  • 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.. :)

  • 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".
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.
