Okay I have penumbra from the digital download but when I try to run it as user it freezes the screen and spits me back into X with a changed resolution and no mouse. But when I run as root the game loads and is playable. It used to run as user I don't know what I've done to my system since I purchased it a few months back...its probably just some strange permissions error or something but heres my hpl.log file

I'm not getting any errors but when I load the game it spits out something about not being able to start mcop and the I should try the command ulimit -c unlimited, still won't work as user. Oh yeah, I'm running Feisty with 100 series nvidia card and a audigy 2 zs soundboard, and I have a Geforce 7600. Thanks in advance...

Try to close all other applications before starting Penumbra.
It seems it stop when trying to get access to the Sound Device.

If that does not help, disable aRTS (Ubuntu sound system) before starting the game. Penumbra may want exclusive access to the sound device and this is hold by Ubuntu sound system aRTS.
