[ SOLVED ] Workaround for SEGFAULT issue - Page 3

DkySven · 05-24-2009, 09:41 AM

I ran the script from Nautilus, after giving it permission to run. My system is Ubuntu 9.04. Now I noticed that the scripts were placed in my regnum map in my home directory. I can play Regnum in safe mode, only some windows at the background flash through it, which is Compiz i guess. Thanks for this howto. I do have graphical glitches, but I do remind some post here about that, so I'll look into that.

Now edit your /etc/sudoers as per the last part of the howto (if you havnt already) and you can run RO with ~/regnum/regnum-online.sh. Safemode shouldnt be needed (in theory)

I had some graphics glickes myself until I disabled Compiz and enabled Gnome's compositing feature. Do this by using gconf-editor go to: Apps ==> Metacity ==> General And check the box that says "compositing_manager" ... although as you stated background windows do show through sometimes. I just try to keep everything minimized.

Very welcome -- this howto came from necessity as much as a willingness to help

gentoo user here...
of course segfaulting

guess i'll give a try of this chrooting thing... but first i have to dig into the problem
then i will post my stupid questions

Timvarazslo · 06-10-2009, 10:21 PM

ok i have a base sysem installed...
my question is, when you install packages into the chrooted system (for example xorg) which version does hardy install? (i think xorg 1.4.2 should be fine)
another question: which version of kernel should i use?

thanks in advance

Timvarazslo · 06-11-2009, 09:59 AM

xorg 1.4.2 won't compile
i think it's the same crash as it was in my host system, when i tried to downgrade
it seems building a base system was useless

edit:
maybe i missed something, so back to work

well, links i posted below this text are arch extra and core repository from 19-3-2009. it's pkg.tar.gz, maybe you can make something of it on gentoo, if nothing at least you will know to compare versions of kernel + xorg + catalyst.

thanks Nightchill, maybe i'll try that later

i've found a backup of my system from last autumn in my drawer
so i can now chroot in that backup but it says
"Error: unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly?"
i've tried to set $DISPLAY by hand, but no luck
do you start the regnum-online.sh script from a runnig session?

by the way: where have you all gone?

Timvarazslo · 06-11-2009, 05:21 PM

i give up, i'm really disappointed, i've managed to run the game in the chrooted env. and it's segfaulting with the same log
i tried to start an X session from the chrooted env, but i couldn't get through the "your card is too old " problem
no, i think it was "your card is not supported"

"The basic method is to create a chroot using debootstrap and configure it for running X apps under your current Xserver/desktop" - onemyndseye
running in the hosts xserver? then what's the point in chrooting?

please help! i don't even want it to work (i'm fed up), i just want to understand it...

Nightchill · 06-12-2009, 11:35 AM

well, what does glxinfo | grep direct say?

Timvarazslo · 06-12-2009, 10:48 PM

i've istalled the libtcx stuff, but i have the "video card is too old" problem
