games frozen bubble

[jstam1999]

i would like to be able to play the frozen bubble game on ubuntu but don't know how
to start. i don;t have it on my computer and am new at linux. if someone could tell me
how to find the game and how to install and run it, i would be grateful. i have a hp
pavilion ze 4530 notebook computer and everything seems to work on it.

on CLI(shell interface) 'sudo apt-get install frozen-bubble'
That is, if you've enabled warty universo in your apt sources.

i tried sudo apt-get install frozen-bubble, and i got a response that said "can't find
package frozen-bubble" i must be doing something wrong. i tried it from terminal
program and put my password when asked

make sure the lines deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty universe
are un-#'ed in your /etc/apt/sources.list
after that, do an apt-get update && apt-get install frozen-bubble

& to be able to edit that list you'll need to open an editor with root permissions so
/etc/apt/sources.list
sudo gedit

for example, you can navigate to the file from there.

i don't know whether to say thanks or not. i did edit the * out of the files and it still
didn't work, but it said to get apt update. which i did and then it downloaded okay.
now it plays great but i just wasted about half an hour playing it. hard to control that
habit.

you always have to update after changing the list or indeed downloading anything. When you update, apt-get, fetches an uptodate list of what's available. If you don't update your system will things were as they were the last time you ran apt-get.

Might also want to try lbreakout2 if you want great gaming

Thanks you!!!

Hi all...

May i know how to get the game frozen bubble working on linux? I'm trying to download the the '.rpm' files from the www.frozen-bubble.org website but don't know which files to use.

Can Not Find SDL.pm

Managed to install the frozen-bubble but when I tried to run the frozen-bubble I get this error:
Can't locate SDL.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i486-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i486-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/frozen-bubble line 51. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/frozen-bubble line 51.

Is this due to some missing files or package and what should I do to fix this problem?

fwiw, it seems from the main frozen bubble page they are going to release a multiplayer network version sometime. i hope this comes out within the year, it would be a great addition to the game.
