Ok, I just did some tests and found out something very weird:
On a hunch that it might be a problem specific to our systems, I tried
installing a fresh copy of Karmic in VirtualBox. I then installed Spring
from the stock repos. It actually ran! Well, it ran poorly, as you might
expect, but it
Well, the first time I started getting these problems, I was running the
Karmic beta upgraded from Jaunty. Thinking that maybe it was just
because of the beta release, I waited until it was officially released,
and then I did a fresh install. Still have the same problems.
James, do you use an
Yeah, I have a GTX 280 with proprietary drivers 185, the ones that come
with Karmic...

Yeah, I use the proprietary drivers with my card too. I have a hunch
that this might have something to do with us using Nvidia cards. Doesn't
VirtualBox simulate its own graphics card?

Yes, VirtualBox uses its own simulated card (AFAICT anway.)
So I disabled the proprietary driver and switched my system to the nv
driver. Similar story here: it actually ran, albeit poorly. So it seems
to me that this is shaping up to be a driver bug

I think I may have found something that solves this for me: upgrading my
drivers to the 190 series...
With these drivers I can start games again on my machine. :)
Here are the steps I went through to get this to work:
1. Install this PPA to get access to the latest stable 190 driver:
Interesting. I wonder if this is affecting other games? Nexuiz wasn't
running for a while after I upgraded to the most recent Nivida drivers,
nor will Tremulous, but I just thought it was Karmic being silly. Maybe
the most recent stable driver isn't a stable driver after all.

Err, by the most recent stable driver, I mean the one that ships with
Karmic. I'll test out the 190 driver in a bit.

Confirmed. Spring, Tremulous and other 3D games work just fine now with
the 190 driver. Thanks, James!
I suppose we should now figure out if anyone else is having these
problems. Maybe the Ubuntu people might want to get Nvidia users to
upgrade to 190.

Funny you mention Nexuiz. I was having problems with it too. Multiplayer
would work, but not single player. It works again with 190, just like
spring...

There's an update to springlobby in the PPA as well, did that fix it for
you?

If so we may have to SRU both for Karmic (though we should SRU the newer
spring anyway)

Crashes persist with newest SpringLobby from PPA.
Some other observations:
- If I use the version from the stock repos (0.23) I can play single player
games with bots. But it crashes if I try to start a multiplayer game with humans
- With the PPA lobby client, I can't start any game at all, be
Updated to the most recent versions of both from the PPA. I can confirm
that the same problems James just mentioned are still occurring.

I'm also seeing these symptoms on the final version of Karmic with
spring-engine 0.80.5-0ubuntu2. I also have the same problems with the
Karmic binaries from the PPA.

Upgraded to the most recent Spring engine release. Errors persist.
I think it has to due with the Spring Lobby being extremely out of date.
The current version in the repositories is 23, and I think the most
recent version is supposed to be 29 or higher. Spring will start
normally from command
I've uploaded the new Spring version, however it's waiting on approval
to enter the archive due to the freeze:

Your issue may go away after that - please reconfirm then if you can.
Thanks!
