Bongartist Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Just bought one of these bad boys as I can never get on one of the desktops… As of yet I've found only a few things I can do on it... I've spoken to Admiral about it and he's confident I could run 3.0 on it? Is this the case? Of course the server would be set up on another computer, I mean Client Only.

Homicidal Monkey Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 you need OpenGL 1.0 support minimum. OpenGL 1.5 or 2 support would be optimal. You also need Java JRE1.6 or newer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Does it have an ARM or an Intel processor? Because some of the netbooks I've seen uses an ARM processor, mine has an Intel N270 atom though.In case of an ARM processor: your computer is able to run EE 3.0 but not any older versions.In case of an Intel processor: your computer is able to run EE 3.0 and older versions on Windows (if you can get that installed XD, most netbooks don't have an optical drive).You'll need at least version 1.6 of the Java Runtime Environment and mainly any version of OpenGL will do.Regards, Godlord.

Bongartist Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 The weird thing: I'm running Linpus Linux w/ intel processor and I've got Java 1.6 installed… But, I couldn't see it when you put that thing up earlier... And I can't run 2.7 o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can't run 2.7 o.OEE 2.7 only really works on Windows. The Java thing got removed though, that's why you don't see it.Regards, Godlord.

Godlord Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 @Bongartist:> I never saw it when he put it up, just a blank white square…Now there's completely nothing, he removed it. If it didn't work you would see the square, otherwise you would see the applet. Look for the model viewer in public development and try and see if it works.Regards, Godlord.

I don't get it I got all the right specs... I guess the main problem is... I'm not by nature a Linux user. On a Windows OS I'd have no trouble at all... It's just this bloody thing.Doesn't the fact I can't see it point to a flaw in my current version of Java? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that relevant in some way?Never heard of it. Well it is for a part, each distribution's roots are different. Debian uses DEB packages for instance, RedHat uses RPM packages.I guess it's using Fedora.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongartist Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Downloading and installing Ubunto and Java 6\. That should cover it, right?Btw, thanks for this guys, I greatly appreciate the shared wisdom.Oh, and sorry for capitalizing peoples time, I really don't mean to.I'll let you know how it goes. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
