Description

Mostly it is related to numbers or multiple choices. It can appear in contracts, crew recovery, when you load craft in the Editor and when you load saved game.
It appears not only with Russian version. When I switch it to English, I still get it.
With English I get this even when loading save games, if save game is Sandbox or Science. It doesn't matter which version you use to create such savegame or craft file.

I use x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04 with
LANG=en_US.utf8
LANGUAGE=en_US

Thanks for reporting this ThirdOfSeven, could you please attach your player.log found in

Thanks for the update.

Your log reveals that you have a missing dependency. This prevents the grammar engine (Lingoona) from being able to process the strings into readable text.

I am unable to reproduce your missing dependency on Ubuntu 17.04 32bit and 64bit using the Steam Launcher available from the Ubuntu Software store.

Unfortunately we are unable to provide any further support here because this is a system problem and not a bug, but the following advice may help:

Please ensure that your OS and packages are up to date. Obtaining a compatible Steam client directly from your distro repository is also advised. For example, the installer available from Steam may not correctly set the environment for your machine.

The following will reveal the dependencies required to run KSP.

Open a terminal and change to

~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Kerbal Space Program/

Run the following command
ldd KSP.x86

This will display the required libraries, and where it expects to find them. It will also identify which are missing. This information may be useful to while seeking advice on how to fix the problem.

Please do use our Technical Support forum where other Linux players may be able help, and of course your favorite Linux support portal.

Nothing is missing here, actually:

It reveals the problem to me. Looks like lingoona use newer version of libstdc++ to build lingoona shared library and it is not present in Ubuntu 14.04 wihtout using PPA to install GCC 4.9.

But 14.04 is recommended version in steam store page. Please update.

Thank you for the feedback, it is most useful. I am now able to confirm that Lingoona is unable to load the libs in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
This has now been forwarded to the correct people for investigation.

Any news ? It should just be a matter of recompiling the lib targetting an older version of glibc.

Pretty sure it will be fixed in 1.3.1. Not earlier.

I have no idea when 1.3.1 is planned, but I'd expect some signs of life, if the problem was actually fixed and just awaiting a release. (and since it's just 1 file, it could be easy to "private beta pre-release").

We have made some changes in this last 1.12.0 release and would like some feedback on this issue. Thanks.
