freyk, Here is my condump, as requested: Also, this is what happened after the condump, when I went through the game exit procedure:

Yea!!!!! Thanks to NightStalker for the comparison between what I had versus what he had. I installed 'libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0:i386', and changed the 'seta sys_videoRam' from "0" to "256". I can now see the Main Menu and get into the 'Training Mission'. *** The need for this file and the other files noted in a previous post should be noted in the installation instructions for Linux users. *** (BTW NightStalker: I was a SLACKer for many years, until I finally got tired of constantly having to spend time figuring out drivers and configuration issues when upgrading OS versions and installing new software. I went from Slack to Ubuntu to Mint.)

NightStalker, thanks for the friendly, but strong, suggestion. I edited my previous posts and added spoiler sections. Next, here is a short output from glxgears: The output of testing 'tdm_gui01.pk4' is: 'test of tdm_gui01.p4 OK' The rest I will have to work on tonight. Again, thanks for the spoiler suggestion.

nbohr1more, all of the files in the darkmod folder have <me> : <me> as the owner. Since I am the only one that will be playing the game, there is no reason to perform a chown to the files (<me> : users, for example). As noted in the preceding sentence, the two executables 'tdm_update.linux' and 'thedarkmod.x86' are both owned by me ( <me> : <me>). Also, the permissions are 755 for both files. The permissions on the remaining files, including the .pk4 files, are 644. The permissions on the 'fms' and 'screenshots' directories are 755.

Springheel, I did check and found 'tdm_gui01.pk4' in the darkmod directory. It's size is 26,622,315 bytes. I noticed that there are other files in some of the .pk4 files that are not being loaded. I wonder if the problem may be with the program opening the .pk4 files.

freyk, I performed the following from the link you noted: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxext6:i386 libxxf86vm1:i386 libpng12-0:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libglapi-mesa:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386 wget unzip sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/games/darkmod sudo chown -R nobody:users /usr/share/games/darkmod sudo chmod uga+w /usr/share/games/darkmod exitI moved all of my darkmod files to the new directory (which makes sense), reran 'tdm_update.linux', made 'thedarkmod.x86' executable, and tried to run it again. Again, black screens, which were mirroring each other when I exited the program. I changed the darkmod.cfg as shown in my first post, and ran 'thedarkmod.x86' again. This time, a black window. Here is my new console dump: Any thoughts?

nbohr1more, I know nothing about the 32-bit S3TC libraries. The version 2.05 installation instructions said to install the "package called ia32-lib and and its dependencies", which I had 'ia32-libs' already installed as a requirement for another application. I am assuming that since ia32-libs was installed via apt-get, all of its dependencies were installed also.

Okay, in the forums I found where I can type the tilde ('~') character to get to a console. Great! Here is the 'dump' from my condump:

Yesterday I installed 'The Dark Mod' version 2.05 on my computer. ('tdm_update.linux' worked great, but took FOREVER. The resultant 'thedarkmod.x86' file is 6.5 MB in size.) My issues: When starting the program (./thedarkmod.x86), I get great audio, but only a black screen (window).When running on full desktop mode (not in a window), both monitors go black.I can hear clicking when I move the (invisible) mouse pointer within the black screen. Unfortunately, the only way I found to get things back to 'normal' is to do a 'CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE', since I cannot get the mouse pointer to my desktop (when running in window mode).I cannot see what errors I may have gotten when launching from the command line, because of having to re-start my session (see line above). My computer system: OS: Linux Mint 17.3 (64 bit) CPU: Intel Core i7-3610QM @ 2.30 GHz x 4 System RAM: 8 GB Video Controller: Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Video Card: AMD / ATI Heathrow PRO [Radeon HD 7850M/8850M] Video RAM Available: 2048 MB Displays: Laptop [1920 x 1080 (16:9)], Standalone monitor [1920 x 1080 (16:9)] Anyway, from searching the forum for possible things to do to get video, I changed the following lines in my Darkmod.cfg file: seta com_videoRam "2048" seta r_aspectRatio "1" seta r_fullscreen "0" seta r_customHeight "900" seta r_customWidth "1600" seta r_mode "-1" seta sys_videoRam "0" Still, I get the black screen (window). My Darkmod.log shows: Any thoughts on how to actually 'see' what is hiding inside the black screen (or window)?
