Does trying to run it from the terminal give any message? or just dump you back at the command prompt?

Have a look in "glest.log" and if that doesn't help you, post the contents here.

Hi

I'm having the same troubles. I'm using Ubunt 9.04, installed the packages  glest-3.2.1.0ubuntu1 and glest-data-3.2.1.0ubuntu1
This is what the terminal says:

get fences failed: -1
param: 6, val: 0
Exception: Error accessing value: AutoTest in: glest.ini
Value not found in propertyMap: AutoTest, loaded from: glest.ini

Besides, there is no "Autotest" in glest.ini, the logfile is empty.
I read an article about a X-Server-Bughttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance#Problem:%20/dev/dri/card0%20permissions%20are%20incorrect (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance#Problem:%20/dev/dri/card0%20permissions%20are%20incorrect), but couldn't get the gpg-key that's mentioned at the end of the article. The keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com is not responding - i tried to get it and still failed after 2 weeks.

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FS115B, 1GB RAM, Intel M730,1.6GHz.

Maybe you can give me a clue ?.

Open glest.ini
Add the following line,

Code: [Select]

AutoTest=0

Enjoy Glest (hopefully :))

Cheers.

up to know I think, all the glest packages in ubuntu are a bit buggy.
Whoever is the package maintainer for ubuntu, he never ask anyone in this forum for help or for testers
