Universal Linux Launcher?

Program: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ull/
Updated Games.xml: http://pastebin.com/7iw0kp9V
(Note that the ULL requires Mono, and may require additional packages such as gtk-sharp, glade-sharp, and xdelta)

thanks to Tex for bringing this option to our attention, and Katie V for sorting some things out with dependencies and updating the Games.xml file to work with the changes to CoH. it seems to be working for some right now as a viable alternative to the NC Soft Launcher.

right now, i can't get mine to work and would appreciate any help. i'm running Kubuntu 11.04.

i've tried a few methods:

1) a clean install of Architect Edition DVD and trying to update or repair.
2) pointing to an empty folder and letting ULL "repair" (ie. download a new client)

i've tried both repair methods above and, while it does download from the server, both give me .piggs with errors.

i can't try updating because the program crashes with this output:

any ideas? i could use some right about now because i'm just about out of ideas on what to do with this.

here's a thread on the CoH forum where we're trying to figure out what to do about this recent change:
