Hi all, I've been toying about with the Linux Alpha Client over the past week or so and have got it working acceptably.
However, I get quite a large performance boost if I launch SL as a GDM session without loading a window manager etc (noticed a gain of 10FPS comparing it to the FPS in the same location whilst running gnome et al) which is all hunky-dorey.
But... I'm having one major problem with doing things this way - sound doesn't seem to work, does anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do/run/set to fix this?
Cheers! :]

Try using a minimalist window manager

The easiest course of action would be to install a barebones window manager. I'm running SL using Fluxbox right now, and it's not bad at all. Just do this command at the Terminal: sudo apt-get install fluxbox fluxconf But before you log into fluxbox, run fluxmenu to add fluxbox menu entries for SL and xterm, at a minimum. Or you could go even more barebones and try evilwm, or screen  |

Surely no window manager at all is even more barebones?  Hello Toonie: Cheers, that sounds about right... hopefully it'll work, I'll let you all know how I get on |

(Running on Ubuntu Edgy) Are you using ARTS, or ESD, or some other sort of daemon-style sound driver? Personally, I just stick with ALSA (part of the 2.6 kernel itself). One way to try to force ALSA is to open the secondlife startup script itself, and uncomment the 'export LL_BAD_ESD=x' and 'export LL_BAD_OSS=x' lines, to force SL to default to ALSA. When done, the file should look like this:
... some stuff here
## - Avoids using the ESD audio driver.
export LL_BAD_ESD=x
## - Avoids using the OSS audio driver.
export LL_BAD_OSS=x
## - Avoids using the ALSA audio driver.
#export LL_BAD_ALSA=x
... more stuff here
You might also need to use the alsamixer or alsamixergui tool to verify your ALSA mixer settings are okay. Hope this helps. DISCLAIMERS: Use at your own risk. Backups are your friend. You break it, you own both halves. |
