WoW error nv 180.29 64bit

Hi,

More simply, you can try to add your username into the video group.
Log off, log in, and it's ready.

To do this :

sudo adduser $USER video

You should upgrade to atleast 180.44 too, it has some stability fixes for Wine.

[quote=dcstar;7189369]Same problem on my (fresh) 9.04 64-bit install, do this:

gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Add the following before "exit 0":

chmod 666 /dev/nvidia* &

In my case it brought up an error in VMware server when launching an XP VM.

I had the very same problem upgrading to karmic with kubuntu. My games started audio stuttering like mad. So, I bit the bullet, installed AMD64 Kubuntu Karmic from scratch. Then I installed warzone2100 and once it ran, it still stuttered, top shows warzone eating up half of the cpu and x the other half. I ran it from command line and noted :

wayward4now@iam: warzone2100

NVIDIA: Direct rendering failed; attempting indirect rendering.

Yes, I installed the 64bit version of nvidia from nvidia. For whatever reason, envyng doesn't work any more, but it is there in the synaptic to be dnloaded. I never had a problem using it. Ever. WTH? Ric

OK, that seemed to help. It's still stuttering like mad though. Now I get these errors calling up warzone2100 on a command line.

wayward4now@iam:~$ warzone2100

error : [rebuildSearchPath] Failed to remove path /usr/share/warzone2100/ again, because of No such entry in search path

It seems alsa isn't playing nicely. Any ideas?
