Nexuiz for Linux not starting.....

[DinkyMan]

Hello I'm using Ubuntu and would like to play Nexuiz but when I installed it using the Add/Remove option it still doesn't work. When I click the icon the screen just flashes a couple times and then goes on like nothing happened. When run it in the terminal it says:


brandon@brandon-desktop:~$ nexuiz

I've used 2.4 on Hardy 8.04 and just upgraded to Intrepid 8.10 which has 2.4.2 and although I have a different issue it's always got further that your log there..

The lines following what you're seeing are for me
Using SDL library version 1.2.12
GL_VENDOR: NVIDIA Corporation
GL_RENDERER: GeForce 8300 GS/PCI/SSE2
GL_VERSION: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 177.80
...

Are you sure you've got your third party hardware drivers running/installed?
System/Administration/Hardware Drivers might show them not active??

Just a guess..

[DinkyMan]

yes I am sure because when I goto the Hardware Drivers section it says that the drivers are activated and currently in use. With a bing green light.

Try "glxinfo".
