Bug 41173 – Cannot quit out of LGeneral, CPU gets pegged at 100%

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gregg Casillo 2004-02-10 15:03:09 UTC]

When I try to quit out of LGeneral, the game screen freezes, and my CPU gets pegged at 100% usage. If I'm running the game fullscreen, I'm total stuck; I'm not sure I can even CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE out of X. If I run it windowed, I can at least kill the lgeneral process. That's all I can do at that point. This happens on my P4-2.4GHz desktop at home running the latest gaming-sources kernel, and on this laptop running the latest gentoo-sources kernel.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start LGeneral.
2. Attempt to quit the game.
3. CPU gets pegged, game screen freezes. Have to kill lgeneral process to stop it.



Expected Results:  
Be able to quit game. ;-)

Does it do the same thing if you downgrade your libsdl to 1.2.6?

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2004-03-28 02:13:21 UTC]

please test out newer libsdl's (1.2.7 really)

[Comment 3 Congtat Cia 2004-04-21 08:00:13 UTC]

lgeneral 1.1.1 went SegFault and then halt when I tried to exit.
libsdl 1.2.7 did not solve this problem.

However, I tried lgeneral-1.2beta-2 and no SegFault anymore.
The 1.2beta-2 ChangLog on the official site said something about the halt when leaving.

[Comment 4 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-05-29 00:38:51 UTC]

I just added lgeneral-1.2_beta2 to portage and it seems to have fixed this issue.
I'm going to go ahead and close this bug.
