Debian Installation

Potential audio issues when using pipewire

You may notice ALSA related audio errors in the terminal when running ./elaunch if you have upgraded to pipewire in which case it is likely that you will need the following: ln -s /bin/true /usr/bin/pulseaudio as per: https://www.x-plane.com/kb/troubleshooting-audio-issues-with-pipewire-on-linux/

Installation on 64 Bit Ubuntu 18.04

  • Download linux installer from https://www.desert-nomad.com/Download
  • Make the installer executable: chmod +x eClient-linux-i686.run
  • Run the installer which will create ATITD's install directory eClient/ next to the installer. ./eClient-linux-i686.run
  • Preload 32 bit shared libraries as currently the ATITD client is only 32 bit, only should need to do this if you are running a 64 bit distro.
    • sudo apt install libxpm4:i386
    • sudo apt install libpulsedsp:i386
    • sudo apt-get install libxcursor1:i386
  • Install the oss audio daemon so sound will work
    • sudo apt install osspd
  • Finally inside eClient run ATITD with the oss flag so audio works
  • ./elaunch -oss


  • I had to load a few more files before I could run elaunch...
    • sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
    • sudo apt-get install libGL.so.1:i386
