I certainly had no luck with the 190 drivers myself... you might?

it may be something querky with my particularly hardware... either way though, i've pretty much given up... i've been at it trying to get the thing to work on and off for about a month and its just too frustrating. I have tried so many different combinations of software versions between nvidia, mule and java its just rediculous. Normally it doesnt take me too long to figure out what might be wrong with something (even if i cant fix it)... but this one is just impossible and i'm kinda sick of reading output of things like strace and the like.

I've have the exact same problem myself (and never had a working version)... i've tried it with several different versions of mule (1.1.1, 1.2.0 and 1.2.3 are in my download area and i just tried those again, all of them do the same thing).

Im on ubuntu 9.10 with nvidia 190 drivers (i originally upgraded to the 190 drivers because this problem).

there was another post lying around about this too... http://www.planetmule.com/forum?topic=439.msg2149#msg2149

Im using sun java... though i've tried different versions without much luck... Chat works, just cant join/add ai at all.

Also worth pointing out that when i go to the settings dialog, i cant change the bound keys either. Maybe its a locale/input problem? UPDATE - actually, i just realised that unless i move out of the box where the key is typed, it doesnt actually update the key (so user problem). Though, thats the least of my problems really  .

I tried upgrading to the 190 nvidia drives from the nvidia site without any change..

Somethign else though, mine doesnt use 100% cpu once its loaded, during the load it peaks out at about 150% cpu, but i get to the screen (see attached) other people are talking about and then it just drops back to a negligible amount of cpu usage (both with 185 and 190 nvidia drivers).

I seem to be having the exact same problems though when i do the "local" game, i can type text into chat (though A and J dont work).

im on ubuntu 9.10, intel core 2 duo, nvidia with the 185 drivers from the repo
