Linux Startup Segfault

[wilfre]

I have a segfault on start too.

There's nothing obviously relevant in your logs. The GL version should be sufficient, and it appears to get past the initial setup of the rendering system. Are there any other message output on the command line when the segfault happens?

Could you install gdb with your package manager, and the freeorion linux debug symbols from sourcrforge for v0.3.15, and run with the debugger attached and report back results? kroddn has numerous posts discussing this, including this one: viewtopic.php?p=43942#p43942

I've deleted the package shipped by ubuntu repos and downloaded 0.3.15 with debugsymbols and run it in gdb

You have development version of Mesa 7.10 with 965 chipset. According this there are lot of changes and there could be incompatibilities between driver, mesa, xorg and maybe something else.

Based on the stack trace, you appear to be getting crashes in GG::OgreGUI::Enter2DMode. There's a change that seems to fix a particular type of this crash for some people, but it would require rebuilding FreeOrion to implement for you. If you're willing and able to do that, then please indicate this, and I can explain more. There's no guarantee this would fix your problem, but it might.

Well, building from source (getting them from RCS) is not a kind of rocket science for me. So, point me to that 'fixed' source tree, please.

Same as in this post: viewtopic.php?p=44237#p44237
