Problem with zsnes and Linux Ubuntu
Hi, i've been using zsnes for years now on windows, and i jsut recently installed ubuntu on my system, and i was using zsnes for about a week with no problems,
but now when i launch zsnes the program will pop up for about a second and then just dissappear like it never existed... it's quite frustrating as i cant figure out what's causing it.
any help would be appreciated
note: im familiar enough with ubuntu, but not as much so as i was with windows, so a good explanation is probably needed if anyone knows a solution.

I have a problem that produces similar output to David's, but I have a different problem; there is no sound.
I tried using the line
but that didn't work for me. I got the output...
Any suggestions? Thanks.

libao? Maybe I should have stated that I'm also a Windows user and just installed Ubuntu.
EDIT: Nevermind... I found the fix... I had to change something in the zsnesl.cfg file
libAoDriver="auto"
to
libAoDriver="sdl"

I hope this helps those out who just installed Ubuntu 8.10 (Hardy Heron)
Thanks for everything

Just to save you from getting burned elsewhere (particularly, on forums where there are many Linux users).
Don't pronounce the distro name after Linux. By the rules of the English language, "Linux Ubuntu" means that "Ubuntu" is owned by Linux, or that "Linux" is modifying "Ubuntu".
It is "Ubuntu Linux". Because the developers are taking "Linux" (and other GNU GPL/LGPL / whatever components) and modifing it. But All these things wrap around the kernel, Linux. So we call it Ubuntu Linux, in the same way we have "Slackware Linux", "Arch Linux", etc.
I really don't mean to nitpick. I'm actually doing you a favour.

Does it really matter?
This is not a port specific forum and frankly I'd rather have people give as much info as they can instead of giving very little info such as "Linux" without mentioning what distro they are using.

I'm just saying is all. If he goes to say, ubuntuforums.org, and says "Linux Ubuntu", people will dismiss him as "ignorant". I'm not saying that will happen here, or places similiar; only in places where moronic zealous rules.
I don't want to be horrible, but those are the facts.
Usually I wouldn't care, but I thought "hey, why don't I just spend 10 seconds explaining it to him, eh?".

Debian users are mostly Linux users.
However, there's also Debian FreeBSD, Debian OpenSolaris, Debian Hurd, and IIRC another one as well.
May 9 2007 - NSRT 3.4, now with lots of hashing and even more accurate information! Go download it.

You still got GNU/Linux and Ubuntu the wrong way round. It goes in this order:ibeleaf wrote:so now i upgraded to "GNU/Linux Ubuntu 8.04LTS Hardy Heron" (happy franky?, there's the whole freakin' name.) and i now have no sound... i will attempt the same fix the other guy did and i'll post back.
Ubuntu GNU/Linux
The "8.04LTS Hardy Heron" bit is not nessesary.
Ubuntu GNU/Linux will do.
But then the GNU isn't needed in this case either. Saying only Linux as the whole OS is wrong. Saying GNU/Linux is right, since Linux is only 2% of the whole thing.
But that rule is only for the software in general. If it's a specific distro, you can just say "<name of distro> Linux".
so "Ubuntu Linux" is fine.
