Interesting is i do not have the file floater_profile.xml
i searched whole system for this file .. but it does not exist


i run SL on

2.6.16-gentoo-r9

My HW is:
P4 2.8Ghz
i use a Gigabyte GA-8SG667
with a SiS 648 chipset
1.5Gb Ram
GeForce 6800 512Mb Ram

installed Nvidia Kernel is nvidia-kernel-1.0.8762-r1
UT runs perfect without crashes .. and other games as well ..

I use xorg 7.0
tried befor xorg6.8.2 but also crashed regularly the same way

befor i had a ATI 9200SE and also lots of crashes same way
so it is also no problem with the powersupply
9200SE is not a power graphiccard

if someone can help me i would be very happy ..
it would be alredy much better if the system would not hang totaly

Thanks for help ..
if i forgot to post something please ask ...

*Calm smile* I have almost the same problem than yours, but with an ATI 9200 SE as a graphic card, and an VIA VT8378(A) Unichrom KM400 (A) as a chipset for my MB.
Been asked to change the chipsets. Changed the graphic cards ones.
It is ok.
But client problems stills runs on.
I swear I have tried, np! :=)
Please keep me informed, my apologies to insist you all, but it sucks a bit to be stopped by such a silly thingie.
Take care, all, and see you very soon... I hope.
Friendly, Senn.

System specs, processor type/model (single/dual), amount of ram, current kernel, graphics card+driver version. What distribution of linux?

nVidia has had some SMP problems in a few of their drivers for linux, some games trigger it more than others.
Also SL has multiple threads, sometimes this can jumble up causing problems. Though most likely if the system locks up completely it is a driver problem(or hardware problem).

i alredy wrote my Kernel, my graphiccard and my amount of ram.
here is the kernel ring buffer output of my CPU

i also wrote my nvidia driver version i use but i will repead
nvidia-kernel-1.0.8762-r1

but how with my second question why i do not have a file called floater_profile.xml

it tries to read it and after it crashes ..

I can't really tell, I do not have a floater_profile.xml though I do have a lot of other floater_*.xml files, might try creating a blank file. This file probably contains your profile (right click in world) or that is what it is looking for anyway. Does this error happen post or pre login? Does it happen with a fresh clean install?

it is a new install and it happen just after ca 20 min of using SL.

what i think it is an interesting question ..
if i have a pay account ( i don't have one) but just imagine i have one. so i payed for using SL how can i use my account if the client is crashing regularly ... and it is crashing on Windows a s well ANY other games are not crashing only SL. No diffrence betwen Windows and Linux so it is not a problem of Alpha Client .. also windows client seems to be an alpha version ..
and like i wrote alredy, i stressed my system with all i could fiend and no crash at all....only SL makes problem why ??? i am just interested .. nothing bad to SL or liunden but SL destrois PC. i mean i don't know applications witch can fully crash linux including kernel ... i am a user with standart rights on linux, but i get a full Kernel crash .. only with SL.
i am just interested what else i could do insted of not using sl client ..
i like sl i even love the game .. but it kills my PC and not only on linux .. same problem on windows ... so please fix those bugs ...
it makes me versy sad ... version 1.10.0.2_2 was working very stabil on my pc only seence update 1.10.0.3_3 al rest of updates are not working anymore ... only ful sys crashes .. so please help ..

maybe it is a setting of me .. i would be happy if it is so easy.

This is a confirmed problem. I've submitted it to LL as a bug. floater_profile.xml seems to not exist in either the Windows or Linux version.

but i am not sure if this makes the client crash ... because the crash is just randomly .. like i said sometimes i can stay online for hours without crash and i look to profiles, modify or create objects, trienig scripts, chating, or just sitting around doing nothing. but sometimes .. same client same settings i can log in to SL and it crashes 2 min later or 30 min maybe 20 min it is totaly random ... so it is very hard to debug ..
same on windows .. last time i loged on over windows i could stay online the whole night *g*
so i tought now it is stabil and i liged off shortly after few min i re logged on and 10 min later freeze .. the whole systm crashed and now i can stay max 30 min online if i am luckie 1h and it crashes again ..
i would be happy to get info where i can search .. like i alredy sayd maybe it is a setting of my PC ..
oh i use win2k or gentoo linux

This is what makes the client crash, I've experienced it quite a few times.

oh ok ...
hmm .... intresting is that i get the error just seence the new client .. but all the rest of clients does anso not have this file but i had never a error log like i have with the new ...
