Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: glest
I tried playing Glest on my Ubuntu 8.10, and I am sorry to say that the
port is somewhat broken. After playing for a while, the game (which
begins full screen) becomes a window (see attachment), and playing
becomes a little tougher.
I did the following to get it back to full screen- I minimised the
window and then Alt-TAB. That got me back into full-screen. Sometimes
after a while it may go back to full screen all by itself.
Twice it made my computer crash.
Once because I tried closing the program from the OS without exiting
from within the game. The sound server did not leave and kept creating
this annoying sound.
And on the other instance the screen froze while I was playing, and I
had to press power button to get my machine out of it.
Once while I was playing all of a sudden the game crashed, and I was
back at the Ubuntu login window.
It's an awesome game, and probably one of the best games available for
Linux. It will be nice if these could be fixed. Thank you very much for
the game.
