Is it possible to get Towns to load on GNU/Linux so that I can walk around people's homes?
Summary: Has anyone here been able to get Towns to work? wink

I manage to load the towns but it takes ages.
Plus I can't see the text in towns. For example when I'm chatting the bubble are empty. I don't know where it comes from but I didn't manage to solve the prioblem yet

In fact I was wrong. It's not in the chat bubble that I can't see the text (exept the bubble of the robot) but it's when i type in hte edit line to chat. I can't see what I'm typing witch is anoying and I can't see the text next to the sun (or moon if it is night in gaia towns)

I got it to work on Edubuntu through Firefox, because firefox installed the flash plugin automatically. Don't know much else besides that.

Adobe/Macromedia (They merged) have released Flash 7 for linux. 8.0 however isn't ever going to be released - Adobe's stated the next version will be 8.5.
If you're running a 64 bit version of linux, however, you will not be able to install flash into it easily. Your alternatives are using a 32-bit compiled browser, or, a 64 bit version of Konqueror which can load 32 bit plugins.
Anything that requires flash 8, however, it is unlikely you'll get it working properly under linux till flash 8.5 comes out - and I've been waiting for 18 months for that damn thing :-/

Damn. any idea WHY they aren't releasing 8 for us?
edit- also, after reading the wine thread...do y'all think it's possible that one could run flash 8 under wine somehow? only really a vague idea, as i have no idea what does and doesn't work under wine...

Yes. There's a version of wine called Crossover-Plugin, and it's sold by a company called Codeweavers. It installs as a browser plugin and lets you run other browser plugins (such as Flash) into a linux browser.
Unfortunatly, I do believe that version of wine is one of the non-free versions, but I've used it before and it works well.

Towns works perfectly for me. Iam running Ubuntu. You just need to install all the flash plugins(and the non-free plugins...)
I do agree that it is kind of buggy. Since town seems to get stuck with me, but then again, it could be my 64 kbps internet...

I have towns working just fine on my fadora core PC. Everything seems to work, I can chat, earn gold etc. The only down side is it get lagy at times so I dont enter heavily populated areas.

I'm not sure, but that not being able to see text in town thing might be because you don't have the right fonts.
I had that same problem whenever I rightclicked a flash movie and went to properties or settings or something. All of the bubbles and menus had no text. I installed some proprietary fonts package and it displays just fine now.

I haven't tried it yet but someone told me Wine can install Firefox and then you can put the newest flash plugin on it. They recommended version .9.2 of Wine for some reason.
