Okay, I kept getting an error when I tried to install, but it ended up running just fine. Though, I think I'm missing something, based on the screenshot I have. Like, none of the text is there. Am I missing a font?

EDIT: It hangs when I try to play a beatmap.

Looks like you''ve skipped winetricks gdiplus.

Oh hey, that worked! Thanks!

EDIT: It still hangs when I try to play a beatmap. Like, I can move the cursor and pause it, but it won't start.

Check the rights oc the folder of the songs, perhaps that ... If it isn't that, launch OSU in a terminal and paste here the error

AnnaleseSilverwing you have to use wine-pulseaudio patches or to remove pulseaudio, the first is better.

Well, Sato, there is no really need for wine-pulseaudio. Silverwing, go to winecfg -> sound and set hardware acceleration to Emulate. When it set to Full, it encounters the problem with hanging beatmaps.

Hi, I'm using Arch Linux x86_64 and I have problem with osu! under wine. After a little time of playing the game crashes because of lack of graphics card memory. I've never had such error on Windows, and I have quite decent graphics (GF9800 GT) so it's not because of my rig. I'll be thankfull for help.

here's what osu! shows:

Pretty sure you have to enable the extra effects, go to System, then Appearance and after click on the visual effects tab and select the Extra option.
compizconfig as well, go to terminal and --> sudo apt-get install compizconfig.

wheew, easier than i thought <_<

follow instructions on Page 6, set Sound to ALSA and output to emulated, and you're done
at least, it runs as perfect as it does in windows for me ^^
only problem is, that the offset changes dramatically between both OS's <_<

I updated Wine from 1.3.15 to 1.3.19 yesturday, but testing today showed that I have the same error as garam. Well, I have even older graphics card - GeForce 8600 GTS. NVidia drivers are installed. There wasn't such error on 1.3.15 and I don't want to downgrade again >_<

xset m 3/2 1 ← 1.5 times faster.
xset q|grep accel ← check currrent settings.
If second number is not 1, acceleration will be enabled. I don't sure if you want this.
You can make a wrapper launcher for osu if you want to change mouse speed only while osu is running (like xset m <osu> <settings>
wine 'osu!.exe'
xset m default).
ED: most players (including me) prefers to change speed and disable acceleration (acceleration changes speed on fast movements, hard to adapt on jumps) but you're free to do what you like.

Hm, if you have no problems, looks like I have to delete a prefix and remake it (again). 'Cause something is always going wrong after updating prefixes for new Wine version.

Well, remaking prefix hadn't helped with videomem lacking, and jumping mouse came back. =_=

So, i downgraded to 1.3.15, there is no such problems. If someone have problem with memory lacking and crash, look at this bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27134 - I submitted it yesturday, if you have the same, leave a comment and make a vote. Probably developers will show attention to it and will fix it.

Same trouble here. But the game doesn't crashed at any time. When I play this map: http://osu-ppy-sh.jeuxcrack.net/s/22040 , game crashed always at the same moment. OSU shows an error" graphic card out of memory" and same in a shell, always a hexa number which shows a memory slot... I'll follow your tip, and I'lll downgrade wine...

Don't you have a jumping mouse problem after spinner

now i know what you meant by that
i had this now, but only once, and only after shortly leaving the Osu! window, and then activating it again before ending a break
but playing it through without leaving it shouldn't cause problems

Mmh, there're no more "memory card" troubles with wine 1.3.20

Baspar wrote: 5h3n6j

You're right, Baspar! There is no crashes on 1.3.20. However, there is still a bit jumpy cursor after spinner. What could fix him?
Someone said that setting mouse sensitivity to 1x can fix it, but I never changed it, used only "xset m".

Also, I noticed, there is no need to set sound HardwareAcceleration to Emulated. Game is not "hanging" with HA set to Basic, Standard and Full now.

OSU's mouse sensitivity must be at 1x and the acc must be off too.

For the settings, I used xset m 7/4 .

Do you set it like that ?

If it's not the trouble.. Send us a return of wine in a terminal ( All the useful errors )


EDIT/
Well, this new version bring me an other problem: Each 5~10 min, the game shuts down with error "err:seh:setup_exception_record nested exception on signal stack in thread" (Following by few hexa numbers) Is someone in the same case ?

Well, osu's mouse settings are set to defaults (1x, mouse prescision off),

xset m 3/2 1 (1 means acc is default - off

But mouse is still jumping after spinner, sometimes for some pixels, sometimes to the other side of screen. Even when xset m 1 1.

About a new problem: sorry, never had it, so I couldn't help you.

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

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 )

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.

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?

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.

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.



Tried this with both mono and dotnet20

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.

The proprietary drivers are one of the first things I installed.

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 :/

Running it on a virtual desktop fixed my 3rd problem, thanks!
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

Some things to note as i have been messing
opengl seems to kill the back option and edit mode
direcx makes random lag. Edit mode works. and back button works unlike opengl
so opengl for game play and direcx for edit (unless you have a more powerful gpu than me.)

Open a terminal
run the command

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

this will install wine 1.3 and winetricks
next run the command

winetricks

follow the pictures attached


only click the d3dx9 the ones below are apart of that one. < optional. works but game gave me random lag
dotnet20
gdiplus
mono28

click ok and follow any installers that show up
Follow the pictures again

dssound=Emulation
ddr=opengl
sound=alsa

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

^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

That's not an archive, just a plain text file.
sudo nano /etc/asound.conf
