You've not got everything from the PPA, just some things.

I am experiencing the same difficulties and have not found any solutions. Well not anything that is clear to me. I'm basically bumping this thread, since it appears to be the most recent of this issue.

Note: these threads are similar, but I dont think they have a solve for the issue at present.
1. viewtopic.php?t=7544
2. viewtopic.php?t=7480&start=40

Here is exactly how I am experiencing the issue:
(Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, i5-1240P, 16 GB ram)

The openmw launcher wont play. Upon opening the launcher from the terminal:

Code: Select all

openwm-launcher
I get the following output after I hit Play:

Code: Select all

./openmw: symbol lookup error: ./openmw: undefined symbol: _ZNK3osg6Camera25computeLocalToWorldMatrixERNS_7MatrixdEPNS_11NodeVisitorE
What is the proper way to rectify this problem? Is this an issue with PPA method? Maybe I did something out of order or some dependency is not on the right version??


I recently did a fresh install of ubuntu and installed morrowind and openmw in this order:
1. Install Steam and enable SteamPlay for all games (proton compatability)
2. Install Morrowind GOTY so I have the files available
3. Install OpenMW following these steps for PPA: https://openmw.readthedocs.io/en/stable ... ubuntu-way (https://launchpad.net/~openmw/+archive/ubuntu/openmw)
With a quick check

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep -i openmw
I can see openmw is on version 0.47.0-1ubuntu1
4. Open the launcher and follow the setup wizard
5. Play fails to do anything
