xserver update stops regnum from starting.

[Mellion]

Ubuntu 7.10:
libxfont1 1:1.3.0-0ubuntu1.1
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8.1

with this security update RO doesn't start anymore. tested on 2 computers. with same resault.


MALLOC_CHECK_=1 ./rolauncher
doesn't work.


error messge:

The program 'rolauncher' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
(Details: serial 210 error_code 11 request_code 148 minor_code 5)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

[DeepThought]

I can confim this problem, and I get the same error since I installed that package.

EDIT: Mellion: should we file a Ubuntu-bug? I don't think that'd be needed, because it doesn't seem like an Ubuntu-bug, if I have understood the error message.. What do you think?

[Mellion]

I'm not an expert. I would like to hear, what ngd says about it first.

I have a similar problem with openSuSE 10.2:
roland@rolle:~/regnum_online> ./rolauncher

I just had an update of these packages:

Can you run the launcher with gdb and post a backtrace from the crash?

[DeepThought]

Ok, I probably need to rethink, and perhaps we should file a bug anyway. I'll come by later on, to check if anything has changed.. :)

Good luck in the meantime, and install the older package (you can do that in Synaptic by choosing force version [Ctlr-E] on that package).

[DeepThought]

surak: how?

gdb ./rolauncher

And then: run ?

[surak]

surak: how?

gdb ./rolauncher

And then: run ?

Yes

after crash: bt (in gdb command prompt)

then copy+paste :)

[DeepThought]

bt just returns "No stack." :-\

I'll copy+paste the output directly instead, if that works?

EDIT: There you are?

[surak]

¬¬

Let's see that then :-/

[magnet]

A good start would be giving a rolauncher built with the -g debug flag then ;). Or gdb won't help much :D.

I knew I was forgetting something :P

[Rolle]

When I start the regnum binary directly without rolauncher, the game runs. So the problem should exist in the rolauncher directly.

[DeepThought]

I tried:

gdb ./rolauncher_dbg
run - which now gives a lot less output
bt - still got the "No stack."

:(

[Mellion]

Anything new?

[surak]

Are you using compiz?

[Mikka]

Gooling "Details: serial 210 error_code 11 request_code 148 minor_code 5" results in a lot of Compiz/Fusion (still not ready for prime time IMHO) hits.

You might want to try disabling the eye-candy and see if that fixes the problem.

If that cures the issue I'd file the bug against those packages.

Good Luck!

P.S.: I'll try on my machine(s) at home tonight.

[DeepThought]

Mikka: I'm on Xubuntu, and is not using any kind of eyecandy (Compiz Fusion etc.), and the composition is disabled in Xfce. So I guess that's not the problem. At least not for me.

[Mellion]

na, no compiz on this side.

[Rolle]

I'm running Openbox without any 3D elements.

[DeepThought]

I had problem running VLC too, so it seems like a bug in the new package. I downgraded, and it works, but I'll file an Ubuntu-bug for the new package (if it's not already done).

[leptom]

Read this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/183969

While repair it, you can downgrade xorg-server and run again :)
Regards

=== Edited: How to downgrade ===

In a terminal:
$ sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-core=2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8

[surak]

I post the solution here
package xserver-xorg-core=2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8.1 is broken, you should use
xserver-xorg-core=2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8 until it's fixed.

[DeepThought]

Thanks leptom! Then I don't need to file another bug :)

I'll downgrade in the meantime.

Ok, I'll add it to the "problem index" on the spanish forum :P

PS: Information added to this thread (http://www.regnumonlinegame.com/forum/showthread.php?p=263846). Should I translate it or make an equivalent on the English forum, Surak?

[DeepThought]

Seems like "problem solved". It's working again (in Ubuntu), with the newly released *8.2-version of xserver-xorg-core (which seems to be a reversion?) and a new fix called *8.3 is on it's way out soon. Hopefully that works better...

[padreigh]

Bug is caused due to one missing symbolic link, quickfix:
