Darwinia crashes when lspci is available

Postby Firewing » Tue Dec 21, 2004 12:36 pm

Hi,
after I ran Darwinia the first time (it was stunning slow, maybe 0.5 fps) I thought maybe with lspci available Darwinia would run faster. I have made a link /usr/bin/lspci that points to /sbin/lspci, but when I tried to start the game I've got a seg fault. Here is the blackbox.txt output:

This is what I get on the command line:

./darwinia.x86
SDL Version: Compiled against 1.2.8, running with 1.2.8
Creating ResourceManager: 0.1



Darwinia has unexpectedly encountered a fatal error.
A full description of the error can be found in the file
blackbox.txt in the current working directory

Speicherzugriffsfehler


At the beginning the blackbox.txt was empty, but after
touch preferences.txt

And a new try there got something in it.

EDIT: Sry um, "Speicherzugriffsfehler" is the german word for Segmentation Fault.

lspci is just used for informational purposes. If it wasn't available when you generated your system information to upload, you should keep it unavailable when running the downloaded version of Darwinia. lspci won't affect the performance of Darwinia.

With respect to your low framerate, are you sure that you have graphics acceleration enabled? Try running glxinfo and see if it says "direct rendering: Yes". Try running some other 3d applications and see if they run at reasonable speed.

The low framerate was my mistake. I have used the x-org opengl interface, that was a workaround for an glibc bug but it is resolved and now I use the nvidia opengl interface and it is at 50-60 fps.
To the lspci issue: I will download the next beta with the corrected sys-infos. I think it schould work then.

Regarding my issue here i re-uploaded my sysinfo with lspci enabled, and i redownloaded the beta and started anew. Now it still crashes on startup but this time it dumps a blackbox.txt. I've decided to post this blackbox in another thread as it doesn't really fit here.
