I couldn't find UQM in the repository for Ubuntu, so i downloaded the source and content and followed the directions to build it and then install it. When i try to run i get the error
Error: Could not copy default key config to user config dir: No such file or directory.
This has been mentioned here before, and the typical response is that it's due to unzipping the data files, or not having the content available at all. I've checked and double checked, and the content files are all in the right place, just as downloaded.
I extracted the .key file manually and put it in my config directory, and now i get this error:
Kernel failed to load!
The window opens, but stays blank.
Any ideas what's going on here?

Fot or not?

This sounds like you have the content in the wrong directory or the content for the wrong version of UQM. Without information on where you have placed the content and exactly how you are starting UQM it is hard to tell what's wrong. Have you tried manually specifying the content directory with the --contentdir option?

me@hubris:/usr/local/games/share/uqm/content$ ls
uqm-0.4.0-3domusic.uqm uqm-0.4.0-content.uqm uqm-0.4.0-voice.uqm version
I did discover uqm in multiverse yesterday, but it was an earlier version, so i was trying to get 0.4 to work. I'll try it out since it seems that no obvious solution is making itself known.
The "suggestion" i got on the Ubuntu forums was to download sc2 and run it on a DOS emulator. I'm reminded fairly often there why it was that i liked gentoo forums. If only gentoo on a laptop wasn't such a pain, i would be using that instead. The jury's still out, though.
Edit: Okay, i installed uqm from multiverse (version 0.3) and it works fine with default parameters. However, if i try to set OpenGL mode, i get an audio error.
OpenGL renderer: MOBILITY RADEON 9600 Generic version: 1.3.5272 (X4.3.0-8.16.20)
Initializing SDL audio subsystem.
SDL audio subsystem initialized.
Initializing MixSDL mixer.
MixSDL using driver 'SDL_audio'
Unable to open audio: a101, No available audio device
Sound driver initialization failed.
This may happen when a soundcard is not present or not available.
Weird. Audio also fails with custom resolution set, even though that fails and defaults back to 640x480. And now, it doesn't work at all. I had it running twice by simply running uqm, but now that doesn't work! Aargh...
Uninstalling and reinstalling has fixed it, but such Microsoftesque behavior in a linux app is strange. What do command line switches do to the default install?
It seems stupid to have to run 0.3 when 0.4 has been out for months, and is a great improvement. I hope something comes up to fix this.

I knew it had to be something stupid on my part.  What i don't understand is why the CVS install still failed, since it includes the content. When i created a packages subdir in content in the CVS tree and added the voices and music packs, it worked fine, but i thought those were optional. 
In any case, OpenGL and in fact, any command line options seem to break it still.
Thanks for catching that error- i was so preoccupied with it saying version 0.3 in unixinstall that i overlooked the full dir.
It seems that a more informative error would be useful, since it's clearly not the missing key file that caused this problem (eg in the CVS tree it exists outside of a package already).

I use Kubuntu, and started with the most recent release. Except for the fact that the installer is a bit retarded, it's quite impressive. Everything i have needed to use on my Thinkpad T42 has just worked from the default install plus about three or four easy tweaks: standby, hibernate, 3D acceleration (although ATI drivers are terrible), CPU scaling, sound (including volume buttons), 1400x1050 res, touchpad+the Thinkpad button, brightness control, usb mouse, dual boot (a bit of a hassle there, though), and wireless. My biggest complaint is that wireless is NOT very functional, in the sense that only cli commands seem to work (ie the Kwireless panel seems to do nothing but mislead one) and i still can't get it to work with my work AP (which has no encryption or anything tricky)--just my home AP.
Man that game is addictive. Went to bed at 5:00
