Hello. I'm a relative Linux newbie, (it's more of a hobby at this point, I guess,) so please bear with me. I read the Current Issues thread, and this didn't come up, so here I am. This issue is with both the current edition of client and the Windlight viewer. The issue is that, the first time I start SL within a given booting of Linux, (I dual-boot with WinXP,) my GNOME session is restarted and I am logged out of my Linux session. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on where I can look to fix it?  I'm running ubuntu 7.10, 2.8GHz Pentium 4, ATI Mobility Radion x600 (128MB memory there,) 512MB of RAM, a 1GB page file, and I am using the actual Linux driver for the ATI card. If any other information would help, just let me know. If I missed a solution to this elsewhere, I apologize; just kick me in the proper direction. Thanks!

Ouch. If you have System>Preferences>Appearance Visual Effects turned on, try setting it to "none." To start SL, open a terminal; cd to /path/to/SecondLifeDirectory/; run ./secondlife You *are* using Restricted Drivers, right? That's what you mean by actual Linux driver? *not* the plain ubuntu install? Please post the output of these commands right after you try to run SL and get logged out, i.e. log back in and run these in a terminal after gnome session dies. $ tail ~/.secondlife/logs/SecondLife.log <paste output to help us troubleshoot> $ tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old <paste output to help us troubleshoot> <edit> Also, 512 MB and 128MB graphics are not much for running SL and Gnome. You might try Xubuntu instead and leave more memory free for SL if this is a fresh install and you don't need Gnome. You could check out Xubuntu liveCD first before reinstalling. I've not tried SL with xfce on ubuntu, but it runs fine on my Gentoo box with xfce instead of Gnome. You will probably get better SL results without all the Gnome stuff running. |

Seems like a severe graphical error / protection fault. Your X-server gets restarted because of it. This could also be a driver-version issue ( latest drivers will not always work, downgrade to an older version perhaps). But first tweak SL to use as less graphical power as possible.
Edit your Preferences and graphics before you start SL and set most settigns to lowest qualities first. Uncheck boxes like 'Anisotropic Filtering' 'Shiny' and other extra graphical features.
Good luck.
