ut2004 - error starting

[G.I.Josh]

I downloaded the demo of Unreal Tournament 2004. After installing it, when I tried to launch the application, it'd bring up the little load screen, and then just quit.

So I launched it in the terminal, and got an error about the glx driver. So I searched for that and apt-get installed nvidia-glx. I'm no longer getting that error, but I have the same problem. The new error is:

./ut2004
open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault]
Aborting.


Crash information will be saved to your logfile.

I can't make sense of it, but I'm pretty much a newby. Thanks for the help.

well lets see if I can interpret any of this

open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy

problem with the sound (would be a problem to look at after you get ut running)

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

I'm 99% sure that ut's dev team states that this message doesn't mean anything. read a few "readme" files if you don't think so.

Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault]

this means the program tried reading a spot in memory it shouldn't so linux killed it. But it doesn't really mean much.

Crash information will be saved to your logfile.

so I would look at that logfile to see if its more helpful.

Bah. I wish they would tell me where the logfile is in the faq, because I can't find it. As soon as I do, I'll post it.
