Error with laucher screen = plugins missin'?

[Zrael]

Hello everybody!

I installed the PS in Ubuntu Linux 10.04, and it went all the way with no errors. At the first login, it updated itself very well too, but I have 3 problems now:

1. The window don't fit my monitor. Ok, I searched around the forum and found some tips, but my monitor res. is fine, I can see all very well, and the res. is the better that my videoboard supports. So, my Ubuntu is OK, but I can't find any "options" menu to configure the window size in the launcher.

And that's the problem 2:

The launcher is almost empty!

I can see the scroll-thing with the news, but the rest is totally black. There's no buttons to click, and I can't see if the buttons are at the part I can't see coz is out the window. There's a screenshot:



And so I went to my terminal and saw what warnings it give to me:

So, what's up? How can I load that missin' plugin, and how can I fit my window and fade that black-window away?

Thanks!

It's a bit a shot out of the blue, but when you look at your pslaunch.cfg file, what screen resolution is set ?  I have Video.ScreenWidth = 1024 and Video.ScreenHeight = 768. Maybe you can change these values manually to fit your screen. About the plugins, I get the same error, but that doesn't seem to be a problem. If the setup thing does not work, you could also start the game with ./psclient.

Thanks a lot, I had the same configuration here, but I manually changed it to a better size (I have a widescreen monitor, so the height is cut off by it). But now a new problem arrived:

I started, put my login & password and then I started to create my char. But, in the middle of the process, the game crashed. I opened it again, but for some thing the damn launcher closes and open again when I hit the play button. I unistalled the game and installed it again (i made sure that I removed all the configs files), but the problem continues. I looked at the terminal and I saw a new thing:

crystalspace.pluginmgr.loadplugin:

And coz of that I can't play. I tried to change again the configs, to reinstall everything, to pray, but not solved.

Now what?

[RlyDontKnow]

try disabling fullscreen or make sure the resolution you're using is actually supported by X

Have you tried to load psclient directly without using pslaunch? My client always crashes while starting from pslaunch so it can be same problem.

[Zrael]

Fist of all, thanks a lot for all the help!

I solved my problem!

Fist, I downloaded and installed the crystalspace. Where I installed it, I do not know, bu it installed well, and I don't know if that has something with the solution.
Then, I unistalled completely the PS. I deleted even the configs files and images, all clean. So, I installed it again. I opened the launcher and it upgraded the game.
So, I hit the play button (it took me a lot of effort, 'coz it was barely visible on my screen). The client opened ok, and I closed it.
Then I went to the config file of the client and manually changed the window sizes. The launcher I left the way it was. I started the launcher again, hit the play and the client opened just fine and in a very friendly size. I made my char and the tutorial, and now I'm in game!

So, thank you for all your help and see you in the game!

... see you in the game!
