I asked on KGS, and apparently KGS doesn't play nicely with the Linux OpenJRE. So had I had to download the Oracle JRE and install that. Fun, fun, fun. (I've ended up with an archive file where there should be the folder usr/local/java, and there doesn't seem to be any way to delete it.) After a good hour of work, I finally got things to load properly and was able to play a free game against MFoG without Cgoban crashing.

Now if I just knew how to make a script that runs the appropriate terminal command to open cgoban.jar the way a Windows shortcut works.... :)

Hi Fedya,

You should be able to obtain this result as follows:
1. Create a text file named KGS.sh (or whatever you want)
2. On the first line, write #!/bin/sh
3. Enter the list of commands to be executed, one per line. (in your case it should be only one)
4. In a terminal, enter the command "chmod +x KGS.sh" to make the file executable.

Normally, double-clicking on the file should execute it or open a menu with an option to execute it.

So has anybody been able to get Cgoban to work with Linux?

I downloaded the cgoban.jar file, and when I typed the java -jar cgoban.jar into the terminal, I got "Unable to access jarfile cgoban.jar".

I'm new to Linux, so I have no idea what to do next. It would be easier just to have a nice clickable shortcut....


The problem is that Linux really describes many many operating systems that run the Linux kernel. It's very hard to make and support an installer for all of them.


Actually, it's not that bad at all.

Here's an installer I wrote that supports the Debian family, the Redhat family, and the Arch family of Linuxes. That covers most of what most people refer to as "Linux", though it probably doesn't do Android or ChromeOS:
