Installation

[Taccs]

Hey, im usuing the newest copy of Ubuntu Feisty. I'm a complete beginner to linux and for some reason I seem to be the only person who can't even install the game, now it's probably a really silly reason but here is what I try to do, and what happens:

Download rolauncher.tar.gz from website, unpack and chmod +x the rolauncher file.

After that I ./rolauncher and everything goes fine, I accept the licensing agreement and then takes me to a page that says enter account name and password etc so I do that and hit entrar button and i get an error in the terminal saying Segmentation Error (core dumped) nothing else.

Also i'm behind a router but i can sudo apt packages fine :S im so lost

Try downloading the files again.

(And I didn't have to chmod the files)

[Taccs]

to be honest man i've redownloaded these files about 4 times and 2 different ways, still nothing

It's not an internet thing, so we can discard any connection problem...

It is, in fact, one of the files the game uses... The problem here is to know which of them. Can you post the error_backtrace and error files on the live folder of the game (if there are any of them), please?

[Taccs]

that's the thing there are none, here is all it has in the live folder:

System.nfo:

- Vendor Name: GenuineIntel
- Model Name: INTEL Pentium-III
- Family: 6
- Model: 8
- Stepping: 6

[GPU]
- OpenGL Support: 0
- Shader Model: Fixed Pipeline
- GPU Info:

[ArcticWolf]

Don't you get to a screen where it has the following options? Salir, Opciones, Jugar?

[Taccs]

No, the first post states i don't even install the game, i just download the tar unpack it run ro launcher it tells me to accept a license agreement so i do that then enter password and username so i do that hit entrar and thats it crash segmentation error and nothing is installed

[GPU]
- OpenGL Support: 0

Doesn't that mean that there is no support for opengl??
What Graphic Card are you using and which drivers do you have installed?

[dejan]

I get the same (Segmentation fault) after the login dialog too, on my laptop with Fedora 7.


[dejan@mrak regnum]$ ./rolauncher

Since ATI did not yet released GNU/Linux drivers for kernel 2.6.21 i am forced to use Mesa3D - all other games that I play (Eternal Lands, Glest, Warzone2100, Globulation2, ...) work fine.

[wakim42]

Mesa3D dont support openGL so you have to use fglrx (ati proprietary driver) and yes the last one work for 2.6.21 (at least it works for me)

[Froste]

Actually mesa is opengl using the software renderer

[dejan]

With all respect sir/madam, You have no idea what Mesa3D is, if You claim it does not support OpenGL... Please read more about this popular open-source project on http://www.mesa3d.org . Latest Mesa3D supports OpenGL 2.1.

@Froste Mesa3D also has hardware acceleration for numerous graphics cards. (From mesa3d.org: The DRI hardware drivers for the X.org server and XFree86 provide hardware accelerated rendering for chips from ATI, Intel, Matrox, 3dfx and others on Linux and FreeBSD.)

[Froste]

Of course it has hardware acceleration too. I thought this was implied.

[leptom]

You need mesa 6.5.3 to play.Ubuntu, for example, have mesa3d 6.5.2.

Regards!

[Myxir]

glxinfo | grep rendering

in your terminal and you wil see if there is 3D support.

[toxigenicpoem]

Yes you will need to install the latest ATI drivers, and 8.37 is working for the latest Kernel update.

[dejan]

Guys... there is NO need for proprietary ATI driver if you have Mesa3D because, as we said in previous posts, Mesa3D offers ACCELERATED (HARDWARE) GRAPHICS (OPENGL) !!!!!

For those who after all we said recommended to execute "glxinfo | grep rendering":

[root@mrak ~]# glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes


Furthermore:

[root@mrak ~]# glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 AGP 1x x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 6.5.2
OpenGL extensions:


With ALL DUE respect, please stop talking about Mesa if you did not try it, or have no clue what it is, or have just heard about it.

For those who know what I am talking about: Could it be that this problem occurs because installer needs some specific VISUAL which is perhaps not supported here?

i know that u need OpenGL 2.1 version, surak said that some weeks age in the spainsh forum

[leptom]

With Mesa3D 6.5.3 you can play Regnum online. I play with it.

Sorry for repeat me.

Regards!

[dejan]

Thanks guys for some usefull information - I'll just download Mesa3D 7.0 and build it here until RPMs come.

Kind regards!
