Mepis 8.0 client starting problem

[Paavo]

EDIT: Well this is embarrassing. I found a topic which told me to run the program from the command line. It works, quite well too, but the command line keeps sending those "image not found" errors. Normal or fixable?

Hello.

I am using HP Pavilion Entertainment PC laptop with Mepis 8.0. I have every single driver, plugins, etc. installed correctly. Just for you to know.  

When I run the launcher, it starts normally. Everything is fine. However, when I press "Play", nothing happens. It just shuts down.
It gives me the following errorlog:

Repair-function told that everything should be fine, but still, this seems to be some kind of file-missing problem?
Suggestions are welcomed.

By the way, I have toyed with blender for a half year now, and it would be interesting to try help you building the game some day (not in a while, probably).

Those errors are pretty standard and do not prevent the client from running. Something you could try is running the program from the command line in a terminal That ought to give you more significant messages, if you run with the -- verbose parameter you will get even more information.

planeshift --verbose

another thing you might try is to run the client directly

/path/to/PlaneShift/psclient
that also will take --verbose.

Did you install system wide (as root) or in a user directory? A system wide install defaults to /opt/PlaneShift whereas a user install will likely be in the PlaneShift directory in the users home directory.

the launcher where you set the options and generally call the game is called pslaunch and is in the same directory as psclient. One thing you should know is that the launcher often crashes after setting options.
