Their goal of stability (and the stability I actually get from it) is what brought me from Ubuntu to Mint. As I was saying, on Ubuntu 12.04 one of the worst things to happen was X completely freezing with Google earth. Also, as a composer, I wasn't a fan of timidity not working - it worked for a while, and then stopped, even reinstalling it didn't seem to help.SandJ wrote:So I was wrong to assume you are using a Ubuntu 12.04 derivative. Your Linux Mint 12 should be much more stable than that - especially since I now understand that is a design intention for Mint.
Interesting - they are pretty damn close, with mine now 3.2.0-030200rc4. I'm going to do some searching about xserver drivers now. Wish me luckThargoid wrote:If it's any help, theuname -a

On my Xubuntu 11.10 where Oolite runs well:CommRLock78 wrote:I wonder though if the kernel was just part of the problem and if its an xserver-xorg issue. (I'm also realizing just how many parts there to xorg). The current running version of xserver-xorg-video-intel is 2:2.15.901-lubuntu2.1 (up from ***.lunbuntu2.0 before I updated it yesterday). The xorg-core version is 2:1.10.4-lubuntu4.2. I'm curious what version you're running with on Xubuntu.

a) What about when you use the <6> key instead of <F6>?CommRLock78 wrote:F6 while docked or in flight gives the same nonsense - about a 2 or 3 second delay, and then the window starts oscillating between full screen and window (all while showing an incomplete short range chart - the top half is there, but the bottom half where the information is displayed is just black)
Honestly, I used the F6 reference because it seems to be the more "official" key-binding, I actually use the numbers 99% of the time (I did after all grow up with a TI-99/4a which didn't have Function buttons, just a function button that modified a number, so even though I just found Oolite last December, and not a long time player, I still prefer plain number buttons in this context if they're available).SandJ wrote:a) What about when you use the <6> key instead of <F6>?CommRLock78 wrote:F6 while docked or in flight gives the same nonsense - about a 2 or 3 second delay, and then the window starts oscillating between full screen and window (all while showing an incomplete short range chart - the top half is there, but the bottom half where the information is displayed is just black)
b) How do you set / view the keyboard shortcuts in Mint? Is F6 set to do something?
Damn.... so it's working? What's with the text at the top?

<Shift>-<F> shows the frame rate (FPS), how much 'stuff' is in the system (Entities), the current Time Acceleration Factor (TAF) and some other stuff.CommRLock78 wrote:What's with the text at the top?
I wonder why I have so many OpenGL drivers on in my log. I found something in the Mint forums that might help, I need to reboot and test...SandJ wrote:I do not have any NVIDIA drivers running at this point, like I do when running in Xubuntu.
