No graphics on Ubuntu Raring

hwttdz · March 20, 2013

Understanding that raring is only in beta now so breakages are likely, but it might be nice to possibly take a look at this before release rolls around. When I launch the game the "background" is not drawn, I see the menus, and they're functional, but they're just hovering on black. If I start a game the top bar is shown, the mini-map is shown, the cursor is drawn, if I hover over things or select things their health bars are shown. Everything else is black. No units, no buildings, no ground. Let me know what I can provide to help debug.

As I said using raring, and the 3/17 build.

This will most likely be an Ubuntu packaging or compilation bug.

Can you (as a start) run 0AD from the terminal? And post the output here. It could already give a hint where the error is.

Sounds like graphics driver issues. What graphics card/drivers do you have?

There doesn't look to be anything ominous there, but:

Did you run 0 A.D. on other operating systems on the same hardware?

Can you please attach a screenshot of the running game?

I have not run 0ad on a different operating system on the same hardware. I did successfully run 0ad before I upgraded to 13.04.

I'll run off to get a screenshot now.

hwttdz · March 21, 2013

Excuse me for downsizing, I couldn't figure out how to attach, and this is on my server for the moment, if someone wants to copy and upload that'd be swell.

If you will click 'More Reply Options', there will be 'Attach Files' panel.

Screenshot shows that textures are not displayed at all. Maybe you can try to run the game with Nouveau?

luziferius · March 25, 2013

to verify a compile/package bug you could switch to the 0ad ppa here: https://launchpad.ne...fg/+archive/0ad

(or lastest dev snapshots from here)

if those error too, its somewhere system related, if those work, its a packaging bug in the ubuntu repositories

On Raring now, 0 A.D. (thricely stable, svn and the multi-lobby git) works just fine.
