For those of you running into alutinit errors upon starting the latest x-plane in dapper, try the following:

wget http://www.swanson.ukfsn.org/loki/loki_compat_libs-1.1.tar.bz2
tar xfvj loki_compat_libs-1.1.tar.bz2

cd /usr/games/X-Plane 8.04

LD_PRELOAD=/home/nickers/Loki_Compat/libopenal-0.0.so ./X-Plane-athlon-xp

Done. Come to find out, OpenAL as it comes in the dapper repos doesnt have debugging turned on by default. Using the older loki compat libraries skips this. The compat libs are also very handy for running the loki library from a few years back. Be known that this will soon not work with the latest glibc upgrades coming down the pipe. Enjoy this temporary fix!

God Bless,
Nick

Nick -

Thanks for the help! Looks like it might not work any more, I get an error after X-Plane starts to load up. I wonder, did you find another fix for this problem?

Thanks!

Hey, I'm trying to find OpenAl on the repos. What should I be looking for? I can't seem to find it. I can install it manually, but I wanted to see if I could use Adept.

libopenal0 is what you are looking for. It is universe though.

My bad, I just checked out the universe thing.

But I am still having problems (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=220127) if you are interested.

I got the openal installed and x-plane is loading up. Does anyone know how to get the sound to actually work though?
