Where are the Osmos install and user directories located under Linux?
The Linux version of Osmos will sometimes freeze randomly. Regarding the ‘random freeze’ bug in the Linux version: it looks like there’s a known issue in the Linux kernel where frequent gettimeofday/clock_gettime system calls can cause a freeze, depending on how the TSC-read is implemented. Unfortunately there isn’t much to be done about it at the application level. I’m having trouble with sound in the Linux version of Osmos. In the Linux world, audio is a tricky beast. Osmos uses OpenAL for sound, which wraps many of the underlying implementations (ALSA, OSS, PulseAudio, etc) but is still not without hitches. For example, many distros specify ALSA as the default OpenAL device, but at the same time have buggy drivers, drivers that block on open when another app has the device opened, etc. To this end, Osmos prefers by default to first attempt to use OSS if it exists, and if not, then OpenAL-default device is used. You can manually specify which OpenAL device to use by editing the Osmos

You can manually specify which OpenAL device to use by editing the Osmos config-file (located at ~/.Osmos/Config.cfg) and changing the soundDevice argument to the index of the device to use, as listed in your Osmos log file (~/.Osmos/Osmos.log). Note that unlike the PC and Mac versions of Osmos
