Title: Total system freeze
Post by: ChumpChange on July 23, 2006, 02:14:03 am

Hello,

I am new to Linux and new to Tremulous. I have downloaded and installed the game. The main screen comes up, I am able to see the server list fine. After selecting a server, I get the loading bars for the textures and models, and they all go to 100%. At that point, the computer locks up. It does not matter if I choose a server from the list, or if I create my own, it always locks up and must be hard booted.

I have disabled the firewall and have a fresh install of FC5.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Chump

do you get a mouse pointer in the top left of the screen when it gets to 100%?
can you ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a shell?
(also, if this is enabled, you can press alt-sysrq-k to kill all processes on a virtual terminal,at which point you may or may not have to manually restart X, but its better than reseting the system. if it's not enabled, running echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq as root will enable it)

No mouse pointer, no keyboard response, no ctrl-c, no escape, no nuffin. Can't get to the shell either.

I will just wait and see if there is a patch that fixes it.

Thanks for the responses.
