no, i think it was "your card is not supported"

"The basic method is to create a chroot using debootstrap and configure it for running X apps under your current Xserver/desktop" - onemyndseye
running in the hosts xserver? then what's the point in chrooting?

please help! i don't even want it to work (i'm fed up), i just want to understand it...

The point of this is..... using older graphics support libs (i.e. OpenGL (mesa)) to render RO on your current desktop.

you will have to undo all of the changes done by the script.. DO NOT change hardy to jaunty as that essentially undoes what this script was built to do.

It was hard coded to install to /opt/hardy-chroot for a reason, my friend

The problem with the segfault is that RO crashs around the mesa drivers that ships with Intrepid or higher. So we use a hardy chroot so that we may use its older graphics drivers on our newer system


now.... as root you will have to delete the entries that were added to /etc/fstab and then reboot your machine... then you may delete /opt/hardy-chroot and try again

This script installs the chroot and creates the needed scripts. Download the script and run it.. when it completes run RO with ~/regnum/regnum-online.sh


Hope this helps Please report back with your progress. thanks

After running the build-ro-bottle.sh on this thread, I was finally able to build a character. After logging in, I ran into the same graphical problem as above. Does someone have a response to this issue? Thanks!

For what its worth I will no longer be maintaining this hack/workaround as I have recently purchased a muuuuch better laptop

That being said I will still try my best to answer any questions that come up.

I think the biggest hope for this issue is that perhaps it may be solved with the release of the new game engine

Anyway, GREAT workaround! I have the issue but rather wineing than getting chroot to work. Gotta work with my laptop, too much trash by now.

Hope NDG give official support to Linux client soon.

Best,

F.

I would only say that if you have problems with your rendering. To check it, just do
glxinfo | grep direct

if the answer is
direct rendering: Yes
is ok, but if you receive a "No",
and have errors like
libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs.
libGL error: InitDriver failed
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering


run ldconfig
this command fixes some virtual links to some libraries.

This issue is nearing being closed as the user Arafails has provided a much better workaround and pointed the exact bug out to NGD.

The officially ends my involvement with this issue and renders this thread completely obsoleted.

Please see this thread for details: http://regnumonlinegame.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=50234
