Title: Couldn't get OpenArena to work even after installing libopenal0a Post by: Blue on January 20, 2008, 07:59:18 PM Hello,
i have recently downloaded your game, and i am in the process of getting it to work. heres my problem. when i load up the game the screen turns black, then the game quits. no error msg, just crashes. i poked around on your wiki site and found that i needed libopenal0a installed for it to work. i am running Ubuntu 7.10 so i did sudo apt-get install libopenal0a it said it was already installed. i dont know what to do, and my gfx chip is a 810 intel chip, and i believe my comp reaches all the specs required. SOS Help etc. Title: Re: Couldn't get OpenArena to work even after installing libopenal0a Post by: kit89 on January 21, 2008, 01:35:57 AM Run OpenArena in a terminal & tell us what it says, please.
Title: Re: Couldn't get OpenArena to work even after installing libopenal0a Post by: Blue on January 23, 2008, 07:37:25 AM Code: anthony@anthony-desktop:/usr/games$ ./openarena after i did that, i ran the game again adding this Code: *********************************************************** it worked, but REALLY choppy. and i do believe my intel 810 chip supports Hardware Acceleration. any ideas how to speed it up? editing some config file or something?

Title: Re: Couldn't get OpenArena to work even after installing libopenal0a Post by: sago007 on January 24, 2008, 10:34:26 AM Try installing 'libgl1-mesa-dri' to get some hardware acceleration (it is some time I installed on a Intel system, but I believe that was the package).
It was default in 7.04 and older but missing in 7.10. Title: Re: Couldn't get OpenArena to work even after installing libopenal0a Post by: Blue on January 25, 2008, 08:49:36 PM do you have real 3D graphic drivers installed in your system? i believe i do, Ubuntu had the 810 driver when i installed it awhile back. and andrew, i did, but theres so many options and i dunno where to start let alone where to edit them. Title: Re: Couldn't get OpenArena to work even after installing libopenal0a Post by: andrewj on January 26, 2008, 08:20:54 AM I think you will get a lot more useful help at the Ubuntu forums. Search them first, e.g. for "opengl i180" and I bet something will pop up, if not then ask your question.
