Heroes Of Newerth

[Guest]

Hello, I'm having trouble installing Heroes Of Newerth on Kubuntu 11.04 (and Savage2 but the error is the same). I have made the file executable and if I run 'sh HoNClient-2.0.29.1.sh' this is what I get:

199096+0 records in
388+1 records out
199096 bytes (199 kB) copied, 0.0586591 s, 3.4 MB/s

(<unknown>:2398): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_text_attributes_ref: assertion `values != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault

Can anybody help?

Missing dependencies? It seems to be a common problem with that app:

I found this possible solution while Googleing. After downloading the most recent version the person still got the error:

still looks like a corrupted d/l

You could try unzip HoNClient-2.0.21.sh and then copying out the data folder

so, it appears to be a packaging problem that is solved by manually unzipping the package and dragging the data folder out of the zip file and into the directory which the failed installation created.

Re: Heroes Of Newerth

This is not a bugfix. It's a workaround. It appears to be an issue with oxygen-gtk. You can work around this by installing an SSH server and using the command

ssh -X localhost

This will allow you to make a remote session with X11 forwarding, and the installer appears to work then.

Alternatively, you can use a different GTK theme. For example, installing the oxygen-molecule package

sudo apt-get install oxygen-molecule

and using the GTK+ Appearance module in System Settings to change the GTK theme to Oxygen-Molecule.

Hopefully this helps!
