Client is black with 'Server status'
« on: August 01, 2009, 05:20:39 pm »
So uh, I compiled my own client, and initially it ran... kinda. There were problems with video in which it wouldn't refresh unless another window was put over it. But that's irrelevant.

I open it one time, and the screen is black and it says "updates available", so I grab the updater from the binary and run it. It goes obnoxiously slow. Three hours later the updates are done and now whenever I launch my client it looks like this:



The terminal output: http://pastebin.com/m6178ae34

Running Archlinux 32-bit. Any ideas?

Did you get the art? Get it from another PS installation and it should work.

I have the same problem with the pslauncher application. Have you tried to start psclient?

Yes, I have the art. Like I said it was running mostly fine before I ran the updater.

As far as launching ./psclient goes it outputs: ./psclient.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libs/libCgGL.so: file too short

Which kind of befuddles me, on account of 1) it was running well before and 2) the updater (afaik) has no reason to mess with the nvidia-cg files.

ahm...not sure what the updater does. Never ran it in my complied client. I don't want it to replace my compiled binary with another one. I don't have a libs directory in the planeshift dir of the compiled client. So if you have one maybe it's worth to rename it and allow PS to use your system libs.

Hi, I've just been informed that running the updater on a compiled client is very much a bad idea.

Whoops :)
