why do i only see the 3DO data package in "downloads" and not the Urquan Masters game package?
I did have QM installed in early december, but i removed it, and now i cannot find it in the package manager to reinstall it.
if i open the package manager and go to downloads/games i see only the 3DO package
if i open the package manager and go to uninstall i can confirm the game is not still installed
any help appreciated

That is strange. You should make sure you have the Extras repository enabled, but not Extras-Testing or Extras-Devel. Once you have verified that, update and make sure The Ur-Quan Masters isn't in your list of downloads one more time.
If you still don't see it, you should try using the apt-get utility from the command line. Make sure you have rootsh installed, close App Manager, and then open an xterm (Ctrl-Shift-x) and type
If that doesn't solve the problem, please let me know what output the apt-get command gives you.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Interesting game, a bit to old school to what I'm used to though so it will take some time to get into it but a big thanks to you Flandry for porting this seemingly deep game to the N900.

The battles do not always start you facing away from enemy. At least here.
They are *hard*. You have to learn techniques for each enemy. That's part of the fun!
A tip for beginners, fill Fwippo's ship with crew, run away from the enemy and drop the auto-seeking missiles. That will give you a fighting chance as a beginner.
Flandry, I have a UQM stuck in the N900 update queue. Can you push a new version without the broken joystick dependency?

i'm going to install the 3DO data and see if the game will then show up in the standard repository, and if not, then uninstall the 3D0 data and hope that both will once again show up.
[edit] apt-get seems top have installed it ok, but why did it not show up in the app manager? [/edit]

ArnimS: The extras-devel version has nothing added to it that would work without the joydev package. It's probably a bug that HAM is pushing it as an update when it has broken dependencies... While i'm not very impressed by the accelerometer control, that was the intent of the devel version and it doesn't make any sense to downgrade it. Just disable -devel like an ordinary person. :P
Maybe Attila will give an update on joydev. I have considered packaging up the compiled module, but (1) using a precompiled kernel module package isn't really appropriate on free afaik and (2) i don't really know how to install a kernel module via deb and am willing to leave that to him unless he decides it's not something he wants to do.

It is also a game where you have to take *notes*. Remember that? You will get a lot of hints in conversations, and you *must* take note of them.
Have fun

So, I updated UQM the other day ( still no joydev, I think) and the game is still working fine but something has changed with the directional controls.
Now, the US keyboard layout's arrow keys still control the correct up/down movements for menus and conversations, but no longer control the direction of the ship.
The ship's movement in single player is now controlled with "ESDF".
I went into control settings and hit "restore defaults" and I even tried to manually map UP, DOWN, LEFT, & RIGHT to the arrow keys but the ship's direction is still controlled with "ESDF".
Previously, I could control with the arrow keys. Can someone clue me into the change?

a.) guess you never played star control 1 back in the old-school pc gaming days.
b.) guess you never played star control 2 which is the basis for UQM.
c.) guess you don't have the patience to learn new games so by extension, I wonder if you have the patience with the n900. This phone isn't for the faint of heart. Think about it.
