After Updates yesterday evening on Jan 8 / 9 no ship control
Hi all
After Vendetta Updates yesterday evening late night Jan 8 or perhaps it was really early morning Jan 9 2010
No ship control at all.
I docked just before the updates occurred and came back the next day to play and launched from some helios station.
From there I'm just floating / drifting in space.
My options to select window mode does not function it crashes to desktop.
So I only have full mode
Meaning that since I'm now just drifting in space as soon as I start the game; and I cannot do anything to turn off the game the only solution is to reboot the computer in order to shut down the game.
The keyboard is not completely locked the numbe/lock still can go on and off so I believe the computer is still running in the other desktops, but I can't access them to terminate the game.
No problem prior to updates. Although I could never really use the window mode, it was ok for me to just quit the game and go to desktop.
But since Vendetta updates the game is completely non functional.
Ubuntu 9.10 karamic 64bit and was working perfectly prior to update.
Initially prior to the update and prior to getting things working properly I did have to add these lines to the config.ini file in order to get the sound crackling worked out.
[alsa]
periodsize=1024
And everything was working perfectly until the vendetta update
Please advise.

I can't address your current issue (sounds like bad stuff, sorry), but you can change to windowed mode before you open the game. In config.ini change the windowmode variable from 0 to 1. You might also need to change the xres and yres values if it still crashes. Hopefully that should help with that problem, at least.
this issue has happened with me on Karmic, although in my case the config.ini simply cleared itself for apparently no reason. Going to opions, then controls at the login screen let me reset to defaults (as not only my personal preferances had disappeared but ALL controls were set to none)
Hm, try deleting the config.ini file and wgaf.cfg file. Or just the wgaf.cfg file. Or go to Options->Keyboard and select the 'Defaults' button in the lower corner.
Great News - Solved
I tried your suggested first to:
Options->Keyboard and select the 'Defaults' button in the lower corner.
And that fixed it No more driftwood ship
Thanks a lot
P.S
diqrtvpe-your suggestion also fixed my window issue, Let the fun resume this is great thanks
