I just installed splice from the humble bundle, and I get a blank screen on startup. I can hear the audio, and if I move my mouse around, I can hear the menu items or something changing.

I have an amd radeon HD5800 series. I'm using the fglrx-updates driver on 12.10, fully updated.

Any ideas of things to try? Full screen or windowed, I get a blank window. Also, other GL games are running just fine.

How will people upgrade from 12.10 to 14.04 after 13.04 is EOL?

Looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases 13.04 will reach EOL in January 2014, while 12.10 will reach EOL in April 2014, therefore if a 12.10 user hasn't upgraded to 13.04 and subsequently to 13.10, there will be a 3 month period where a 12.10 user has a supported version of Ubuntu, but will be… >>> More
