FreeOrion

Posted: **Fri Feb 12, 2010 2:14 pm**

I'm having the same issue, but this time in Ubuntu Karmic (9.10), on an iMac from mid 2005 (Radeon card, free drivers). I get a segmentation fault right at program launch both with revisions 3111 and 3323.

Please tell me what other information can I provide to help fix this issue.

The OpenGL version that your computer supports would be helpful. Apparently "glxinfo" can tell you this, from what I've heard. If the version is less than 1.5, it might not be possible to run FreeOrion on that system.

Could it be that the GLX version is 1.2? If so, is that a matter of software or hardware? Can I fix it somehow?

Thanks for your help, by the way.

GLX is different from the OpenGL version. The relevant part is the version string that starts with 1.5, which should be enough to get the game started, although it might cause problems if certain options aren't disabled when trying to start a game, but you're not at the point yet. So that's probably not the cause of your crashes.

Since you're on Ubuntu, and there have been a bunch of crashes on Ubuntu, it might be this bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=de ... tid=544942

What does your segmentation fault say? If it's that problem, then I don't know of anything that can fix it now.

Hello again. The segfault isn't quite the same as in the bug you point to. Mine outputs, with FreeOrion 0.3.13 rev3111:

To clarify, it's crashing immediately when you start the program, or only after you try to start a game?

If you're able to run 3323, then what 3111 doesn't look like it's important for this issue.

Regardless, I don't have much to go on here... It's probably some sort of library, driver or distribution incompatibility issue with OGRE... Unless you can compile yourself and add some debug output or trace through execution, I don't think I'll be able to isolate the problem.

Posted: **Sun Feb 21, 2010 2:48 pm**

Both 3323 and 3111 segfault right after launching the program: it gets to display a black window centered in the screen, with the title of the window showing the running version of FreeOrion, and then segfaults (and the window disappears). It's perhaps a matter of two seconds or so.

I'm not able to run neither 3323 nor 3111, for the record. Both segfault in the same manner.

I could compile and add the flags you tell me to, if you tell me how.

I've compiled software before, but I'm in no way a programmer.

Posted: **Mon Feb 22, 2010 10:15 am**

Do you hear any sound before the crash? Making sure your audio drivers are up to date might help. That's really just a guess, though.

I suppose it's worth trying running "freeorion -f" to run in fullscreen... maybe that'll magically fix things? Also a shot in the dark.

Compiling FreeOrion is a bit complicated. I can't give you instructions, but others have written them on the wiki: http://freeorion.org/index.php/Compile

Posted: **Mon Feb 22, 2010 10:48 am**

I believe I hear some slight 'pop' from the speakers when the window pops up, but I'm not quite sure -- it could be my imagination. Also, fullscreen segfaults the same.

I'll try compilation as soon as I can.

Confirm the same situation in debian testing (32-bit), nvidia (gf6200) graphic card -
# ./freeorion

Please compile FreeOrion from svn.

Posted: **Thu Nov 25, 2010 11:54 pm**

compiled the game, using manual for linux:

Code: Select all

# installed dependencies

patch -p0 <graphviz.patch
# compiled freeorion
cd FreeOrion
cmake .
make

then launched ./freeorion and got next:

mobil% ./freeorion
zsh: segmentation fault ./freeorion

what should i do next?
maybe, my nvidia gf6200 does not support shader model 3, as had been said in compile manual in part 'Runtime Errors'?

Segmentation Fault
If after compiling everything, you run freeorion and get a segmentation fault:
$ ./freeorion
Segmentation fault
...
* You have graphic card which doesn't support shader model 3 or above(Nvidia 6600 and above have, some AMD HD series also). There are known problems with AMD drivers on Linux. In future there will be functional Gallium driver(r300g or r600g) in Mesa. These new drivers will be available probably in Ubuntu 11.04.

if so, can i compile freeorion without need of that support?

Posted: **Fri Nov 26, 2010 12:43 am**

Please delete your config.xml from /.freeorion and try again.

I had Nvidia 6600 GT and had no problem with FreeOrion. Please post your logs. But I don't know what is difference between 6600 and 6200. Do you have proprietary drivers from Nvidia?

And post your ogre_plugins.cfg after freeorion compilation if is correct.

Posted: **Sun Nov 28, 2010 2:34 am**

ok, so:

# moved away .freeorion folder
mv ~/.freeorion ~/.freeorion_bkup
# ran freeorion
mobil% ./freeorion
zsh: segmentation fault ./freeorion

here is ~/.freeorion/ogre.log and ./ogre_plugins.cfg -

mobil% cat ./ogre_plugins.cfg
# Ogre 3D engine plugins to load

# Plugin folder
PluginFolder=/usr/lib/OGRE

# Plugins
Plugin=RenderSystem_GL
Plugin=Plugin_ParticleFX
Plugin=Plugin_OctreeSceneManager
Plugin=Plugin_CgProgramManager

and, yes, i have proprietary drivers from nvidia

Posted: **Sun Nov 28, 2010 10:40 am**

Loading Cg is not necessary

Loading library /usr/lib/OGRE/Plugin_CgProgramManager
04:31:12: Installing plugin: Cg Program Manager
04:31:12: Plugin successfully installed

and there is missing revision number. Something is wrong. You should debug. Howto is on wiki linux compile howto.
