new logon problem i think(invalid pointer: 0x0ace3a2c)
« on: March 05, 2006, 11:07:55 am »
order of events:
1,opened psclient
2,put in username and pass
3,client closes itself
4,same as above but from konsole
5,check konsole for debug messages
6,see the following:

linux:~ # /opt/planeshift/psclient
DEBUG: Sound System: Software Renderer Initializing..
DEBUG: Sound System: Configured for driver [crystalspace.sndsys.software.driver.oss]
Sound System: OSS driver for software sound renderer initialized.

planeshift.application.client:
  PlaneShift Crystal Blue
  This game uses Crystal Space Engine created by Jorrit and others
  0.99 r0 [Unix-x86-GCC]
All LOGS are off.
Mounting skin: /this/art/skins/default.zip
Mounting skin: /planeshift/art/skins/base/client_base.zip
  psEngine initialized.
Using fontsize 20 for resolution 1280x1024
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0ae3335c ***
Aborted
linux:~ #

7,came to the conclusionthat this line is to blame *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0ae3335c *

any help is needed

p.s. already tryed resarting my xwindow session

*edit*

ok foud problem and fixed,

the updater for linux recognises the fact that my machine is x68_64Bit
so naturaly it attempts to sort out plainshift to run in x86_64 mode BUT it doesn\'t realise that my linux(suse10.3) does not seem to like x86_64 mouse and graphics commands so it messes the whole game up buy trying to make it x86_64 compatible and thus breaks it!

The Solution:
delete the entire planeshift folder from /opt/ and reinstall from scratch and just don\'t update untill a new critical release is out!

hope this helps other people with my problem!

Please avoid posting two or more successive posts before others have replied. Just edit your last post to add new information :) Thanks! --Karyuu

Yeah, that\'s not really a good solution...  This crash is the same Linux only crash that was in the updater.  It\'s caused by a redundant delete[] after reading the version.dat file.  After a run of the updated updater, delete that file and the client should run.  (it\'ll nag you to update, because it\'ll have nothing to check against)  The client is already fixed in CVS, and a proper package should be put out and on the updater at some point.
