[Linux] ATI HD3850 crash

#1 Post by lunarul »

Doesn't work on my PC. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 x86_64
Video card is ATI Radeon HD 3850

When I try starting the game (either from menu or command freeorion-start), it opens a window for 1 second then it segfaults:

Code: Select all

$ ./freeorion
Following into my basedir
CWD: /usr/local/games/freeorion/application
python2.5 found. Using it.
Segmentation fault

There have be several different problems reported with the linux version and ATI cards. If you can find an ogre.log and/or freeorion.log fises produced when trying to run freeorion, attaching these (zipped) in a reply would be helpful.

Incidently, thanks for following the IRC channel topic's suggestion to post on the forums after not getting a reply on the IRC chat.

Attached the two logs. I don't see anything in them that looks like an error.

It be the same issue discussed here: viewtopic.php?p=36905#p36905

I think he was eventually able to get things running, though I'm not sure if that was on the ATI system, and it required some rebuilding after code changes. (And those same code changes seem to cause problems for others...)
