I think you are experiencing a known permission bug with Linux, try installing the game again into your home folder and see if that helps. We will release an updated installer later to fix this.
RE: Little Demo problem :D - Urkle - 09-05-2010
hmm.. are you sure the game installed correctly? As it looks like it's failing to find the graphics? (it's different that the permission error)

the game is installed in home an have all persimissions :/
Here is the md5sum of the installer:
d11d1355de176471ec92299fdd8730ff amnesia_tdd_demo_1.0.sh
is that correct?
RE: Little Demo problem :D - jens - 09-05-2010
Yeah, that is correct. Sorry I have no further help to suggest, I'm not that Linux savvy.

Search for the missing menu_loading_screen.jpg in your Amnesia directory tree. If it isn't anywhere in there, something went wrong with the install.
If it is there, I wouldn't know what to check for next

Got exactly the same problem on arch too and fixed it by now.
The problem seems to be related to the old version of libjpeg used
for Amnesia.
My /usr/lib included:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 9 2010 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 -> /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8
Which means, that the current version of the old(!) libjpeg6 linked to the new one and
that definitely caused the crash of Amnesia. However Amnesia got its own distributed libjpeg so it may be possible (I didn't try that) to simply remove this symlink
(mv it away) and then Amnesia uses its own correct libjpeg.
However since I wanted to have a working libjpeg6 I installed the package
"libjpeg6" from AUR and that automagically replaced the symlink by one
that pointed to a "real" libjpeg6 library.
...and that fixed it for me. Since your problem seems exactly the same I'm pretty
sure this fix will work for you too.
Please reply if that helped you or not so that the mods may post this as a common problem.
Greetings, Paul

yaourt -S libjpeg6 solved the problem for me, thanks!
