I have the same problem with Audacity. I think its related to locales of your system. At first under EN_IN it was like yours, no text at all. Then under EN_US it was all gibberish, just as it is now. I got no clue on fixing it, lazy to Google right now ..

And here's the unfixed bug report:
*bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+1.2/+bug/62300

 

[Dark Star]

Plz tell me the way to correct it .. Link is confusing me

 

[QwertyManiac]

Try setting the language to English (United States) from System > Administration > Language Support (Might require internet access)

Also I asked How to install game.. SO SOme 1 told be open .run file from Open with Application and in commands write sh , that did the job but after that .. Everey folder and file has written "plugdev" under its name.. Help urgent.

Dude I changed Language but still not working :'(

U may need to regenerate locale(en_us) using "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" and selecting en_us.

As for OP,I think the apps are using gtk1.2(old gui widget sets) rather than the gtk+2 used all over the system.
a solution will be to remove ~/.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 try it after exiting any apps which uses gtk12,for eg:gmplayer,audacity,few games as u got etc

 rm ~/.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2

if this too doesnt work,try the installation from terminal and post the error.

Ya done now Thanks Qwerty .. A restart was needed Thanks bhai

 

[QwertyManiac]

Got your game installed?

 

[Dark Star]

Ya installed but there are some driver error .. Can't play but the same game ran like charm in Windows

 

[praka123]

^sometimes copying teh missing .dlls from ur windows(if u have) installation to ~/.wine/ dir can help.btwn didnt u tried cedega

 

[Dark Star]

^^ Naa naa .. Its Linux game for Windows.too. I mean for both I downloaded the .run file and installed using sh command now installed without any prob .. but game did not running wait telling u the error

The error was something related to AGP memory Donno how to fix it

 

[praka123]

^there shud be some ".log" file created.u can go through it to know what dependencies are missing.
I mean,even better u can try running the game from terminal and post the error mesgs here.

 

[Dark Star]

^^Is there a driver update for Intel Extreme Graphics 2 for Linux and how to run it thru Terminal

 

[praka123]

^ driver update for intel?U may think of getting Xorg 7.3 backport(if available) for Ubuntu Feisty!GIYF.there are two drivers for intel boards xserver-xorg-video-i810 and xserver-xorg-video-intel.I dont know if any difference are there.there are many hacks available for intel boards for eg:like 915resolution etc.
Dont download and install Debian drivers in Ubuntu
*packages.qa.debian.org/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel.html

 

[Dark Star]

^^Got an error .. Conflicts with installing package xserver xorg video i810

 

[praka123]

^yeah.u need to remove the other driver(i810).use any of the driver(s).
edit:hey!dont download and use debian drivers in Ubuntu!it errs.
if u tried such,
In terminal,

sudo apt-get install -f

instead goto *ubuntuforums.org and search for Xorg 7.3 backports from Gutsy Gibbon.

 

[Dark Star]

 sudo apt-get install -f

Updates system instead I think so Btw how to remove old driver

 

[praka123]

@shashwath-if u really want try:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel-modesetting

^ i dont know what does it provides;may be a better support for 965chipsets.
open synaptic manager(it will show broken deps) and install above package.

Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Package xserver-xorg-video-intel-modesetting is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  xserver-xorg-video-intel

The following error I got

 

[praka123]

oh..K,@no new drivers on Ubuntu(Xorg)...satisfy with xserver-xorg-video-intel or xserver-xorg-video-i810.that's all.
