Xorg6.8.2 Lbreakout2 and Frozen-bubble don't work

Greycloack · 2005-02-18 10:01:09

Hi,

The title pretty much says it all... I updated my Xorg to 6.8.2 and lbreakout2 and Frozen-bubble pretty much stopped working.

The window opens, black, and then it's stuck and I have to kill it. The process not the X-server.

Don't know why this is, mybe it's something to do with SDL but it's just a guess....

Also, running Diablo2 under wine now only works in window mode (full screen has graphic glitches) but it's not native linux so who knows...

Other things work fine as far as I can see.

Specs :
i855GM, using the i810 driver with DRI.

just a guess I had to drop back sdl_mixer to get sound back in frozen bubble

not yet upgraded xorg ;-(

Lbreakout2 is working fine for me. If you start lbreakout2 from an x terminal, what error messages do you get, if any?

Greycloack · 2005-02-18 16:32:39

this is what I get :

[omri@shabimobile ~]$ lbreakout2

and then it's stuck... can't even ctrl+c it or something...

No error messages...

if both require sdl rebuild and reinstall sdl. if that deosn't work try rebuilding and reinstalling both apps. if either suggested solution works then file a bug report and tell them what the bug is and how you solved it.

Greycloack · 2005-02-18 21:26:41

Tried reinstalling...
didn't help... guess it needs something more serious but I don't have time for this now, I'm afraid... imaybe someone else will solve it before me...

sarah31 · 2005-02-18 21:35:38

hurm ... i said REBUILD and reinstall not just reinstall . we already know it does not work so putting the same thing in will do nothing.

scottro · 2005-02-21 15:04:17

I also ran into this issue. Following Sarah's advice, I removed sdl_mixer, which required removing a couple of other packages as well (including frozen-bubble and sdl_perl-compat).

I then rebuilt sdl_mixer in abs, reinstalled it and then reinstalled frozen-bubble which reinstalled sdl_perl-compat. I was then able to boot frozen-bubble, but no longer had music.

One gets the error

Warning, could not create new music from `/usr/local/share/frozen-bubble/snd/introzik.xm' (reason: Unrecognized music format).

Now, this error is not Arch specific (indeed, I just copied it at this moment from a BSD box, because I meant to post this yesterday, but do remember the message being identical.)

I first got the error awhile back in FreeBSD after an SDL upgrade. Did some googling then and only found one mention of it, by someone using NetBSD, although he received no answers to his post.

So, the lack of music (though sound works) is not an Arch problem. As for the other issue, the new SDL upgrades apparently breaking some things, I don't have any other machines around, so can't test if this is reproducible--therefore, at this point, I'm not filing a bug report unless I see several other people with the same issue. (Actually, I see, doing a search on bugs for sdl_mixer, that the problem has been reported).

Hi!

I have the same issues here.
FrozenBubble freezes after the first line of graphical text has appeared.
Enemy Territory does not work at all.
Same goes for tuxracer.

I still get the Nvidia screen when I start X.

Suggestions? I am pretty new to Arch so please explain in detail what I can do to solve it.

dadexter · 2005-02-21 18:50:03

Any errors when you start enemy territory from the command line/xterm?

IO had problems where it would run really slow, but it's all good now

scottro · 2005-02-22 01:02:19

Well, here is what I did, to get it working (though without music, and this is only for frozen-bubble.)

pacman -R sdl_mixer

I then got messages that a few packages depended upon sdl_mixer, including frozen-bubble. So, I removed those packages, I think I started with frozen-bubble. I think the only other package was sdl_perl-compat.

After removing those three, I did

cd /var/abs
abs

This upgraded all the PKGBUILDS in abs.

Then

cd extra/lib/sdl_mixer
makepkg

This took a few minutes. Then
pacman -A sdl_mixer (and I hit the tab key for completion of the file in there, the package file.

After that was done

pacman -Sy frozen-bubble

I was then able to run frozen-bubble again, with sound, but as I've mentioned, without music.

Archdevil · 2005-02-24 10:10:18

Thanks scottro, but I would prefer it that the problem would get solved. I do not have enough Linux knowledge to be able to say if this is a sdl problem, but if it is, that is where the problem should be solved.

I never reported a bug and I am not sure if this one has been reported, but it would be nice if someone with more technical background could report it is a way that makes it clear to the devs what is wrong exactly.

Several people on IRC told me they have the same problem and I really would like to get rid of it :-)

Thanks for helping out!

scottro · 2005-02-24 13:28:13

Yes, the bug has been reported (heh, I'm too lazy to scroll down and see if I mentioned this already.)

The way to check would be to go to the bugs page

http://bugs.archlinux.org/

Then you can do a search for sdl or sdl_mixer.

As I said, the music in frozen-bubble isn't an Arch problem, it also exists in the BSDs and ~seems~ to have something to do with an SDL upgrade. :-(

WhenI start with the +set r option, ET starts, but very slow.

Somehow HW accelleration is not detected anymore. Possibly after installing the new xorg.

Suggestions?

Archdevil, it seems your problems may not necessarily be related to what they're experiencing. It sounds to me like all you need to do is re-install your NVIDIA driver. The fact that ET is reporting you're using MESA, suggests your NVIDIA glx libs/links got overwritten.

pacman -Sy nvidia

I don't use our nvidia package, but one package I pulled in from our repo's did use mesa, writing over my nvidia stuff. I had to re-install nvidia.

Archdevil · 2005-02-28 16:21:00

Although I remember for sure I did try the nvidia reinstallation, I did it again.
IT WORKED! (Am I getting old or is Alzheimer getting to me? ;-) )

I reinstalled sdl just to make sure and now I have Enemy Territory, frozen bubble and tuxracer working!

Thanks all!

Archdevil · 2005-02-28 18:45:12

I was happy too early!

Things do not work after reboot.
I canot use Tuxracer either. I guess it all has to do with sdl.
When can we expect a solution for this?

Net@Worm · 2005-03-04 22:37:37

I install kernel-2.6.11mm-rc5 and all works now.

Archdevil · 2005-03-11 16:13:30

I went for kernel 2.6.11-1 and every goes great here too!
All my little problems are gone now.

Archlinux rocks!
