Running the latest I get a very hard hang after log in. The last console message I see is something about painting the sky. It's so hard I have to unplug the computer, even the power button doesn't work.
ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't do anything either.
I have never ever seen linux hang like this.
All be it, this is on an Atom machine, with the intel integrated graphics. So it's likely a hardware issue, but does anyone have any ideas?

Your problem is very likely due to lack of proper OpenGL 3D rendering support in your video driver. I don't know much about the Intel GMA or its drivers, but it may be necessary to install a proprietary (restricted) driver to get full OpenGL support. However, even if you manage this, your SL experience on a netbook is not likely to be satisfactory.
As an aside: If CTRL-ALT-Backspace does not work to kill (and restart) the X server, then try ALT-SysRq-K. The backspace combo is being phased out as of xorg 1.6. _____________________

Well, maybe this will help or not. In any case, I am experiencing pretty much the same problem, with the added bonus that before even crashing, I get nothing better than 4.0 fps.
My Intel is 945GM I have followed the post in the Ubuntu forums: HOWTO: Jaunty Intel Graphics Performance Guide at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 and I still experience the same issue: Second Life just hangs after some time. I would like to try your suggestion about getting full OpenGL support, so could you expand a little more on your suggestion or provide some pointers to some instructions? Gabrielle |

Well, I am not sure if I found a solution to this issue or not, since what I did is I disabled most of the advanced graphic features (as per the README-linux.txt instructions), instead of getting the full OpenGL 3D as suggested in one of the answers in this post:
I removed the '#' from the line that reads '#export LL_GL_NOEXT=x' in the secondlife script. The result is that the system does not hang anymore, I can go around different sims in SL, I still have less than 5.0 fps as shown in the Statistics console (Ctrl-Shift-1) and I still do not know very well what I am missing as advanced graphic features. If someone is interested in looking at the error log when SL hangs, just let me know and I will reproduce the hanging situation. Gabrielle |
