Greetings

I've downloaded the tar file for Wasteland classic, extracted it and when I execute ./start.sh on a terminal in the directory only appears "Running Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic" inmediatly after only appears my prompt without executing DOSbox.

Thanks.

Try launching the game in a console directly from the binary:
"Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic/game/wasteland"

If it still doesn’t launch, post here the errors you get in the console.

By the way, which Linux distribution are you using?

I'm on OpenSUSE 13.2 64bit and I've installed the 32bit packages that recommends the store page in the requeriments or at least their equivalents.

Here are the captures and it shows no errors o.O

Thanks

That’s definitely strange. I won’t be able to help you further right now, but I’ll have access to my gaming machine tomorrow to try to find out what could possibly going wrong.
Meanwhile, you should be able to run the game without the inXile’s enhancements via your distro-provided DOSBox by mounting 'Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic/game/rom/' as the 'c:' drive and running 'WL.EXE' from it.

Idea!
Try renaming the 'Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic/lib' directory, maybe one game-provided library is conflicting with another distro-provided library.

Did anyone find a solution to this?

I have a similiar problem with Kubuntu 20.04 and Wasteland 2.0.0.3 (the latest version). If I launch the game from the application menu it appears briefly in the task bar, then disappears and nothing happens. If I run it from the Terminal I get a File Not Found error for the Wasteland executable (I think it's pointing to a Wasteland.sh nested somewhere among the application files), and something related to exc_var?

I've tried re-installing several times.

Going to download the Wasteland Linux installer and see how it runs on a Arch Linux system and then maybe also a Linux Mint system

You are probably missing the 32-bit ld.so (usually /lib32/ld-linux.so.2, I guess). Try running ldd on the wasteland executable and see if it works.

I wasn't going to reply to you, hoping somebody with the same distro as yours would reply instead, but since it's been a while and nobody bit, I guess this might help, even though I cannot tell you how to get 32-bit support working on your machine.

In any case, I don't think your problem is the same as OP's.

Alright, I downloaded and installed gog_wasteland_1_the_original_classic_2.0.0.3.sh to my Arch Linux machine using the default directory choice and Wasteland 1 ran without any errors.

Took a look at the start.sh script that gets installed with the GOG Wasteland 1 linux installer. and the start.sh file that you're having issues with simply burrows down to a subdirectory in the Install path called "game" and to executes the custom program Inxile built that merges graphical updates + embedded journals/voiceover versions of journals to the basic Wasteland 1 game.
