0.25 x64 - KSP dies almost instantly at startup

[joshudson]

Due to various reasons involving a motherboard that fried itself I suspect the change in graphics card is the difference between working 2 weeks ago and crash immediately today.

KSP crashes instantly on startup.

Tried unpacking anew to an empty directory and it didn't fix anything.

A window quickly flashes up and disappears instantly. It's so fast I wouldn't know a window was flashing up if the window manager didn't animate the taskbar. NO logfile generated.

If you just see the window for a moment it's usually the gfx drivers that's the problem, though you're full player.log and KSP.log can tell us more, please see the support stickies.

Also check that the correct driver for your card is installed and working, you should be able to run glxgears and glxinfo in your terminal to make sure.

That's what it was. Garbage-collected leftover nvidia drivers and it started working.

Had already verified glxgears so thought nvidia was already purged. Nope.

Heh, great, glad it's working
