Warzone2100 fails to close

[xZachtmx]

Hi i want to help develop Warzone2100 and im using ubuntu karmic 9.10. At a point i got warzone to work but then for some reason whe i try to exit z it stops at the ending screen (that says pumpkin studios) an does not exit until i reboot. i do not know why this is happening but even after i did a fresh install of ubuntu the problem persisted. right now im using vesion 2.2.4 source code but the bug also happened on earlier versions. Does anyone have a clue?

Anyone that wants to develop is welcome.

That looks like a bug, but you need to report it!
This isn't a good report, devs need more info.
What you wrote explains almost nothing.

[stiv]

First guess is a problem shutting down the sound subsystem. Running from the command line so you can see messages often gives a clue.

[xZachtmx]

Well this only happens in fullscreen aparently O.o... i cant see output from terminal because i cant exit without rebooting.. runs fine in windowed so im stumpped. I will report it.

[commander]

Same problem here. Btw, sound subsistem is fine, I was playing music during the game - the sound is there on exit.
strace -c warzone2100 output below if you needed. I loaded savegame and exited. Btw, the problem usually occurs after countinious gameplay.

Have you tried running a stack trace?

[commander]

Stack trace? not sure what is it..

[commander]

I made a little bit of research. This is a SIGSEGV trouble, because of ALSA. viewtopic.php?f=14&t=71
I am trying to use the solution found here: http://tweetmeme.com/story/363541072/ho ... australien
Lets see how it works...

[Zarel]

A segfault would not cause Warzone to fail to close...

A stack trace is where you output the stack. You get it by attaching GDB to a program and running "backtrace" or "bt".

[commander]

Ok, the solution worked:) Now warzone closes without problems and the sound is fine. However, it started to crash unexpectedly. Any ideas?

Can you please give me the shell command I should execute? (ubuntu 9.10)

Send us the crash dump? (It should be in /tmp/)

No need; it appears you already fixed the freeze.

[commander]

There is no crash dump in /tmp... Crash happens after I load savegame. This is a transport mission, so as soon as I put units in the transport the game crashes. I am attaching a savegame files in zip archive.

[kainalu]

I get this all the time with Linux games. It has to do with a certain incompatibility with the pulse audio server. The best temporary fix is to install and use old-fasioned ALSA without PULSE. Since I have to look how to do that under the new Ubuntu, Try this for now:

a temporary solution:
sudo apt-get install htop ( a nicer top-like program)

WHEN THE GAME FREEZES:
push 'ctrl+alt+F1'
log in using your normal username and password
run "htop".
find the warzone2100 process and highlight it with the keyboard arrows
push F9 (kill)
push 9, then enter. This will kill Warzone
push 'ctrl+alt+F7' to get back to Ubuntu.

[cybersphinx]

WHEN THE GAME FREEZES:
push 'ctrl+alt+F1'
log in using your normal username and password

Run "killall -9 warzone2100".

This will kill Warzone
push 'ctrl+alt+F7' to get back to Ubuntu.
