When I came to Minetest 0.4.3, I created a world under Minimal, but didn't realize about the features being low. I had the HUD, I just couldn't dig. I create a map that is Minetest mode, but I still can't dig, and there are no object signs in the HUD. Can someone please help?
PS- I run Ubuntu 12.04
FOSS gamedev and creative worlds
This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
I can't dig, and HUD isn't complete.

Edit: Try PilzAdam's solution first (next post)!
I prefer to compile the latest minetest on my Lubuntu, following the steps in the readme.txt on minetest.net, Github under Compiling on GNU/Linux (scroll down til you find it): https://github.com/celeron55/minetest
If you didn't try that already, here's an extensive explanation to do that (I don't know how much you know about minetest/Linux):
You can copy the next 11 alineas, one by one and paste them in your Terminal (under Accessoires, gives you a medium sized black screen) followed by an enter after each alinea. (the first alinea is 1 line, although it looks like 2, to get your libraries).
NB!! it is possible that the second link isn't copied and paste right because of it's length. Here is the complete text, where I leave https out to prevent the forming of a new shortened link in this post. You should have the whole line, https included, in your terminal --> ://github.com/celeron55/minetest_game/tarball/master :
sudo apt-get install build-essential libirrlicht-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg8-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev
wget https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz
tar xf master.tar.gz
cd celeron55-minetest-25cf375
cd games/
wget https://github.com/celeron55/minetest_game/tarball/master -O master.tar.gz
tar xf master.tar.gz
mv celeron55-minetest_game-* minetest_game
cd ..
cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1
make -j2
Now you can type exit in your terminal and go to your home folder, where there should be a directory like this:
/home/Tacos4Ever23/celeron55-minetest-25cf375
Doubleclick bin, and then minetest and choose singleplayer, new
I hope it works or that else others can help you better!

Try to hold down the left mouse button to dig a block. It wil appear in your inventory and you can place it by selecting it with the mouse wheel and click the right mouse button.
