Oolite Bulletins

Just tested OOlite in somewhat different configuration: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : AMD Sempron(tm) 2600+ stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 1832.677 cache size : 256 KB [..] bogomips : 3666.07 Graphics: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: AMD/ATI [Advanced...

Unfortunately, too much trouble with this: when I dug through "dependency hell" anyway, after final compilation of xserver it turned out, that ABI has been changed, and it's not enough to replace xserver (and its dependencies) alone - there's a need to replace entire X infrastructure (as I...

I don't like so much "improving" perfectly running system - but OK: I'll try tomorrow to upgrade Mesa and xserver (not whole Xorg). Maybe indeed it can help.

Could you post the Latest.log? Not much there: Opening log for Oolite version 1.80 (x86-32) under Linux 3.10.32-std410-i586 at 2014-10-22 18:44:44 +0200. 1 processor detected. Build options: OpenAL, new planets. Note that the contents of the log file can be adjusted by editing logcontrol.plist. 18:...

Ijon Tichy, kernel + mesa and Xorg all have parts of the linux graphics subsystem. Your kernel might just be to new compared to the other components. Oh, please... my distro is Slackware 14.1, not 4.1. Anyway: made two additional attempts, using kernels 3.16 and 3.10.32. You guessed the result? Yes...

I did another try, and ran the game with "strace -o oolog oolite". Here's what have been written into log until lock-up - maybe it can tell you something? execve("/usr/local/bin/oolite", ["oolite"], [/* 51 vars */]) = 0 brk(0) = 0x812f000 uname({sys="Linux", n...

I think this still can be driver related, you can try to determine if you test other games which use similar graphics libraries to reproduce your problems: I do not know exactly but maybe Extreme Tux Racer, Pingus and Supertuxcart. Just tried Pingus - no such problem. Works flawlessly. Tried also F...

Not sure about the crash problem - if you can try getting the window size to smaller than the screen size, that might help. (Also could be a hardware problem - if it's an old card maybe it's damaged? Try running a graphics stress test / diagnostics program on it?) Yes - thanks, guys - the workaroun...

Hi again, detected another problem: After kernel upgrade to current version 3.17, again I had troubles with recompilation of proprietary NVidia drivers. Being tired of this, reverted to "native" Nouveau drivers; unfortunately, it turned out, they are very slow compared to NVidia's ones. Th...

Hi, this is a machine which I use for less computing-intensive tasks - and I'm pleased, OOlite still can be seen so - equipped with K7S41GX mobo and a single-core Athlon XP 2600+ processor (1.85 GHz). While using gfx5500 inno3d graphics adaptor with proprietary NVidia driver, CPU load usually varies...

I believe it must be a bug: when browsing "market prices" table (F8) I always notice very high CPU load - contrary to much lower load when viewing any of "action screens" (when the graphics handling could require more CPU cycles). Tested the newest "recommended" version...
