Flight Gear


An upgrade was available on Ubuntu Update Manager for flight gear simulator.

So I clicked to proceed.Very bad news, as fgfs would no longer run!

Stopped after stating missing a shared library.
I thought it was a SimGear 2.6.0 dependency issue.
The solution was to add
"deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ precise-getdeb games"
installation line to "sources.list" in etc/apt and update apt.

FGFS now works,but FGRUN the graphical front-end doesn't.
I'm sure it won't take long to get that front-end or use another such as FGO!
Update Manager made fgrun work, system back to normal.
