)I installed Spring on Ubuntu Jaunty, and it worked without any major problems. I upgraded to Karmic, and suddenly the game wouldn't start from the Lobby over half the time; no error messages or anything, just nothing. Pushing the button several times would start it, but afterwards there would still be a "spring" process running that I would have to kill in the system monitor in order to start another game.
I thought it might be because it was originally installed in Jaunty, so I removed the pacakages and deleted the .spring and .springlobby directories in my home directory, and then reinstalled. Got the same problem, except I get an error message saying the game has crashed. Again, it will still launch sometimes, but there is still a process running that I have to kill (killing it gives me the same error message).
Also, this happened in single player. Haven't tried multi yet.
Is this a problem with Spring or with Karmic? Should I post the infolog file?
And for more fun, units in-game often have white boxes appear above them, and the idle builders widget doesn't work. Almost makes me want to find my OTA disc
