Linux support about lucaschess

[lukasmonk]

lucaschess_11 has more support to Linux.
https://github.com/lukasmonk/lucaschess_11

[DavidParkin]

I can't get it to work on native Linux. The play against engine of choice starts, accepts my move but never responds. After this the interface widgets do not always work.

[lukasmonk]

Test chmod to 777 to all folders below Engines folder.

[DavidParkin]

All file and folders below Engines set to perm 777 - still does not work.

[lukasmonk]

Sorry, I always forget that the support of Linux is in the new version (in development) https://github.com/lukasmonk/lucaschess_11.

[DavidParkin]

Sorry, I should have said that I am using version 11.

Does this help?

I have perhaps fixed this for Linux .
Invalid parameter meant it never executed the chess engine file not found
In EngineThread.py line 59 changed
self.args = [os.path.basename(self.exe), ]
to
self.args = self.exe

[lukasmonk]

Found lucaschess in AUR, installed it.
Seems quite laggy.
Less configurations.
What is this?(i am using i3wm)

Is right clicking and dragging to create arrows not available?

[lukasmonk]

This is Challenge 101, 10 positions, only one move is valid, you move.... play if you want

You must press F1/../F10 then create your own arrows, blocks, ...... (if you don´t have arrows: right button on F1 box, Edit, Arrows, then create one arrow, right button on F1 box again, Arrows, select the arrow created) with left button.....

[aasutossh]

I meant at the rightmost of screen. Quite many blinking happening in about everything. I like the tactics training. How many tactics are there?

[lukasmonk]

Program only controls left part.

To train tactics there are some options, the presentation:challenge 101, Training positions, Mates, Training tactics by repetition, Turn on lights, ....

[aasutossh]

Can you disable right click to show game comments?? and enable arrows on right click and drag?
Also I am having same problem as @zagabra. How do I fix it?
edit: also I checked /opt/lucaschess/Code/GestorMate.py and in line 451 it is if jg.siJaque:.

@TheDumbKnight
i have installed exe version 11.03 and its perfect

[aasutossh]

@zagabra using winE??

[zagabra]

yes, work perfectly with wine from repository or also lastest stable from their website (i try both)

[aasutossh]

Let me try the exe version, be right back.

1. Lucas Chess runs natively under Linux - see #51 . May be the installation process should become more polished...

2. Yes, at least the portable windows version 11.04a runs perfectly using current wine version.
