Server Status / Re: Server Offline

It costs something like 80 us dollars to buy a single copy of Spinrite, a tool I have used for years to fix hard drive issues.
Unlike peter norton and others that sold out to symantec and microsoft, this tool has fixed machines ten times its worth.
And Steve Gibson though not offering "free trial" etc on his flagship product offers tons of free utilities on his website to compensate.
So we should get the Singapore techs to say have you tried spinrite?
i will send 2 usd to PS if others will to use Spinrite on our server.

I've had those problems since I started a couple weeks ago. Especially barely visible bars in sewer, and lots of blue or transparent boxes above. Running nvidea n6200 by asus with 9755 driver. Using PCLOS TR3 for linux.

Linux Specific Issues / Re: can't get game running on PCLOS installed with synaptic

Thanks bilbous,
The repository has the latest planeshift distro, besides all the latest dependancies.
I believe most everyone soon installs to HD soon after trying the live cd. It is the fastest and most stable OS I ever used, and would have installed it earlier if I hadn't been distracted by running Vista beta.
Late last night, one of the PCLOS support team confirmed my problem on his machine and are looking into it. The site is down due to a database overload caused by the sudden popularity.

The reason I like PCLOS is because of the synaptic system, which has been flawless except in the games I wanted to try.
If I get a chance, I'll try a manual install of planeshift with a usb HD and a sacrificial copy of PCLOS.
All our programs on the repository are pre-screened to work with PCLOS, and I don't want to cause problems in the future with manual installs.

Linux Specific Issues / can't get game running on PCLOS installed with synaptic

Hello I have tried some time searching and googling, but I cant get the game running.
In a terminal window, I type planeshift-setup and setup appears ok. made different changes, resolution etc, and set back to the defaults after unable to launch from setup window. Same if I try to launch from the terminal.
ERROR: in the terminal window I get this when trying to launch:
Could not find file: /paws/temp_skin/skin.xml
/usr/games//planeshift-setup: Line 14: 3791 segmentation fault ./pssetup

1. I completely removed and reinstalled via synaptic.
2. I did not do updates after re-installing as I read not to use the updater for now.
3. My 3d graphics with my Beryl 3D desktop works fine.
4 I shut off Beryl with no help.
5. I have 64M DDR on card, and card has up to 256M with system memory.
6. Runnung PCLinuxOS TR3 with everthing up to date.
7. Looks like synaptic loaded all the required crystal dependancies etc.
Thanks...
