Penumbra Overture don't launch

[acal3000]

Hi I recently got the Linux port of this game but I can't launch it

When I try to launch the game I get this message:

[root@localhost Penumbra Ep1]# sh penumbra
which: no chcon in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/qt3//bin)
./penumbra.bin: error while loading shared libraries: ./lib/libvorbisfile.so.3: file too short
Penumbra exited unexpectedly, please check
/root/.frictionalgames/Penumbra Overture/Episode1/hpl.log
for any error messages
Also try running
ulimit -c unlimited
And re-running Penumbra and try and recreate the error
then submit the generated core file or stack trace
[root@localhost Penumbra Ep1]#

I tried also looking the hpl.log but it seems the file didn't created I can't find it

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks

Hi !

First, never run games as root !

And try to update the libvorbis package

For the hpl.log file, run the game under your user account (NOT root) an post it here.

I saw a bit the installed files and seems the insaller make them bad lots of the files had 0 bytes but I saw the installer left in a tar file i uncopressed them and ten I overwrited the 0 bytes files and now complained about ccannot start the sound system in KDE. It don't impress me since i updated to MDV 2008 I have had some sound problems with sound programs I tried Fluxbox ICEWM and this one seems wnat to launch but say my graphic driver don't support some features but How can i update the drivers from a Radeon 9250? If ATi dumped the support long ago and I don't want to mess with the last propietary one since it's ages old and i can't find another open source driver one for this card

The hp.log file finally was created by the game (hope helps more) to fix this

Hmmm, I don't think your graphics card is supported by this game =[

But the winbloze version works for me and in the reqs says min geforce 3/ radeon 8500 as min

[Thomas]

Sure u have the latest drivers for your card?

This line is strange:
"Max texture image units: 140432928
Max texture coord units: 140432928"

Make sure to set shaders to Low, in options or else you might have problems.

Also, according the log, nothing goes wrong, allthough there is a test missing (might be because it is the Linux version).

The first error u say is becacuse of a currpost oggvorbis file. Is this still here? So far nothing tells me your gfx cannot run the game.

[ced117]

Dont forget to update your libvorbis package, so the corrupted file will be overwritted

[Urkle]

seems odd that the installer didn't extract the files correctly. Did you have low disk space?
If you could see how to recreate the 0 byte files during install bug so I cab recreate i can fix it.


As for the graphics, it looks like you are using the software GL driver on the system instead of a hardware excelerated one. Check that you installed the drivers correctly. Also try another opengl game and see if it runs correctly.
