Why compile, when you can get the latest from the ubuntu daily-builds copy and paste the following into a terminal sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/minetestdevs/daily-builds/ubuntu precise main" (if you go to upgrade to 12.10, 13.04 or 13.10 replace precise with either quantal f...

Are you compiling the correct version i.e 32bit (i386) or 64 bit (X86_64)?

also i found this topic on stack overflow that may help

Basically Notch did not invent the voxel building genre, he simply brought it into public focus with Minecraft, the genre was actually started with the 3D Construction Kit way back in 1991 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_Construction_Kit ~18yrs before MC was even a thought. Every game made both in t...

Mind blown!

Which Debian repositories are you using?

VanessaE, would it not be best to include a link to the launchpad Daily Builds PPA for Ubuntu users which does both i386 and AMD64 builds?

I can understand the programs like avast! Antivirus want to "protect" their users. But if some guy uploads malware to ompldr.org, one company should not block the whole fu**ing domain. As an Alternative, I agree with Josh, downloading from Dropbox requires nothing = You can use wget or curl and Dro...

I used the debian package and it installed but does not seem to run at all. (File ended up in usr/local/bin. Is that what it's supposed to do?) I click it and absolutely nothing happens. No Minetest in the list of processes in the system monitor. Nothing. Also I cannot seem to uninstall it now. It ...

Why create a 2nd Linux repo when the PPA is still being used? The PPA only makes 32-bit builds. No the PPA is still currently making 64bit packages for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise, 12.10 Quantal and 13.04 Raring and is the same PPA that i'm using, in fact i'm suprised that 32 bit versions are still being ...

Why create a 2nd Linux repo when the PPA is still being used?

That would be cool, maybe there could be traps in them, like floors that break when you step on them, or something. Or just TNT. I think it would be really cool to have dungeons generated with TNT, fake floors, traps, and hostile NPCs. It would be neat if the traps with TNT, lava, and/or water were...

Ubuntu Studio 12:10 Quantal x86_64 with xfce 4.12 desktop.. Won't be upgrading to raring due to legacy hardwae 13.04 didn't drop any hardware support as far as I know, though it can be a PITA to upgrade if you have an old AMD graphics card and you're using Catalyst. I have a ATI Radeon HD4250 which...

That's the same problem i've been getting everytime i shutdown the game. *** glibc detected *** minetest: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0000000004319a00 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x7eb96)[0x7fcff8293b96] minetest(_ZN13EmergeManagerD1Ev+0x130)[0x5fdf10] ...

UPDATE: This *** glibc detected *** minetest: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0000000004319a00 *** crash is occuring on both minetest_build and minetest_game and is triggered by selecting either "exit to menu" or "exit to OS" this problem has only appeared in minetest 0.4.6, older versions did ...

Christ, that was quick

Does this crash occur on any other game mode?
i was on the "Build" game mode and was wondering if it happened on others as well, so that i'm not left twiddling my thumbs waiting for the bug fix

After playing Minetest for a bit i tried to exit to the main menu and the game froze the "shutting down stuff" screen then it crashed looking at xsession-errors there is the following crash message *** glibc detected *** minetest: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x000000000258b5e0 *** ======= Bac...

I'm not quite sure what you mean, are you asking for wind? Weather in general would be cool, but I can't see a whole lot of use for wind specifically, unless stuff like sails or windmills were also implemented. What about wind turbines for energy production, wind mills (with grinding) for making in...

when i first found about mese i immediatly thought it was something to do with black Mesa from Halflife, in fact i kept calling it mesa for that reason

+1000

i definitly agree

Please bring back the Ubuntu Daily builds, it's been 10 days since the last build why the sudden stop? i'm not comfortable going through the source build route, because it means installing a load of unnecessary packages along with dependants of those packages, then download the game source, extract...

No,it doesn't. I need to test blockforge more on the 0.4.5.I'm going to do this. EDIT:I didn't get this error.Please press f5 and screen coordinates,i think it's just a world bug that spawns you under the terrain. You were right it was spawning me underground, it's now finally working, thank you. I...

Does having mods in the user mod folder conflict with blockforge i.e /home/username/.minetest/mods/minetest ? No,it doesn't. I need to test blockforge more on the 0.4.5.I'm going to do this.

Every version > of 0.4.4 or 0.4.5 gives this error. Now repository might be correct. Well i tried as you suggested and added default to the depends.txt but now the game is giving me 13:01:42: ERROR[main]: mod "lulzpack" has unsatisfied dependencies: "default" Are you sure you have the default mod i...

If you're using a dev version of minetest or a version > 0.4.5,you must write "default" into depends.txt I'm going to correct the repository because i didn't know 0.4.5 came out. No i'm still using the last 0.4.4-d1 Ubuntu daily which was Uploaded on 27th Feb so far there are no Ubuntu daily or mai...
