    Um, have you tried the Linux version? Considering all of the other versions are ports of the Linux one, I don't see why it shouldn't work, then again I have absolutely no clue about Linux whatsoever.
    ADOM Guides - whatever you wanted to know about playing a certain class, but have been afraid to ask!

    Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

    Linux version works fine - just download it and run it! I haven't figured out how to get Sage working in Linux yet though...

    You need to enable hidden files/folders. In your home directory there will be a fodler called .adom.data which contains the irksome .adom.prc. Delete it and your troubles will be eased.

    i tried that, i still cant see the folders (or files)

    i also tried reisntalling the game, i removed the folder and reinstalled to different folder and the problem remains, i cant figure out what's wrong.
    i got it working for a while (before the proplem occured) and after reinstalling i managet to see a flash of start up screen

    Its because its a hidden folder (a.k.a nsfw ) hit ctrl + h to see them.
    I never won a Adom game...

    I'm assuming you're desktop environment is Gnome since you're on Ubuntu: why not just use Nautilus to search for the file?

    I've never used linux before... but do you have to see a file to delete it?
    Couldn't you just type in "del c:\adom\adom_dat\adom.prc", or some such command?
    "Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."
