Ubuntu 64 bit (hardy) 8.04LTS run errors

Howdy,

I downloaded the latest Linux code (1.21.6.99587), unpacked and attempted to run. I get the following errors:

./secondlife
Running from /root/sl/SecondLife-i686-1.21.6.99587
./secondlife: line 110: 20908 Segmentation fault LD_LIBRARY_PATH="`pwd`"/lib:"`pwd`"/app_settings/mozilla-runtime-linux-i686:"${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" $LL_WRAPPER bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin --channel "Second Life Release"
*** Unclean shutdown. ***

You are running the Second Life Viewer on a x86_64 platform. The
most common problems when launching the Viewer (particularly
'bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: not found' and 'error while
loading shared libraries') may be solved by installing your Linux
distribution's 32-bit compatibility packages.
For example, on Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linuxes you might run:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-kde ia32-libs-sdl

*******************************************************
This is a BETA release of the Second Life linux client.
Thank you for testing!
Please see README-linux.txt before reporting problems.


I have the latest 32 bit compatibility libraries already installed. Here is the output when attempting to install the suggested libraries.

The machine is a dual core 2.8Ghz, 8GB RAM, nvidia graphics running Ubuntu 8.04LTS (Hardy)

Any assistance in getting sl to run on this system is appreciated.

Thanks

Could you please attach or post the contents of your Second Life log (~/.secondlife/logs/secondlife.log)? There might be something in there that will help us find the cause of the segfault.

As an aside: Why are you logged in as root?

That looks like the sort of thing that happens when the video drivers aren't properly installed, or the video card/chipset is incompatible with SL (OpenGL-capable).

There is no file anywhere on the system called secondlife.log and no file or directory called .secondlife.

According to the instructions I downloaded the archive, unpacked and un-tar'd it and ran it from that place. The instructions did not include any type if install procedure. The directory I ran it from did not have any files or directories created when attempting to run it. Everything has dates of 14 Oct 2008 (I assume the release date).

Here is the directory contents that I am running from

As for the root login. When debugging issues I tend to use a root login to eliminate permissions as a potential issue. Also as a Unix and Linux SA for over 20 years it's just plain easier for many things I do.

strangethat's okThat's because the .secondlife folder isn't created in the installation directory (where you unpacked the archive), but directly in your home folder (probably at /home/yourusername/.secondlife/ or, with the ~-shortcut: ~/.secondlife). The .secondlife/ folder isn't part of the archive but created by the program itself while running (if not already present)Your choice ... but although I've been a Linux (and computer) user for only much shorter time, I would recommend to never run an application as buggy as SL is as root. It can already mess up enough things when run as an unprivileged user.

To add to Boroondas' post, if you're running sl as root, the .secondlife folder was created in /root, not /home/(user). Also, any file or folder with a name that starts with a dot (.) is, by default, hidden. You will need to enable show hidden files to find it.

If you're using a terminal/console you would use "ls -a" (minus quotation marks) to list all files including the hidden stuff.

ls -la does the same thing, and produces nicer output.

I switched from Suse because I can't get it to run after install.

Because of the dual intel core machine etc, I need to use the x64 version of Hardy.

It seems that SL is crashing before it writes any ".secondlife" type directories.

Wasn't there a "how to" on 64 bit for debian based releases at some stage? The forum has been purged, so it's not that easy to search what worked for others. I remember it was an issue, but I also remember it was resolved, in some way...

I was on 32 bit, so it didn't affect me then.

----

PS: I have installed the NVidia drivers, with compatibility libraries too.

And for completeness, here is the output of the crash:

./SecondLifeRC/secondlife: line 113: 6523 Segmentation fault LD_LIBRARY_PATH="`pwd`"/lib:"`pwd`"/app_settings/mozilla-runtime-linux-i686:"${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" $LL_WRAPPER bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin --channel "Second Life Release Candidate" --settings settings_releasecandidate.xml
*** Unclean shutdown. ***

Pretty clear, but doesn't help much...

Here is the "ls -la" for my home directory, no .secondlife appeared:

The message "segmentation fault" reminds me of problems I saw elsewhere, and seemed to be related to incompatible libraries...

Nothing missing there...

I really would appreciate any help. The new computer is SUPER fast, and more so on Kubuntu than Windows XP but that SL bombs before making a log, and with segmentation fault, does not feel good at all...

You didn't tell, but since you posted in this thread, I guess you've switched to Ubuntu? If so, have you tried "apt-get a second life" a.k.a. omvviewer (see http://forums.secondlife.com/showthread.php?t=241329 and http://omvviewer.byteme.org.uk/ubuntu_binary.shtml)

GREAT tip!

I know about 10% less than nothing at all about Ubuntu...

This will help a whole lot.

I have to try your apt-get command, and read the threads you mentioned. This COULD be the answer!

Though I am still a bit nervous about the 64 bit stuff...

I will let everyone here know how it went.

Thanks!

Hi Boroon,

I added the repository to Adept Manager, and a whole list of omvviewer stuff is now available.

I also aded the keys, as mentioned on the web site.

omvviewer-artwork, -data -voice-package look ok, it says "install" next to their entries.

However, omvviewer itself says "BREAK (install) next to it.

Is there anything I need to do there? I have hardy on my system, and the site refers to intrepid. However, changing the repository name to hardy doesn't work....

Does that mean I need to install intrepid? What I have read so far is not clear on this; but no-one has mentioned the "BREAK (install)" message either

I would hate to install something with "BREAK" next to it, and maybe mess up hardy...

Opposed to SuSE, Ubunutu recommends their x86 version if you need full 32 bit compatibility, even for Core 2 Duo etc...

Since 32 bit works well with SL, and the Ubuntu Repository Viewer likes intrepid, I am re-installing.

I need the practise anyway

-------

Update: that was not a good idea. The installer does not find my drive /dev/sda, and no partition tables. Trying again with intrepid x64.

I have no clue, sorry. Back when I had Ubuntu (I've switched to gentoo since), I used aptitude, Synaptic and the command line apt-* tools, if I remember correctly. I just saw in these forums that a lot of debian and ubuntu 64bit users had an easier time getting omvviewer to run than having to bother with setting up a 32bit compatibility environment for the vanilla LL viewer.I hope not, but it might be they only support the newest ubuntu version. I guess Robin Cornelius could answer this, so if she doesn't jump into this thread by her own, maybe try to contact her by one of the ways listed at http://omvviewer.byteme.org.uk/contact.shtml

Maybe the device got another device name (like /dev/hda)? This sometimes happens with different kernels/udev versions.

Thanks, I will look into that.

The device is /dev/sda, and it is there in Hardy, and when I boot the CD in "demo" mode.

When I then choose "install", the devices are scanned again, and /dev/sda is gone, and cannot be found even in a terminal. fstab and the partition table are also non-existent (empty). At that point I stop the install...

I assume it is a bad disk; I just HAPPEN to have another one (I suspected it being not 100% for a while, so I ordered one but never used it).

I have copied the data across to it from the old disk and will try again tomorrow, and see if it's any better. The old disk also doesn't show up in the bios, the new one does. Strange... The same disc, another cpu, another motherboard, also ran OK with SUSE 11.1 and of course WinXP, which still runs ok. But then so did my old memory modules, which are dead in this motherboard...

If Intrepid x86 works OK, I will probaby leave it on; if it has problems or won't install, I will think again.

Thanks for all the help!

It was the disk that was making the install impossible.

I now have intrepid 32 bit running, SL works, and I am happy.

If I get bored - or want to use the FULL performance of my hardware - I will try 64 bit some time. But with intrepid - since there is a community behind it.

Thanks everyone - especially boroon. You have been great!

I posted earlier that the threads were purged in the forum.

I was wrong, sorry

My setting were on "last month" only, I see they rest of them now.

Sorry for being dumb.
