No Avatar

Just installed the client and logged in. Everything works great, but i dont see myself.

I dont have much experience with SL, but i would guess one should see his own avatar?

After i changed a costume (folder?) an other resident was finally be able to see me. For myself, no such luck.

In the account creation process i chooses the japanese sounding (H-something) avatar.

I'm having the same problem and my inventory, including body parts, appears to be empty.

same here on Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy (gnome), using FGLRX on a Radeon850Pro AGP

any idea?

bbye,
Sammy

Of course you should see your avatar after logging in. Missing Inventory Content indicates that it might be a problem of the asset server (which stores your look and the content of your inventory). Try the tips at http://secondlife.com/knowledgebase/article.php?id=300 or just give the data base some time to catch up and try back later.

with the alpha release (not first look) you will almost always need to log-out/back-in for the avatar to render.

That's a new one to me ...

Empty inventory and missing Av sounds like a problem I had on Beta (Test Grid) a while ago - I just did NOT get my inventory. And the Av is of course also inventory. In that case, my inventory was simply missing and it was re-generated for me, but I have seen similar effects where it took forever until my Av suddenly popped up.

Getting inventory has on occasion been REALLY slow recently, including an invisible Av that magically appears - also using First Look (which is MUCH faster loading stuff than the normal Alpha Client).

I don't think this is directly a Linux problem, personally.
