Hints for Playing in Full Screen ModeSo far, full-screen operation could not be tested successfully for Linux. However, when using Gnome, the panels (main menu bar above, tray below) can be hidden using the function “Hide - Show Buttons,” which – for a screen resolution of 1024x768 – also enables full-screen gaming in the 1024x768 windowed mode.
Hints for Java
To install the Java Runtime Environment or to update it after installation, please use the package management application that was installed with your Linux distribution. If you are using Ubuntu, you will first need to add a package repository to install Oracle Java 7. Please proceed as follows:

In case you have installed several Java versions in a parallel fashion, you have to pre-select Java 1.7 as the version to be used.

For operating the PlayCatan Access Software, "Java 2 Standard Edition, version 5.0," that is, J2SE 5 or Java 1.5 is required. However, we strongly recommend the use of J2SE 7, that is Sun / Orcale Java 1.7. According to our experience, our software runs more stable when using Oracle Java instead of OpenJDK (both version 6 or 7).
