Tremulous Running Slow
« on: November 13, 2006, 02:44:49 am »
I have been playing trem for a while now without any problems on a Windows Machine.

Recently I formatted and installed Kubuntu, a Linux distro. I installed trem and now the game runs ridiculously slow. Not just when I am playing the game but even on the menu screen the mouse is lagging.

Any Ideas?

install nvidia/ati drivers, most video cards don't open source drivers that support 3d acceleration, and ubuntu refuses to package proprietary drivers by default (for good reason).

Ok let's plan it out. Asva, you are nub, go sit on rets, I will build, you two go feed like hell, you go pwn their asses, and everyone else camp in the hallway, roger?

enable the multiverse repository, then install the package nvidia-glx if you have an nvidia card, fglrx if you have an ati card (then you might have to edit xorg.conf to change the driver, i can't remember if the packages do it automatically)

well, first you would have to tell us what your video card is, the fact that i hinted at it like 5 times seems to have escaped you.

since you'll probably have problems fixing it if you break xorg.conf, first make sure the package didn't do it already. restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace), then run
Code: [Select]
glxinfo|grep direct in a terminal, and post the output here.

Unable to open display (NULL)

Also btw i have been messing with my system quite a bit. And at the moment tremulous does not run at all. It starts to load but then crashes without error. I see trem on the taskbar trying to load but i never see any of the screens.

don't run it from a virtual terminal, you need to run it from a terminal emulator (like konsole) to make it work.

direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect



Another note. I recently installed Automatrix and now the game will load like before but is running super slow
