Second Life odd behavior

[angelbeast]

Having issues with Second Life. It won't run. Once i did get it to load but then it would still rsh when it connected to the SL servers. There was some code in the terminal that said something about KDE. I'm running a GNOME desktop. Is it supposed to be lke that?

Someone? ... anyone? Pretty please?

So, while you're waiting for someone to come along with a solution, let's see what YOU have done to think this through.

Have you googled for info?
Have you checked the missing dependencies? For instance, it seems that there's a complaint on libfreeb13.so - try 'yum provides libfreeb13.so' and see if you've got the package installed that's called for. Same thing with libuuid.so.1 .

In short, it seems that the error is telling you what's missing (those two packages). Make sure you've got them installed and see if that's the solution.

Now, of course, I'm running F12 at the moment and you haven't mentioned which version you're running, so things might be different, but here's my responses to the 'yum provides':

Why yes i have...I've BEEN googling for the past few days. and the files you refer to were part of another issue and need to be REMOVED or else it won't even start. I am at a loss which is why i am posting in here...

Is this one any help? http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=221450

Hi bob. Thanks for the info. I did get as far as the first one already. that just makes it so it starts up. the problem now is that it crashes when it connects to the grid. How to fix that one is what i've been trying to figure out how to do for days *LOL*. I think the error message i posted said something about kde. Is there some kind of basic kde library package to install like to run kde stuff on ngome? Maybei could try that and see what happens since it does mention kde. What do you think?

Second Life is very sensitive to the hardware 3-d acceleration support of the video drivers. The current version of the client pretty much won't work at all with the free legacy supplied linux driver, at least on my ATI Radeon 9000. Also my card is too old to be used with the ATI/AMD proprietary driver. I have ordered an Nvidia card and will be testing that with the Nvidia proprietary driver soon.

The only way I can run Second Life on my current setup is to dual boot and run it in Windows XP pro using the ATI Catayst driver.

And the KDE error about the missing file, is normal when you are not running under KDE, the client will work even with that warning.

Hey JEO how you doin? I'm sure there has to be some kind of way. It was working on Ubuntu and Mint. I'm really loving Fedora though and don't really want to have to go back. From what i understand Mint in the latest release uses the open source ati driver Is that what Fedora uses? If it's not is there any way to install it?

[JEO]

If you want to compare the driver versions of Fedora, Ubuntu, and Mint, then boot each one, and open a terminal and type:

dmesg |grep drm

this is what I see in F12 with my Radeon 9000 card:

$ dmesg |grep drm
[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[drm] VGACON disable radeon kernel modesetting.
[drm] Initialized radeon 1.31.0 20080528 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 0

[drm] Loading R200 Microcode
[drm] writeback test succeeded in 1 usecs

Another command is glxinfo, here is the excerpted version part:

OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R200 (RV250 4966) 20090101 AGP 4x TCL
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 7.7-devel

I got a little more stuff with that first code I do see something about a bug around line 8 Could that be anything?

For comparison, today my PNY Nvidia 6200 256MB AGP card arrived (35 dollars from Best Buy's website). The emerald viewer runs fine on it under Fedora 12.

Using the Nvidia proprietary drivers:
dmesg |grep drm
(returns nothing)

From glxinfo:

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 6200/AGP/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 190.42
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 NVIDIA via Cg compiler

----------------
Can you tell us the exact model of Radeon you have, maybe someone else has it and can help?

The radeon xpress 200m ... i see on here the driver for it is the 300m something or other... that's the same that mint had ... i wonder what could be different between the two that makes it not work...
