For ATI (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI) / nVidia (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia) graphics cards you need to install proprietary drivers first. Not sure if that's the problem, but if you have an ATI or nVidia card and haven't already installed a different driver you'll need to do it anyway, so go click the respective link.

Just to throw the two Tria worth :)
When you run it on Umbuntu 11.10 is current version and Using Unity (default) on a stock system, the OpenGL isn't compatible with Planeshift like Derula said, you have to add the proprietary drivers.
[Dash] Addi (should bring up "Additional Drivers") install or "activate" the drivers that its asking for. Onces thats in your video card should be good to go.
* If you have ATI/AMD that uses the FGLRX driver, just remember if you run that one (Post release-updates doesnt work). And you want to run the Gnome 3.2 desktop they aren't compatible. If you have a different card like an NVIDIA one it should grab it and your good to go. You will have to reboot once the new driver is activated.
Ignore the "Joystick" part.
If you find it works but sometimes crashes a lot, Log out, and login to Unity 2D, it seems to run more stable there. For some reason Unity "3d" doesn't like musical interments (the editor) very much.
