ahh now then that is an easy fix open your terminal. So why mess around lets resinstall all of the opengl packages.

type in su ( we want to work as root so now enter your system password)

copy paste this line if your using debian

sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian libsdl-image1.2 zlib1g libogg0 libvorbis0a libopenal1 libcurl3

copy and paste this line if your using a redhat distro

sudo yum install SDL SDL_image zlib libogg libvorbis openal-soft libcurl

libcurl is a very much underestimated bit of kit.. Basically without it you will not get onto the masterserver. I know this because I spent a week messing around with a router and firewalls when libcurl was the issue.
let me know how you get on as you may have to do some other work on it. In mine I resinsalled AC and put a direct link to it.
What distro are you using btw.

tomorrow will telll you how i get round it with shells is easy but a faillure of mint and unbunu#

and hoe
do not comment unless helpful xd sheep shagger

just out of interest do you have a broadcom wifi on your lappy.

Broadcom has a massive history with linux, there has always been issues with STA

I managed to get it running with linux mint and also bodhi, puppy was hard work though

tell me why are you using ubunti its soooo slow
and a pain front end
if you want a simple to use distro out of the box try Mint .
I know mint has a few problems with openal etc as I found out later lol

But bodhi is great.. But as you say broadcom are not the best wifi adverts are they..

haha badger lol
