05:29.55 | Yassen | anyone here? |
05:30.24 | Yassen | I need help getting bzflag on Ubuntu 8 |
05:37.23 | BulletCatcher | Something like an "apt-get bzflag" command ought to do it. |
05:44.33 | Yassen | ok, I got it, but it doesn't work :( |
05:45.40 | BulletCatcher | What happens when you run it? |
05:47.02 | Yassen | it works for a second, then the display gets all screwed up |
05:48.31 | BulletCatcher | Do you have 3D acceleration enabled for your graphics? One way to find out is to run the "glxgears" command for 15 seconds or so to see what frame rate you get. |
05:48.41 | *** join/#bzflag-chat fatass (n=shedelj@pool-71-178-117-139.washdc.east.verizon.net) |
05:50.16 | Yassen | ~800 fps |
05:50.29 | BulletCatcher | That's fine. |
05:50.32 | Yassen | it works on Vista though |
05:51.18 | blast007 | Yassen: are you running the desktop effects? |
05:51.30 | Yassen | what are those? |
05:51.51 | blast007 | wobbly windows when you drag them, for instance |
05:53.12 | blast007 | http://www.neohide.com/files/deskeffects/screen.png (should be something like that) |
05:53.12 | Yassen | no, I'm running the normal ones (if thats what you are asking for?) |
05:54.06 | blast007 | what graphics card and drivers are you using? |
05:54.24 | BulletCatcher | Thinking more about it, 800 FPS in glxgears is kind of low. The driver for 3D hardware acceleration may not be installed. |
05:54.46 | Yassen | how would I find that out? |
05:54.57 | BulletCatcher | I don't know enough about Ubuntu to help with that. Sorry. |
05:55.14 | blast007 | boot into vista and see what it reports for a video card ;) |
05:55.27 | blast007 | or 'lspci' from a terminal might help |
05:55.37 | blast007 | you're probably running the default drivers |
05:56.05 | BulletCatcher | Try a "lspci | grep -i vga" command. |
05:56.34 | Yassen | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) |
05:56.54 | blast007 | oo fun |
05:57.03 | I_Died_Once | ...Shaft ??? |
05:57.15 | blast007 | at least it's a newer chip ;) |
05:57.18 | blast007 | I_Died_Once: ? |
05:57.25 | Yassen | that must not be good... |
05:57.34 | I_Died_Once | no... |
05:57.44 | I_Died_Once | one, that was a mis-stroke of the keyboard |
05:57.54 | Yassen | its a 1 1/2 year laptop, so I hope its somewhat new |
05:57.56 | I_Died_Once | i typed that in respoinced to some shit jeff said |
05:58.13 | BulletCatcher | language, please |
05:58.21 | I_Died_Once | English |
05:58.34 | blast007 | I_Died_Once: really.. |
05:58.35 | I_Died_Once | y Espanol tambien |
05:59.28 | blast007 | Yassen: I haven't done much with intel graphics and linux |
05:59.45 | blast007 | you could check the restricted drivers and see if there's anything there to enable |
05:59.49 | blast007 | or Intel's site |
05:59.56 | Yassen | it comes up perfect for a fraction of a second, then it messes u |
05:59.59 | Yassen | up* |
06:00.08 | blast007 | but you might also want to try posting on Ubuntu's forum |
06:00.24 | blast007 | yeah, sounds like some driver glitch |
06:00.24 | I_Died_Once | yassen, whats the output of lspci ??? |
06:00.42 | blast007 | you could try running 'bzflag -window -geometry 640x480' and see if that works |
06:00.46 | blast007 | I_Died_Once: he already gave that |
06:00.47 | I_Died_Once | nm, i see where crackhead asked same q |
06:03.32 | Yassen | just for the record, loading with 3dfx causes the words to appear really shakey |
06:03.49 | I_Died_Once | yassen whats the make and model of the machine |
06:07.46 | Yassen | perhaps its the client that is not good? |
06:08.42 | blast007 | possible, but it's probably just a driver |
06:08.46 | blast007 | driver issue* |
06:09.13 | Yassen | purhaps downloading the latest driver will work? |
06:09.22 | blast007 | yeah |
06:10.50 | blast007 | this might be what you need: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2301&OSFullName=Linux*&lang=eng&strOSs=39&submit=Go! |
06:16.37 | Yassen | hmm...cant seem to find the download link |
06:17.19 | blast007 | ah, maybe it's source only? |
06:17.54 | blast007 | http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html the bottom looks promising "The latest stable driver components (recommend to ordinary users)" |
06:18.11 | blast007 | I'd probably recommend asking on the Ubuntu forum though |
06:18.15 | blast007 | I'm just guessing here ;) |
06:19.15 | Yassen | "Compiling and/or upgrading graphics drivers in Linux is a complex and error-prone task." < thats very comforting lol |
06:19.26 | blast007 | hehe |
06:19.45 | blast007 | maybe just easier to reboot into Vista to play ;D |
06:20.20 | Flash | buy a Mac |
06:20.49 | blast007 | yeah, with a Mac, if the driver sucks, you're just stuck with it. Great idea. |
06:21.00 | Yassen | who would guess it would be easier to play on Vista than linux? |
06:21.10 | blast007 | Yassen: heh |
06:21.19 | blast007 | Windows is more of a gaming OS than linux ;) |
06:21.31 | blast007 | driver support is better |
06:22.33 | Yassen | I dont suppose Linux can execute .exe's eh? |
06:22.48 | blast007 | not really |
06:22.52 | blast007 | depends what you mean |
06:23.05 | Yassen | run .exes as programs |
06:23.06 | blast007 | you can run some software with Wine, with varying degress of success |

06:26.37 | *** part/#bzflag-chat Pimpinella (n=frank@gondolin.pimpi.org) |
06:27.31 | Yassen | wonders if the intel people know the difference between windows and linux |
06:30.01 | Yassen | "BZFlag client 2.0.10.20080527-MAINT-linux-gnu-SDL (protocol 0026) http://BZFlag.org/ " that looks right? |
06:31.22 | blast007 | yeah |
06:31.38 | blast007 | 2.0.12 is the latest stable release, but it was mainly build fixes |
06:31.53 | blast007 | could be worth trying to build, but no guarantee |
06:32.11 | Yassen | compile from source? |
06:32.50 | blast007 | yeah |
06:33.28 | Yassen | right, I cant get libCurl to be included... |
06:33.42 | Yassen | I have source, but cant get the libraries to load :( |
06:33.42 | blast007 | need the dev package |
06:33.54 | Yassen | yeah, but how to install? |
06:36.01 | Yassen | I can connect to servers... |
06:36.14 | Yassen | so only graphics |
06:36.50 | blast007 | yeah, building from source probably won't fix this problem |
06:38.52 | Yassen | so its only the text that has problems |
06:39.14 | Yassen | I was observing on missile wars and the objects rendered properly |
06:40.03 | Yassen | if I try to play, it fails |
06:41.24 | blast007 | yeah, not sure what to tell ya. Your driver sucks. Play in Vista. ;) |
06:47.11 | Yassen | is it possible to try a different font that may work? |
06:47.47 | Yassen | it is not liking this font for sure...or the graphics card |
06:49.19 | blast007 | shrugs |
06:49.35 | blast007 | is the font just not one you like? or does it look distorted/corrupted? |
06:50.41 | Yassen | distorted/corrupted |
06:50.53 | blast007 | then a different font won't help |
06:51.09 | Yassen | :( |
06:51.22 | blast007 | you could try adding this to your config file: |
06:51.23 | Yassen | the font is the only thing that doesn't work |
06:51.25 | blast007 | set useBitmapFontRenderer 1 |
06:52.34 | Yassen | where is the "my bzflag files" stored? |
06:52.46 | blast007 | http://my.bzflag.org/w/Config_File |
06:55.22 | Yassen | where can I find the installation program for bzflag? |
06:55.54 | blast007 | hmm? |
06:56.21 | Yassen | is there one? |
06:56.21 | blast007 | be more specific |
06:56.31 | blast007 | we have an installer for Windows |
06:56.37 | blast007 | that's the one OS that uses an installer |
06:57.06 | blast007 | OSX uses a DMG and you drag the app into the Applications directory |
06:57.16 | blast007 | linux is whatever package manager the distro uses |
06:57.26 | Yassen | ok, thats what I did |
06:57.40 | Yassen | but I cant find the .bzf folder... |
06:58.17 | blast007 | did your tell your file manager to show hidden files/directories? |
06:58.21 | blast007 | the period means it's hidden |
06:59.09 | blast007 | or go to a terminal, and type: |
06:59.12 | blast007 | cd ~/.bzw/ |
06:59.42 | blast007 | guess it's under 2.0/ from there |
07:00.09 | blast007 | then you can do something like 'kate config.cfg' |
07:00.18 | blast007 | or whavever editor you want to use |
07:01.49 | Yassen | bash: cd: /home/yassen/.bzw/: No such file or directory |
07:02.07 | blast007 | er, sorry, .bzf |
07:02.34 | Yassen | how to show hidden files/folders in linux? |
07:02.41 | blast007 | shrugs |
07:02.48 | blast007 | I normally use a terminal ;) |
07:03.06 | blast007 | (well, normally I use Windows..) |
07:07.12 | Yassen | I can read! |
07:07.22 | Yassen | but its still really buggy |
07:09.22 | Yassen | I can play for a minute |
07:09.34 | Yassen | but the display is really bad now :/ |
