Crashing on Exit

[shadowfirebird]

1.72.2; Ubuntu Linux 8.04; Some sort of ATI graphics card (!)

Does anyone else get a complete hang when they click to exit Oolite? I have to terminate the process to end the program. (For Linux-heads: I actually have to use the dreaded kill -9!) The logs show nothing.

Obviously not a massive bug, but annoying, and perhaps the symptom of something bigger that should be fixed? Anyone know how I can get more information?

Oolite writes down a logfile (and keeps the most recent log by renaming it). Probably more information can be found in stderr.txt.

Since I use vista, I cannot tell you where to find these files in your linux installation, but those files will be there, too.

Thanks for that, but there doesn't appear to be anything useful in either of these.

For the record, standard output:

Code: Select all

$ oolite
.:3: validity error : Validation failed: no DTD found !
<plist version="1.0">
                    ^
Killed

Erk. It looks like Oolite died with an error. When making an error
report, please copy + paste the log above into the report.

Both of those look fairly normal (give or take the killed warning in StdErr). Not sure about the very first line of the log though, will have a look at home tonight.

I've got 1.72.2 running (and exiting) quite happily on my machine at home (Ubuntu 8.10), but other than that I'm just finding my feet with Linux (having installed it a few days ago for the first time) so can't be much more help I'm afraid.

Oh, and a belated welcome, greetings, salutation and alien hiya to the board, as that seems to have been overlooked.

It's cool. Thank you. It's brilliant to be playing Elite again after a gap of -- oh my -- twenty-five years?! (Although I miss my BBC analogue joystick.)

I know a bit about Linux. Pardon me if you already know this:

1) You'll find the log in your .Oolite directory which is underneath your home directory. (Files starting with a dot are often invisible, though -- you may have to fiddle with your file viewer.)

2) To see the standard error, run Oolite by typing 'oolite' in a terminal, rather than from the menus.
