Description Volker Hemmann 2006-03-15 22:08:50 UTC
Hi,

last night, after an emerge --sync ut2004 was updated to the latest version.

games-fps/ut2004
      Latest version available: 3369-r3
      Latest version installed: 3369-r3


After that, I installed the ut2004-bonuspack-cbp2 and ut2004-bonuspack-cbp1 packages.

Since then ut2004 crashes on starup with this error:

I knew 'this' problem from earlier problems and replaced the ut2004 openal.so with my systems version.

Since then, ut2004 does not crash, but does not play any sounds too!

This is in the log with the systems libopenal, renamed to openal.so:

Comment 1 Volker Hemmann 2006-03-16 12:03:20 UTC
Hi,

worked around it by copying system's libSDL into /opt/ut2004/System.

But the game should work without the need to copy around libraries....
Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-17 05:15:27 UTC
Well, it works *perfectly* for me on my AMD64, with sound, using only the built-in libraries.  I don't have openal installed, since it isn't necessary for the game to run, but my alsa-lib version is 1.0.11_rc2.  I doubt that makes a difference, but it is possible.  I'm setting my system to upgrade now and will see if it changes anything.  Are you sure you didn't update anything else that might affect this?
Comment 3 Paul Bredbury 2006-03-17 07:52:33 UTC
I've seen anecdotes about this sometimes being a required fix, and sometimes being a great performance booster.

Both methods (binaries vs links to /usr/lib) work for me, but we know what Gentoo would prefer :)

I've included this in bug #126538.
Comment 4 Volker Hemmann 2006-03-17 14:13:07 UTC
Hi,

well ut2004 brings its own sdl lib and openal, so it should not matter which one, if any of them, are installed in the system. 

It is just a sorry fact, that ut2004 does not work for me with its onboard libs.

hm, from the error - maybe it is an alsa/glibc-2.4 problem?

but I had similar probs with earlier ut2004/alsa/glibc incarnations, so I am not convinced about that...
Comment 5 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-06-27 06:38:17 UTC
Well, I've been unsable to reproduce this.  I also haven't added support for selecting to use the Gentoo libraries for a reason, and that is because it was requested of me from upstream.  It's much easier for them to debug their product when it is the same as shipped, rather than having arbitrary versions of libSDL/openal with any combination of USE/CFLAGS.

I've tried to reproduce this and simply can't do it.

I do have one question, do you use the in-kernel ALSA drivers or "alsa-driver"?
Comment 6 Volker Hemmann 2006-06-27 08:08:49 UTC
I am using in-kernel alsa.

I always did.
Comment 7 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-06-28 06:40:30 UTC
Try alsa-driver instead and see if it makes a difference.  I use alsa-driver and everything works fine for me.
Comment 8 Volker Hemmann 2006-07-01 14:30:59 UTC
Hi,

I am rebuilding kernel without sound at the moment, I will report back in a few minutes, if it crashes with external drivers.

Hi, I tried alsa-driver
media-sound/alsa-driver
      Latest version available: 1.0.11
      Latest version installed: 1.0.11


and it crashes:

Log: [15]  ./ut2004-bin(strcat+0xaa) [0x52bc2a]

but when I replaye openal and libsdl with the system versions, it does not crash.

If I only replace openal.so, I have no sound at all. And no log.

btw, with the systems libSDL ut2004 does not return the command prompt after I end the game. I have to hit ctrl-c to get it back:
ut2004
WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change!
CTRL-C before main loop ... forcing exit.

but with the games libSDL it quits normaly.

So I have the choice betwen: clean quit, no sound, or forced quit, but sound. With the SDLs and  crash or no crash with the openals.

Comment 10 Adam Caldwell 2006-09-05 11:39:12 UTC
I had the same problem. Replacing the openal.so with the systems version allowed me to progress further, but now the game crashes before fully initializing with the following error:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  135 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode)
  Value in failed request:  0x135
  Serial number of failed request:  149
  Current serial number in output stream:  151

I am running xorg 7.1, nvidia drivers 1.0.8774, and glibc 2.4. I suspect the problem is with one of these.

Comment 11 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-05 20:00:21 UTC
Adam, we are not interested in the problems once you have replaced the shipped files with non-shipped files.  We do not support this, nor will we, as upstream has asked us to not support it and they do not support it, either.

Aside from this, we're going to have to see what upstream has to say about this, as they are the only ones with the ability to ship an updated set of libraries.

System libraries are used now. Upstream doesn't care anymore.
