Found a thread where they told a guy to disable compiz by using "metacity --replace" and went for another go, but with no change.

Had this issue, resolved it by upgrading everything related to graphics to their git versions. However, with ubuntu, I'm not sure how (or if it's possible) to do it with apt (I use arch, and therefore pacman). You'd have to ask someone more knowledgeable on Ubuntu for help with that.
When asked for hardware, chipset would have been nice, but assuming you're using the 945GM like me (or card name GMA950), then the issue is resolvable by upgrading mesa, intel-dri, xf86-video-intel, dri2proto, and the various dependencies for the above all to their git versions. You don't need the git version of xorg, but you'll need the newest released one (which I don't believe is the one Ubuntu ships with).
Finally, there was still problem running my compiled client after all of that, so I had to install in wine, and it worked fine there.
Enjoy



Hi,
as i had a lot of these random client crashes since 0.4.03, i tried to run the windows version of planeshift using wine on top of linux. and it worked! Here are the step by step instructions on how to install it:
If you already have wine installed, you can skip the steps 1-3.
1. Install the latest stable version of WINE using your distro's package manager
2. Install the package cabextract
3. Run WINE's configuration utility 'winecfg', it will create the directory ~/.wine/
4. Go into this directory and execute 'wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks'
5. Run the command 'sh winetricks vcrun6 vcrun2005 corefonts'. I'm not sure if you need a license of Windows to do this legally! I'm neither sure what exactly the winetricks script does; i didn't write it
6. Download and install the Windows version of PlaneShift into wine. To run the installer type 'wine name_of_the_installer.exe' in the directory where you downloaded it.
7. Run your new PlaneShift client: Go to '~./wine/drive_c/Programs/PlaneShift' (or however these directories are called on your PC) and execute 'wine psclient.exe'
You can even symlink your ~/.PlaneShift directory to the Windows version's PlaneShift directory to use the same settings and logs with both clients.
The WINE client runs stable for me, Thob from my guild uses it too. However, we both have a completely transparent GUI under wine. That means, you can't see any window backgrounds and buttons without text. But it doesn't crash
I don't know if that works for everyone, try it ON YOUR OWN RISK!
