Edit: Added the TechnoBox 2 mod to the pet.

I have had this floating around for a while, I can no longer find it on the net, the home page no longer exists, maybe someone will find it of use.

In the config menu set the browser to your PDF viewer, there is a comprehensive how to use it.

Hi,

Thanks to share this version.

Rebirth version by Propellerhead is more beautifull i think but the linux version works as well as Windows. I use it with Wine.

Left=Linux, Right = Wine(dows)

Yes I have rebirth running in wine also, it's a pity that the mods file aren't compatible with reborn to change the look, though the song rbs files work.

I found these reborn files http://www.ossh.com/reborn/

I added the TechnoBox 2 mod that I found in those files from my previous post, looks a lot nicer

Hi Geoffrey, seems to crash with errors:

Also cannot open audio devices dev/dsp when hitting play which crashes the whole gui of the app.

I'm guessing your running it from cli with the reborn command, I have those libraries in "\usr\local\share\reborn" which are loaded by the script named Reborn

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
dirname="$(dirname "$(readlink -e "$0")")"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/share/reborn
"$dirname"/reborn"$@"
# 2> /dev/null
It should run fine from the menu or use "Reborn" in the terminal.

No it's crashing. Cli was attempt to get it running.
You running it on newer pups? Bionic Stretch Artful etc?

I have it running on Bionic32, Stretch and Lucid 5.2.8 without any problems.

I can try it on another pup if you tell which one you're using.

I had some audio applications running in the background that must have hogged the bus or something. Once I ran reborn on its own, it worked fine.
There's some stuff over at peff.com, songs and tips etc. Thanks Geoffrey.

Hi,

Can you help me, I'm trying to make it work with Bionicpup64 ?

Code: Select all

root# reborn
reborn: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Thanks

I tried Reborn in Bionicpup64 8.0 that is fully updated. Have the 32bit compatibility sfs loaded.

Runs OK starting from menu->Multimedia->Reborn

I did search for libgtk-1.2.so.0
Found it in /usr/local/share/reborn directory
So, the pet must have installed it.

Maybe you got a bad download or install :idea:

Yes, finally it works, but

Code: Select all

root# Reborn

Cannot open config! Creating a new one
open_audio_device(): Cannot open /dev/dsp
Any idea ?

/dev/dsp is no longer present in Ubuntu (deprecated).
Try

Code: Select all

modprobe snd-pcm-oss
That worked for me.

There is a script used to run Reborn from the menu.
which are loaded by the script named Reborn
Stop trying to run it using a terminal.
