    You paid for that OS which means they offer support for it , I'd hit them up.

    Re: pioneers

    Open the terminal and launch the application there , the terminal will provide output and you should be able to pull some information from there to further diagnose the issue.

    Let's say the launch is being interrupted and the terminals last bit of output is
    /user/lib/l
    that may hint that the application is having an issue accessing a dependency library. Or it may provide an error such as
    cannot access such and such
    that may be a permission issue.

    No, you have to put the launcher for the game in the terminal. Just open a terminal, and drag the launcher in there, and post the output here.

    Re: pioneers

    this is what it said.
    zatch@Naruto-Uzumaki:~$ '/usr/share/applications/pioneers.desktop'
    bash: /usr/share/applications/pioneers.desktop: Permission denied

    so how do i fix the permissions

    Try this:

    Code:
    sudo chmod 666 /usr/share/applications/pioneers.desktop
    Did you install the game via a binary installer run as root? (As opposed to a deb package?) If you did, it is likely you'll have to run the game with "sudo" every time you play it. Either that, or you'll have to reinstall the game under your own user.
