Running 2.5 in Mint
« on: July 14, 2013, 01:33:24 pm »
I'm getting a run-time error with X when I try to startup ufoai.  Here is the dump:

~/Games/ufoai25 $ ./ufo
---- endianness initialization -----

Not sure what to make of it, whether it's a bug or just something in configuration.  I built the maps and everything compiled fine without error, though I had to skip uforadiant.  I don't see a log file to include, though if you need me to run something with a command switch or look somewhere, let me know.

Also, I have a nVidia Geforce 550GTX running the 310.32 nvidia driver.

I believe I'm running Mint 14.1 64 bit with KDE, on an AMD Athlon 64.  I have run 2.4 successfully before, but now I seem to be getting the same error with it as well.

Ok, figured it out and posting in case someone else comes across a similar problem, and they might.

Apparently, after I did a round of updates a while ago, the Mint repositories had a graphics driver update that didn't install correctly and broke my openGL settings.  A few openGL games were crashing the same way.  I downloaded the latest and reinstalled the driver using the nvidia installer and ufoai came right up.
