problem with ubuntu gutsy and nvidia drivers

HGL · 09-14-2007, 02:35 AM

Hi regnum fellows!

The problem started when i upgraded from (ubuntu) Feisty to Gutsy.
In Feisty Regnum worked like a charm, but now in Gutsy it doesnt. If i use Kde i can make regnum to start but the starting demo runs WAAAYY to fast. And the game runs about 1-5 fps. Even when i toyed with setups and turned all 'eye candys' off i still didnt got any major improvement.I didnt got any backtraces or error reports so hard to say what was the problem in there.
But in Gnome the game wont even start and will give me this. I hope some one gets something out of it.
backtrace.txt

My computer details:
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 7800 GS/AGP/SSE2/3DNOW!
OpenGL version string: 2.1.1 NVIDIA 100.14.11

model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+
cpu MHz : 2419.838
MemTotal: 1035376 kB (1Gb)

i hope this helps

show me output of

glxinfo | grep -i direct

and if you're using an agp card, show me output of

cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status

See older post, launch the game using

Quote:

MALLOC_CHECK_=0 ./rolauncher

Hope it helps.

Froste, 'direct render' is yes. And i use agp card. Here's the agp/status:

Quote:

:~$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
Status: Enabled
Driver: AGPGART
AGP Rate: 8x
Fast Writes: Disabled
SBA: Enabled

magnet, done that. Same result :S

I even tried other games, if the problem is there too, but nope. All other games ran nice and smoothy.

post the output of glxinfo please.

i dont know but... nvidia needs tmpfs file system mounted? i need it.

try adding this to your fstab:

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

and then:

sudo mount -a

I dont want to be a sceptic but i'm pretty sure glxinfo doesnt help u much. But i still link it to here. And i tried to mount tmpfs with no help.

the agp module is loaded?

try lsmod | grep agp

Froste · 09-14-2007, 04:31 PM

ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so*
