Взаимопомощь GNU / Linux

I'm using an AMD HD5450 with Catalyst drivers (fglrx 15.200). But if this is a driver issue, remember that the game worked perfectly before this update. And the video driver did NOT get an update recently, so it's the game that stopped working, not the driver.

Icon: splash screen shows, then quits, no error message.
Script: quits without error message, but somehow closes the terminal window completely.

I do not have corrupted files, I just told you I deleted the ryzom folder. I also just told you I already reinstalled the game without succes, so I did not try a modified client.

Sorry if I seem a bit edgy, but to me it seems as if you don't pay much attention to what I write. Just as in your previous message about FXAA slowing down my game, while you know I can't start the game at all right now.

Delete ~/.ryzom/log.log file, run client and then post content of that file to http://pastebin.com/

It's would also help if you could run ryzom from terminal to see if it outputs any messages.

If it's 'PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (attempt to index a nil value)', then you need new client

I posted the log here, easier for me than pastebin.
And the error msg you posted is exactly what I get, the same as I posted yesterday.

What do you mean by new client? A reinstall of version 6447 didn't solve the problem. Do I need a newer version?

Thats strange. You have Ubuntu trusty (14.04) fully updated, you using ryzom-isv ppa (version 2.1.0.6447-0ubuntu1~trusty1 amd64)... and it does not work.

I see that you running /opt/ryzom/ryzom_client directly. Have you tried running /opt/ryzom/ryzom.sh to make sure ryzom files are updated?

I'm not running the client directly. I posted the results I get when clicking on the icon, when starting the .sh script, and when starting the client directly. When you asked me to post the log, I started Ryzom from the icon.

Can you run and post the results?

ldd /opt/ryzom/ryzom_client | grep lua

It should be something like this

liblua5.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua5.2.so.0 (0x00007f8de6b51000)
libluabind.so.0.9.1 => /usr/lib/libluabind.so.0.9.1 (0x00007f8de6934000)

Also to verify ryzom_client, could you run

md5sum /opt/ryzom/ryzom_client

and see if it matches

e5c60d198d52e9882d0595156ebc2f6c  /opt/ryzom/ryzom_client

arumes@RMS-DESK:~$ ldd /opt/ryzom/ryzom_client | grep lua

    liblua5.1.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua5.1.so.0 (0x00007f4bf3db3000)

    libluabind.so.0.9.1 => /usr/lib/libluabind.so.0.9.1 (0x00007f4bf3b96000)

    liblua5.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblua5.2.so.0 (0x00007f4bf07bd000)

arumes@RMS-DESK:~$ md5sum /opt/ryzom/ryzom_client

So there's no match. For now, I'll just switch back to the previous version, because I think the problem lies with the PPA, not with my system. And now that I'm switching back, I notice that the version you mentioned is the 'old' version. The latest version for 14.04 is called 2.1.0.6447-0ubuntu1, so without the "~trusty1" at the end. Now that I reverted the upgrade, Ryzom is working again:

Could you take this up with the maintainer of the PPA? Seems like that's where the problem is.

I'm sorry, I just understood what happened :p

Canonical finally updated Ryzom from Ubuntu Software Center but they applied the wrong version for Ubuntu 14.04 :( So there is a conflict between the 2 versions.

For the moment, I suggest you to uninstall the one from Ubuntu Software Center and reinstall the one from the ryzom-isv PPA.

Since I could again talk to a Canonical employee, we'll be able to fix this problem :)

Thanks for discovering it :)

C'est une bonne nouvelle si ça bouge enfin chez Canonical.

The problem that was happening is the following :

They applied the client for Precise (12.04) to all Ubuntu versions.

Under Precise, Ryzom was using Luabind linked against Lua 5.1, under Trusty Luabind is compiled against Lua 5.2.

So it tries to mix both Lua 5.1 and 5.2, which is creating these crashes :s

To fix your problem, I'm compiling new versions on PPA for Precise and Trusty (version 2.1.0.6449) with no changes in code but since version is greater, it shouldn't have conflicts anymore :)

Next step is to contact the Canonical Employee and explain to her that we are using dynamic linking and she shouldn't copy Precise package for all other Ubuntu versions.

Oui, je suis plutôt content :) Même si ça a entrainé un effet secondaire :p Mais tout n'est pas perdu !
