after much tinkering, installing and reinstalling graphics drivers and such, I've managed to get the game to open (previously didn't) but it will only go as far as loading then forcing a reboot on the whole computer, other games (psychonauts, swords and sorcery) seem to be working fine. I'm running the game off steam, I've tried to open from the root folder in a terminal (the same thing happens as before) but nothing works. I'm running ubuntu 12.10.
cheers, Ed.

Re: ubuntu loading crash
What graphics card do you have?
Are you running Ubuntu in 64-bits or 32-bits?

Re: ubuntu loading crash
sorry, I forgot I posted this. I'm running 64 bit, my graphics car is an ati radeon mobility 4500 512 MB vram.
god knows what video driver im running, catalyst and fglrx completely messed up my ui on ubuntu so i had to manually uninstall fglrx and install catalyst without it, it took a bunch of terminal with code i dont even understand

Re: ubuntu loading crash
Well frankly, with an installation as customized as yours (with many "terminal code" you did not keep track of), I think it's going to be very hard to pinpoint what exactly is wrong with your install, especially since I don't have that graphics card (only ever had nVidia, Intel and SiS actually). 
Have you tried running the game from a terminal? You should get debugging text output in the terminal while the game is running, which could help pinpoint the issue. Just open a terminal, navigate to the FTL directory (using the "cd" command) and then use the "./FTL" command to launch the game.

Hello there,
I'm also experience X-server crash during game start. Attaching the X-server logs containing the segfault information.

Re: ubuntu loading crash
Thanks for the log, hopefully this will help the devs. Did FTL itself create any log in its own directory or terminal?

Nope, can't find any logs of FTL. Not sure about the terminal since X crashed.

Re: ubuntu loading crash
Try deleting libstdc++.o.6 from the amd64 and x86 lib folders
