nwn dont work in hardy (yet)

[Quikee]

I had a similar problem with java applications. The fix was to set the following env. variable:

export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1

and after this start the application. I hope this will help.

I tried changing line ten to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:./miles:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH and when i run ./nwn it gives me a segmentation fault with no message explaining anything else. Any tips?

I tried changing line ten to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:./miles:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH and when i run ./nwn it gives me a segmentation fault with no message explaining anything else. Any tips?

By removing the /lib entry, the new entry will be:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib:./miles:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Thus without the colon

Makes sense, tried that, and I got this:
ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:874snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Segmentation fault

I just spent a few hours wrestling with NWN. Among the issues I had was a "Segmentation Fault". I'm not enough of a guru to tell you exactly what to type, but your answer likely lies in permissions (or, according to some of my reading file names with mixed cases).

All I can say beyond this is that I have done a successful fresh install of NWN on a fresh install of Hardy. I'm using v1.68 right now, but will go to the v1.69Beta6 when the DL is done.

(other things I did involved removing the ./lib reference...oh, and I use compiz-switch to quickly turn off desktop effects before playing...oh, AND I'm running the game as sudo, but I'm not sure that's needed)

Good luck!

Some say that removing the .ini file help them (good idea to back the file up first).

I'm having the same problem as well...I've tried all the suggestions in this thread with no luck so far.

Same issue here. If I disable sound, I don't get the message about ALSA, just a segmentation fault. I've got nVidia, 64-bit, etc., etc.

Same problem here. It seems to be related to the following bug:

I'm running Kubuntu Hardy 32-bit (though I doubt that makes a difference), and NWN works perfectly for me after disabling the included SDL libraries, as above, and enabling the restricted nvidia driver (I use an nVidia GeForce 6200 LE card, for what it's worth).

Once before, when I was using 64-bit Gutsy, I too received segmentation faults when I tried to run the nwn script. In that case it turned out to be a simple permissions issue, as I had mistakenly used sudo when extracting some of the files to my hard disk. It might help to take a look here: http://nwn.bioware.com/forums/viewto...47606&forum=72
