Upon typing spacetripper-demo at the prompt to launch the game the first time I get the following output and it won't run: Welcome to Space Tripper! Creating /home/ryasko/.spacetripperdemo...cp: cannot stat `XYZZY/run': No such file or directory When trying to run it again it get this: Welcome to Space Tripper! /usr/games/bin/spacetripper-demo: line 38: cd: /home/ryasko/.spacetripperdemo/run: No such file or directory Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge spacetripper-demo 2. type spacetripper-demo in gnome-terminal window as user 3. spacetripper-demo doesn't run Portage 2.0.50-r10 (default-x86-2004.2, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r1, 2.4.27) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.27 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mirror.iawnet.sandia.gov/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo/ ftp://cudlug.cudenver.edu/pub/mirrors/distributions/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/ ftp://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/ http://gentoo.ccccom.com ftp://gentoo.ccccom.com http://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/gentoo/ http://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo ftp://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://mirror.tucdemonic.org/gentoo/ http://mirror.clarkson.edu/pub/distributions/gentoo/ http://mirrors.acm.cs.rpi.edu/gentoo/ http://lug.mtu.edu/gentoo/ ftp://lug.mtu.edu/gentoo/source ftp://ftp.ndlug.nd.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo http://gentoo.llarian.net/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://gentoo.eliteitminds.com http://www.gigaload.org/gentoo.org/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa apm arts avi berkdb cdr crypt cups doc dvd dvdr encode esd f77 foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile imlib jikes joystick jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mozilla mpeg ncurses nls nowin oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python quicktime readline scanner sdl slang spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex truetype usb x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
I'm on it... as soon as I find some time.
Found that things get installed correctly in the home directory if I change line #11 of /opt/spacetripper-demo/spacetripperdemo to the following: SPACETRIPPER_DIR='/opt/spacetripper-demo' instead of SPACETRIPPER_DIR='XYZZY' But then I get the below error after the display flashes: Welcome to Space Tripper! 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: 0xb6 Serial number of failed request: 102 Current serial number in output stream: 104
With a change of that one line in /opt/spacetripper-demo/spacetripperdemo, from my prior post, and info from the support pages of www.pompomgames.com I was able to get the game to run. The additional change was in /home/myuser/.spacetripperdemo/run/config.cfg I changed render_resolution 1.000000 to render_resolution 4.000000 Works just fine now.
Well, I fixed the sed problem. The resolution issue appears to be with your local client, as I have no problems with the game without making that change. Do you have all of the standard video modes defined in your X config file?
I have all the resolutions in my xorg.conf, but just recently found out that my video drivers were corrupted, and had to re-merge them. That may have been the resolution problem.
Well.... I'm marking this one FIXED then...
