Bugs / Known Issues

I'm also experiencing very slow frame rates in the latest client. something like 3-5fps while in Ahern/welcome area - I'm able to convince it to get up to 15-20-ish while in a low-number-of-textures area...

i'm running SuSE 9.1, Xorg 6.8.2 with the latest nvidia drivers (817.

It's (apparently) a GeForce4 MX 440, with 128MB of ram. I have made the settings.ini change to set the amount of memory in the SL client.

I have tried to change the RenderUseAGP to 1/true/on/whatever in settings.ini, but everytime I launch the client, it's as if the setting is unset...

(It's worth noting when I run stuff like bzflag, I get 100+ fps... So I know that (at least some) of the GLX/AGP stuff is working properly....

Hi!

First off, great work on the Linux client! It's working really well most of the time, and I'm glad I can finally play Second Life!

On to my bug

I run Second Life in 1024x768 Windowed mode. My Desktop is 1280x1024. When I click outside the SL client window, and it loses focus, the client always switches into "Build" mode (Build button gets highlighted). Maybe someone of you already noticed. If this post is a duplicate, my apolofgies - feel free to delete.

Many thanks for Second Life on Linux!

I get an error with the following (under Fedora Core 4):

2006-03-01T14:49:35Z
2006-03-01T14:49:35Z This can be because you somehow have multiple copies running, or your system incorrectly thinks a file is open. If this message persists, restart your computer and try again. If it continues to persist, you may need to completely uninstall Second Life and reinstall it.

Check if vou have the folder /home/vinci/Desktop/Ablage/SecondLife-linux-02072006/SecondLife/cache/ and if you have read/write access to it. If the folder is there, try renaming it and create a fresh one.

Vinci, likely you didn't decompress the archive correctly:

/263/ab/90124/1.html

Using file-roller for me seems to leave out empty directories that are necessary.

If in doubt drop to the command line.

My client crashed after I cliecked the help button on the script editor.

What does this mean. Is this a problem of graphics card setup or should I not bother?

Hi Vinci,

look at the following thread. It seems to solve this for everyone I know of... including me

/263/55/87804/1.html

SecondLife-1.8.4.7

Graphics and input froze within the window, had to 'kill -9' secondlife-bin to stop it.

Bad packets maybe?

amd 2400+ 1gig of ram, DSL connection, fedora 4. Packet indicator seems to be in the red all the time

Ya I kinda figured bad packets... was happening... but Id like to know what would cause it concidering the windows client on the exact same machine (grub bootloader I believe) in windows xp has never shown any red in the packet indicator..... Ive never had any problem downloading with either windows or linux and I use them both regularly .... I thought it would be kinda neat to get Sl running in linux...... if I could Id probably finally get windows off my system.... never had any security problems with any of my 3 linux systems..... but gaming I always seem to have to come back to windows..... there apparently is a wine off shoot ... cant remember what it is called now though .... maybe Ill try to find it again and try that ..... yes I know its packets causing my packet indicator to go red .. somethign more constructive like why might be helpful though

I don't have any answers on this; maybe a low-level Linux Expert can say something about it; but I have noticed the following:

a) Sometimes when I connect to Second Life, my bandwidth goes up to 1.5 Mbps and stays there a while, although my bandwidth is actually set to 1Mbps. Windows never comes NEAR 1 Mbps, normally maxes out at about 300Kbps - this REALLY tests line quality;

b) I get times when I get bad packets by the million - 250% has been seen (whatever 250% means). It sometimes helps to relog; most times, it helps if I try a day later

Windows may be "optimizing" the packet transfer, by forcing a "sequential" download of packets; this would limit both the bandwidth, and prevent the bad packet level reaching these stellar values.

PS: On a bad packet day, what I get in Windows is not a high level of bad packets; instead, I get LOTS of textures that just never load, and a moderate level of bad packets, and a bandwidth of 30 Kbits, though lots of stuff SHOULD be loading; the missing textures stay grey. In this regard, again, I think the effective time to get a playable SL in terms of completed packets received, Linux has the edge again. But this is subjective. In other words, even WITH the bad packets display in Linux, which Windows does not show, Linux completes its download a whole lot faster than Windows does. Windows just hangs up its packet transfer before the Bad Packet display flips out. Again, I repeat, this is just what I feel...

I have noticed, though, that on a bad packets day, whole objects can go missing in the SL Linux client, and only materialize after a relog. So don't hurry to rebuild your house if a wall is missing, and you had tons of bad packets, it MAY fix itself after a relog. This is also the reason I think the above problem may be related to bad packets.

The program is called Cedega by Transgaming.

Cedega are not very nice when it comes to contributing back to the wine project, and I believe Wine is pretty much as capable as Cedega for all but the very latest games (SL looks to be somewhat comparable between the two).

Relevant URLs:
Wine: http://www.winehq.org
Cedega: http://www.transgaming.com

Of course it's far more helpful to use the Alpha and bug-report away

I'm not sure any sort of sequential download would make sense, since TCP doesn't really allow for that sort of thing. Packets get sent in order, but they can arrive in any order. I'm fairly certain there's no way to prevent this behavior except to wait until an ACK for the previous packet before sending the next one, and that would only slow your connection, I believe.

Thoughts?

Nothing really to add, but it did seem to me that SL under Windows does not get the HUGE bad packet values that Linux does, and also does not get the massive transfer rates.

"Sequential" is a poor way of describing the feeling I get, since it is too exact.

Maybe the Windows TCP/IP stack gets full? I can't say what it is, but it DOES appear that Windows "chokes" when it gets bad packets, so the Bad Packet indicator clears quickly.... and the used bandwidth stays really low for ages, without the missing details in the client being downloaded.

Whatever, on a bad packet day, I get Really Low Bandwidth on the Windows client, that just never gets better for ages. Linux seems to Go for Max all the time, and as soon as it has recovered from bad packets, pushes its bandwidth up again - often resulting a another Red Bar, and Bad Packets going up.

Last night I again had bandwidth usage of 1500 Kbps, but the line was good, No Bad Packets DESPITE the bandwidth! Result: within a few seconds, everything was visible (as Linux knows visible...), despite starting with an empty cache (as usual).

I haven't seen this kind of download rate in Windows, ever.

IMHO, it is caused not by a bad line in Linux that Windows doesn't have, but in the different ways Linux and Windows handle a bad line.

After I've been inworld for a while, exploring a lot, my system

The above memory setting above reflect a virgin boot, btw.
Quitting out and restarting SL makes SL run fast again.

Yep, this bug has been there ever since I used the Linux client the first time (1.8.4.16). Most likely a string variable doesn't get cleared inside a loop. The bug has been reported to Don.

In the appearance editor, I just noticed some graphical artifacts appearing on the borders around the preview icons. I didn't see this in the last version, either...

Maybe this is not a bug but just part of running the linux SL client, but secondlife-bin cpu useage is always in the 99% range when I am connected to SL, whether it be 10 minutes or 1 hour.

It's a feature....

SL takes all the cpu it can get, to improve your playing experience. If its not loading textures or whatever, this cpu power goes into responsiveness. However, in linux at least, this has never delayed other programs for me, like web browsing or whatever.

I would personally think SL was not well written, if I got low frame rates and cpu was not being used
