Theora Aquitaine Registered User Join date: 12 Feb 2006 Posts: 266	10-10-2006 02:21 Could it be a problem with your firewall not allowing outgoing connections? I think I had a lockup when SL could not connect to the internet.. I think the (outgoing) ports are: 443/TCP, 12035/UDP, 12036/UDP, and 13000-13050/UDP. But that was just from a google search. I cannot find any info on the SL site, and have not tried it on my box yet. Have you ever got it to work? Do you have access to Windows to see if it works on that? Edit: Oh also, could you check that: /home/khaal/apps/SecondLife_i686_1_12_1_13/SecondLife/cache/ exists? If not, you might not have uncompressed the program properly (use tar xjf on command line rather than automated uncompress GUIs).

I don't have a firewall installed and I haven't run SL since the hacker incident so it was a loooong time ago since i was last logged in... I have no issues with other programs that require direct connection (Bittorrent etc) so I belive this is a problem with the program itself. I'll check if that cache directory is there once i get home

Khaal Bakalava Registered User Join date: 3 Sep 2005 Posts: 21	10-10-2006 07:33 I'm at home now and checked that the cache directory was present. trying to run SL with "LL_GL_NOEXT=x ./secondlife" didn't do any improvement, it still hangs with the very same console output as i posted already
Theora Aquitaine Registered User Join date: 12 Feb 2006 Posts: 266	10-10-2006 08:29 Really strange stuff.. Do you have an ATI card by the way? Major Senior has posted some problems with the latest ATI drivers under the "Testing New Graphics Features" sticky.. not that there are any solutions. Have you tried deleting the dir tree and re-uncompressing?? (not that that is likely to work) Perhaps a backtrace would be useful to Tofu? Sorry I can't be more help.

Aye, I did delete and re-uncompress "just to be safe", and my card is GeForce 6800 with drivers installed. I did just copy over the latest windows client and I could run it through wine... quite weird :/ how do I generate a backtrace, and how should I send it to tofu? help is appriciated, and you've been quite helpful Theora!
Tofu Linden Linden Lab Employee Join date: 29 Aug 2006 Posts: 471	10-10-2006 08:50 Yes, that's certainly strange. This is approximately the moment when SL would start playing its first sound, so maybe your audio device is blocking. That idea could be tested with: CODE LL_BAD_ALSA=x LL_BAD_OSS=x LL_BAD_ESD=x ./secondlife - which would disable audio. If that fails, there should be another client release tomorrow to try. Thanks for the report.

Tofu Linden Linden Lab Employee Join date: 29 Aug 2006 Posts: 471	10-10-2006 09:12 Could you try something else for us please? Assuming that your sound isn't universally broken for some reason, does this work for you (ideally without having to give up sound)? CODE LL_BAD_ALSA=x LL_BAD_OSS=x ./secondlife

It worked with that command aswell. Dosen't ESD stad for Enlightenment sound daemon? I use enlightenment as my WM, but I have that sound disabled Let me know if I can provide you with any further information

Too bad, I read that only now... I've been having the same error (same famous last line in the log) on a freshly installed ALSA-only-System (Gentoo). When I mute audio in the preferences, I can login, and sometimes even enable audio later. But sometimes the client hangs when trying that. From: Tofu Linden If that fails, there should be another client release tomorrow to try. Now, that is nice to hear!! Cheers, Torrid

Torrid Luna Stylecrasher Join date: 16 Aug 2006 Posts: 20	10-10-2006 10:41 Disabling ALSA and switching to esound works for me, with the usual delay of sound. When I'm on ALSA and try to unmute audio, the memory detection comes up, before the system hangs: CODE 2006-10-10T17:33:39Z WARNING: VRAM amount not detected, defaulting to 536870912 MB 2006-10-10T17:33:39Z INFO: *** DETECTED 2125692928 MB of system memory. Aehm. Somehow my RAM upgrade went better than planned.
Drake Bacon Linux is Furry Join date: 13 Jul 2005 Posts: 443	10-10-2006 10:57 I tested the newer client out there, and tried to avoid OSS. ALSA is seriously broken and freezes the client. OSS or ESD only.
