Game won't start

[Garenthol]

Hi all,

I have played PS quite a lot on my laptop before on Ubuntu 6.10 and never really had problems (except performance problems).
I decided to buy a new PC (dual core Opteron 1.8 Ghz with 2048 MiB RAM and a 19" widescreen) to be able to play PS with "some what" higher specs.
After installing PS, updating PS and installing the newest Nvidia drivers (Nvidia 6 series on board) it is impossible to start the game.
If I try to start the game I get the feedback "loading application:" but after about 20 seconds it just stops loading and does nothing.
I have tried to look in the logs directory (empty) or for some other log to find out what the error is, but I cannot find where (or what) the error is.

Anybody have any ideas to solve this problem?
Thanks ahead!

[SOLVED] *EDIT* I do not know what exactly happened, but after running fixlibs.sh (which updated nothing as far as I can see) PS starts without a hitch.

[UNSOLVED]*EDIT2* PS started without a problem, but as soon as I tried binding a command (casting a spell) PS crashed and now I have the same problem again.
As soon as I try to run PS it just says loading and after 20 seconds it stops loading and does nothing.

what is the output if you run ps in console?

Ok, what now?
For some strange reason I am all of a sudden missing one lib, and doing a lib update is (temporarily) impossible.
Just wait for the Libfix and then (try to) run PS again?

I'd try chmoding the directory so you have write access.  It appears regualr user can't overwrite the libs.


as root;

Code: [Select]

chmod -R 777 /path/to/planeshift/directory
