Linux segmentation fault

[Ishq]

Also, installing Linux drivers from AMD is probably not the best idea. It is best to install drivers from your distro's repositories where you know they will be set up properly.

I installed the ATI drivers from their website, downloaded a fresh copy of the Unvanquished source and recompiled. When I run it now, it doesnt even get far very into the startup sequence.

------ Thanks for all your help. This looks like it might be a fun game, but I have reached my limit. I will try your game again maybe sometime in the future.

Make sure that libGL.so isn't the one that shipped with your distro. It must be fglrx or w/e, not the mesa+gallium one.
Also, if you are running 32bit Unvanquished on 64bit os, install the lib32 compat gl from AMD.

I've noticed a similar segfault issue on a 64-bit Gentoo Linux system with a AMD Firepro (Radeon 7870M), using the proprietary drivers by AMD called fglrx.

I have tried both the 0.21.0 binaries from the site and just compiled the latest git with the same segfault results with both GL/GL3 renderers.

Sources were compiled with gcc 4.8.1

I strongly suspect this is an issue with the proprietary drivers but I cannot unfortunately break this system by attempting to go with the opensource drivers at this moment. I'll try again in the next days with the opensource drivers and post results.

I test these builds using fglrx drivers. It is more likely related to libraries. I'll have a look at this. Best thing that could help would be running this with gdb and giving me the function where it segfaults.

Hi Ishq,

I ran it with gdb and got a "no stack" despite comping a Debug binary, so I played around with the ccmake settings. I resolved my segfault problem with ENABLE_HARDENING set to OFF. What does that option do?

Alphathreethree, can you try with this setting if you have not yet resolved your segfault problem?

The thread is more than a year old, so I don't know if he's still around.

You may want to update to Opensuse 12.1 or newer. I don't remember whether I disabled the curses or not, but I'm running 12.1 on a 10 year old laptop and I can still play the game (with minimal settings).
