Debug mode does not work

Post by lapescara » Wed Jan 12, 2011 5:43 pm

Hi, my version of Lugaru hd does not activate the debug mode.
I have debug set to 1 in config.txt but when the game starts the terminal is not activated.
I read the console guide and tried different combinations of keys.
My version is part of the package humble bundle 2.
Something wrong?
S.O. Ubuntu 10.04 - 64

Either you've got the wrong config file, or you need to keep trying. I can't recall the location of the other config file, but someone else will. Otherwise, I sometime experience the change (debug 0/1) not taking effect until I change it back and forth a few times.

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately I have not resolved.
I also tried on the laptop (same OS) but does not work.
Maybe it's a problem of ubuntu, or my configuration.
When I have time I will try with another distribution.

Search your home directory for config.txt:

Code: Select all

find ~/ -name "config.txt" 
You might be editing the wrong config.txt. This is a common issue.

Thank you for your attention.
The path is right.
The config.txt file is located in my home / Lugaru / Data.
Along with it there is also a file debug readme .

Well, if you change simple stuff in that config.txt besides setting the debug mode, like "Invert mouse", for instance, is such a change applied?
If not, then that's not the config.txt you're looking for.

If that is so, then you'd have to search your / folder for config.txt. It might be in /etc, it might be in /usr/share, …

I myself can't check right now, unfortunately; my Ubuntu installation is broken at the moment.

Alright, fixed my Ubuntu. There should be a folder called .lugaru/ in your $HOME, and inside, you should have a folder called Data/, which should contain the config.txt.

Note the dot before lugaru/ — that indicates a hidden folder.

If it doesn't exist, create it. You can copy the other config.txt to ~/.lugaru/Data/, and then edit it.

That should pretty much work. Please report back!

Thank you very much. Problem solved.
In my home I found the folder lugaru visible and not thought there was also a hidden folder.
What a fool. :oops:
Thanks again!
