Title: Problems with Linux client, crashes when trying to connect....
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 09:55:56 am

I\'m trying to run Linux client; character creation goes fine, but when
clicking upload on char creation or trying to connect
game crashes with error:

Load TYPE plugin crystalspace.mesh.object.emit
WARNING! Object \'_p_laanx_entrance2hydlaa_plaza\' is not closed!
./psclient: line 6: 16981 Segmentation fault      ./psclient-bin
bash-2.05b$

Is this a known bug or does anybody know fix for it?

It does not happen on my computer. Since the release is new, I guess it is our first bug  :)
Can you give me more details about your Computer/OS please ?

Also did you try to run the game in software mode? OpenGL mode ?

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 10:02:49 am

OpenGL mode, char creation goes fine, until connecting...
os is Mandrake 9.1,
machine is 750duron with 384mb ram & Geforce2 mx.

Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 10:04:57 am

oh yeah, software mode doesn\'t work either, tested it too

Title:
Post by: Atanor on April 15, 2003, 10:05:36 am

Can you try Software mode ?

Also you may try different resolutions... start with 640*480.

Title:
Post by: Atanor on April 15, 2003, 10:06:55 am

hmm okay.

I guess we have our first bug   X(

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 10:08:38 am

lets say too that md5sum was correct ;-)
chmods are correct, i\'ve turned firewall off too,
just crashes when connecting :( i\'ve tried
softwaremode through etc... and yes, i do have opengl working.
i have latest drivers from nvidia etc.

Post by: Atanor on April 15, 2003, 10:17:32 am

I heard some people had their client crash at connect when it could not connect to the server... We need to determine if it\'s the same bug or not.
Which servers did you try to connect to?

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 10:22:44 am

i tried:
planeshift.fragnetics.com

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 10:25:49 am

oh yeah, i also tried removing updaterregistry and rerunning ./updater.
no help :(

Title:
Post by: Atanor on April 15, 2003, 10:27:20 am

okay... so far, there is not any problem with it...

Now I am wondering if I should build PS from sources on your computer. WOuld you mind creating me an account on your computer so that I could build PS there and see if it\'s still crashing ?

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 10:29:41 am

unfortunatly not really possible, i\'m behind nat... ssh connections work only to my server. but i\'ll try compiling source.

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 10:31:12 am

just throw me a link to correct source package :) or shall i try cvs one?

Title:
Post by: Atanor on April 15, 2003, 10:33:01 am

you can try CVS... but don\'t use the HEAD branch!!! it\'s including next release functions and could create troubles...
use the MB branch...
Also you will need Crystal Space and CEL...

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 11:16:28 am

ooh yeah, just came to my mind....
could this be glibc-related bug? since mandrake 9.1 is using
new glibc with posix threads on, just like red hat 9... some apps
like wine (got fixed already tho) and winex won\'t work with
new glibc...

Title:
Post by: Atanor on April 15, 2003, 11:23:52 am

Good question... So far, the problem will cause a dynamic linking problem when you launch the program using the wrong version of glibc. I mean that \'I\' have never seen seen any seg fault (yet) but error while loading libs or errors at linking.

The game is not crashing on my comp, the one from which I compiled the package and is running 2.3.2

Anyway, you won\'t loose anything if you try to compile it by yourself  :)

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 12:39:04 pm

yeah, i\'m compiling cvs stuff at the moment... will let you know then.

glibc problems are pretty annoying... slackware for example
does not have threads on with 2.3.2 glibc, tho mandrake and
redhat has...

Title:
Post by: Atanor on April 15, 2003, 01:19:19 pm

Yes I know about that. But anyway, all distribs will have to use it at end...

I waiting for news from you now... call me when you got everything compiled.

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 01:49:20 pm

got it compiled... now, gotta just download art data...

Title:
Post by: Atanor on April 15, 2003, 01:53:58 pm

it can be done easily... from my package.. just get the files you need there.

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 02:04:09 pm

yeah well.. with CVS version fullscreen worked...
but still crashes after \"inizialing the world..\"

with error:

CEL is searching for meshfact \'maleylian\'...Found
cel.persist.classic: Adding PC \'pcmesh\' to Entity \'Jayose\'
./planeshift: line 5: 28651 Segmentation fault      ./psclient

Title:
Post by: Atanor on April 15, 2003, 02:13:21 pm

Did you download the HEAD CVS Branch or the or the MB Branch ?

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 02:18:01 pm

well... this one:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/planeshift co -rMB planeshift

Title:
Post by: Atanor on April 15, 2003, 02:21:42 pm

okay it should be the good one. Now I wonder if this bug is Linux only...

you know a bit of debuggers?
you could recompile everything in debug mode, in order to analyse the core file and see where it did crash...

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 02:24:55 pm

yea well, not much, i write perl only .. ;-)
but you mean ./configure --enable-debug ?

Title:
Post by: Atanor on April 15, 2003, 02:29:11 pm

yes, usually that\'s enough  :)

you will need the gnu debugger then (gdb) in order to analyse the core file. or send me the core file by mail; dash@ionblast.net

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 02:33:33 pm

ookay, will do that

Title:
Post by: Sharaz on April 15, 2003, 02:46:51 pm

Just a note in between, I\'m trying to compile from CVS at the moment. I found out what went wrong last time, old cel version....
I\'ll keep you posted.

Title:
Post by: Atanor on April 15, 2003, 02:48:55 pm

Okay  :)

Title:
Post by: Sharaz on April 15, 2003, 03:37:27 pm

Atanor, I get a nice error when trying to compile PS from CVS, mind if I mail it to you?

Title:
Post by: Atanor on April 15, 2003, 03:53:23 pm

no problem, but you can put here if you want...

Anyway I am preparing a source package with good snapshots of PS/CEL and CS...

Title:
Post by: Daimoni on April 15, 2003, 09:57:43 pm

After compiling with --enable-debug it won\'t even start...

Howdy Atanor,

  Any word on this yet? :)  I\'m getting the -exact- same message
the original poster was getting.

Specs:
Mandrake 9.1
AMD 1.4 T-Bird
512M DDR
ATI Radeon 7000

I\'m able to run the gear test program fine.  Things such as TuxRacer/Stellarium all run fine.  So it\'s not a problem with the
video I don\'t believe.  I would also be able to set you up with
access to my box if you need a place to compile/test this.
I\'m not too sure how you can test something like this, but any
instructions you can send me I can sure set up for you.  Let me
know if\'n your interested and I\'ll set you up ASAP.

Jubelo

Me too. Debian Sarge. Binary 006 was working. If I compilePS by
myself from CVS it will not run. It just complains about missing iDialogManager. The new Binary is not working on my System,
as described in http://www.planeshift3d.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=3321&boardid=17&styleid=2

hey folks,

to all those compiling from cvs and getting error messages about cel/cs or missing plugins (like  \"No iDialogManager plugin!\")

I\'ve had that problem, too, but the solution is (or at least was for me) to copy the cs-config script from the crystals source directory (after you compiled crystalspace) to the cel dir and compile cel again (it should also work if you copy cs-config to the cel dir at the beginning and build cel only once...;))

Well its described in the cel readme I guess, but since there was a recent post about such problems I just posted it here...

I already tried that one. No success here.

I\'m sorry guys but you really screwed up here! I\'ve read the forum and there are a lot of people here experiencing problems with the same bug on different linux flavours on different boxes.

You really need to fix this and don\'t tell us to compile it ourselves. That\'s the worst excuse I\'ve heard. Just because you can you shouldn\'t have to compile every piece of software on your box! I\'m actually dissapointed.

Post by: Karosh_Steinkatz on November 14, 2004, 12:53:33 am

1. The MB release is very old now (almost 2 years) and the next one will be out soon. The devs are working hard on it and what\'s the point in maintaining old code that\'s far away from the current?
2. If you want something working out of the box, stick with windows. You should be used to compile something if you are a linux user, and it\'s not that hard, just follow the guide floating around.
3. Who cares about you complaining?

If you expected a better answer you should have written your post in a better way.
