64bit linux client doesn't save GUI info

[Constrabus Gegami]

In 64bit Linux PlaneShift, If you set the GUI around (window/toolbar positions and transparency) it will go back to the default
positioning and transparency after a successful game exit.
I know that it will not save after a crash to the desktop or a hard game shutdown, but it will not save even after a normal exit.

Anyone else with this problem?

Remember this is 64 bit. I don't know if the 32 bit version has the same issue.

Thank you!

I have the same problem.

And if I try to save quest notes the game crashes hard, without saving anything.

the new shadows under the player look very strange, moving all over the landscape from time to time

System is Linux 2.6.18.8 x86_46 + NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.11

The gui problem sounds like a write permission problem on the config files to me. Check that you have write permission to all the .cfg files in the PS dir.

The shadows seems to be a decal problem. I´ll report the problem to aarobber and hopefully get a fix for it soon.

Wouldn't have thought of trying that for a while lol

Checked everything.
All already have Read and Write permissions.

I am having similar problems with all configs.  I cannot save shortcuts or key bindings.  It appears to save them, but as soon as I log out they are lost.  Yes, it looks like a permission issue except I have the proper permissions (or should... the same installation process & directory worked fine for v.18)  I did systemwide install to /usr/local/games.

Does it only use the .cfg files in the install dir?  What would I have to do to get the files saved in my home directory (./planeshift)?  My roomie and I both play (he has own account on my box) but currently we both have to use the same configuration. We would like to each have our own.

I second this.

Machine specific config belongs to /etc/planeshift/ and user config to ~/.planeshift/

Even on Windows you can do that now.

It would also have the advantage not to loose your config on reinstall.

I only experience this on the 64 bit version of ubuntu on my laptop.  Permissions are correct, so I'm not sure what the issue is either.

[Xordan]

okay, I'll take a look and try and work out why it's doing this.

Any progress with this problem?

It seems to reach further: If I try to store quest-notes or keyboard-shortcuts the client crashes.

I had the same problem on my amd64 box, I compiled the game on my own (a static version which i copied into the folder of the planeshift directory from the binary installation) and it seems to be fixed. the gui positions get saved since then.

Any updates here? Still having this problem.

I confirmed this, on linux 64 bit, using the 0.3.019 relase binary version. But running either .019 or .020 cvs, shortcuts and the window position and transparency all save and reload correctly. So I think it will all work right when the next version is released.
