Problems before entering the game

To start PlaneShift from a Linux command line

If PlaneShift is installed in your home directory: 

~/PlaneShift/psclient

or 

~/PlaneShift/pslaunch



To update PlaneShift from a Linux command line

If PlaneShift is installed in your home directory: 

~/PlaneShift/pslaunch --console

If the updater fails with errors such as: 

Unable to get root node! Segmentation fault

then, from the PlaneShift directory rename the files: updateservers.xml and updaterinfo.xml

to: updateservers.xml-old and updaterinfo.xml-old

and try to update again.



Graphics card drivers

Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc, will install or offer to install the latest stable version of your graphics card driver for you.

If you are using a different Linux distribution and it does not automatically install an optimised graphics card driver for your graphics card then you can install one manually.

NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

AMD/ATI: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

Intel: http://www.intel.com/p/en_UK/support/graphics/

Each of these web sites have Linux drivers for their laptop and desktop computers' graphics cards. Documentation regarding their installation will be included with the driver.
