And with another mouse ? It can be caused by your mouse...
Some mouse don't too much acceleration, and they do a odd thing during a second.

No, tested 3 mice (Razer Krait, Logitech Pilot and Genius NetScroll+ Mini), all of them jumping. It's really a software problem... Maybe something is wrong in Linux kernel (I have custom bulit 2.6.38.6) or Wine (built from sources of 1.3.20, but I changed nothing). I'll try testing on oringinal Ubuntu kernel and Wine from their repos...

Gah, I don't know what to do... Linux kernel is latest from Ubuntu repo (2.6.38-9-generic), also is WIne. But this bug is still there! D:

I'm on the last Wine, like you ( 1.3.20-2 or -3, I don't ..)
But my kernel isn't the same: i'm on 2.6.32-lts.
Do a backup of your kernel and compile it again ( the 2.6.38) and if it doesn't work, try with a more regular kernel, the 2.6.32

Downgraded wine to 1.3.15 again... I should've done it earlier. No jumping mouse here.

Lastest wine (1.3.20) seems to be buggy... I've got FC of the game, you've got cursor jumps.... I wish those bugs will be repared in the future....

I'll do like you, I'll compile 1.3.15 :S

how can I play online? I'm using ubuntu 11.04 and wine 1.3.20, I can use all the funtions but only offline.
when I put my ID and osu just do nothing.
Any ideas?

First, check if you've installed all the component to play OSU! ( List on the first page )

SEcondly, Wine 1.3.20 seems to cause troubles. First, try OSU! with wine 1.3.15 ( That you can found the sources here in order to compile them if you don't find the DEB file )

If the problem presists, send us a return of a terminal will you are trying to access to the online mode.

here I leave my guide to Ubuntu 11.04, Osu! run to perfection with little bugs but more than playable

Made for those who do not want to deal with the terminal and commands

1) Open ubuntu software center > type "wine" and install "Wine Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer" (81mb)

2)Go to the ubuntu logo in the top left of the screen and type "wine" then enter "Winetricks"

3) Select "Select the default wineprefix" then choose "Install a windows DLL or component"

4) You need to install the following:
d3dx10
dedx11_42
dedx9
dedx9_26
dedx9_28
dedx9_31
dedx9_35
dedx9_36
dedx9_42
dirac
directx9
dotnet20 (Important! don't install NET 3.0 or 3.5, your going to have problems)
gdiplus
msxml6
gecko
vcrun2005
msvcr80
atmlib


5) Go to the ubuntu logo in the top left of the screen and type "wine" then enter "Configure Wine" (I don't know how it is written in English but only comes into the wine glass)

this will create a configuration file, now we go to the tab "Audio" in the Hardware Acceleration option switch "Complete" to "Emulation" then close


6) Now Osu! but do not open, go to the installation file, right click and select Properties. Go to the Permissions tab and check the option "Allow executing file as program", Close.


7) The first time you install a program you have to give right-click and choose open with wine windows program loader:

Then installed without problems and they create a shortcut, now we're ready to play! (run 1000% better in Fullscreen mode)
I'll skip a NET error, but only give him to continue


To go to the folder of Osu! should go to your folder "" then choose from the options "View> "Show Hidden Files"

we go to the folder ".wine> drive_c> programs files> Osu!"

When I have installed OSu ( few month ago) I have only needed directx9 and dotnet20 on winetricks...

But your problem ( More precisely the problem with skins ) are strange.. I have never got this type of trouble...

Don't really know about DirectX and turning hardware sound acc to "emulation", is it really needed? Osu! works wonderful on my PC without DX and sound acc is set to "full". Only a .NET Framework 2.0 is installed.

Both are not really needed. I've just remove all d3dxx.dll files, and the game starts again. So directx isn't obligatory.
It's the same for audio, both option works.

However, it can depends of your OS, GNU/Linux is very sensitive

You're right, but I've added the directX files to play other games (like need for speed, MMORPG's and others) only with Osu! I have small bugs, others go without bugs

Hello!
I've bought brand new ATI Radeon HD 5870 and osu! runs preety slow. I had ~500-600 fps on my old GeForce 9600GT Green and only 300-400 fps and some lags on new videocard. Enjoy your ati?

Wine 1.3.21 has been released... So I ed source and tried compiling it. After some "segfault" errors I understood that extreme overclocking (Processor: 2660 -> 3900 MHz, RAM(DDR2): 333 MHz 6-6-6-18 -> 300 MHz 4-4-4-12) makes my machine VERY unstable. And something happened to custom kernel too... now there is Ubuntu's default 2.6.38-9-generic kernel and my machine has default settings.

Well, after all, I compiled new version, and, what my test showed: first of all, there is no jumping cursor after spinners now! Bug with video mem lack crashes hasn't returned, and that's awesome too. Baspar, could you please check new Wine on your machine, maybe bugs and errors you were talking about in .16-.20 were fixed.

lol, I installed Photoshop CS5 with a DLL and other windows components who asked and now Osu! works perfectly, no bugs, just like in windows, I can change the skins and find friends

I ed the following:
msxml6
gdiplus
gecko
vcrun2005
msvcr80
atmlib

now if I'm completely satisfied with ubuntu!

I was already on 1.3.21 when I've the problem :S

But I know what I am supposed to do to avoid this problem: I have to don't skip the opening/ending break

Like I say, Linux is very sensitive ><


And SatoXYN, ATi's linux drivers are less led than the nvidia one... Prehaps because of that :S

Wassaaaa: I think it's because of gdiplu. On some tutorials, they quot this package in order to play OSU


The most important/buggy element required by OSU is .NET

ATI opensource driver with mesa (xf86-video-ati) makes my 5870 garbage.
ATI catalyst blob is preety laggy. I don't know how to play osu with it. I have ~45gb of osu maps and when i choose map it runs 20 fps only, while on 9600gt was 60-70 fps. And there are some in-game lags which drives me crazy too.

I have artifacts both in osu and in OS/browser!
Trying to flash the bios

Mmh.. I can't help you, I have never got an ATi graphic card :S

Mmmm i have all beatmap packs in osu! and i have a ATI Radeon HD 5450 (low-profile) 1gb, Ubuntu 11.04, run at a resolution of 1024x768 (fullscreen) and runs 300 to 400 fps, in the options of CCC I have everything in Performance and and all options enabled in Osu! not that kind of problem you have, sorry

They should push Mono.XNA further and all this would be no problem.. Meh.

So I ed the latest wine build and got all the dlls that were suggested and got this error:

Every help and suggestion would be very nice^^

Have you installed all the packages listed above ?

If yes, I'll my OSu's folder, you'll only have to launch osu!.exe


EDIT: here you have: http://www.mediafire.com/?ijvlt4726ahafss

Wine doesn't like osu installation .exe, so only way to run is to get a folder with pre-installed osu. There was one here: http://www.mega.com/?d=ZXY2UTL7 (thanks to Nargajuna). Just put folder from archive and try lauhching osu!.exe in it.

A small suggestion to anyone having troubles like choppy audio or similar.

Just try a fresh wine prefix.

It will work flawlessly in minutes.

Sorry that the reply took so long but if I start the osu!.exe via wine the osu! logo appears but it no window ever appears.
after the logo disappears, at the spot where the logo was, the mouse also disappears.
Any idea why it never appears?

Launch OSU in a terminal and show us the error(s).

what was the terminal command for that? (sorry just started using Ubuntu)

Edit: I tried using it with "sudo wine osu!.exe" but I think the terminal doesn't like the "!", because it says "bash: !.exe: event not found"

Try that:

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/osu\!/osu\!.exe

If you leave wine folder on default, it'll be OK

( And yes, in bash, if there's a space or a ! in a filename, it'll be \! and \(space) )

Well it's outputting a lot of stuff but it basically repeats always "fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 16 not ed yet" all the time

This isn't a big problem that..
Is there any other error, but without "fixme" on the begenning of the line ?

Have you install all the package listed on the first page ? ( Or on the post above )

Rukarioman wrote: 6691l

What kind of video card? Which driver? When you run the Wine do not need to use the sudo.

err ... can someone tell me a good screen recording programm for linux, which also records the sound from the desktop and/or single windows?
so i maybe could make something like a little video tutorial ... or stuff ^^

That "fixme" is because of dotnet. But not appearing osu-window clearly shows that it is video-driver error.

Rukarioman, have you installed NVidia/ATI proprietary drivers? If not, install them using "Menu -> System -> Extra drivers" (don't know how exactly it's called in English, 'cause I have Russian version of Xubuntu).
If they are installed, try fully cleaning your wine prefix: enter "winetricks" in terminal, then "select the default wineprefix -> Delete ALL DATA AND APPLICATIONS INSIDE THIS PREFIX" (normally default wineprefix is

/home/%NAME%/.wine/

and don't forget to move your osu! folder from there (if it's there), or it will be deleted too).
Then, after cleaning prefix, it will be recreated with default settings. Close winetricks window, then type in terminal window once again:

winetricks corefonts fontfix gdiplus dotnet20

(Well, after "winericks" programs can go in any order, but better just copy-paste that line in you terminal)
After everything is installed, type "winecfg" in terminal and Wine Config window will appear. Select "Audio", and then in DirectSound section set Hardware Acceleration to "Emutation".

Well, after all of this procedures everything is working just perfect on my machine: Intel Pentium 4 3,66 GHz, 1Gb DDRII RAM, NVidia GeForce 8600 GTS. And my system is Xubuntu 11.04, kernel is custom-compiled 2.6.39.1.
If you won't have any problems, that's awesome, if that will be happening again, there is something wrong with your system and/or hardware.

Thank you very much My osu initially ran and I could see the main menu window, but I couldn't figure out why the fonts weren't rendering, however, when I ran winetricks corefonts fontfix gdiplus it was fixed. Then I realized the sound was screwed up because everytime I ran it the sound would play for like 10 seconds or so then stop for no apparent reason, but once again your post saved me again by changing DirectSound to "Emulation". Now osu! runs perfectly on Ubuntu .

I hope that's not unrelevant.
I successfully installed Osu!, but it won't let me play a song. Suddenly nothing happens and any sound is being muted.
What shall I do?

your OSZ files, and place them on the folder: "/home/name/.wine/drve_c/Program files/osu !/Songs/"
(Replace name by yours )
When you'll launch OSU, song will be updated , but if it doesn't work, press F5 to force reload.

Maybe it is because of DirectSound hardware acceleration? osu! don't like the "Full" setting, try switching it to "Emulation" in wine config. Or this is something with your sound system (I'm using PulseAudio with ALSA without any problems).

I turned it on emulation mode, and it all works perfectly, but it won't let me use text input areas.
What shall I do?

Well, I sometimes have this bug: I couldn't type a text in "search beatmap". However, opening and closing chat (F8) fixes that.

Well, about sound problem: that hangup that "emulation" cures does not occur on pure ALSA (without PulseAudio installed). I just cheked that, set acceleration to "Full" and launched osu -- everything works just like it should.

Installation seems to crash on "Submitting Product Information". Any ideas?

Ach! I need to to read before bumping next time!

Sorry for the trouble. (Coincidentally this was the workaround idea I had in mind but I was pretty sure nobody would give out pre-installed osu folders.)

Often even less than a line .. I am very troubled

connecting time out

Does it happen to you all time ?

Because, on my PC, it happen sometime, but I have to relaunch the game and it works great...

Are other wine game able to connect to servers ?

I have a problem with adding new songs.
I can play everything i had put in in windows, but when i add a new song(i even tried extracting them manualy) i cant play no song.
the menus work, but as soon as i go "ingame" the song freezes while loading.
after deleting the new songs folder, everything works fine again.
edit:
now after rebooting my machine its working
lol

Sorry for my bad english i'm italian

I've followed all the instructions in the first page, but osu! doesn't work. When I try to launch the installer with wine, this error appears "The file '/home/malcolm/Documenti/osu!install.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was ed or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit."

What does it mean? I have ubuntu since few days and I can't still use it properly.
I hope someone could help me

Trying to get this to run in Ubuntu 11.04 has been nothing but fail for me. Upon executing the osu! logo appears, promptly disappears and that's it.

That's not their problem. As you can see in terminal, there is some issues with your audio and video cards.
First of all, have you installed NVidia/ATI(AMD) proprietary drivers? It's very important, 'cause GPU doesn't work in full power with standard linux video drivers.
Don't know what to say about audio error, never had it, sorry.

OSU is broken in wine 1.3.28
UPDATE:
From now it's necessary to install msvcr80

i cant install osu, the installer stopped at"Publisher product information".
after i copy osu(installed in windows) folder to ubuntu,and lauch osu.exe, it just show the splash--a big osu,and then nothing.
can anyone help me? thanks!!

Hello again, now I have a netbook (1gb RAM, Intel integrated Graphics 256mb) with ubuntu 11.04 and wine but the "Osu!" run at 1 fps, too slow, any suggestions?

I've also tried a lighter distribution of ubuntu, easypeasy, but it seems that net framework is not installed properly and open Osu!, logo appears and then just disappears

Another experience I had is that I easypeasy games ran perfectly, even better than windows, Touhou to 60 fps. But in Ubuntu 11.04 games are very slow and do not look good as Touhou



I had stayed with easypeasy but as there was no solution to the problem of Osu and net, I changed

I am writing this on BackTrack 5. Osu! is start but it is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally laggy, and slow load time. I think this this will don't work for me, so I am change back to windows now. But it is a good OS anyway, just not for osu!. ._.

Well, I've got some serious problems running Osu in Ubuntu 11.10:
1. Bancho won't launch.
2. Beatmaps don't work. When I try to start a beatmap, it just goes to the beatmap and does nothing.
3. When I exit Osu, it makes the resolution stuck and I have to reset my computer for it to resize. I can't change it manually after I exit Osu.

I'm having the same problem but I had resolved in my other computer, the problem is that I do not ! I think it had more to install a library and the problem of the resolution has to run on a virtual desktop and your problem of bancho I have no idea because it does not start :/

What's now?

i add directmusic and dsound, run on Audio Emulation but it sounds like ass

Nothing happened

Problem: whenever I start a beatmap, I see the background and nothing happens. I try to return to the menu, I get a black screen and have to force osu to close.

Problem: When I'm going to install, everythigs works right except for the sudo apt-get install cabextract. When I type this, it appears on the screen: " is not on the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." What do I do?

Ok newbe here, but i got it working. let me work on my grammar and get it set up with a pictured guide (tested on 11.10)
even the install works

It means you do not have super access. basically it is saying you can not change any system settings. find an that is level and go on with the install. If you do not have access talk to the person who helped you with your ubuntu install

^This tuto don't work for a netbook, you have a better U That is the reason that you see is not slow. In OpenGL throws me about 6 fps but in directx I get about 120 to 200 fps, the problem it's i have problem to start a map, this don't start and I know the problem is the audio in wine and its version 1.3, the problem with version 1.2 is that in ubuntu 11.10 does not let you give permission to the file to run as an application

The other problem I have is that I can not install an older version of ubuntu, there comes a time when the installation does not continue

PD: clarified that in my desktop PC in Ubuntu 11.04 goes perfect the only problem I have is in the netbook

now run the installer.
The installer will say that it failed. but all the files where extracted into the "program files" folder.
run osu! should be in your dash.
in the settings change the graphics to opengl. you might a few error warnings, but it will still start i got no lag with this.
now you have osu on ur ubuntu box
11.10 x86_64
stats on my computer's hardware can be found here http://raido.webhop.org/out.txt

^This tuto don't work for a netbook, you have a better U That is the reason that you see is not slow. In OpenGL throws me about 6 fps but in directx I get about 120 to 200 fps, the problem it's i have problem to start a map, this don't start and I know the problem is the audio in wine and its version 1.3, the problem with version 1.2 is that in ubuntu 11.10 does not let you give permission to the file to run as an application

The other problem I have is that I can not install an older version of ubuntu, there comes a time when the installation does not continue

PD: clarified that in my desktop PC in Ubuntu 11.04 goes perfect the only problem I have is in the netbook

what do you mean permission? 1 of two things i can think of if it is the installer,
right click it and select wine under the "open with" option.
and/or
right click. select properties > premissions tab > tick the execute option.

also i will test on a netbook aswell, my sister has an 1.6 intel atom netbook.

I have tested on a notebook with ubuntu 11.10 x86
stats on the netbook... game rez set to lowest and low-end pc clicked. avg FPS is 40

HOLY SHIT everybody who playing on sandy bridge should update to the 3.1 kernel. I had about 180fps on <3.1 kernel and on 3.1 >300fps!
BTW I'll write small tutorial tomorrow how to run osu with maximum speed.

I would say to go for it, if you do not mind going out side the stable area. other wise wait untill then, i don't think it is worth risking a system crash for extra FPS when you are already at 180fps.
If you know what your doing, go for it. if you don't, THEN WAIT.
Just because it worked for 1 does not mean it will work for the rest. i will be test osu on stable wine (wine 1.2) tomorrow between my 2 classes.

I can not run Osu! on my netbook! someone can make a noob guide step by step for me please?

rocker2344, kernel 3.1 is a current stable kernel. Why shouldn't I use it?

Well, a tutorial here.
I'm using ArchLinux with latest kernel(3.1) and latest wine(1.3.32) with a sandy brigde intel HD3000 gpu on Lenovo Thinkpad x220 laptop.
1) Copy installed osu folder to your home directory or any suitable path.
2) Run winetricks dotnet20
3) Run winetricks gdiplus ddr=opengl dsoundhw=Full fontsmooth=rgb glsl=disabled multisampling=disabled rtlm=disabled strictdrawordering=disabled
4) Always run osu in a wine's desktop window. It would add some FPS because without desktop window wine probes video ports every VBLANK. I have 160 FPS without desktop window and 250 with desktop window.
vblank_mode=0 WINEDEBUG=-all WINEARCH=win32 wine explorer.exe /desktop=osu,1366x768 osu\!.exe
where 1366x768 your resolution.

Try not to use pulseaudio. If you don't really need it, just remove it, if you cannot remove it use pasuspender

Run osu and execute
cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params
If you buffers are high(above 8192 I think) then you can make them lower to make audio latency lower.

Create /etc/asound.conf with this:

pcm.!default {
      type plug
      slave.pcm "dmixer"
  }

pcm.dmixer {
  type dmix
  ipc_key 1024
   slave {
    pcm "hw:0,0"
    period_time 0
    period_size 512
    buffer_time 0
    buffer_size 2048
   }
}

Change period_size and buffer_size to bigger values if you have no sound at all or shuttering.

Disable composite while playing! this is one of the most important thing.

how do you create he archive asound.conf? is the only step I'm missing

Ty for the tut. I say 3.1 is not stable because it is not currently marked as stable on http://kernel.org It was marked as mainline.
I will take what you have here and make it work for the ubuntu/fredora s. just because every distro is slightly different.

It means you do not have super access. basically it is saying you can not change any system settings. find an that is level and go on with the install. If you do not have access talk to the person who helped you with your ubuntu install

Ah... about the last part, the problem is my notebook already came with Linux and Wine installed.

rocker2344 why you gave some advices if you don't know the distro? And don't look at kernel.org because it isn't fully working now because of hack from september. Current stable is 3.1.

because linux commands are generic. and if you're on a linux distro, you should know how to do what he said to begin with.

dkun, no. For example, in my distro (ArchLinux) you should add to group "wheel", not "" and edit /etc/sudoers to allow run sudo in wheel group.

Well, thanks, but when I enter in recovery, it shows "You will lose all your files", and I don't want to lose it, so.. I think I'll have to play osu! on my computer (with Windows). Anyway, thanks~!

Name of thread.

Solution: Running Osu! In Ubuntu or Xubuntu
idr if tsuyo mentioned what distro they have. so default is ubuntu.
if they mentioned that they have a diffrent distro, i would have researched what to do for said distro.

Kernel.org, i thought the hack issue would have been fixed over the last 2 months????
then if 3.1 is the stable, i say go for it if it is known to work well with your distro. Example Sato's arch.
i dont think 3.1 is in the ubuntu repo's yet.
nope it is not. as of 9/11/11 4pm est

rocker2344, well, why do you think that ubuntu is a default distro? BTW current stable kernel is 3.1.1 and I don't think that ubuntu's repos includes it because it's 'latest' stable.

[quoteNice work I gotta say. Also what specs have you got ? I wanna try Ubuntu but I love osu!, if its runs laggy then theres no point for me trying. I rather stay on windows and have osu!][/quote]
Try using Double-OS (install both Ubuntu and Windows), Ubuntu is Designed for Double-OS Use or VirtualBox and run osu! on it

Just tried getting osu! to work on Ubuntu 11.10 x64:

- Installed Wine 1.3 without problem
- Installed .NET Framework 2.0 via winetricks
- Attempted to install osu! (got errors in Terminal, one being about XNA), osu! installer failed but files stayed
- Renamed osu!.exe to osu.exe (Terminal does not like !)
- Had graphics corruption (related to gdi, I saw a post about this so I'll check it out in a bit), tried switching to OGL
- OGL resulted in 2 errors stating it couldn't change the resolution, followed by a black-corrupted osu! game window with music playing

Just changed wine to use a virtual desktop:

- OGL has corruption on the left side of the screen (takes up about 1/5th of the screen), and seems to be slower then D3D (and also still complains about not being able to change resolution)
- D3D looks fine, but I drop to 30FPS or so at some points

i can setup osu! without problem.but it always crash when i run it.
i don't know why.

ps:i am using a netbook,maybe my video card is too bad.its driver is not suitable.and my OS is opensuse.

About installing: .NET and XNA libraries work not good in Wine, so better to just install the game in Windows and/or copy game folder to place from where you want to access it in Linux-based OS.

Here's a script I wrote to quickly get Osu running on Arch Linux, x86_64, using an NVidia Graphics Card with Official NVidia Drivers (only!).

Using the script:
1. Save the codebox to 'installosu.sh'
2. Run: chmod +x installosu.sh
3. Run: ./installosu.sh
4. Install whatever pops up
5. Run ~/osu and update.

#! /bin/bash
## installosu.sh
### made on and for: arch linux x86_64, on nvidia.
### uses official nvidia drivers

## you can change this if you want to
WINEPREFIX=~/.osu

clear; printf "====\n== Installing required packages\n====\n"

ln -s "${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/Program Files/Songs" "${HOME}/.osusongs"
chmod +x ~/osu
clear; echo "Osu installed for you, hopefully. :) Run it with ~/osu"

Notes:
* After installation,start with '~/osu'
* The easiest way to install songs is to them and drag the file over the Osu window. Installed songs will be in '~/.osusongs'
* OpenGL works fine for me on the start screen, but won't get past the song list. Keep it on DirectX for your own safety.
* It's not my fault if it breaks your computer. If you have a problem with the script, I'll only help you if your system matches the above specs.
* Sound MAY or MAY NOT work, depending on your configuration. I haven't quite figured out a definite fix for any sound problems, so you may have to mess with your sound configuration to get it working. As a side note, it's not worth trying to play anything if the sound is garbled, as the rest of the game will destabilize if the sound is not OK.

Can confirm your script also works with 32 bit installations of Arch Linux! The only issue I had is the osu! window running away from my mouse unless I put it on fullscreen but that seems to be a problem between WINE and awesome (my tiling window manager).

At any rate, good job and thank you!

I have osu! on Ubuntu 11.10 x64 almost fully playable, but I have an issue with sliders:


(all sliders have some weird glitched graphics around them)

Forcing slider rendering or disabling it does nothing also.

Hi,
I installed osu! really fine on my Ubuntu 11.10. Here is how I did:

- Open a terminal : Alt+Ctrl+T
- Install the latest wine:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install wine1.3

- Install Winetricks:

wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks ; chmod +x winetricks 

- Install dotnet 2 in a clear wineprefix (if you are prompted to install Gecko, accept):

WINEPREFIX=/home/yourname/.wine/osu winetricks dotnet20

- Run osu! installer (we consider it is in your s folder - if your system locale is not English, it may be translated in your language, for exemple "Téléchargements" in French):

cd s; WINEPREFIX=/home/yourname/.wine/osu wine setup

- The installer will probably get an error before the end of the process. So keep an eye on the window, if the process reaches "Saving product information", it should be good! If it does not reach this step, run the setup once again.
- Don't close the terminal. Open (graphically) your personal folder, do CTRL+H, look for the '.wine' folder and open it. Open then 'osu', 'drive_c', 'Program Files', 'osu'. Rename 'osu!.exe to 'osu.exe".
- If you can't find the "osu" folder, run the installer once again, as before.
- On your desktop, you should find an "osu!" icon. Right-click it and select "Properties".The commend line should be:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/yourname/.wine/osu" wine C:\\Program\ Files\\osu\\osu!.exe 

Delete the exclamation mark and accept.
- You should be ready to play!
- I got terrible freezes on screen transitions in OpenGL mode, so I kept D3D.

*1: Also, to avoid sound problems, do the following just before playing:
- open a terminal
- sudo nano .pulse/client.conf
- write 'autospawn=no' <- it will force the sound device to ALSA, which is finest for emulated programs but worse for linux native programs.
- CTRL+O, ENTER, CTRL+X
- killall -9 pulseaudio

*2: After you finished your play, do this in the terminal you opened before playing:
- if you do not want ALSA as default sound device (this will force you to do *1 each time you will play, otherwise you will be able to play directly):
|--> sudo nano .pulse/client.conf
|--> replace 'no' by 'yes '
|--> CTRL+O, ENTER, CTRL+X
- pulseaudio
- DO NOT CLOSE THE TERMINAL

^ do your sliders render properly? I followed a similar process (except killing pulseaudio) and my sliders are the only thing that are messed up...

I have a Radeon HD 5570 and I installed either 11.12 or 12.1 catalyst from AMD's site

I had radeon for 2 or 3 months, and yes, it is the one to have rendering problems. Not only on osu, but I had that glitches on desktop too. Intel and Nvidia are fine.

A fix for anyone using pulseaudio:

Before play,

pacmd suspend true

After play,

pacmd suspend false

Any other solution that involves killing pulseaudio may disrupt currently running applications and make them fail to run after it has been killed. This solution simply tells pulseaudio to suspend itself (freeing up ALSA) while all the other pulse-based applications continue to run. When you turn it off, applications don't see that anything happened and continue running as they were before.

chiisai_tanuki, thank you very much!!! for your HOW TO! its work!

For me, the sliders are OK. My graphic card is Nvidia GeForce 9500 GS. Every thing work OK, except the sound that sometimes bugs because of Pulseaudio. I will try your tip, Xerrao!

So guys, how to play with minimal latency
0) Remove pulseaudio. No shit.
1) Dealing with alsa buffers.
If you have a sound card without hardware mixing (all internal cards and cheap external ones), then all the mixing is done by alsa in the plugin called dmix. We should tune this to achieve overall minimal application->sound card latency.
All we need is to set period_size and buffer_size as minimal as it can be for out sound card. To get current numbers run your favourite audio player with your favourite track and run:
cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params (card0, pcm0p and sub0 may vary).

[23:16:07] valdikss@valtop ~/games/osu! $ cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params 
access: MMAP_INTERLEAVED
format: S16_LE
subformat: STD
channels: 2
rate: 48000 (48000/1)
period_size: 6000
buffer_size: 18000

6000+18000 = 24000 / 1000 = 24ms! Quite a big number.
Now we should determine minimal period_size. Create /etc/asound.conf:

pcm.!default {
      type plug
      slave.pcm "dmixer"
  }

pcm.dmixer {
  type dmix
  ipc_key 1024
   slave {
    pcm "hw:0,0"
    period_size 1
    buffer_size 1
   }
}

Make sure nobody uses audio device (cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params should output "closed"), run your audio player and execute:
cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params
again. You should hear cracking sound, so don't worry.

access: MMAP_INTERLEAVED
format: S16_LE
subformat: STD
channels: 2
rate: 48000 (48000/1)
period_size: 32
buffer_size: 64

As for me, minimal period_size is 32. Set this value into your /etc/asound.conf.
Now it's time to deal with buffer_size. 512 is a good value to start with. Set it in your /etc/asound.conf as well. Open your player, listen to some music a bit, you should hear clear sound without cracklings. If you head cracking sound, increase you buffer_size, but , it should be multiple of period_size.
My values are 32 and 640.

2) Tuning directsound buffers.
Osu! uses directsound for audio output and it has own buffers too. It can be configured via wines' regedit.
Run regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_/Software/Wine/DirectSound.
By default buffer size is 65536 and sound queue is 10.
Firstly, decrease sound queue. Create string parameter(REG_SZ) named "SndQueueMax" and set it to 3 for example, then run osu!. It should start and you definitely will hear that latency has become lower. Close the game.
Now, create key named "HelBuflen" — it's directsound buffer size. Set it to 16384 and then run the game. If you hear cracking sound, increase buffer twice.

3) Patching winealsa.drv
For the best latency, you can change buffers in dlls/winealsa.drv/mmdevdrv.c wine source file, then recompile it.
Values to change:
DefaultPeriod, MinimumPeriod, EXTRA_SAFE_RT. I have it 20000/20000/10000. With this values you can set directsound buffer size even lower.

If you're using skype, you should create new pcm device (add it to /etc/asound.conf) as skype can't work with low latency. Just create another pcm with dmix and values like 1024/4096, name it "hugelatency", run skype and choose "hugelatency" as output device in the settings.

Does anybody play in opengl mode? I used to play in opengl, but now I got stuck on "checking new songs" every time. That happened all the time on my desktop with nvidia, and started to happen on intel HD3000 on my laptop too.
