1.15.1.3: teleport doesn't work, avatar flies forever.

Using 1.15.1.3 on both Arch Linux and Fedora Core 6, teleportation fails with either a "Could not teleport" message or takes a long time to load and then says I can read my chats and IMs but to do anything else, I'd have to restart. When I do, I start in the same place I started in the time before.

Also, while flying, I will occasionally just fly in one direction and be able to move my camera but not my avatar. I will keep flying in this direction forever until I close the game. : )

Also, sometimes, my avatar doesn't care about surfaces and just sinks through them forever (homes, floors, etc.)

Arch Linux with kernel 2.6.21

Welcome to secondlife.
This is normal.

With teleporting, do you have a lot of attachments on? Try taking them off and teleport again.

As for the other problem, that usually happens when the client connection is dropped or cut off for some reason and you need to relog.

Did TP ever work for you? If not check for maybe a proxy (Squid etc.). I run in such troubles with TP until I disabled the proxy.......

EDIT: Here is the thread about this:
/263/4d/167892/1.html

Sometimes you can't teleport from point A to point B, but you can TP from point A to point C, then from C to B. Choose a common, popular destination for point C. The Lindens appear to arrange for better connections to popular places, which is smart of them!

Anyway, I've seen all of these symptoms from time to time. Just normal stuff for Second Life!

Once I started going down, began accelerating, and within seconds was over 20 kilometers under ground! Other times I might get pulled off the edge of an isolated island sim into nowhere (all the coordinates go into negative numbers) but usually when things like this happen, I get returned to where I was within a few seconds or so, or else my viewer crashes. So is the adventure of running Second Life! Just enjoy the ride!

Never been able to teleport from here, so it might network-related, but shouldn't be. I don't have a Windows installation here to test.

I've taken off everything and tried to teleport that way. Didn't really work. I've tried to hop from one island to the one right next to it, Pooley, and the ones I wanted to go to. Doesn't work anywhere.

And the flying forever bug is happening pretty much every time I play now, within a few minutes of startup. :]

Thanks for the help everyone. : )

Try adding these lines to your secondlife-startscript:

[ -n "$http_proxy" ] && unset http_proxy
[ -n "$https_proxy" ] && unset https_proxy


Maybe it helps.....
