Hi,
Heard about the games on the Linux Cranks podcast

I just purchased the Penumbra Collection
But when launching the first game (Overture) it asks me to enter my serial, which it doesn't accept

While installing, I was looking around the forums, and noticed this update
http://support.frictionalgames.com/entry/65/
and I ran the update straight after the base install
Is this my problem?

Basic specs
Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha, x86_64, 4Gb RAM, Nvidia 7600GS (using Nvidia non-free driver)

It never really crossed my mind it would ask for the serial twice (once to start install, and again when launched)

any help is appreciated,
Tony


Ps. Black plague & Requim seem to run fine, which is why I'm assuming my problem is that update
(any way to revert it?)
Solved my own problem
That update was the cause

Backed-up & deleted ~/PenumbraCollection and ~/.frictionalgames
Reinstalled, and now all is well
you have to re-install the game. the update is NOT for the collection.. The collection already includes the latest patches.. (I'm going to go update that KB article now)
