UFOAI fails to boot on Xubuntu 12.10

[leadjester]

I resolved my previous issue by attaching an external moniter but now It fails to start half way through loading

What must I do to resolve this? I

Try disabling shaders by running the game with +set r_programs 0 parameters. Intel on-board graphics has poor 3D support (so as its driver).

How would one do that? If putting it at the end of the launcher's Command spot is the correct method it did not work.

My apologies if I have a lack of know-how for this OS I am new-ish to linux.

EDIT: Found out how, but the application still crashes.

Maybe we need a Live CD for this game.  Knoppix used to include UFO:AI, but not anymore.

Assuming such a Live CD could be built, where should it be hosted?

[pag1035]

The third Live CD I tried, worked.  Puppy Linux 5.4.3, "Precise Puppy", based on Ubuntu.  I had to download the ISO, burn a CD, then install to a USB drive (Setup > Puppy Universal Installer).  Once I booted the USB drive, I installed the following packages using Puppy Package Manager:

   libSDL_image-1.2.so.0 => not found
   libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0 => not found
   libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0 => not found

(From ldd of the ufo executable.)  That's enough to get the Desura copy of UFO:AI to run on my Intel DH67CF system.  Whew.
