| mw44118 | Hi -- I downloaded the .xz file, extracted it, tried running ./freeorion, getting an error /usr/bin/freeorion.elf: No such file or directory. I'm on debian | 01:26 |

| mw44118 | GeofftheMedio: thanks | 01:45 |
| mw44118 | I started freeoriond, then did ./cde-exec /usr/bin/freeorion.elf and the game started. now waiting for AI stuff to happen. How long should I wait? | 01:46 |
| GeofftheMedio | if nothing's happened by now, it's probably not going to | 01:46 |
| mw44118 | GeofftheMedio: maybe there's something wrong with OpenGL on my box. | 01:47 |
| GeofftheMedio | if it can't start freeoriond from within the client, then freeoriond probably can't start the AI processes either | 01:47 |
| mw44118 | GeofftheMedio: thanks for help | 01:48 |
| mw44118 | I liked the imperium galactica game from like 1996 or so. is there a game like that? | 01:51 |

| Mozai | What is the proper way to file a bug report? I am unable to register for the forums -- the captcha is incomprehensible to my human eyes. | 14:32 |
| Mozai | (and I'm pretty sure I'm not colour-blind) | 14:33 |
| GeofftheMedio | did it get to a point where you have a username? | 14:34 |
| Mozai | It did not offer me a username; it asked me to provide one. | 14:34 |
| Mozai | I'm using http://freeorion.org/forum/ucp.php?mode=register | 14:35 |
| GeofftheMedio | yes, and did it appear to accept that and make you an inactive account, or did it not let you enter that info due to the captcha? | 14:35 |
| tpb | <http://ln-s.net/+mHE> (at freeorion.org) | 14:35 |
| Mozai | "The confirmation code you entered was incorrect. The value of “Difficult Arithmatic” is too small, a minimum value of 14 is required." | 14:36 |
| Mozai | but "eleven plus three" is fourteen, and that's what I put in. And I still can't read this captcha picture. | 14:37 |
| Mozai | tpb: that link bounces me to http://freeorion.org/forum/ucp.php?mode=register, which I've already said I'm using. | 14:38 |
| tpb | <http://ln-s.net/+mHI> (at freeorion.org) | 14:38 |
| Mozai | tpb, that new link asks me for a username and password, which I don't have because I'm trying to register to get a username and password. | 14:39 |
| GeofftheMedio | it wants 14 not fourteen | 14:39 |
| GeofftheMedio | tpb is a bot | 14:39 |
| Mozai | arrrgh. I assumed since it put the numbers as words that it would want an answer in words. | 14:39 |
| Mozai | I'm still unable to register for the forums. I can't read http://freeorion.org/forum/ucp.php?mode=confirm&confirm_id=23220dc1204b5a576c7e384e21b6b6ac&type=1 | 14:40 |
| tpb | <http://ln-s.net/+mHN> (at freeorion.org) | 14:40 |
| Mozai | tpb you are not being helpful. | 14:40 |
| GeofftheMedio | if you can't read the captcha, refresh it until one with better colour contrast comes up | 14:40 |
| GeofftheMedio | tpb is a bot and won't understand your chat | 14:41 |
| Mozai | I thnk I ran out of captcha attempts. Now when I click "reset confirmation code" I get a form without any captcha image. | 14:41 |
| Mozai | Is there another way to file a bug report? | 14:41 |
| GeofftheMedio | looks like 3BU2 to me | 14:41 |
| GeofftheMedio | briefly describe it here? good chance it's already reported... | 14:42 |
| Mozai | Two problems: first, package filename says version 0.4.2, but the software says version 0.4.1. second, graphics corruption in the starting screen, and no response to mouse input. http://imgur.com/tozKLQv | 14:43 |
| tpb | Title: imgur: the simple image sharer (at imgur.com) | 14:43 |
| GeofftheMedio | what OS? | 14:43 |
| Mozai | Linux. Distro shoudl be irrelevant since the software package uses chroot to isolate itself from the rest of the OS. | 14:44 |
| GeofftheMedio | The linux version tends to have various issues. the graphics corruption is likely a driver issue. | 14:45 |
| GeofftheMedio | the wrong version number is presumably just becasue naglium didn't update it when he built it. if it's 5771 then it's the 0.4.2 build | 14:46 |
| Mozai | "FreeOrion v0.4.1 [Rev 5771]" okay, cosmetic. | 14:46 |
| GeofftheMedio | mmhmm | 14:46 |
| GeofftheMedio | for the rendering... not much I / we can do... you might need to build from source or otherwise troubleshoot for yourself if it won't find the proper drivers / things aren't recognized. | 14:47 |
| GeofftheMedio | The distro does seem to matter, as some have issues even starting up and others don't. | 14:47 |
| Mozai | :( whelp. I'll track down a source tarball then. | 14:50 |
| GeofftheMedio | there are links and compile help on the wiki | 14:50 |
| GeofftheMedio | sorry I can't instamagically fix things... | 14:51 |
| GeofftheMedio | linux and all its variants isn't very easy to work with for such issues | 14:51 |
| Mozai | not expecting an instamagic fix. | 14:51 |
| GeofftheMedio | good thing | 14:51 |
| Mozai | not expecting a fix at all, really. | 14:51 |
| Mozai | Just wanted to add data to the heap. | 14:51 |
| *** vurma has quit IRC | 14:52 | |
| GeofftheMedio | probably need a separate build for every distro, and even then it wouldn't always work... but that's not practical, so we just go with what nagilum generously provides | 14:52 |
| Mozai | and I see why nagilum made the choice; no worries about what each Linux distro decides to name libraries, or whether this distro has library v4.1-2 and that distro has library v4.2-1 | 14:53 |

| Mozai | gotcha. | 15:02 |
| adrian_broher | Mozai, looking at the picture I would assume that the GL_{UN,}PACK_ALIGNMENT is not correct. | 15:12 |
| Mozai | (searches the installed software) awww, that string is only mentioned in the dri (Direct Rendering Interface) libraries. Looks like Geoff's guess was correct about it being a video driver issue. | 15:13 |
| GeofftheMedio | not a hard guess when the symptom is corrupted display stuff... | 15:14 |
| Mozai | :P | 15:14 |
| adrian_broher | GeofftheMedio, about the gigidir patch. Do you just wait for another opinion or is there anything else wrong with the patch? | 15:21 |
