Hmmm, looks like the original poster had a russian locale. Could it be a keymapping issue? Maybe Y is in a different place on a russian keyboard... (apart from the keyboard being in Cyrillic)

Yes, it is possible.

What does this all mean to us simple folk?

More endorsement from linux distros; probably, as a consequence, more visibility for the project and more possible developers attracted to the project.

That would translate into a better game for the user

Yes. Technically the data for 1.65 is tripple-licensed, since CC-by-nc-sa 2.0 and CC-by-nc-sa 3.0 are different licenses, but it may be distributed in its entirety under the GPL. Excellent. I will prepare an upload for Oolite in debian with the necessary changes for it to enter the main section! :-...

Is the thing about data true for 1.65 ? If so, I will have to make a fast upload in Debian so is part of the new Debian release which is really soon to come. The dual-licensing applies retroactively to 1.65 (but not earlier). 1.65 may also be distributed under CC-by-nc-sa 2.0. However, there is cur...

So to make it clear: Oolite (the engine) is GPL 2.0 or later (at choice)/CC-NC-SA (2.0 for releases until now, 3.0 from now on) Oolite-data is CC-NC-SA (2.0 for releases until now, 3.0 from now on) Is this correct? No. From now on, Oolite (the application) is GPL 2 or later only. The data is GPL 2 ...

Just after some clarification. I'm under the impression that Oolite is now GPL, but the artwork (including models, textures and music) is under a CC license that prohibits commercial distribution and derivatives. Is this generally the case? If one were to take full advantage of the additional freed...

I've found two scooping anomalies. Strangely, though, when I trade gold, platinum, or gems at a station, it doesn't count against my cargo capacity. When I scoop them, they do. On F5 screen, it shows 29t/30t, plus whatever I scooped. But I can't scoop anything else until I jettison something, and t...

I am still suspecting the graphics driver. Fair enough. Something about the fullscreen mode, I assume? I run Oolite in a window. A full-sized window, but a window nevertheless. I can't remember why. Perhaps something to do with xscreensaver. Can you provide the output of lspci -n and lspci -vv ? Su...

thanks

I, for one, cannot even understand the need to translate games to native languages. Perhaps I'm too old, but in my day, _all_ the games were in English. It would feel weird seeing Finnish used in Oolite... I have the same feeling, (for Dutch/Flemish) probly also age-related. My first computers were...

Wow. I haven't upgraded much of anything since I had those problems with the nVidia drivers, so this required about two hundred package changes. Something about python and its dependencies, I'd guess. Of course, I use apt-get instead of aptitude; I don't think there's much of a difference, but if s...

I notice the environment is set up for the UTF-8 character set. Could this be causing the problem? I doubt it... If you can tell me how to get that system info, I'll get the dump from my Debian/unstable system. Mine recognizes the keystrokes with no errors, so it could be useful for comparison purp...

Hello, One of the users of Oolite on Debian has submitted the bug report #400028 in the Debian BTS. Here is the initial report: Package: oolite Version: 1.65-3 Severity: normal After the start of oolite I may see a rotating ship and hear the music. The message offers to load commander '(Y/N)'.
