hi there

I'm running on an ubuntu 11.04 beta system (http://www.ubuntu.com/) and I have sun java6 installed
when the game is launched (installed or not). i can access anything from the mouse, but when I have to imput a name or a password using my keyboard I can bang on as many buttons as i like It won't take it!

what do i need to do? uninstall sun java6 and use openJDK or what? I've got some other programs that run better on the sun-java system so I'm completely clueless.

as long as this isn't fixed i can't play the game and can't spend money on it so please help!

i've got an:
AMD 965X4 Phenom II (3,8GHz)
4Gb DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GEFORCE 9600GT (1024MB)
1TB HDD
ubuntu 11.04 beta (will be updated every day).
latest oracle java.

just tested it and this stuff works:
unset XIM
unset XIM_PROGRAM
unset GTK_IM_MODULE
unset QT_IM_MODULE
unset XMODIFIERS
cd /path/to/game
./spiral

i have to use it in a terminal and then start the game manually,
this isn't very user-friendly....

Omegaxis, according to one of

Omegaxis, according to one of the users in the thread equinox posted:

Instead of all these lines, on Ubuntu you can instead
source /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/none

You can for example make a sh script to start the game, and place it in /home/user/.getdown/spiral/spiral-start.sh:
#!/bin/bash
unset XIM
unset XIM_PROGRAM
unset GTK_IM_MODULE
unset QT_IM_MODULE
unset XMODIFIERS
cd $( dirname $0 )
java -jar getdown-pro.jar .

Have you tried that?
