WoG aborts on 64 bit fedora 11richmore06/14/2009 - 01:07

I recently updated my system to Fedora 11 64 bit and reinstalled WorldofGOO 1.40

It worked on fedora 10. but it doesn't work in Fedora 11.
I am using the Nvidia Video drivers from Rpmfusion.

I used the method posted by DeadlyCheese but the game aborts.

the log file says:


[t=0.00] Loading persistent data...
[t=0.00] Locale en_US.UTF-8 matched to language en.
[t=0.00] Primary language: en
[t=0.00] SDL_SetVideoMode(1280, 1024, 0, 2684354562) failed: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
[t=0.00] SDL_SetVideoMode(1280, 1024, 0, 2684354562) failed: Couldn't find matching GLX visual



any help would be appreciated.

thank you

This is likely some problem with the graphics driver not working proberly, or at least not in 32-bit mode.

Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with Fedora, but maybe this forum post can help you set things up properly? (This appears to be much more complicated under Fedora than some of the other distro's...)

I used the information in that post to set it up. However on Fedora 11 the *.i386 packages were recompiled and renamed *.i586 or *.i686. so I changed the package names accordingly.

The log file  I posted is the result after the steps in the post were taken.

I have a 32 bit system with Fedora 11 and I have no problem running WoG on it.

Hey richmore, I'm also experiencing the same problem on 64-bit Fedora 11. It worked so well in Fedora 10. I also followed the same instructions by Soultaker and it still didn't work.

Lucky you :P

[Fuzzie@fuzzie-tablet ~]$ rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs<br />xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-185.18.14-2.fc11.x86_64<br />xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-185.18.14-2.fc11.i586<br />[Fuzzie@fuzzie-tablet ~]$ rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-nvidia<br />xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-185.18.14-2.fc11.x86_64<br />[Fuzzie@fuzzie-tablet ~]$ <br />

Yep already did... still not working though.

We have a 64-bit build of the game in the pipeline that should resolve these problems and remove the need for 64-bit users to install 32-bit libraries and drivers. Just wait a while. :)

Sounds awesome! I'll keep my fingers crossed ;D.

Re: WoG aborts on 64 bit fedora 11Soultaker06/27/2009 - 09:43

The 64-bit build should be up now (just use the download link you got in the mail); it's called version 1.41.

Let me know if you still have problems with this. :)

Well running from command line i get this:
[Fuzzie@fuzzie-tablet /]$ WorldOfGoo <br />Missing properties/ and res/ directories in /usr/bin<br />Your installation is incomplete!<br />[Fuzzie@fuzzie-tablet /]$ <br />

But with a little tweaking of the /opt/WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo wrapper script, it works fantastic! Thank you soultaker ;D.

2D Boy are great game developers.

Oops, I accidentally included an old version of the wrapper script. This should be fixed now, though! (If you get this error, please redownload the package.)
