Cannot install/Ubuntu Edgy 6.10
I have downloaded and tried to install VO a number of times. It gets stuck on the where to install portion. arg70 and arg32 problems occur. I am pretty much a Linux newb, but I got it to work fine in Dapper 6.06. I am a bit lost. Any help would be appreciated.
probably their weird shell again.
try "bash vendetta-installer.sh" (or whatever the installer is called) in a terminal

With Kubuntu 6.10 amd64 i had the same problem. Seems to work ok now that i created the directory it was asking for. (/home/<user>/bin)
Currently doing the updates

Game works fine for me.
Ok, I got it. Thanks for your help. I had made the (/home/<user>/bin) but (I'm an idiot) I capitalized Bin. All better and I'm runnin cargo. Thanks.
would be a lot better if it installed in /usr/local/games so it woul run for all users on a system
that'd mean you'd have to run it as root or make the directory world writable to allow it to update, which I personally don't really like. :P
you can move ~/bin/vendetta anywhere you like though. it will just redownload the data files for each new user.

Ubuntu links /bin/sh to /bin/dash and many installations like this one are known to fail. simple solution is:
sudo rm /bin/sh
sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
sudo rm /bin/sh
sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
Instead of removing /bin/sh, just do this command to disable dash
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash (select no)
