Great that is what I need to know. I have confirmed your bug as I have the same issue with gnome-games version: 1:2.17.91-0ubuntu1 on feisty.
This is basically an enhancement request, it is reasonable to expect glchess to ask the user if they wish to have those installed or have the packages required for 3d chess to be installed by default. ** Changed in: gnome-chess (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: gnome-chess => gnome-games Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- Unable to enable 3D mode https://launchpad.net/bugs/85670 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
