Immediate Segfault [Linux x86]

[offsides]

@urkle

For those of you with “shader” issues on the intel graphics cards, can you try deleting the “data/shaders” folder (you can’t just simply rename it as the game just searches in all folders). Once the shaders are deleted, does the game run then? The shaders themselves are not entirely complex, they are rather simple… mostly doing color shifts or brightness shifts and SHOULD work fine w/ mesa/open source DRI drivers.

Still get a segfault on 945GM graphics - not sure if it’s a shader issue. Get this same result with or without the shaders, so I’m assuming not… Fedora15, Core Solo, 1280x768 Intel 945GM 1GB

after it segfaults like that can you type “thread apply all bt” in the GDB console and give the output it provides?

certainly, this is the result it could be noted the I do hear the opening music for a minute before if crashes.

I’m also having this problem on one of my PCs… Running old Catalyst 9.3 drivers, launching the game gives an instant SegFault … If I try to run GDB on it, it totally locks the whole PC up solid, requiring a hard reboot. So I don’t think there’s much I can do to help debug the problem on that PC… Maybe I could run an strace or ltrace and take a photo of the screen when it stops. I’m able to play most other games in Humble Bundles though, aside from games like Trine where the game requires newer hardware or it doesn’t try to run at all.

Super Meat Boy and Shank is also not working for me on this PC for similar reasons (Instant SegFault)… Though I think they traced that back to some code that was using OpenGL extensions before checking if they were actually supported in the hardware and drivers. There’s several bug threads about that over at icculus’s website. . Under certain situations of 32-bit MESA compiled with ASM optimizations, mesa functions can return a non-null pointer to extensions that aren’t actually supported on the hardware/drivers and the app has to make sure it checks that the extensions are supported and not depend on the pointer being non-null… Otherwise the app tries to use a pointer to garbage and just crashes. Might be a similar problem, or might not.

Are you using the latest version of GSB? It was just updated on Dec 15th, and resolved all of my Seg Fault issues.

You were right… I redownloaded it on the Dec 17th and extracted it, but it extracted to a different folder and I had a link to the old version…

No more seg faults here…

I’ve got an asus UL30Vt laptop (vt=discrete nvidia video card) with a 1366x768 running linux mint 12 x86-64 (Ubuntu 11.10 derivative) with the nvidia binary driver.

When I run GSB that I downloaded from HiB last night I get:

I just read this thread (up to this post) and tried the various tweaks (deleting ~/.positech, forcing audio to alsa, and installing various jpg/libpng packages).

Inside nvidia-settings it reports I’m using driver version 280.13.

Any ideas?

It seems it’s having issues opening the font data file.

Can you check the gaqme installation folder and ensure that there are cwfont20.dds.dat and zekton16.dds.dat in the data/fonts folder? They should each be 400 bytes.

greetings all, I just downloaded GSB from the Humble Bundle 6 (version 1.56:0) and I have had the same errors as posted here for the x86_64 version of the game on ubuntu 12.04. I fixed the problem by moving the lib64 directory that comes with the game to force the game to use my native libs instead of its own, and that seems to have worked.

simply:

sudo mv /usr/local/games/GSB/lib64 /usr/local/games/GSB/lib64-bak

replacing /usr/local/games with your installtion location of course. I hope it works for you as well as it did for me.
