[LINUX] umovestr: Input/output error

#1 Post by judebert »

Hi. I used to love Stars!, but now I'm a F/OSS junkie, so I figured I'd give FreeOrion a try.

I tried to compile it under Ubuntu Feisty, but scons complains about the boost version being too old. So I went for the statically linked version. I checked to make sure I had all the dependencies from the README installed, but it's possible I missed something.

It flashes a black screen, then exits. Here's the command line output:
$ strace -f -o /tmp/strace ./freeorion
Following into my basedir
CWD: /work/notwork/fo/freeorion/application
umovestr: Input/output error
umovestr: Input/output error
ptrace: umoven: Input/output error
And I've attached the strace for your perusal.

I see some very unfamiliar outputs in your strace. Which OS are you using? Which version of FreeOrion is involved?

Can you give the output of "ldd /work/notwork/fo/freeorion/application/freeorion"?

Most problems are related to openGL not beeing version >=1.5. Do you see the main menu? If so, try running with parameter:

Code: Select all

./freeorion --UI.galaxy-gas-background 0

Same one I tried to compile under, Ubuntu Feisty.

I downloaded latest.tar.gz from your site yesterday. I don't see anything that indicates the version.

I just get a black flash, no main menu. Same thing when I use the no-gas background.

Thanks for the help!
