Unreal Turn. 2004 won't start

raven.sorrow · 05-30-2005, 08:36 PM

I have a Slack10.1 install on a P4 1.8GHz box (this is my full time workstation) and as far as I can tell I have the /etc/X11/xorg.conf configured correctly. But when I go to start UT2004 this is what I see:

Code:

xaero@biggeek:~$ ut2004

Can someone help in figureing this out?

It appears that you are having an issue with your video drivers. Running an NVidia video card, i had to recompile my vid drivers manually. You can actually download them for linux from NVidia's website. After recompiling them (actualy i had a friend recompile them for me) my UT worked fine. Also, other 3d games were choppy b4 they were recompiled. Afterwards, they worked great. I don't know anything about how to recompile your drivers, only that doing so would probably fix the problem.

I'm not using an nVidia Video Card, I have an ATI Raidon 8500

I can't help you much more, but I think the drivers that you need are located at http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html . I am almost positive that you have a vid driver issue.

If he's using an ati card then nvidia drivers won't solve anything, if possible, even make them worse

Do you have 3d acceleration? What output do you get from running this command?

Code:

glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"

Google didn't seem to be much help but all those mentions of fgl seem to indicate it's a problem with the ati drivers.

sorry for the delay, e-mail got b0rked for a few days

Code:

glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"xaero@biggeek:~$ glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
direct rendering: Yes

I had a similar error, and this worked for me. From .ATI's support site.

Quote:

The display driver requires POSIX shared memory to be enabled on the system in order to run these applications correctly. This feature should be enabled by default on most current Linux distributions, but may be disabled intentionally by some system administrators or not included in older distributions.

To enable POSIX shared memory on your system, perform the following as root:

1. Add to following line to /etc/fstab (if it isn't there already):

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

2. Mount POSIX shared memory as follows:

mount /dev/shm

3. Issue the following command to check that it mounted properly:

mount | grep "shm"

4. If the mount was successful, then the following output (or similar) should appear:

tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)

At this point, POSIX shared memory is enabled. Your 3D applications should run properly and the error message above should no longer occur.

If the output from this commnd is blank, then the mount failed.

If /dev/shm fails to mount, then this feature may not be turned on in your Linux kernel. In this case we recommend upgrading to a more recent Linux kernel, or contacting your Linux Distribution vendor for more information on enabling this feature.

Please note I'm no expert. That's just what I did and it worked. (Also note I'd link you right to the ati page, but it's frames. You can search "FGLTexMgr: open of shared memory object failed" on their search box and get the right page.)

Kind Sir,
No need to link me, your instructions works. I set up /dev/shm to be mounted at boottime, I mounted it manually and UT2K4 started w/o any issues.
