    I recently downloaded KAG157x for Linux from official website.
    After update, game browser was empty - there was only official server with 0 players. My login and password was correct, because I was able to play this game on windows. On linux I could play only offline. I was trying to repair this almost two days.

    After that, I downloaded KAG124 for Linux from some unofficial download site. After update it finally works.

    I carefully studied terminal output and game config files. After that I realized, that version 157x was updated from kag2d.com, and version 124 was connected to dropbox.

    Distro: Xubuntu 11.04
    Everything patched and up-to-date. No issues with the system.

    FUD or some weird xubuntu business. I just downloaded the linux client off kag2d.com ( http://kag2d.com/download/file/kag157x.tar.gz ) and tried to replicate this in a virtualised environment (Debian 6 on Virtualbox).

    The update was completed successfully, I could log in and see every server in the server browser.

    Maybe you are right, but Virtualised Environment is not exactly the same as real computer. Tomorrow I will try to run KAG157x on PC with standard Ubuntu 10.04. This is the most popular linux distro, so I think KAG for linux should be working flawlessly on it.

    I hope this is only matter of Xubuntu. From technical point of view, Xubuntu and Ubuntu are very similar - except graphic environment and some minor changes.

    Right, not exactly the same? we're not talking about GPU/3D stuff, just running a binary, connecting and updating..i 'm pretty sure virtualisation in this respect in this day and age is pretty damn accurate. I forgot to mention it works on my non-virtualised ubuntu 11.04 too :p Either way, calling this a "Major Problem With Linux Client" when nobody else had similar issues is a bit alarmist..

    Are you 100% sure you didn't accidentally download the linux _server_ instead of the client?

    Ok, I surrender. On Ubuntu 10.04 it works too. I really don't understand why the newest version of KAG don't work on Xubuntu...
    Yes, I am 100% sure that I downloaded the linux_client. In addition, today I replicated this issue again on Xubuntu. Pretty weird.

    May I ask moderator of this section to change the name of this thread? Indeed I overdid with this. Fortunately, this is only Xubuntu matter.
    And maybe if someone has another weird or unpopular Linux distro, this solution will help.
