Has anyone been able to get Danger From The Deep (Dangerdeep) to work under Ubuntu 10.04 for longer than 5 minutes or so without crashing & hanging up???
The graphics are superb & it looks like it would be a great game, if it would just work!!!
I have downloaded the "latest" files from Source Forge site, but still no luck.
You're (maybe) in luck, it appears as though someone is packaging Dangerdeep in a PPA here (last update was in November):
Here's the quick and dirty way in a terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aegirxx-googlemail/dftd-latest
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dangerdeep-latest
The upstream page does say that the game is in Alpha, so it might be one of those things where you'll need to report the failures to the developers, maybe they're looking for testers!
The binary to launch it is put in /usr/bin/dangerdeep. The deb appears to be missing a .desktop file, which is why it doesn't appear in the menu. This should be filed as a bug report with dangerdeep so that it's easier for users to find it.
On my Ubuntu 10.04 Danger Deep run very well. I've installed Dangerdeep.deb, dangerdeep_latest, and dangerdeep_data. And renewest my videocard driver. But dangerdeep getting crash from dangerdeep binary file.
