If memory serves, the issue is in the .net part of the launcher.

Try launching the client, rather than the launcher.

Im just bugtracing right now... I dont use Linux myself, but I have a fair deal of expirience with it.

If we can launch the game without the launcher, we know where to look... then we know where to start.

You need to find the game exe file in your mounts....

Not sure what it would be on linux, but on a Win, it should be "%program files%\Cryptic Studios\Star Trek Online\Live\GameClient.exe" i belive...

You probably have it in your /usr or /bin (or /etc?)

No... the launcher and the client are seperate enteties... The launcher simply provides patch access/evaluation as well as directed login.

The game client is usually launched through the launcher, but it is not required, if your client is up to date.

But... come to think of it, The launcher IS powered by IE... You might want to investigate if you can sucessfully install IE9 or later?

I will be offline for the next 8'ish hours... sleep is a b*tch, but nessacary.

Try my suggestions, and hope someone else can help you... If not, I will look into this thread tomorrow again...

was skimming through the old forums, and found this:

Post #2 is mine... Seems it solved the issue back then.

Ok, so that issue is removed from the checklist...

There is a file... MS*somethingsomething*.dll that the launcher initiates... It's apprearently not nessacary on the windows, but it might just be in Ubuntu...

Ill see what I can figure out
