Character Name Error

KhorreNnarsi · 01-07-2010, 02:59 PM

Well, this one has been said before, but, When I go through Character creation, as I must as a new person, It won't let me add a name. I click the input box, and nuthin' happens. I type anyways, still nothing.
I looked around the forums, found a few others who had the problem, adn I did the fix they had in been given.
-Fix one was checking keymaps. That was nice, turns out i've been on "ireland" instead of "US" fixed that, and narrowed down to one as the fix suggested. Still didn't work.
-Fix two said to disable Compiz. done. I even found a neat script to allow me to toggle it at will in a way, but still, even with compiz taken off, still can't type in name.

So, I come now asking is there any other solutions? I'd like to play this game badly, but If I can't make a character, I can't.

I'm running Linux Mint, Gnome.
I think based off of the Ubuntu version Karma. I'm not totally sure though.

I hope that is enough info to help diagnose the issue, and i'm looking forward to hopefully being able to finally play this game.

So, anyone got any ideas?

Did I manage to post the ultimate doozy? I hope not, because I'm really hoping there is a solution and I can play this thing.

Have you tried it under another desktop yet, e.g. xfce or lxde? Same issues?

No I haven't.
