Yep, mono/etc is there. it's not saying file not found or something... but when I do mono ./KSP.exe it says "File does not contain a valid CIL image." I've done the ldd KSP.x86 thing and nothing's coming up as missing either... I'm at the end of my already-extrapolated-upon knowledge base.

Ok, so progress. I installed the 32 bit dodads. Apparently I didn't have those installed. Which is weird. Since the game ran before all my updates. Maybe Ubuntu deletes stuff on update? *shrugs* also, apparently it was just a matter of tracking down the RIGHT package, which took for-freaking-ever to install - several hundred MB. eek. NOW... I run either of the binaries and I wind up with this: ./KSP.x86 *kaboom things happen* Set current directory to /home/rion/Desktop/KSP_linux Found path: /home/rion/Desktop/KSP_linux/KSP.x86 Mono path[0] = '/home/rion/Desktop/KSP_linux/KSP_Data/Managed' Mono path[1] = '/[same as above]/Mono' Mono config path = '[same as above]/Mono/etc' Aborted (core dumped) I think I remember seeing *this* error somewhere else in this thread... crap.

Unfortunately, nothing is my nonexistent KSP.log that hasn't been written by the first run of the fresh install yet. I'm getting these weird libxcursor and libGLU errors, but when I go to install the libraries that supposedly contain those missing dodads... it's already installed. I'm actually willing to PAY someone 20 bucks to sit on screen share via skype with me for 30 minutes and figure out wtf is wrong, since I'm sure it's something Linux-related, and not really game-related... so I'll likely have issues later with something else even if I just say screw it and go to win8... Any takers? Hopefully that's not Verboten... but my only tech guy that I normally get to help me with stuff like this is a windows guy... my local linux community is limited in utility. I have tried double clicking all the files, i've set file permissions to what I posted earlier, using the GUI in Ubuntu, and I'm just kind of at a loss. Everything I know to do in Linux, I've done, and the missing bits are still missing. >.<

I think I'm going to get to work on a ring system around Kerbin. Shouldn't be too hard if the asteroid population is high enough... Keep launching fuel tanks, dock them to stations built on the asteroids, and then keep docking the asteroids together, or at least placing them in close orbits... no gravity between them... holy hell, i think, just maybe, this might make things really, really interesting.

Umm... where do I do this? I'm slightly lost. I was a DOS baby, so command line is my style, but it's been a long time since I admin'ed a POSIX system. Feel free to PM me if this isn't quite pertinent to the thread.

I just (re) built my whole system. I'll hit y'all with the specs and then what's going on. AMD 6-core processor (FX6700?) at 3.5ghz 8gb Kingston ram on 2 sticks Gigabyte "ultra durable" GA-970A-D3P motherboard with 970 chipset ATI Radeon 7770 graphics card pumping two monitors. Ubuntu, fresh install (12.04 LTS) I just updated mono-complete with the sudo apt-get install command. That did nothign to fix this problem. I booted up, launched my driver update process, and as soon as I had the AMD catalyst thing rolling and got my dual monitors set up, I double-clicked the freshly unpacked zip file and it laoded. I went in and turned down the volume, and all the menus seemed really slow to load - the graphics were FAST and CRISP, so I doubt this is a graphics issue, but it finally locked up when I went in to create a new game. I was unable to change the name from "Default" and the whole thing just locked up. I went ahead and rebooted, installed my OS updates that Ubuntu was screaming at me to update, and when I go to open up KSP, none of the executables/binaries work. KSP.exe in mono, the x86, x86_x64, nor the launchers will open. I double click, i right click and "run", nothing. I checked file permissions and made sure EVERYTHING was read/write/etc. and still nothing. Also, I'm noticing my clicking is a little weird. When I click on the gear menu up top in ubuntu on my left hand monitor, i have to click and hold for the menu to stay open (for shutdown, update, restart, log out, etc.) but on my right menu, i click it once, and it stays open until i click an option or click out of the context box. I've even tried moving the windows around between the monitors, and the click issue doesn't seem to be directly related to not being able to simply double click the icon and open the executable. Any ideas? What files should I be posting/options/etc. so someone can make a better educated guess? Did I miss this issue when I scrolled through the other 50+ pages? I'm at a loss. Hepl. Plz. Thanks in advance. Rion ##Update - the clicky flicker thing no longer occurs after another restart... I just noticed that the drop down menu does in fact stay put as expected, doesn't close automatically. Thanks again## Still playing with it... I now run/get the following: rion@WetSparkWorkstation:~/Desktop/KSP_linux$ mono KSP.exe Cannot open assembly 'KSP.exe': File does not contain a valid CIL image. Annnnnd... when I try to run the other "executables", the OS returns: rion@WetSparkWorkstation:~/Desktop/KSP_linux$ ./KSP.x86 bash: ./KSP.x86 No such file or directory And when I just type in the file name, or try to sudo it... it always comes back with command not found. Am I just being completely stupid? also, an ls -l of the desktop reveals the files exactly where they should be, and the permissions for the launchers, and all KSP.x86 variants are as follows: -rwxrwxrwx 1 rion rion [filesize] [date] KSP.* (I'm rion) Hope this helps. Me. You. Whomever. I hope I'm just being stupid and haven't fried my HD or something. I'm really kinda jumpy since this is a rebuild of a toasted system that turned into a completely new pile of hardware very quickly.

Hey, how about some solid-fuel-only missions? I've done a couple, and used RCS to just circularize or adjust an inclination at the Mun and Minmus, but a solid fuel to orbit isn't actually too difficult. It's mostly timing on the last stage, and a little bit of maneuvering during the burn. I've been wanting to do a solid-fuel-to-Duna mission, but it's really hard to aim with incremental chunks of delta-V and hit anything out that far.

Fixed it. I think. It's loading now. somehow Ubuntu dumped all my graphics drivers. Yet, at the same time, I was somehow still getting graphics in other applications. and as I type this, KSP just closed midway through loading. *Facepalm* anyhow, at least the application itself popped up.

So, apparently to the distress of Mr. Manley, I have successfully put a kerbal into orbit around Kerbin using only stock, solid boosters, and got a probe into orbit around Mun using only stock solid boosters, and the new, small inline RCS tank - needed ~100m/s to circularize and solids are too binary for that. Perhaps a ribbon for doin' a solid (Duna solid has a nice ring to it?) anyhow, maybe a solid booster ornament. *shrugs* Yeah, I'm going to try and go to Duna or maybe even Jool on just solids and a bit of RCS. I doubt I can get intoa circular orbit anywhere with solids past the Mun, but landing on a solid body is mostly a problem of aiming and aerobraking, so i think this might be a neat decoration to add, since it's not entirely impossible, at least for probe missions. Cheers!

*One more little wrinkle, since this is a linux thread, I figure if anyone knows anything about getting dual monitors running on an ATI Radeon 7770 under ubuntu, hit me with a PM or something so as to not derail the thread - but all i can seem to manage is mirror mode, which is slightly less than useful, although it's handy to not have to turn on a nightlight lol. Keeps giving me an error referring to the size/position being out of range? 22" Westinghouse on one DVI port, acer 19" on the other, both 16:10, both capable of positively ridiculous resolution... but this would help greatly once I get KSP rolling again, since I have been simply booting up my little android stick on my TV to keep an eye on news feeds and run skype/etc while I game, this could free up some resources while waiting for transfer windows and the like.* thanks. again.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Pretty Pretty Princess. Wait, no, Perservering Pontificator? Shucks. Anyhow, same error codes when I run from terminal. I double click the icon, nothing happens. 64 bit, 32 bit, whatever. Killed the settings.cfg, no difference. I played on tuesday, no problem. Things that have changed - I was told to fix another game I had to install this 32 bit compatibility package thing. Gnome something or other. Clearly I'm an experienced linux user. *cough* last time I consistently used POSIX was bona-fide UNIX before Sun went pear shaped. Sun Sparc 6 workstations. Woohoo. 1999 Vintage. Enlightenment desktop. *sighs* In any case, Ubuntu is pretty bone stock except for the additional packages I installed. Also something called alacarte. I deleted the snot out of that using the apt-get uninstall and apt-get autoremove. Still didn't fix it. Not sure what all the other packages were, but it was a whopping 200 megs or so, could be the problem. I have a hard time believing I will have to remove all of them to get KSP working again, though. Just to be clear, my screen doesn't even flicker, no window pops up, i double click the icon and absolutely nothing happens. I select run, nothing happens, and when I do the ./ksp.x86 thing, I get the same error dodad as above. my game log is still from tuesday, when I launched over a dozen kerbals on a trans-jool trajectory towards Laythe. Please don't let them die. Fix me. Plz. *dies a slow painful death after yet another thing breaks* //endrant
