Hello list ...
I am trying to run 1.65 under ubuntu feisty ... oolite comes up, the initial page showing all the ships comes up, sound works but all the text is unreadable. Bars are displayed instead.
There are plenty of err messages written to stdout most of them of the form:
don't know how to load entity ...
.:3: validity error : Validation failed: no DTD found !
I guess they can be ignored. Could it be that I am missing some fonts or so ?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions ...

Try changing to full screen. Admitadley this can be a bit tricky when you can't see what you are doing on the menus. Somtimes the text is all shown as bars in a window but is fine when switched to full screen.
OXPS : The Assassins Guild, Asteroid Storm, The Bank of the Black Monks, Random Hits, The Galactic Almanac, Renegade Pirates can be downloaded from the Elite Wiki here.
Thank you for your reply ... I did change to fullscreen and it crashed instantly. Now I cannot start it at all. It keeps on crashing with error messages indicating some X problem.
If I use another user (same resoltuion and refresh rate, i.e. identical X settings) it starts up, displays text (!) but when hitting f11 it crashes as if using the beforementioned user.
Here are the error messages:

I ve cut out all the tedious messages in between. Now at first sight it seems to try to switch to 1280x1024 while the actual resolution run is 1024x768. Furthermore, the refresh rate of 0 is lower than intended.
That might well accout for that problem. Ok, obviously oolite has stored a resolution to go for somewhere. I cannot find any local file (as I have deleted .oolite-run before and it now does crash instantly). Any suggestions? ... and no, purging and reinstalling the packages does not help.
Is there some way to alter the list of modes taken into consideration?
Ok, thank you for your patience and thank you in advance for any helpful reply.
