Title: ubuntu 8
Post by: Bazza1 on April 27, 2008, 06:39:31 AM
 :mad:
I  have just upgraded to Ubuntu 8. Worked fine before the upgrade.
Now I cannot open the game. It just flashes across the screen and shuts down.
Anyone else having this problem.???
I dont want to revert back to windows if I can help it.

Works fine for me, I did a fresh install of Hardy Heron, rather than the upgrade. Upgrades tend to leave problems after their installation.

Try starting from a terminal and see what it ways. (openGL, openAL, curl, other)

Is it 0.7.1 or 0.7.6?

it sounds like either a missing library (probably libsdl or something) or broken video drivers to me. running from the terminal and posting the output here as sago007 said would help us find out which.

Fresh install of Hardy works fine for me too. Don't go back.
