Oolite version 1.76.1 Refuses To Start

[Geraldine]

Well I did try everything I could think of. I even thought about reformatting a 1TB drive full of data to try and get Oolite operational again. Soooooooooooo glad it didn't come to that. A simple switch, who would have guessed? Thank goodness another_commander came along. Thanks to him, The Jay Miner's Revenge flies again in the Ooiniverse!

Seems my issue fits in here: After updating (Suse 11.4 to 12.3) and Oolite to 1.77 I get the following message in

~/.Oolite/Logs/Latest.log

"Opening log for Oolite version 1.77 (x86-64) under Linux 3.7.10-1.16-desktop at 2013-09-08 19:35:48 +0200.

Note that the contents of the log file can be adjusted by editing logcontrol.plist.

So it seems to me, that my computer does not supply a certain video mode needed (1280x800), but I am stuck - what do I have to do?

(I unsuccessfully tried "oolite -nosplash")

I run Suse12.3 with Nvidia6x Driver.

thanks,

Seems my issue fits in here: After updating (Suse 11.4 to 12.3) and Oolite to 1.77 I get the following message

Could be trying to start up fullscreen in a mode that no longer exists for you. Try editing ~/GNUstep/Defaults/.GNUstepDefaults - you might get something like

Code: Select all

	<key>display_height</key>
	<integer>800</integer>
	<key>display_refresh</key>
	<integer>0</integer>
	<key>display_width</key>
	<integer>1280</integer>
	<key>fullscreen</key>
	<string>YES</string>

in the Oolite section of the file.

Try either changing fullscreen to NO, or display_height to 1024, and see if that fixes the problem.

You could also try changing your desktop resolution to a lower one and then retry...
