Based on your input I should add more GPUs to the issue. I need more information, though. Could everyone with issues on Ubuntu add their precise GPU model, whether you are using open-source or binary driver and your compressed Player.log please?

Here is info regarding my "Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) 64-bit (linux 3.2.0-55-generic), with Gnome 3.4.2, GPU: Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics" laptop. The ZIP-file has information extracted with commands "glxinfo" and "lshw -C display" plus Player.log -file.

I signed up to the forums a while ago but couldn't activate the account through Google Chrome, I had to use Firefox instead..
Anyone else had this or similar issues?

Or is it just me?

I had no problems with Chrome running on Linux. Just clicked the URL I got via email and it was done.

I get the message that "some stuff from your ship has landed".
So I get food, metal, and Drop Pods.

As far as I know, "drop pods" are what the other stuff are delivered with. Meaning, a "space pod" has food in it and they are dropped to the planet surface. Hence the name.

Actually, my work laptop is HP 620, which has a "Intel GMA X4500 HD" graphics chip, which I could give a try.

Specs:
Celeron(R) Dual-Core CPU T3000 @ 1.80GHz × 2
Memory 4 GB

Same glitch with machine above and RimWorld254Linux.x86_64

I had the same problem.

• What's your experience with testing systems?
I've tested some Android mods for the devs, but not much really.

• Ever used a bug tracker before? Does the Ludeon bugtracker look foreign to you or familiar?
It doesn't load, I get 404 right now from ludeon.com/bugs
I've done Ubuntu translations through Launchpad, submitted some bug here and there, so I imagine it wont be a problem.

• What OSes do you have?
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on several computers, Win7 on a desktop, EasyPeasy on a EeePC 901 and bunch of even older linuxes on even older laptops.
I don't have top tier hardware, just FYI.

• How much time do you have to test?
Can't really say for sure.
I'm a single dad, so it can be anything from 1-2 hours a week to a full weekend (if I feel up to it, that is).

I have the exact same problem on my Dell Vostro 3300
*snip*
As far as I know my graphics are also "Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics".

Your laptop has "NVIDIA GeForce 310M" graphics chip (according to this PCWorld article).

I think this is just a problem about the version of your ubuntu.

Any other Ubuntu LTS users, who chould chime in with their hardware?

Actually, my work laptop is HP 620, which has a "Intel GMA X4500 HD" graphics chip, which I could give a try.

Specs for that:
Celeron(R) Dual-Core CPU T3000 @ 1.80GHz × 2
Memory 4 GB

I managed to start a game, but it has such a band graphics glitch that I felt sick quite soon.

In the attachement you see what happens, but not that it also moves a lot, all lines start from the middle and the segments move around the screen erratically.

My laptop is old HP Compaq 6910p:
Intel® Coreâ,,¢2 Duo CPU T7100 @ 1.80GHz × 2
Memory 2 GB

I run Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) 64-bit (linux 3.2.0-55-generic), with Gnome 3.4.2, but I suspect the reason might be "Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics".

Let me know what other info you might need.

Found a post by Bering (see thread here), which solved my problems.

I did however delete the old files, unzip them again, set the executable bit and then wrote the script.

*snip*
So, in other words, instead of double-clicking on RimWorld250Linux.x86_64, do this:

1- create an empty file
2- write these 2 lines to it, using any text editor:

#!/bin/bash
LC_ALL=C ./RimWorld250Linux.x86_64

3- right-click the new file and set its permissions to executable
4- double-click that new file to run the game

Thanks Bering, solved my problem with this!
But my game wouldn't even start.

[I've set the executable bit]

EDIT: HerpDerp! The files are not executable when they're unzipped. You have to give the OS permission to execute them. You can either use the chmod <xxx> command from a terminal or right click on the icon and go to permissions and set it to executable.

I've set the executable bit, launching from GUI does nothing and launching from command line produces some errors.

So, you got them to run like that?
Because, and I quoted myself to clarify, that did not help me. It's possible that I need to download them again, since I just downloaded all packages, threw them into DropBox for later use. Wouldn't be the first time something broke when transferring via DropBox.

Hello, first time poster here.

Just downloaded the linux version of the game, which is my main OS (for gaming I mainly use PS3, I do have a crappy Win7 box) and on which I'm not a total newbie. However, I did not manage to get the game running.  I've got an oldish HP laptop, running Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) 64-bit.

I've set the executable bit, launching from GUI does nothing and launching from command line produces some errors.

Ideas?
