Live crashes on Ubuntu Lucid amd64

[Ertial]

When I tried to launch Regnum Online on an up-to-date version of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Beta 1 my system suddenly started to run very slow, the starting music was played twice and Regnum Online crashed after a while, which gave me back the control over my system.

It seems that some libGL problems caused the crash. This isn't very unlikely considering the fact that libGL has been moved around a lot in Ubuntu's current development release (Lucid).

I'm running the closed Nvidia drivers as provided from the repository:

Hm, I m running Lucid too, and had no problems with Regnum so far. Though I get almost same crash log on Amun, when I zoom out camera.
I have ATI with Mesa/DRI.

[Arafails]

Well nVidia drivers completely replace the OpenGL driver stack, sharing no code with Mesa, so...

At any rate, I'd suggest the OP could try using an alternate version of the nVidia drivers if possible.

[Ertial]

Yes, this is most likely limited to the Nvidia drivers. They underwent a major restructure in Lucid and the way libGL was provided has also changed.
I suspect that NGD needs to adapt Regnum in order to work with this new way.

[Znurre]

Well, NVidia has its own libGL, so whatever Ubuntu did to the OpenGL stack (as Ara pointed out) it should not affect the NVidia drivers.

[znurre@Znurre ~]$ pacman -Ql nvidia-utils | grep libGL
nvidia-utils /usr/lib/libGL.so
nvidia-utils /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
nvidia-utils /usr/lib/libGL.so.195.36.15
nvidia-utils /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1
nvidia-utils /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.195.36.15[znurre@Znurre ~]$ pacman -Q nvidia
nvidia 195.36.15I am using the latest NVidia drivers on ArchLinux, which is very bleeding edge, and have no problems whatsoever.
The problem does not lie in NGD or the latest NVidia drivers.

[Ertial]

We've changed the way the OpenGL implementation was named, where it was located and how it was linked a few times when the package layout for the closed drivers was changed.

It could have gone wrong there.

The game seems to work now, I don't know what made it work again, but it does.

Maybe you've changed the way the OpenGL implementation was named, again.

[Ertial]

No, there was no update for the 'nvidia-current' package.

[Arafails]

I find it incredibly hard to believe the idea that changing the location of some libraries would cause a crash in those libraries.
In libraries referencing them, maybe, if they were not in the search path properly, but libGLcore.so is pretty danged low-level.

I know this thread is sort of old, but the problem was never solved, and now I haz dem.

This and installing the Nvidia-beta drivers from Aur. Damnedest thing, I don't know why those were even installed in the first place... came with the default mesa package :(

Edit: I take that back. It launched the game, but only got 1fps, then it dawned on me that I hadn't restarted , so I did, and then made sure teh correct module loaded, and after all that... Same error as with the stable drivers. :(

[Raideniza]

Somewhere on this forums is Arathael's fix for libGl issues. Try searching for his started threads.

[Vythica]

Update: Safemode works.

Anything else crashes the game. With the same segafault.

[Arafails]

Somewhere on this forums is Arathael's fix for libGl issues. Try searching for his started threads.
That workaround was for a bug where glFlush was being called without an active context, and only affected the 7.5+ Mesa drivers (no useful nVidia driver). Having pointed out where the issue appeared to be Surak had removed the offending piece of code by the end of the week, too, so...

@Vyth: do you have a more complete backtrace than that perchance?
