Title: text messed up on a ubuntu 7.04 install
Post by: ivan on August 28, 2007, 02:39:07 pm

i just got myself a dell 640m and wanted to get planeshift on it. it installs fine, but when i run the app (either planeshift itself, or the updater, or the config app), the text is way messed up on it.

I had the same problem and here is the solution:
Downgrade the libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx to a older version (the dapper version).
links:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libs/libgl1-mesa-dri (http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libs/libgl1-mesa-dri)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libs/libgl1-mesa-glx (http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libs/libgl1-mesa-glx)

After downloading:

Code: [Select]

sudo dpkg -i libgl1-mesa-dri_6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgl1-mesa-glx_6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3_i386.deb

Hope this works

Open up the file Planeshift3D/data/config/r3dopengl.cfg in a text editor, and find this line:
Video.OpenGL.FontCache.UseMultiTexturing = yes
and change yes to no.

My Kubuntu does that as well. 
On all screens text scrambled. 

What Ubuntu has different... Maybe someone can solve it. But that link above doesn't work. And the suggestion about changing YES to NO in config did that work for you?
Ubuntu lacks root by default now, yet you can run a SUDO, do you need to run that on install?
Does it have the same FONTS as others?
Is Ubuntu missing support drivers example Nvidia video in Kernel?

i didn't use sudo to install planeshift. i installed it as a regular user in my home dir. and yes, changing Video.OpenGL.FontCache.UseMultiTexturing to no helped me out. at that moment, i had only the regular ubuntu fonts installed. and i'm not using nvidia, so i can't help you out there...
