# sgfxi

And follow the instructions.

Ryzom alternate client

Static client, should work on any distribution, any kernel : 32 bits version or 64 bits version
