kawickboy: I've download it twice times and the file doesn't seem to be good.
I can't launch it, even on xterm. I've got no problem with other linux games such grim fandango remastered or shovel knight.
Is that the GOG installer that's not running, or the game itself after installing?
Hi, the .sh file doesn't work. I can't launch it.

What error do you get?

I didn't ship a .sh file with the game - that's something that GOG has put together for GOG customers.

Do you see any errors if you run the .sh file from a terminal? If you check the readme (providing GOG hasn't changed that), you should find instructions for enabling the game log - it doesn't catch much, but it might give some clues as to what's going on.

I tried on a console. I did a chmod 777 on the file.
I'm just typing ./gog_day_of_the_tentacle_remastered_2.0.0.1.sh
And i'm getting:

/bin/sh: 0: Can't open ./gog_day_of_the_tentacle_remastered_2.0.0.1.sh

Hmm, odd! That's sh rather than bash saying it can't find the file. Are you sure you're launching it by just typing ./gog_day_of_the_tentacle_remastered_2.0.0.1.sh, and not something like sh ./gog_day_of_the_tentacle_remastered_2.0.0.1.sh

Is that definitely the correct filename (are you using tab complete to avoid typos)?

GOG is using MojoSetup installers which start with #!/bin/sh so that would be normal. I would suspect a corrupt download or they are not in the right directory. I don't currently own this on GOG or I would post a md5sum to compare against.

Cheers. I ended up buying the game today so that I could get an md5sum

kawickboy, can you try running md5sum ./gog_day_of_the_tentacle_remastered_2.0.0.1.sh and seeing if you get the same number. If your number is different, then you'll need to download it.
Thanks for all of this, i have exactly the same checksum.

OK, that's good at least! Sorry that it's taking so long to dig through and work out what's going on. I've not used GOG's chat functionality on Linux before, but I'd be happy to give that a go and try to walk through the problem with you in real-time next time we're both online if that's helpful.

Do you get any other terminal output when running ./gog_day_of_the_tentacle_remastered_2.0.0.1.sh?
user@desktop:~/Téléchargements$ ./gog_day_of_the_tentacle_remastered_2.0.0.1.sh
/bin/sh: 0: Can't open ./gog_day_of_the_tentacle_remastered_2.0.0.1.sh
user@desktop:~/Téléchargements$
Great: i add "bash" at the beginning of the command line and it runs !
i don't understand why (i did chmod 777) but thanks to everybody.

Odd, but great to hear that you're up and running! If you don't mind sharing, it'd be interesting to know what terminal shell you use. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the game! :)



Now that that's out of the way (I always feel a bit weird sharing something like this when there's an outstanding issue preventing someone from playing!), I wrote an article about my experiences with porting Day of the Tentacle to Linux that might be of interest to some players. In addition to my own thoughts, the article also includes quotes from other more experienced porters, whose perspectives help show that there are a lot of different approaches and ways to feel about this sort of work.

For anybody who hasn't spotted it yet, it can be found here. Enjoy :)

I assume that cheeseness wanted to know which shell you are using. If you don't know you can use

ps -p $$

The shell name is displayed in the CMD column.

Edit:

echo $0

should also work.
