No error, but "Second Life" window just opens and does nothing on my Dapper.

Hi

I'm trying to run SL for the first time on Ubuntu Linux Dapper Drake 6.06. I have an IBM T42p laptop with a 128MB ATI Mobility FireGL T2 card, using the proprietary ATI driver.

I'm running the 1.13.2.15 version of SL from my home directory. I don't get any error, but all that happens is the Second Life winow opens and does nothing.

Any ideas why it's not working (note that I don't believe it's a network connectivity issue)?

The last lines in the console are:

2007-01-26T20:53:44Z INFO: Trying ESD audio output...
2007-01-26T20:53:44Z INFO: ESD audio output initialized OKAY

Thanks for your help!

Hi there,

I have the same problem on my yakumo latop. SL-window appears but keeps black.

lspci shows:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] (rev 01)

BTW, Windows client is quit unstable on this laptop, too.

Thank for help.

Hi again,

I solved the problem: I simple maximaised the SL-window. This redraws the window and shows the login screen. Hope, it also works for you, Desmondo.

Tnanks, Arunas, that solved my problem.

I normally run Ubuntu in 800x600, and that must have confused the SL window. I de-maximized it and maximized it and then got the login fields.

I then quit and changed my screen resolution to 1024x768 and restarted SL to avoid that problem.
