Start the terminal, go into the folder where Main.py resides, and then type ./Main.py (or maybe it is ./main.py, letter case matters in Linux) in the terminal. Main.py will most likely output some error text, but this time the terminal window will not disappear. Maybe the text will be enough for you to understand what is wrong, and you can copy/paste the text here if you don't understand it.

Grognak, any headway on what is causing the error I am having, been trying a few more times and still no luck

I have installed gmm, and activated it, and the mods show up and the context text box comes up and says it unpacks and everything, but when I start ftl, nothing new. Halp?

Here's what I typed in and here's what it kicked out:

micah@Micah-Laptop:~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/FTL Faster Than Light$ python main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 5, in <module>
from Tkinter import * # I know, I know, bad practice
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 42, in <module>
raise ImportError, str(msg) + ', please install the python-tk package'
ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package

EDIT: Nevermind I fixed it. I read the error message and realized I was missing the python-tk package. After I installed it the program booted up just fine.

This is probably a stupid question but , how do you ( or can you ) turn the mods on and off ?

Select no mods and patch the game. This restores the normal unmodded game.

is it possible to mod the steam version? no matter what i do, even after adding the scrap advantage mod ad patching, nothing new happens... ive been trying to install the no rebel fleet, but it wont wrk :'(

Yes it's possible to mod the Steam version.

Do you have several versions of the game installed? Are you sure all the files are at the proper place when you try to mod the game?

I'm using Linux. Running main.py I get the following error in the terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 417, in <module>
allowzip = cfg.getboolean("settings", "allowzip")

Are you sure you extracted all the files? It seems the configuration file is missing.
