How can I get past this error message ?

I have copied the contents to my hard drive and I am trying to find a way to run it / install it

Thanks

[Jonathan (jsharris99)]

I should mention I am running on ubunto wily

Thanks

Hey Jonathan. By the looks of it, the Launcher is looking for data where it doesn't exist. Have you tried running it off of the DVD?

[Jonathan (jsharris99)]

Yes I have tried to run it off the DVD and it just stopped with no diagnostics. ?!

[Kip Warner (kip)]

Hey Jonathan. Can you show me the console output when you run off the DVD? e.g.

$ cd /media/jonathan/AVANEYA_VLR/ (or whatever path it is mounted as)
$ ./autorun

[Jonathan (jsharris99)]

Hi I gave it above - Please find another run result

/media/jonathan/AVANEYA_VLR$ ./autorun

Looks like you found a bona fide bug. This issue appears to pop up since Wily. I can confirm it. Finding the actual problem right now is beyond the time I have, but I suspect its a simple language bindings or Gtk+ API problem. If its possible and you have a VM running in VirtualBox with a previous version of Ubuntu, try running it in there.

At some point in time someone changed something to do with the interface to the virtual terminal widget. I always had problems with it in the past, but it looks like there was still one more. I'm sorry.

[Jonathan (jsharris99)]

Added gtk 32 bit (i386) (running on 64 bit wily) and also gksudo and a /usr/lib/libcanberra.so symbolic link (not sure which of these changed things but i now get the following;

Hey Jonathan. Did you try running with an older version of Ubuntu? Try 14.04 in a VM.

[Jonathan (jsharris99)]

I tried it in an VM - it works ! BUT VERY VERY SLOW.

[Kip Warner (kip)]

Hey Jonathan. Glad to hear. Sorry about the speed, but I'm not sure if that's because it's in a VM or because the forensic recovery actually takes a long time.

[Jonathan (jsharris99)]

I am confused. I thought this was more than just a few images of the landers.

Please can you help me to understand where the rest of the game is ?

Oh and quite a lot of the images have come out with odd scan lines. ...

[Kip Warner (kip)]

Hey Jonathan. As it says on the box, in the enclosed documentation, and when you run the software on the first page, it isn't a game. Take a look at the enclosed pamphlet.

[Jonathan (jsharris99)]

Thanks Kip.

How can I fix the photos that arent scanning properly?

[Kip Warner (kip)]

Hey Jonathan. Many of the images are recovered like that because they were either transmitted back to Earth like that, or these are artefacts from the rotting magnetic tapes. The extractor does the best job it can to re-assemble them, but there will still be some flaws remaining in many cases. There are many high resolution images that are fully recoverable though, as you've probably found by now.

I recommend you check out the Handbook's chapter on the VLR for more information.

[Jonathan (jsharris99)]

Thank you Kip ;-) ! I think the images are fantastic

[Kip Warner (kip)]

Thanks Jonathan. We're happy you are enjoying it. Please tell your friends about Avaneya.
