Tried starting FTL and received the following on the command-line:

Initializing Video
libGL error: failed to load driver: r600
libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details.
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
Serial number of failed request: 30
Current serial number in output stream: 31

This has been seen on the FTL forums here: http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3499

Problem was solved by removing the libstdc++.so.6 file from ~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/FTL Faster Than Light/data/amd64/lib

Same problem here; the proposed solution works for me too.

SSecretAgentKen 2013-01-10 github

Koromix, I'm assuming you are on 12.10? I do not get this issue on my 12.04 machine, only the 12.10 one.

I'm having the same problem (its also causing the Window Manager to crash :( ). I've also checked a few things. I downloaded FTL directly from humblebundle ( old download - release prior to Dec 22, 2012). From the FTL data directory,

Compared with (from ~/Steam/SteamApps/common/FTL Faster Than Light/ and new version from humble bundle, which are identical (version released Dec 22, 2012) ):

The following files are different:

./x86/bin/FTL
./resources/data.dat
./resources/resource.dat
./amd64/bin/FTL

However, the old binaries from the humble bundle version work correctly without deleting the library. So the problem is with the main executable and its interaction with the included libstdc++.so.6 ... this is unfortunate.

Some system details; using unity as a WM.
