[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#13454) Bug Report: Can't start a new game

["Matthew Smith" <gizmosmith@xxxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=13454 >

Platform: Ubuntu - Hoary release running on an HP laptop (p4-3GHz) with 
Gnome desktop.

Freeciv Version: 2.0.2 (from Ubuntu's repos as well as compiled from 
yesterdays source - same problem both times).

Description: When I select "Freeciv" on the Gnome menu, I get the welcome 
screen for Freeciv. When I click "Start a new game", the window freezes and 
nothing else happens. I notice by typing "ps -A|grep civ" that both the 
server and the client are running. I wait about 10 minutes with no response 
so I force-quit the client. I notice that the server is still going so I 
kill it too.

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this any further. I'd love to learn how to 
play this game but I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to play it! :)

Thanks for reading,
Matt
