Graal 4 Linux bugs - Page 2

ReBorn_Spirit · #16 01-12-2006, 08:06 AM

I can't actually install Version 4 yet because of this

autopackage-frontend-gtk: error while loading shared libraries: libglade-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and then it closes after trying to launch the installer file

**Version 2 loaded up after I downloaded a ton of DLL's for my WINE in Linux by the way, really slow, and the terrain doesnt display, but thats off topic.. *looks around* PENGUI POWER!!

*wonders* hmm maybe I need to install directx.. for wine....

64 bit distribution? You need to install the 32bit versions of those, Graal and the autopackage library are 32bit

ReBorn_Spirit · #18 01-12-2006, 11:21 PM

I got the 32 bit compatibility arch software too.
If you switch to a different console using hte ctrl alt F2, you can kill your X server using
X -noreset -terminate
and then install your drivers for your video card, thats what I went and did. Oddly, it was easy enough to restart, just kill the process for X and it reboots it automatically on my computer. Though I got a feeling that wasn't right.

I looked into it, and the Autopackage is the entire problem for anyone using a Linux in 64bit architecture. Atleast, for those using the Linux that can put to use RPM/RPMBUILD.

Autopackage needs to be in 64 bit, or as is on the system its being installed on. Personally, I wouldnt even mind the old version 3. **For 64 bit systems (or you go back to fighting dependancies)

Suppose you could let the linux clients do a ./configure and make , make install like alot of other programs.

RC for Linux doesnt like to stay running, infact..

[dayaa@compy rc]$ ./rc &
[1] 9833
[dayaa@compy rc]$ ./rc: symbol lookup error: ./rc: undefined symbol: gtk_tree_view_set_fixed_height_mode

that occured shortly after the login screen went away, about 10 mili seconds.. later...

I would think it would be easier to simply port it over to a 64 bit version or getting some compatiblity thing.

Admins · #19 01-14-2006, 03:10 PM

The 64 bit thing seems to be a common problem for autopackage which only supports 32 bit environment, and if you don't have setup the right links it will not install. May be can also upload a tgz for experienced users?
For the Gtk error: It is using a few Gtk 2.6 and 2.8 features, which are already existing for quite a long time. It might be some work to install those, but it's better to enable the new stuff like syntax highlighting instead of limiting all the other people. We cannot release the source code, sorry.

ReBorn_Spirit · #20 01-15-2006, 12:13 PM

Yes I figured as much for source code. The hard part is getting Graal to run on so many different computers when they all have different configurations. Have to think about compatibility.

Anyways, found a few bugs or annoying things on Graal V4 (Linux)

**Apparently there is a font "size" or atleast a height variable that somewhat helps.
But there is not a way to choose a font type that is easier to read for some people.

When running in a screen size larger then that of the level. the parts where the levels are not would hold the Kingdoms messages from the bottom right corner of the screen and make a huge mess that prevents you from reading certain messages at times. **not sure if it was because there wasnt a level there or what, hard to make this one out.

F2 Window cannot be resized

Playerlist doesnt show account names when cursor hovers over the name like the other V4 does. Playerlist will not resize,.

Description of certain(ALL??) items likes to be several spaces away from right justification mark (line usually denoting the value in plat,gold,silver coins).

This would be a nice addition if it supported truetype fonts, perhaps even with anti-aliasing.

I don't have this problem

Hm, I will see if I can add this.

I, again, don't have this problem. You are dragging the window borders?

Yes we know of that, will try to fix it soon.

ReBorn_Spirit · #23 01-16-2006, 01:03 AM

And how about the GTK2-2.8 junk. *grumbles some* Guess I get to keep trying...

I found I have 2.4, and I can't use the linux RC because it crashes when 80% of it goes white and locks up.

It's only RC, what could you possibly need to do to make it real fancy and require this new software?!?

**What about shortcut keys like the other graal clients had. like the alt S command to send the pm, or the alt R to reply??

Admins · #24 01-16-2006, 02:44 AM

RC: e.g. syntax highlighting when editing scripts
About PM shortcuts: will try to add that

Matthew White · #25 01-16-2006, 09:12 AM

It seems the original post about the ability to select fonts isn't quite right, I've changed mine by editing the config file that usually goes in /home/username/.graal/v4/...

Oh, but yes, the bug I wish to report. And this one is frustrating. This only seems to happen with the linux version for me, but it could be all LCD's, because I only use linux, so I don't know about Windows.

In any case, when you're walking around main, or any island with trees, the shadows of the trees flicker viciously when you move. And this isn't my hardware, I can more than support graal

I'm running 256MB Nvidia GeForce w/ the latest binary-only drivers installed, on a 19" LCD monitor. (Acer)

That is literally seizure inducing, wondering if there's anything that can be done?

Thanks

Matthew White · #26 01-16-2006, 09:15 AM

Sorry to add this after the fact

Ubuntu Breezy Badger 5.10
AMD Processor Athlon, K7 Kernekl 2.6.12-10-k7
No terminal error messages
Nvidia-Glx Drivers installed from Synaptic
640MB SDRam
256 MB GeForce Nvidia 5700LE
Acer AL1916 19" LCD display.

Can't post screenshots because it only happens in motion,
recreate the event by using an LCD monitor and walking near trees.

Sorry to put this in a separate post.

Skyld · #27 01-16-2006, 02:56 PM

An LCD screen shouldn't cause this alone. Sure your drivers are up-to-date?

Admins · #28 01-16-2006, 03:19 PM

It happens on LCD screens yes, it's the fake transparency with one black pixel, one transparent pixel, one black etc. Will try to add an option to automatically convert that to half-transparency

Matthew White · #29 01-17-2006, 05:01 AM

Oh ok, just glad to know it's not some botched setting in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf x-x

What distribution are you running, Dayaa (sorry if you already said this somewhere)
