How can I find out why the windows client, run with wine, won't run. Where do I look.
It starts to run and then dies. It worked before.
I need to upload.

The new linux client supports uploads. Mine does not. A dialogue appears but not a file selector. Only cancel is avaliable. (yep, 1.12.1.13) _____________________

To upload:
Tofu Linden did say it would be a very crude hack. Guess what this is? A very crude hack. Hopefully by next week we'll have a SL-skin file selector. |

Thanks for that Drake Bacon. I would never have thought of doing that way.
Now it seems there is no need for a windows/wine client. I LIKE it! _____________________

Last night I was able to pull through a bigger build job using only the Linux client for the first time. It was an awesome experience, and the upload.(tga|wav|bvh) is only a minor inconvenience compared to having to use cedega and sacrifice FPS
![]() The most annoying thing for me on the Linux client right now is that it seems to leak memory. Over time (3 or 4 hours) it becomes slower and eventually starts to stutter and jerk while camming around. From experience I know it's a good time to restart the client by then, or otherwise my system will grind to a halt soon, requiring a kill -9 secondlife-bin from a remote console. Keep up the great work, Tofu! I hope to see you at the regular LUG meeting some time in the future ![]() _____________________

From experience I know it's a good time to restart the client by then, or otherwise my system will grind to a halt soon, requiring a kill -9 secondlife-bin from a remote console. There does appear to be a leak or uncontrolled allocation/caching. One location appears to grow through out the run time of the game though for me it stops before my system is slowed by it so just SL runs slowly. First three lines from pmap for SL. 0000000008048000 28584K r-x-- /home/mav/SecondLife/bin/secondlife-bin 0000000009c32000 20K rw--- /home/mav/SecondLife/bin/secondlife-bin 0000000009c37000 246912K rw--- [ anon ] The third report continues to grow, it will even grow beyond the size of the disk cache if the disk cache is under 500mb, it never seems to breech the 1gb mark or start to use swap space. |

Thanks for the info. I'm always watching for memory leaks.
