The forum

Bare with me, this is my very 1st Windows app I install on Ubuntu 16.04 with PoL "ever".

I chose to install Spelunky (game), it is not a large nor particularly sources-demanding kind of game, it's only 19 Mbs.

The installation looked quite ok. However when attempting to run it, it gives me this message:

"Unexpected error occured while running Spelunky"

Nothing else is mentioned.

What is the 1st thing I should look into?

Thanks in advance guys :)

I have successfully test Spelunky in PlayOnLinux.  I even have a GTX 950 as well.  I have the GOG version and can give it a try again.

Make sure you have the 32-bit libraries installed in Linux.

Are you able to play any other games in PlayOnLinux?

Thank you for replying booman :)

"Are you able to play any other games in PlayOnLinux?"

No. Spelunky is the 1st program I try installing with POL.

 

Ok, its important to install the 32-bit libraries if you are using Ubuntu 64-bit.

Here is how to do it in Ubuntu:

1. Open the terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T

2. copy/paste or type:

3. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
   

4. Press Enter

5. copy/paste or type:

6. sudo apt-get update

7. Press Enter

8. copy/paste or type:

9. sudo apt-get install libasound2:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libfontconfig1:i386 lib32nss-mdns libgnutls26:i386 libxslt1.1:i386 libxcursor1:i386 libxcomposite1:i386 libosmesa6:i386 libopenal1:i386 libmpg123-0:i386 libldap-2.4-2:i386 liblcms2-2:i386 libgstreamer0.10-0:i386 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0:i386 libgsm1:i386 libxinerama1:i386 libxi6:i386 libv4l-0:i386 libsane:i386 libudev1:i386 libxml2:i386 libcups2:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libice6:i386 libsm6:i386

10. Press Enter

In Mint we have a package that does all of this for us.  Ubuntu used to include the 32-bit libraries but the newer versions do not.  so you have to do it manually.

This is what I've got:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package libgnutls26:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Unable to locate package lib32nss-mdns
E: Package 'libgnutls26:i386' has no installation candidate

What do you think?

DPC

Would I have more chances for this to work if I were to install the game in a Virtual Drive?

Looks like that one package didn't install.  Did the rest install anyways?

If you are unsure, you can always install them one at a time.  Or at least start at the beginning and if the first two are already installed then I would assume all of the packages are installed except the one that errored.

Once you have confirmed, try installing your game again.  I downloaded Spelunky from GOG this weekend and gave it a try.  It works perfectly for me through PlayOnLinux.  I couldn't setup my old controller, but I was able to play a two-player co-op game with my daughter.
