blakstar: Just checking, but I assume the OP has the following packages installed, listed as requirements on the game's store page:

Requires the following packages to be installed: libc6:i386, libasound2:i386, libasound2-data:i386, libasound2-plugins:i386 and dependencies.

Ganni1987: Ubuntu 14.10 32bit already comes with all of these. I've tried his distro in live cd mode across 2 completely different systems (one with an nvidia card and the other a crappy intel integrated gpu), it worked just fine on both.

pimpmonkey2382.313: Yep I got all those downloaded and installed too, and still no go.

blakstar: Could you try (in the terminal):

cd "/opt/GOG Games/Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic/game"

and then:

./wasteland

and let us know if you get any errors -- avoiding the start.sh script altogether, just to make sure.

niniendowarrior: I think I know what's happening to the no such files or directory. It must be because of the white space characters. Do this for me and copy the contents.

$ dpkg --list | grep gog

Here's an explanation. This above asks Debian Package Manager to list down all installed apps and then we're going to filter the list by the word "gog".

I would expect something like this to show up.
gog-wasteland

Then do this:
$ dpkg --listfiles gog-wasteland

Replace gog-wasteland with WHATEVER name pops up on your dpkg --list command.

Copy the contents and paste it here. This gives us who are trying to help you a baseline of where the stuff are in your computer. This also allows us to get the diagnostics commands we are asking you to do to work.

Good luck and post back. :)

blakstar: One other thing I can think of -- what resolution is your monitor running at? Apparently, there are some reports of Wasteland being a bit fussy about certain resolutions.

pimpmonkey2382.313: 1024 x 768, the highest the ubuntu will let me have.

niniendowarrior: That is awfully low and I think that there's something going on here especially when a simple dpkg command isn't found.

Do this and attach the textfile with the output.

$ glxinfo

ssokolow: It might be better to drop this script into the wasteland install folder and run it instead. (It's sort of a "dxdiag for Linux" that dumps glxinfo as well as a bunch of other things, so it should save some back-and-forthing)

(You want to put it inside the wasteland install folder because it uses its on-disk location as the game's location when reporting things like amount of free space, number of free inodes, etc.)

Another thing that may help is "strace wasteland > wasteland_strace.txt"
