1.10.1 locks up starting, no login screen

It may be redundant, but this seems to be a widespread issue with 1.10.1, more so that 1.10.0, so to keep this a clean report, I want to make a thread, in case anyone has tips and to bring the issue up clearly.

I get this, and even disabling AGP under Linux completely makes no difference.

It happens with my old settings.ini, and with absolutely no settings.ini (clean install).

It does NOT happen on my SuSE 10.1 system with an NVidia 5200 FX, that is just unstable, as 1.10.0 was - sim borders, simcrossings, moving fast etc (though with an 5200 FX, 5 FPS is fast ).

It DOES happen on my 6800 GTS system.

So it is not "buggy code" as such, but code with a timing problem maybe? Locks? Race? Very tricky to find and debug, in any case.

Sorry it's so long, but I don't want to lose some detail that someone may recognise as THE cause. The only change in the system is the new version, 1.10.1, which btw wprks perfectly under wine, except the alpha channle bug.

Here is what I get, starting the alpha client:

I get this randomly, always have. The client gets into a weird state and I just get a black window that I have to send a sigkill to to free up. I then have to go making certain everything about SL died before attempting again. So far it has always worked the second time for me.

But yah .. it tends to act like a race condition in the init code. Maybe the next person to get it can fire up gdb, attach <pid> and then backtrace it to see where it is sitting.

I had THAT condition under fvwm, before I patched the NVidia driver to use AGP 4 instead of 8. In those cases, turning off AGP enabled SL to work perfectly. Also the window could be killed using the window controls, though SL still had bits running. Starting SL again, even with those bits running, gave me a normal client. I think my card just overloaded the AGP channel on the motherboard - new Graphic Card, old motherboard

I have tried the kill and it does get rid of SL, but the second/third/fourth/etc starts are the same now.

Tell me how to use gdb to produce some terse output, in a form that would be useful to you (IANAP) (I assume, gdb before secondlife.bin within the script), and I will post the results

Well, hopefully your gdb has pthread support.

Anyway, fire up SL, let it black out. In another terminal run "ps" looking for the secondlife-bin's pid. Execute gdb. At the gdb prompt type "attach PID" where PID is secondlife-bin's PID. From there it should give you a prompt again and tell you what Object::method the thread is in. typing "bt" should dump a backtrace of the current threads execution.

Write a new sl wrapper script and an sldb wrapper script. Both are simple little things that are written to sit outside the SecondLife directory, i.e. in something like $HOME/bin. The sldb script comes with a little secondlife.gdb script for automating the most basic of gdb functionality when dealing with shutting down secondlife or capturing a crash.

So the question now is .. where should I put them incase people want them for playing around? Is there already a dumping ground for this sort of stuff, or should I set up a Trac for it?

how about here, as a very first place?

The second place would be the wiki...

I suppose I could, but they are a bit wordy... Can't exacly do them as attachements to the post. Which wiki anyway? there seem to be a few.

Well, I opted to skip the "here first" part. Sorry. Put a tarball up on SecondTux's LinuxClient page. Would really like to thank Darkside for pointing out SecondTux to me, and Vinci for putting it up at all. Good place for stuff like this.

http://stux.wikiinfo.org/moin.py/LinuxClient

It is the SL Utils package, incase it isn't terribly apparent from the page.

If you guys find that these scripts fail to work with ash/dash/ksh/pdksh/etc let me know. I try not to do stuff to bash specific. Though you will need wget for them to work.

And par usual, if anyone has anything extra they would like added, features, etc. Let me know, I have a few things I plan on cleaning up and adding to it, and some minor corrections to make, but I suspect what is there now should be usable to pretty much everyone as it stands, so long as it doesn't break on their systems to horribly.

Happy Hacking!

Had the same problem myself, did you use a graphical unzipper? I was reading the SecondTux website and it said to try unzipping using:

tar xjvf SecondLife(version number).tar.bz2

Then I ran it once to generate a settings.ini went to this link:

/263/e9/111548/1.html

and added/changed the settings subjested by the second poster. =P

I am now feeling slightly clever since this didn't take half as long as I thought it was going to to fix. Now I'm going to get rid of the feeling by trying to play a game I haven't played in about a year. =P
