Yeah, kind of. That one place where I got stuck for quite some time could or couldn\'t be said to be just the path going on, depending on how you view it (quite literally ).

Actually, I didn\'t have opportunity yet to update to .13 on SuSE. I\'ll do so (hopefully) this evening and let you know if that changed anything. And I\'ll try out your tips.

(EDIT)

Okay, now things get interesting.

While I don\'t know what might be of interest to you in the dmesg output, here\'s some things for you to contemplate:

psc doesn\'t exist although I just ran the updater without any error.
sh -x et cetera returned \"cannot execute binary file\" (?!!!)
./psclient.bin returned \"Bus-Zugriffsfehler\" (in English: Bus access error\")

cat psclient shows the file to be not empty.

Maybe I should mail you the dmesg output? To where?

P. S. I should add that it didn\'t matter whether I ran it all under KDE or windowmaker.

(EDIT 2)

Okay, deleted everything except the arts folder and started over again. The game itself now comes up fine... only that my char is everything I see, the world around me is dark. Wait, I saw one other char gliding by, without any movement.

I\'ll have to keep working on that obviously.

(EDIT 3)

OK, with \"-fullbright\" it works, at least using the windowmaker. Seems like under KDE the artsd won\'t let the client run. Oh well, I can live with that, at least for a while

And did I... wait, I didn\'t!... so let me say that it runs much less laggy under linux, compared with my XP install! *eg*

I guess I should add that I only had notably many crashes for one afternoon. Granted that I\'m not online 24/7 *g*, but so far it seems to have been a temporary problem, maybe weekend-related...

Yup, thanks Karyuu. I\'ll try to get back into the game and city now and try again as soon as possible.

(EDIT)

For the benefit of those reading through this thread after me, it\'s working now. Discarding the quest and getting it again did the trick.

Yeah I know. Sorry if I sound sarcastic. After it has been hinted to me that I might just be talking to the wrong NPC I\'ve checked the entire warehouse area again, and I can positively confirm that it was the right one. There is only one weaver in a tent in the warehouse area. Unless, that is, Brintec\'s description to that end is faulty. *g*

Agreed 100 % - it sounds weird. But still, there\'s no error message, no nothing. It exactly looks like:

(path)> ./psclient
(path>

And nothing else. And yes, I get back to the shell prompt immediately. Not even half a second of delay.

Heya,

I left a comment referring to this problem on another thread in this particular forum already, but I\'m not sure whether it has received the proper attention (I know that from myself... once you got your firm impression of a thread, sometimes you don\'t realize if something that might point in a different direction is mentioned *g* ), so... this one:

I\'ve installed the psclient and updater according to the corresponding thread in this forum (well, before the latest upgrade that is... I didn\'t try it after that so far) and found that launching the psclient immediately returns me to the shell prompt. I get no error message whatsoever, /var/log/messages also reveals nothing of help, I just get the impression that the program finishes its task at once (yeah right, as if I wouldn\'t know it\'s supposed to do a _little_ bit more than that *g* ). Due to that I\'m currently forced to play PS on LoseXP which sucks royally *shudder*.

I\'m running SuSE 9.2 with all the latest patches and KDE 3.3.

Any ideas?

...yes I know that several GMs have announced that the carpet quest is definitely solvable. If so, there must be a bug somewhere on my side. I have tried practically _every_ possible choice of words to get that damned weaver to give me _any_ reply, and nothing works. The only reply I get is \"I don\'t understand you\".

Unless I get at least _some_ functional hint, I herewith declare this quest to be officially unsolvable. Yes I\'m frustrated. How much simpler can one choose his words than \"I need carpets\" or \"Brintec needs carpets\"?!
