SL Loading

Hello all and I appriciate any help on this...

I have looked for about 5 hours and could not find this anywhere on the net...

I downloaded second life and when I run it is comes up with the login screen and has a spinning logo... thats all it does... clicking connect brings up a terms of service agreement and it also says loading and goes no further....

I have tried opening a port and useing a specific port from prefrences and even tried shutting down my firewall completly (not for long though) with no luck

currently running ubuntu 8.04 ... any help is much appriciated...


Thanks

Rob

Odd. Out of interest, what model is your router (if any)?

Router is from verizon. made by westell.. I have completly shut the firewall down on that will the same result...

This is one of two behaviors I've seen when trying to connect to the wrong grid. The other is a DNS error. At least I think it's the same as what I saw. I don't quite remember...

From the login screen, hit control-shift-G. This will make a selector widget appear next to the Quit button. Make sure it says 'Agni'.

I have completed the instruction you provided it does say Agni... Still the same problem...

Are you using a web proxy, either implicit or explicit?

no no web proxy....

It sounds like an embedded Mozilla problem, but I find it hard to imagine what specifically.
My main suggestion at this point is to try the 1.21RC0 viewer when it's released (approximately) next week, as it includes some speculative fixes in this area.

Did this go away for the original poster? If so how did you fix it??

I have the same problem (on 64bit Ubuntu 8.04) SecondLife_i686_1_20_15_92456

I get this in the console if it helps

Hello
Not sure if this is related to the same thing in this thread, but, when I run the client and log in, it proceeds to the window where the user agreement is supposed to show up, and never loads it, just says "loading.." and just sits there - and the 'i agree' button is grayed out so I can't get past that point.

I am running debian Lenny, iceweasel browser, I tested the launch_url.sh script with the url of this forum and that seems to work fine, so i don't think its a browser issue?

Have you tried blowing away your ~/.secondlife and try again?

I ended up using the open metaverse viewer which is for debian and ubuntu.

check it out here

seemed to fix my issues

I am curious if by chance you are on a 64-bit system? As far as I know, the only differences are the name (think the Firefox/Iceweasel problem) and the lack of voice support (vivox is not redistributable as free software). There is also a group related to that package, though it's name eludes me off the top of my head.

I am running 64bit ubuntu

I think that the packager for the openmetaverse package adds a few other patches and changes.

Worked for me, but as always YMMV

OK, that would be why the SL viewer didn't work, but OMVViewer did; SLviewer has only a 32-bit build, OMVViewer has 32 and 64 bit builds.



Mostly minor, the most noticable being that the default font is far too wide to fit most windows. Though this is pretty trivial to change back and has been covered on the omvviewer mailing list already.

As far as the patches are concerned, I can't think of anything that really jumps out at me at the moment, other than OMVViewer is somewhat more likely to crash than the mainline viewer in my experience.
