*** VargaD has joined #freeorion04:45
csc`well im getting a segfault trying to run freeorion04:59
VargaDMe too05:05
csc`Linux?05:06
VargaDand intel video card05:06
VargaDit works well on the other computer with nvidia video card05:06
csc`im just getting a blank screen now05:07
csc`curious, VargaD05:07
csc`distro and orgin of installation?05:07
VargaDUbuntu and I have tryed 3.13, 3.1405:09
csc`stock?05:10
csc`(LSR Ubuntu i presume)05:10
csc`and stock as in, you downloaded it from the page05:10
VargaDI have downloaded from sourceforge05:11
csc`im getting horrible performance with freeorion :(05:12
csc`VargaD, run this...05:12
csc`wget -q -O - http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -05:12
csc`and sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu lucid-getdeb games" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list'05:13
csc`and last, sudo apt-get install libalut0 libgigi libboost-filesystem1.40.0 libboost-serialization1.40.0 libboost-signals1.40.0 libboost-system1.40.0 libbullet0 libogremain-1.6.4 libfreeimage3 libois-1.2.0 libzzip-0-1305:13
csc`then try running freeorion, it ran for me after that05:13
csc`.14 downloaded from sourceforge, that is05:14
enig__or just add "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu lucid-getdeb games" to your packet manager and then search it in it05:15
VargaDI think problem is probably the intel card or driver05:16
csc`enig__, installing freeorion from getdeb caused a segfault05:16
enig__strange05:17
csc`but following those instructions and running the prebuilt binaries did not05:17
csc`although i had horrible performance, probably due to opengl and radeon's drivers05:17
enig__fglrx?05:18
csc`no05:18
csc`Radeon05:18
enig__thats the 2d driver ?05:19
VargaDIt works quite well on nvidia video card I have downloaded 3.15 from sourceforge now05:19
csc`the open source driver05:19
enig__i think @ the moment only fglrx has real 3d accel05:19
csc`yes, im aware05:20
VargaDradeon hd also have on some cards05:20
enig__try fglrx, the newest fglrx with newest beta flash has hd-video-accel over gpu on recent cards and onboard grafics05:22
csc`i'll pass05:22
csc`my card isn't supported by the latest fglrx, and radeon works just fine05:22
VargaD:(05:22
VargaDati has really bad support05:23
csc`its too much of a pain to replace the video driver05:23
csc`i'd prefer an ati card over nvidia anyday05:23
VargaDWhy?05:23
csc`when ati breaks, you can fix it. Nvidia breaks, you're sol05:23
csc`and i dare you to prove me wrong ;)05:23
VargaDHow can you fix it?05:24
csc`the *only* reason nvidia has 'great' linux support is because they're funded by pixar05:24
csc`all my fglrx issues were fixed with a configuration regen05:24
VargaDyou cannot install fglrx because you have an old card and only old fglrx support it05:25
VargaDbut the old fglrx needs older kernel05:25
VargaDbut you can't use older kernel on ubuntu because you don't want to use older ubuntu05:26
VargaDI don't play much so I don't have a powerful video card05:27
enig__wasnt the 10.5 a legacy driver ?05:28
enig__meaning for  older cards05:28
VargaDI don't know05:29
csc`9.3 is the specific version I need05:30
enig__iirc they releasy a legacy version every now and then05:30
csc`but i really dont care05:30
csc`its not an issue05:30
VargaDmy grandmother has Geforce 2 mx 200 it works well on recent linux kernel at 1920x1200 resolution05:30
VargaDI don't like that they have binary driver05:31
VargaDunfortunately nouveau driver does not work at all with my GeForce 830005:31
VargaDif you don't play probably the intel card is the best bacuse it has opensource driver and works well05:33
VargaDhowever I prefer AMD because Intel is really expensive, that's why I choosed nvidia... :D05:33
csc`my radeon works fine05:33
csc`this laptop is fully supported by linux05:33
VargaDyoutube video fullscreen?05:34
csc`yes05:34
csc`hulu as well05:34
VargaDthan it's okay05:34
csc`this laptop has been using ubuntu since atleast four, perhaps six version releases from current05:34
csc`dont know the exact number05:34
enig__yeah since a year or so fglrx is quite good05:35
VargaDmy friend has new laptop with ati card and he can't use 1920x1200 on linux with the newest fglrx driver05:36
VargaDit works on windows05:36
VargaD:(05:36
VargaD(he has a huge lcd monitor at home)05:37
enig__add custon resolution?05:37
VargaDI didn't play much, I have tryed to set resolution in the ati configuration panel05:38
VargaDbut it can't do that05:38
VargaDmaybe somehow it is possible to use it05:38
csc`this laptop will not run windows whatsoever05:41
VargaDor maybe it will work with the next ati drivers :)05:41
csc`:)05:41
enig__i thin there should be a way over /etc/X11/xorg.conf05:41
VargaDI also do not run windows05:41
csc`i run it, just not on this laptop05:42
VargaDI use Gentoo for 5 years05:42
csc`i hate gentoo05:43
csc`with a supreme passion05:44
VargaDdo that, but I wont't use anything else05:44
VargaDcheap but powerful amd cpu can compile anything fast05:47
VargaDMaybe compileing everything is pointless :)05:47
csc`not the fact of compiling software05:51
csc`its the fact that i was able to run LFS for a month with X1105:51
csc`and gentoo failed to even start X1105:51
VargaDthat's strange05:53
