The Linux Thread!

Here's a new one, I was going through the logfile looking for errors and I see that it was full of these 3 errors:

Serialization depth limit exceeded at 'ThermalLink'. There may be an object composition cycle in one or more of your serialized classes.

Serialization depth limit exceeded at 'OcclusionData'. There may be an object composition cycle in one or more of your serialized classes.

Serialization depth limit exceeded at 'Contracts.Agents::AgentStanding'. There may be an object composition cycle in one or more of your serialized classes.

These appear to be a unity issue. I fired up a brand new stock version of 1.0.2 and all three of these errors are still all over the logfile. Any clue what these are? I'm running Linux Mint 17.1 64bit.

Prof_Strangelove, sorry I have no idea what's causing it, have you tried checking for broken packages in Synaptic? There's a filter for it.

Eleven, yeah, those are new for 1.0, they are generated by the heat system and the contracts system respectively, they seem to be harmless though, they probably should have been suppressed as they are unnecessary log writes.

Ah k...so everyone is seeing those

[sal_vager]

I am in my logs and in all the logs I see here on the Support forum

Is it possible to specify the location of an alternate glibc?

I am getting the errors

./KSP.x86_64: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./KSP.x86_64)

./KSP.x86_64: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./KSP.x86_64)

I've built newer versions of libc, but specifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not changing where KSP is looking for the library (which is in fact out of date on my system and not easy to fix).

Viz:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt

shawn@kali:/mnt/win8/Games/KSP_linux$ ldd ./KSP.x86_64

./KSP.x86_64: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./KSP.x86_64)

./KSP.x86_64: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./KSP.x86_64)

__SNIP__

libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f85291db000)

But my new libs.so.6 is actually in /opt/lib...

any solutions to this?

[soulsource]

Shouldn't it be LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib? Anyhow, if that doesn't work, you might have luck using LD_PRELOAD.

I am using Arch 64 bit.

My issue is missing sound when i run ksp, 32 and 64 bit verions both. Anyone else dealed with such problem?

[sal_vager]

Not as far as I recall kiwiak, can you provide your settings.cfg, hardinfo output (or equivalent) KSP.log, player.log and current desktop volume settings please.

[kiwiak]

this is my settings.cfg:

http://pastebin.com/0S4KMZNs

this is my KSP.log:

http://pastebin.com/AySC8cBt

and about player.log, i cant find such file.

[sal_vager]

You can find the info here

[kiwiak]

OK, here is player.log

http://pastebin.com/t7yBNApr

[sal_vager]

Well, right at the top e have this:

(process:13590): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed

And further down this:

FMOD failed to get number of drivers ... File not found. 

So it looks like you're missing some libraries that KSP needs, open a terminal and run the ldd commands from the previous link, they will say if a library is missing or an incorrect version.

Edit:

kiwiak you're using a 1.0.0 settings.cfg on 0.90, delete your settings.cfg and try again.

[kiwiak]

Thats strange, there wast any missing liblaries in ldd command output:

http://pastebin.com/ywr3JP3L

And these warnings you noticed are somehow all related to firefox, i googled them.

[sal_vager]

Firefox doesn't write to the KSP logs though, you have a 1.0.0 settings.cfg yet your logs say you are playing .90, that will cause things to break.

[kiwiak]

Thats true, that was the issue.

Thanks for help.

Curious question to the other Linux users out there.

Is anyone else seeing higher CPU loads with KSP 1.0.2?

I've been playing since 0.25 and never had issues with overheating, but suddenly I'm locking up left and right.

Watching KSP in top, I see CPU usage at something like 200%. My temps idle around 45, but get to 70 while still in the main menu.

Sometimes I can only play for 5 minutes, but sometimes for an hour. I can't make sense of it, but 0.90 definitely didn't do this to me, modded or unmodded.

Just wondering if I'm the only one noticing higher CPU usage.

EDIT: Somewhere between reinstalling KSP, reinstalling Nvidia 331 (from 349) drivers, and changing the x86_64 offsets per soulsource, my thermal issues went away, as did my lockups.

I managed to fix my problem, yay ! Turns out I needed to install the libwnck-3-0 package to fix a gnome-panel crash. Works flawlessly now !

Excellent news Prof_Strangelove, I don't use Gnome panel here so would never have spotted this one, I'll add your findings to the opening post so it can help others.

I think I found the offsets for the memory addressing issue in 1.0.2 64bit, but as I haven't tested them thoroughly, they could in principle

Please be aware, that I won't take responsibility for any damage done by relying on these values. As said, I'm not absolutely certain that they are correct.

Worked for me. Thanks very much.

Nice work soulsource, I've updated the first post

Can anyone find the new values for gerners fix for Intel card shadows?

I used to do this fix, but it was unreliable after a short time, for several releases now I have just used a hex editor, found the very first instance of "Intel" and zeroed it out. After that, Bam!, aerodynamic effects and shadows on my laptop

I used to zero out all three "Intel"s but on one release, I think it 0.25 it caused the game to slow down...after that, I started doing just the first one.

[sal_vager]

You are amazing Eleven, have I told you that?

lol actually, if you look one fix lower than where you just credited me, diego_gz's fix for 'no hardware support button' is what I used. I believe those two issues are one and the same, even though at one point there were two different fixes. At least that's the case for me and my laptop. I've had 2 different CPUs in it, an i3 and i5, and just using diego_gz's fix enabled aerodynamic effects and shadows for me.

So...I don't get the credit, I may have just stumbled into realizing that one fix solved two problems

[sal_vager]

Lol derp, all fixed now
