[SOLVED] How-TO get started?

total newbie here...

not a huge gamer, but xonotic looked like fun.

I don't find any significant info on how to set up xonotic so I can just play local games against the computer. nor much else on how to set up from scratch either. am I missing something?

I'm on Linux (Centos 5.6 - 32 bit), AMD Phenom II X2, 4 gigs RAM, Nividia 9800GT.

to be specific, whenever I start up the game, I get some fast-moving graphics followed by returning to the screen I had before I started xonotic. there are a lot of diagnostics in the terminal window, but it ends with:

Code:

<lots of stuff deleted...>
SndSys_Init: PCM device is "default"
Sound format: 48000Hz, 2 channels, 16 bits per sample
ioctl CDROMREADTOCHDR failed
CDAudio_Init: No CD in player.
Initial CD volume: 1
CD Audio Initialized
MQC Build information: xonotic-v0.5.0
Received signal 11, exiting...
Invalid response from keygen server:

and returns to the prompt.

Been looking in the fora but haven't yet found anything helpful.

Suggestions welcome, thanks in advance!

This bug is indeed not known yet. Your system should be fine.

Can you try running it in gdb, and do a backtrace?

(Quick usage:

gdb ./xonotic-linux64-glx
(gdb) run
then it'll crash
(gdb) bt full
...
(gdb) quit

and post the bt full output here

Also, can you try running it with the option -developer to see if you get any extra output, and post the IP address you had when getting the error? I suspect the code gets a weird HTTP error and cannot handle it properly.

BTW, I'm using the 32-bit version, in case it matters.

here's the output of the -developer option:

Code:

$ ./xonotic-linux32-glx -developer

I'll see if I can dig up a 64-bit live CD of the same OS and try iton 64-bit, if I can find the time. If so, I'll post here again.

replying to your #2 posting:

I'm using a 32-bit OS and therefore the 32-bit Xonotic.

when I run

$ gdb ./xonotic-linux32-glx

the game doesn't die--well, maybe it does, but: I get a screen with some instructions on it and seem to be stuck there. it's in fullscreen mode, so I can't see what has happened in the terminal I ran it from. How can I run it in windowed mode?

---

This bug is indeed not known yet. Your system should be fine.

Can you try running it in gdb, and do a backtrace?

(Quick usage:

gdb ./xonotic-linux64-glx
(gdb) run
then it'll crash
(gdb) bt full
...
(gdb) quit

and post the bt full output here

ah, figured out how to get the data. here's the gdb output from a stack backtrace:

Code:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

when I run
gdb ./xonotic-linux32-glx

You're doing it wrong You have to run the shellscript, that'll decide if you have 32 or 64 bit system, and sets the correct paths too.

when I run
gdb ./xonotic-linux32-glx

You're doing it wrong You have to run the shellscript, that'll decide if you have 32 or 64 bit system, and sets the correct paths too.

yeah, I know about the shellscript. but the other poster asked specifically to run it that way, under gdb. doesn't work, either way.

Okay, so the crash is inside libcurl. I'd really like to try to produce the crash on my own system to see which side has the problem.

What is the version of your libcurl package? We might be using a curl functionality that isn't supported on CentOS's version.

well, I tried running Xonotic on my centos-6 eeepc, where it runs fine, given the rather severe limitations of that particular hardware platform.

so I stole the libcurl from that system and placed it in the "main" directory of xonotic on my centos 5.6 system. added statement to the *glx.sh script to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the path of the libcurl I added and tried running it.

result: no difference, it still dies in libcurl.

but oddly, when it dies (under gdb) it still reports /usr/lib/libcurl.so.whatever, NOT the one I placed there for it to use.

apparently there's something I don't understand about how it uses/accesses libcurl... I'd expect LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be the right tool to use.

In some cases, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is ignored, namely, when the executable uses a DT_RPATH section. That one takes precedence even over LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Try LD_PRELOADing your other libcurl instead.

great, thanks!

did that then had to follow up by bringing over another half-dozen libraries and adding them to LD_PRELOAD, then finally it wanted a newer libc.so.6, so I brought it over too. after that trying to run the program results in:

./xonotic-linux32-glx: error while loading shared libraries: /home/fredex/myfiles/programs/xonotic/Xonotic/libc.so.6: ELF file OS ABI invalid

so I guess I'm scrod at this point. Not sure if I want to go to the additional hassle of finding a libc.so that fulfills the xonotic requirements AND runs on my platform. Perhaps when I get around to upgrading the OS on this machine I can then come back to xonotic.

Thanks a lot to all of you for your assistance!

I am currently trying to set up a CentOS 5.6 VM... so stay tuned.

I can indeed reproduce the issue on CentOS 5.6. Now trying to get the compiler to work, so I can see if I can fix it.

I think I found the issue. A fix will soon be available.

Not sure if we will release a hotfix for this though, as CentOS (and even an outdated version of it) is not exactly the platform of choice for gamers. But you can try tomorrow's autobuild.

This is actually a bug in our code, but libcurl contains a workaround for that for 5 years now since curl 7.16.1, which is why it got unnoticed:

https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/61...0862bbfc6f

BTW: CentOS' 5.7 directory already contains this workaround, too.

So your options are:

- tomorrow's autobuild containing a fix for this issue
- install a newer libcurl version from sources, and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use it

thanks for the troubleshooting!

does that mean it should work without your fix on Centos 5.7?

If not, can someone advise me where to find the autobuild? The file being offered for download at the download link appears to be identical to the one I already have, so that must not be the correct location.

thanks again!

Yes, it'll work without the fix on CentOS 5.7 once it's out. Also should work on CentOS 6.0 without the fix.

The autobuild is at http://beta.xonotic.org/autobuild/Xonoti...engine.zip (user xonotic, pass g-23).

thanks, that's working great!

Now if only I had some manual dexterity....
