hi all.

I installed Oolite 1.74.2 on my computer through the autopackage download and when it starts up i get these error messages:

Code: Select all

2011-01-24 13:53:46.329 oolite[19289] File NSUserDefaults.m: 626. In [NSUserDefaults +standardUserDefaults] Improper installation: No language locale found
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'

ALSA lib pcm.c:2208:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

and i was just wondering what they mean and how to fix them if possible. also when it starts up in windowed made it's in a small box and when i try to change the resolution with F11 and shift F11 or F2 for a menu like it says when you first start it nothing happens and when i make the window as big as the screen (with the box at the top of the window.) the fps goes down to 1 to 2 fps. any idea's on any of my problems?

I'm using fluxbox and my hardware is:

Hi-grade 8615 GTK
intel celeron m cpu 420 1.60GHz
768MB total RAM,1 x samsung 256MB and 1 x Transcend 512MB
FUJITSU MHV2040AH 40GB
VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP intergrated 64MB P4M890

The first error message can be safely ignored. Oolite does default to english in any case. The other messages seem to say that you haven't got a sound card, or at least that Ooite doesn't see it. Is the alsa sound system installed properly on your computer?

And about your fps, maybe Oolite isn't aware of your graphic card's capabilities. Which version of opengl is reported on the log? And how many opengl extensions does Oolite list there?

Wait, s3g you say? Their cards aren't that capable as far as opengl goes, so it's very liikely there isn't much anybody can do to speed uo the fps, I'm afraid...

You could try one of the following workarounds:
1. If your system has libportaudio.so.2 installed(check in your /usr/lib folder):

Code: Select all

$ cd /usr/lib/Oolite/oolite-deps/lib/          # could be ~/.local/lib/Oolite/oolite-deps/lib/ if you installed without giving a password
$ sudo mv libportaudio.so.2 libportaudio.so.2.oolite

See if this eliminates the messages.
If not then restore the name of the library and try the following:

Code: Select all

$ cd /usr/lib/Oolite/oolite-deps/lib/          # could be ~/.local/lib/Oolite/oolite-deps/lib/ if you installed without giving a password
$ sudo cp -p libespeak.so.1 libespeak.so.1.portaudio
$ sudo cp -p libespeak.so.1.pulseaudio libespeak.so.1

If this does not solve the issue, try a combination of both suggestions.
In any case if your problem is not solved, rollback to the initial libraries' names.

When i did this:

$ cd /usr/lib/Oolite/oolite-deps/lib/          # could be ~/.local/lib/Oolite/oolite-deps/lib/ if you installed without giving a password
$ sudo cp -p libespeak.so.1 libespeak.so.1.portaudio
$ sudo cp -p libespeak.so.1.pulseaudio libespeak.so.1

It froze on the start screen.

Do you get any other sounds even without Oolite running?
Silly question... but I had to ask!
