I installed ProjectM via the Ubuntu Software portal, and after launching, the icon sits on the doc, highlights a few times, and then closes.
Trying it in the terminal generates this:
dir:/usr/share/projectM/config.inp
reading ~/.projectM/config.inp
[projectM] config file: /home/jason/.projectM/config.inp
No Textures Loaded from "/usr"/share/projectM/textures
Could not open font file: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
Is that "/usr" section indicating a typo in the config file maybe?
Did the font not get autoinstalled with the projectM package? Maybe an apt-update / apt-upgrade can fix it. I'll work on it myself but also thought I'd ask here.
Just install
ttf-dejavu
:Based on the font-related error message, I changed the config.inp file from this:
to this:
ProjectM opens correctly for me now!
I have the same problem. I managed to 'fix' the font error by going to the /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ folder and renaming the 'dejavu' folder as 'ttf-dejavu'. Now ProjectM opens but the textures are still not opening.
