Second Life

[cwmccabe]

Max, I tried this on edgy but when I try to run secondlife I get a "Window creation error". Any ideas? Thx for the help.

I tried on Dapper and got the same "Window creation error". This happens whether I execute it from the command line or double click the secondlife icon.

I tried this last night. The Linux client works well but moving around the 'game' itself was an annoying experience. It seems to make no attempt to interpolate movement. Any character movements are enacted with the full force of network latency, making getting around staggered and difficult (like being drunk).

you should have seen previous versions..
but its getting better

For me it is just that my graphics card is not compatible so the game runs VERY SLOW for me. It takes at least a minute just to render clothes on anyone.

when i try to run second life i get

xsx@xsx-desktop:~/games/second-life$ ./secondlife
bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libuuid.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

even though sudo apt-get install libuuid1 is already installed

[Darrious]

You could always try to look on the SL Linux Forums.

got it running pretty easily, no errors at all. But there are some really weird graphical artefacts nd it didnt look as fun as WoW

[Darrious]

I really do not think that it is that fun. SL is more of an exploration game. It does not really serve a purpose other than to have an open ended game that is based on life.

Does it require Composite Extensions?
