I did a fresh installation of Ubuntu 9.04 & I desided to install OpenArena to test it. When I ran it from the Program->Games the game started, but with sound & graphics-issues. I then desided to run it via Terminal/Console and you can read the result here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/223782/Specs of my computer can be read here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/223830/ |

product: Radeon R300 NE [Radeon 9500 Pro] So you've got an ATI, the problem could be related with your driver. What's the result of glxgears ? How many FPS you get ? Do you have compiz running ? |

Do u mean the Catalyst proprietary ATI driver ? If so , well ... the game log says it's trying to use MESA GL ...
GL_VENDOR: DRI R300 Project
GL_RENDERER: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 AGP 4x x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
GL_VERSION: 1.3 Mesa 7.4
...
If u have installed the latest catalyst driver , u are in trouble because they dropped Radeon r300 support. EDIT : in case the driver version is the right one , check also to have the correct xorg driver. |

The issues are 1. Intro-video is flickering. 2. The game starts very sluggish as thou I've used all the memory. 3. The sound hacks. |

Does this only happen with OA? How well do other 3D applications work?

I've asked because for some reason I see only the thumbnail of that image ... Anyway the dmesg output is incomplete ; I'd like to see it because the following output seems a bit strange to me : ...

The configuration section doesn't show the driver/module used/loaded EDIT : anyway the glxinfo says that the direct rendering is working How did u install OA ? By apt or official zip archive ? |

Yes, it only happens with OA. I haven't tested any other 3D-applications. |

I wouldn't use the version from the repositories. Also, you may be having problems with X.org and not OA. In some cases, it is beneficial to downgrade to get superior performance (that is what I had to do.)

Since ubuntu started using pulseaudio all games are fucked if you dont have a high end one.
I used ubuntu for 3 years but now i had to return to debian. I have installed debian stable (lenny) that have alsa drivers and NO pulse audio. The game is smooth now at 125 fps in oasago in a nvidia 5600.
Is all a software problem about sound. if you quit all the sound from you computer you will watch your game fly in ubuntu. But now you cant remove audio without removing the ubuntu-desktop packet, so is a big problem.
So, until Ubuntu developers dont fix the problem the mother debian is way better and stable than ubuntu for playing any kind of games.

Pulseaudio became a Gnome Desktop dependence so in squeeze ( now testing/unstable ) u are not / will be not able to remove it too. |

I beg to differ, I have (i hated myself) switch BACK to windows xp, from good ole linux, not because of OA, when I had this problem, I had no sound, if I did it was nothing but static. And my ping was high and fps was low, basically, a nightmare. If you use synaptic, you can uninstall the pulseaudio package and the compiz package, I realize you don't have compiz, but since you're in there, make sure. Uninstalling compiz took away my ability for visual effects on desktop, but helped with my graphics and ping (no more, "connection interrupted") Uninstalling pulse audio gave me my sound back with no problem. I did this in Karmic(9.10), which is only one upgrade up from jaunty(9.04), but both basically work the same as far as synaptic goes.
If you have alsamixer (comes default w/ clean install) then you won't lose system sound. I HAVE tested other 3D apps, and YES this only happens with OA, after I uninstalled both of these things, all worked fine.

As this thread won't die Karmic is out 9.10. You can turn off compositing you do not have to remove it! Compiz++ will be out soon, and will vanish with Gnome 3.0 anyway. Intel/Pulseaudio was the bane of jaunty, it suffered from a revolution and (PICK PARTY TO BLAME) for not making the transition smooth. but jaunty was a version that fixed an awful lot of workarounds that were needed! The probability of your problems going away with an upgrade are very high. If you are working on a immature driver; having pulseaudio problems...Simply Slap in a CD and try it out. That being said openarena used sdl audio and for the love of god the ubuntu packagers decided to package it with the alsa backend as are many other open source games you need to sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio without it you will get no sound without removing pulseaudio and will not de able to exit without dropping to the console. I hate the my distro is better comments. I loved Jaunty because it got rid of all my workarounds Karmic more so. Its not perfect see above...but its close. That said what I really want is a Distribution that serves open source gaming better. There are a few live distro's that show off some of the best Games but no package manager that looks after say engine mods or separates Card/Board/Puzzle games. |
