Hi, I am running Arch Linux x64 with a Nvidia 8600GT card using the nouveau drivers. I downloaded Ryzom and installed it to a folder in my home directory. I ran the updater from the command line then tried to run the client the same way. After an few seconds the terminal spits out "Segmentation fault" and nothing happens. After reading around I noticed someone using Slackware x64 had the same problem and it was because they forgot to install something. I am wondering if I am having a similar problem. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this problem because I'm stumped at this point?

I have also been trying out the proprietary Nvidia drives, for this and other games. The client still didn't work. Something about glib error. I don't remember exactly.

log.log is around 700 lines, so it hasn't been much use to me either.

you need to enable the lib32 repository in your /etc/pacman.conf

then do: pacman -Sy

then, install lib32-nvidia-utils (you can also use nouveau driver, but the game it's quite slow) and a bunch of other lib32-xxxx dependencies (lib32-glibc, et al) although from now on the game would complain about missing libraries and you need to just do pacman -S lib32-[library]

I would prefer to use the nouveau driver unless it's going to really hurt game play. I like the KMS that nouveau offers. Also, do you mean the multilib? I believe that's where pacman gets 32 bit binaries from for x64 systems. If so I already have it enabled and synced. With the nouveau driver the only error the terminal gives me is "segmentation fault." So I don't know which lib32 dependencies I am missing, if any. Is there a list somewhere so that I can check to make sure that I have all of the dependencies?

Additional: I loaded up the Nvidia driver and my error is actually "ERR f55cb700 driver_opengl_window.cpp 1068 setDisplay <Unknown> : glXChooseVisual() failed"

Also says, "NeL3D: OpenGL isn't initialized"

I think I may have a problem in my xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d. I don't know why else it would be having a problem. After looking on the net someone else didn't have a glx extention, but when I checked I did.

Here is the post http://dev.ryzom.com/boards/18/topics/5605

I would still prefer to get it working with nouveau.

check this: http://dev.ryzom.com/boards/18/topics/3748

I'm agreed with you in how useful KMS is for working and daily use (and for its FLOSS background), but for ryzom nouveau driver isn't a good choice (for me): although it works, it is slow and almost unplayable (GF 8400 GS card on a core2duo 1.6 GHz Inspiron 1420)

Thank you very much for the suggestion and continued support. I was excited when I saw that I didn't have the lib32 of xrandr and dc++5; however, it still isn't working for me. Perhaps I am still missing some 32bit libs? An official dependency list would be great. We have pretty similar hardware. I am on an Inspiron 1720 with a core2duo 2.0 GHz :D

you can check which libraries are needed and used by running 'ldd ryzom_client' from terminal.

to see where segfault occurs, you need to run 'gdb ./ryzom_client' and then 'bt' after it has crashed

Thanks for the advice Karu. Unfortunately I still can't get it to work. I ran ldd on ryzom client, but didn't turn up anything that I don't already have installed(I think). I checked for all of them with pacman and google. So maybe I just don't have something configured right?

Also, I ran gdb ./ryzom_client and got "Reading symbols from /home/paintchip/ryzom/ryzom_client...(no debugging symbols found)...done."

bt resulted in it saying "No stack."

Any more suggestions? I feel like we are narrowing it down. Thanks guys.

ohh sorry. you need to run it with 'r' command first.

Alright, this is what I got after the r command

I'm not sure how to use the output of this command. I'm not much of a programmer (just a little perl). Is there anyway I can use the numbers given to find a spot in the code where the problem is occurring? Thanks again.

I was hoping it shows bit more info, but it's probably in OpenGL code.

I installed ArchLinux myself for testing.

Got ryzom working with 'nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils' packages
It probably fails in glXChooseVisual(), because you probably still have lib32-libgl installed.

i do still have libgl installed because it is required by the nouveau driver. when i tried out the nvidia driver i had to remove it because it conflicts with nvidia-utils. i still couldn't get the client to start. how did you install it? i just unpacked the game into a folder in my home dir. could libgl be having trouble resizing my screen because of a setting somewhere? sorry about the lack of capitalization, i'm typing from a phone.

if you installing nvidia-utils, you replacing libgl for 64bit side. Because ryzom client is 32bit, you also meed to install lib32-nvidia-utils which will replace libgl for 32bit side.

I was not able to get ryzom working with nouveau driver. It kept segfault'ing.

I should have specified that I exchanged both libgl and lib32-libgl for nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils. I still have the same problem. I even tried re-installing after I installed the nvidia driver and utils.

Also, here is the output of gdb and bt with the nvidia driver

Great news, I figured out the user error! I got the game working with the Nvidia driver, but still haven't figured out what was wrong with the nouveau driver. I will explain how I got it so anyone with the same problem can just read this.

The problem I was having was that the Nvidia driver was using the nouveau settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d instead of the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which is created by running the nvidia-xconfig command. To fix this I just created a "save" directory in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and put 10-monitor.conf and 20-nouveau.conf in there. That way x.org didn't read the settings in 10-monitor.conf and 20-nouveau.conf and use them in place of the ones in xorg.conf. I think I just needed to move 10-moniter.conf, but I moved both just to be sure. Once it was using the correct settings the game ran flawlessly, although my default kebindings were different than my window's ones :D Be sure not to get rid of xorg.conf.d because it handles other settings, like keyboard input and touchpad settings. Messing with other files might cause your keyboard and touchpad not to work once X starts. If I figure out how to get Nouveau to work I will post that as well. Thanks for all of the help guys.
