    I'm probably not the only person affected by the coherent_ui bug but I'm hoping that someone running PA on a linux based machine is having better luck. If you are, please consider posting some info on what distro, version, desktop, and any helpful tips you may have to help get more linux users enjoying PA.
    thanks!

    If you mean "BadAccess" error then I suppose everyone affected. It's really some problem within Coherent because it's crash for Mac and Windows players too, but just in different ways.

    Kubuntu 14.04 / Kernel 3.16RC2

    Though i'm away over the summer and not currently on my home machine, i'm usually on an intel machine with nivida GPU running proprietary divers on ubuntu. I never had a problem in a live build but a few issues with PTE buillds so uber and PA definitely get two thumbs up from me. If you search my post history i have an old pc-build thread somewhere if that's of interest.

    SXX here is our local linux guru, so listen when he speaks :)
