G'day
I'm having trouble installing Neverball. Initially I installed it via the packages.debian.org repo, and all it would do was segfault.
I tried the repos listed in wiki.eeeuser.com, but I get the same results. I've read on the forums here that other people are running it, but I haven't found any mention of how they went about installing it or any problems they had.
Am I missing something?

I've just done sudo apt-get install neverball, and it's installed fine - just tested it. The two packages in question are:
http://xnv4.xandros.com etch/main neverdata 1.4.0-1 [14.4MB]
http://xnv4.xandros.com etch/main neverball 1.4.0-1 [181kB]

Ah, k
I'd uninstalled and reinstalled neverball, but not neverdata. I'll give that a go when I get home.
Thanks

I installed it from debian stable and it worked fine also, aside from the fact that I had to change the resolution / fullscreen mode so I could see the bottom of the screen, and the music was staticky.
I dunno what to tell you... I think you need to give us more information. Do
sudo dpkg -l | grep -i never
And copy the results into a reply. Also output the results from the text console when you do neverball &
EDIT: if you use apt-get, it should automatically install neverdata as a dependent package. If you use dpkg, I would think it should likewise refuse to install neverball without neverdata unless you use the force flag. So I wonder if that could really be your issue (the sudo dpkg -l command above would tell you).

Output to console is "Segmentation fault" and that's it.
I used apt-get to install neverball originally and it installed the neverdata package automatically.
I was hoping to avoid compiling it from source since the eeepc didn't seem to come with the gcc.
I'll have another crack at it when I get home this afternoon.

You'll need to install the build-essential pack if you want to compile from source.

Thanks. I'd still rather get it happening from binary packages if I can (there's not a huge amount of space to spare at the moment).
Just having a quick read through the games list on the wiki, I notice that xmoto (which uses a lot of the same libraries) segfaults unless you set the resolution. I'll have a go at that as well when I get home.

Reinstalling neverdata and neverball from xnv4.xandros.com seemed to sort me out.
Thanks guys.

This is the way I used:
After installing Neverball with "apt-get install neverball" from a Debian-Source (for me ftp://ftp.de.debian.org) start the program. An Error will come up in your Console. That's ok! Now go to your HOME and look into the directory ".neverball". Edit the file "neverballrc" and change the following lines...
fullscreen 1
width 800
height 480
stereo 0
camera 0
textures 1
geometry 1
reflection 0
background 1
shadow 1
audio_rate 22050
audio_buff 8192
This would work fine on the Eee-PC. You can even play in a window (fullscreen 0).
BTW: Setting the audio_buff up to 8192 will enhance the music quality, but you have to set up the sound volume to 100% (in game). The voice and effects sound are cracking (can't fix this).
You have to restart you Eee-PC before you can play Neverball!
You should even enter Neverball into your menu using the "menu editor".
Hint: Never use the "reflection" options, because this will slowdown your Eee-PC. If you like to use "reflection" you had to use low "textures" and low "geometry".
