Crash of game and mouse pointer blocked
Mon, 2008-06-23 10:17
I installed hedgewars in the laptop of a friend of mine (ubuntu), and when we try the game for some turns everything works fine, then game crashes, mouse pointer seems blocked, and I must reboot X. What can I do?Do you think I must modify the file xorg.conf?
The graphics card of the laptop is:
Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Hedgewars script for ubuntu is here...but maybe I have to update it first
Hmm... Hard to say what's wrong. Please, post debuglog after crash. It's located in ~/.hedgewars/debug0.txt
Here it is
Anyway I think I should reconfigure xserver-xorg. I will try it later.

Still no idea... Is that 64-bit OS?

I can confirm this bug. Im running hedgewars 0.9.4 in EEEPC (701)
Found the problem for me. I reconfigured xorg as I said, and now it works!
EDIT: No, I was wrong, same behaviour :/

I have the same problem, but my debug0.txt is shorter than the previous one posted (it probably crashes sooner) :
When it happens, the mouse pointer is blocked (even if I replug the mouse or use the mousepad) but keeps working (for example it is still animated when the system is busy). The key board works well however, you can still use your computer without mouse. It's really odd, I tried to make it crash to get a good debug0 file, so I restarted three times the game and the third time it crashed though I didin't modified the configuration. Another time I had to restart the game about 10 times to make it crash. Nothing in the system logs.
I use Debian Lenny amd64 with the Sid 0.9.5-1 package, and the nvidia drivers.
While playing with my friend there is this problem yet, I don't know if it's only in network games, but it's really odd
Now I saw this problems only on intel graphic cards,so I suppose the problem is here. Maybe some modification in xorg.conf can fix the problem, I don't know...

I'm on Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 64bits
I installed the debian packages so I could have the lastest version.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/hedgewars Package: hedgewars (0.9.4-1) [universe]
Several (most) times while playing i loose my mouse... its quite annoying. some times (very few) i can use it.
I though this was caused by using the debian packages, but it seems to be a common problem, based on this comments.
The windows version runs fine.
Another bug I've found is playing in network with windows and ubuntu every time the game finishes (ubuntu server) i have to close the game and restart, to allow th windows game to connect back.
Added after 5 minuts 15 seconds:
by the way is there any BTS for this game where bugs are tracked?
is there any interesse by the DEVs to package a version for Ubuntu on a Launchpad PPA?
http://www.ubuntu.com/news/launchpad-ppa
https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA
https://help.launchpad.net/PPA101
We have a tracker here: http://fireforge.net/tracker/?group_id=11
thanks for the BTS. I'll look into to it tomorrow to file this.
Is there any interests on you guys to get this into a LP PPA, so ubuntu users can have the most recent version?
since we are past Feature Freeze, the new version will not get in...
It's good to get in there, but only if someone could do it for us.
Thanks for your reply, and sorry for being offtopic.
Here is the Launchpad ticket where we asked to include the lastest version as a Feature Freez Exception:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/248087
The developers asked us to provide this info:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess
# diffstat output showing the magnitude of code changes relative to the current version in Ubuntu
# If the upload is a new upstream microrelease, the relevant part of the upstream changelog and/or release notes
# An explanation of the testing which has been performed on the new version in Ubuntu, including verification that the new package:
* builds,
* installs and upgrades,
* does not break packages which depend on it, or that corresponding updates have been prepared.
FeatureFreeze for new upstream versions
If you want to introduce a new upstream version with new features and/or ABI/API changes, please
* state the reason why you feel it is necessary
o (other bugs it fixes, etc.)
* attach (as files)
o diffstat (recursively) of the directories resulting from untarring the upstream tarballs
diff -ruN -old-version,new-version/ | diffstat > diffstat.txt
o diff of the Upstream ChangeLog (not debian/changelog)
diff -u -old-version,new-version/ChangeLog > changelog.diff
o note that the ChangeLog sometimes is called CHANGES, is missing or the tarball merely has a NEWS file.
o the NEWS file, if you think that this information helps reviewing your request (true for most gnome packages)
o build log (as file)
+ pbuilder has the --logfile option.
o install log
+ for instance a copy and paste of the install messages from console when installing
o mention what testing you've done to see that it works
+ a screenshot showing the main features could also be nice
Since you guys have the code and the experience ( i have zero experience on packaging and debdiff ), could you help us with the required stuff?
Of course it would be great if this mouse bug would get fixed by then too.
Thanks in advance
Every since I upgraded to Intrepid Ibex my hedgewar's video is messed up: Screenshot -> http://vinci.redtela.org/Shawnice/Screenshot.png
It also disabled my Compiz Cube Background any application using graphics is opened.
Any Idea what going on?
it's known bug in ubuntu
just wiat for fix (or jaunty)

It's really strange!!In my laptop, where I always played the game fine, I encountered this bug now, but only with Bath map.

Found the problem!!It's a bug (I think of the map), when I try to use all the hedgehogs of two teams (so, 16 hedgehogs), game crashes with the same behaviours of those in this thread.
