Posted October 16, 2015
AterValeo: Hey Ganni: thanks so much for posting this! It worked great for me to get the game working in Linux Mint 17.2 (MATE). However, I have a few issues to report in case you are familiar with any of them (UPDATED 10/11/2015):
1. I cannot start the file via .nwn (it just hangs indefinitely), but I can start the game fine via nwmain in WINE.
2. I have all dependencies installed, but none of the *.bmu music files play in the game, only the music in the movies, sound effects (including background talking in taverns and the like), and voices.
3. I do not get any sound at all until I mute/unmute the entire system with a hotkey...
A. ...after first opening any of the *.nwm modules.
B. ...when starting the game or switching to and from the game when my main desktop resolution does not match the fullscreen resolution of the game. I have no idea why having a non-matching resolution would cause the sound not to function or be muted like that and haven't been able to find anything else on this.

Ganni1987: Hello, can't say I encountered any of these issues. A few things I noticed from your log: You're running those commands with sudo, that's not needed, Try to run it without. 1. I cannot start the file via .nwn (it just hangs indefinitely), but I can start the game fine via nwmain in WINE.
2. I have all dependencies installed, but none of the *.bmu music files play in the game, only the music in the movies, sound effects (including background talking in taverns and the like), and voices.
3. I do not get any sound at all until I mute/unmute the entire system with a hotkey...
A. ...after first opening any of the *.nwm modules.
B. ...when starting the game or switching to and from the game when my main desktop resolution does not match the fullscreen resolution of the game.
