Oolite Bulletins

I was expected to see the game in full-screen mode on one display only. On the second display I want to see normal WM with all windows I brought there. After all, that was the whole point of the two-display system for me. One display for monitoring of long-working processes, another one for "ot...

Yesterday I did an upgrade - replaced video-card and added a second display. First start of Oolite (1.77) ended with gasping for air - game took two displays as one big canvas and I flew for a while with a cross-hair exactly in the middle between two screens. When I opened options menu, I saw "...

I just updated to 1.77.0.5612 and still no sound.

we'll need more info to troubleshoot this : You seem to be using debian, which version ? Debian 6.0.1 amd64 What WM/DE do you have ? (gnome 3 uses pulseaudio, xfce uses alsa directly, KDE can use both alsa or pulseaudio, openbox uses alsa etc) . ALSA. Do other programs that use SDL for sound have p...

That is an important clue, check if the oog-files are present on your system in that location : Of course they are in place! That was the very first step I made after seeing such message in the log. No, all .ogg files are present and correct. If I open them in any of the music player - I hear the s...

still no luck

Now I see in the Oolite's log several records:
12:33:28.114 [sound.load.failed]: Could not load a sound from "/opt/Oolite/oolite.app/Resources/Sounds/laserhits.ogg".
One record for each .ogg

OK it was, in my case, just a case of installing libsdl and life is back to normal.

Could you please elaborate, which SDL package are you talking about?
I already have installed libsdl1.2debian and libsdl1.2debian-alsa, both packages are of version 1.2.14-6.1.
Which packages do you have installed?

No sound in Oolite.
Music Player and flash games are working fine.
According to Debian's Device Manager I have ALSA driver, with several files in /dev/snd:

$ ls /dev/snd/
by-path controlC0 hwC0D0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p pcmC0D1p seq timer
$

Any ideas how to fix Oolite's sound?

Solved! Solution which worked for me: a) using Synaptic Package Manager install the package nvidia-glx b) create (or modify) the /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Module" Load "glx" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Video Card" Driver "nvidia" EndSec...

Previously I had Ubuntu 10-11 (amd64) and Oolite 1.74.2 - everything was working perfectly, so I know that my hardware is powerful enough. A week ago I replaced Ubuntu (tired of the Unity) and replaced it with the Debian 6.0.1 (also amd64). Downloaded the new Oolite and... well, I am unable to play ...
