Example problem on new Ubuntu 9.10

happilylazy · Post by **happilylazy** » Mon Nov 02, 2009 7:10 pm

So I installed new Ubuntu 9.10 and Irrlicht 1.6, compiled the examples and there is an error. When I look around only textures that are in close proximity to myself (sphere around me) are rendered, those further outside are black.

Example on 02.QuakeMap example (Sry for whole screen but Gimp is not working, damn this new Ubuntu)

Does anybody have the same problem and what is the solution???
Halp brother here please.

Most common problem after a new install is that the hardware drivers are not installed. And it might look somewhat like that if it's using something like Mesa instead.

Do type into the console:
glxinfo | grep direct

It should return something like:
direct rendering: Yes

If it says no instead then you should install hardware drivers for your graphic card.

Is working fine here. must be your graphics card driver.

I had some serious issues with Ubuntu 9.10 too.

Ext4 ate my files, video driver not working properly, etc.

Solution: I installed Debian Lenny.

OpenGL 1.4 hints for either an outdated driver, or a very weak onboard gfx card, though. Could be that you're out of luck getting better results with your actual HW. Could you please post the output of one of the other examples (5 or 6 would be good).

Yea, those examples 5. and 6. are good.
But look at this.

Code: Select all

Please select the driver you want for this example:
 (a) Direct3D 9.0c
 (b) Direct3D 8.1
 (c) OpenGL 1.5
 (d) Software Renderer
 (e) Burning's Software Renderer
 (f) NullDevice
 (otherKey) exit

c
Irrlicht Engine version 1.6
Linux 2.6.31-15-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 14:54:29 UTC 2009 i686
Creating X window...
Visual chosen: : 193
Using renderer: OpenGL 1.4
Mesa DRI Intel(R) G33 GEM 20090712 2009Q2 RC3 x86/MMX/SSE2: Tungsten Graphics, Inc
OpenGL driver version is 1.2 or better.
GLSL not available.

hmm... Note that i chose OpenGL 1.5 and OpenGL 1.4 is used, could that be the problem?

No, the string in the chooser is simply statically created. Should read probably just read OpenGL
