This section contains information about Kerbal Space Program on operation systems based on GNU/Linux.

Running on non-English localized systems

Source of the problem

KSP doesn't work on some localization, because the English writes the decimal fractions with points (3.1415), and in other languages uses comma (3,1415). As a result of this, the Unity engine is attempting to use one method for writing and tries another method to read.

Command line on Steam

For starting in English localization use this command line:

LC_ALL=C ./KSP.x86

for the 64-bit version:

LC_ALL=C ./KSP.x86_64

The command lines can be used in console, placed in shell file or in the command or in the command line of menus. For Steam version the file name has to be replaced with the %command%:

<code>LC_ALL=C %command%

for the 64-bit version:

LC_ALL=C %command%_64

(See the picture on the right)

Text is missing in menus and the game

Source of the problem

The game needs Arial and Arial Black fonts not installed.

Solution

In case of Debian based systems (Ubuntu, Mint) install the "Microsoft TrueType core fonts" package (or something like this), in case of AchLinux "ttf-ms-fonts" package, and so in case of other distros too.

Mods

Source of the problem

There are no problems. The mods are usually compatible with each-others, and you do not have to pay special attention of compatibility of mod.dll -s.

64-bit version
