Ubuntu 64-bit Gaming Guides

[Extol11]

It seems I forgot to add Punk Buster to my ETQW game, how can I activate it after I already installed the game?

Edit: Nevermind that. I did install it, it's just that you still have to turn it on on the checkbox in the upper left hand. But the sound is waaay off. I do things and the sound comes 20 seconds or so after I've done something. I'm on 10.04. Know if this is a known problem and there's a way to work around it?

Great guide! Already tried Astromenace and Arkanoid: Space ball and they work flawlessly. The first game that made me problem is Beyond The Red Line and as I'm big fan of the TV series and the movie I'll put some more effort to install it. The error is:

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Beyond the Red Line Demo.................................................................................................................
/home/to6o/.setup15262: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In synaptic there's no package libgtk-1.2, suppose there's newer version that I should make symlink to, as I'm with 64 bit Lucid Lynx.
The command "sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2" from the guide returns:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package libgtk1.2
I'll appreciate any help and I guess it will be useful to update the guide for Lucid.

Hi, I tried to install x³-Reunion wo Times:
First via the Autorun-Installer, what copied all into my home-folder, but this programs can start(maybe because no root-rights?).
Second with

sudo sh linux32 /media/X3_Linux/setup.sh

, because in the german Ubuntuusers-Wiki it was written so. Now I can start Reunion, but I get this Error:

Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load module "libcanberra-gtk-module.so": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
x3 2.5-sse2, built for i386
Segmentation Fault: Yes, of course I bought enough shields to defend the shi...

Should I do it like it´s written here or something else?

Edit: I tried it without linux32, same result. I hope the Suport of LGP can help me.
