Re: Game does not run (GFX problem)

Im not quite sure if Teeworlds supports ubuntu, but what graphics card do you have? Maybe you dont have the newest drivers or OpenGL.
Looked to me like you have a integrated one so maybe it's because your card isn't supported or you dont have the newest drivers nor OpenGL.
You have linux version you sure that the kernel from linux are the same as ubuntu and it almost the same? I wouldn't say smile

Re: Game does not run (GFX problem)

Of course you can play Teeworlds under Ubuntu -.-
Why did you start Teeworld as root? Don't.
Try installing Teeworlds from the repositories:
sudo apt-get install teeworlds
And don't run anything as root. Ever.

Re: Game does not run (GFX problem)

I have tried the rep version too.

I tried now running the game at the local console (display :0) and that works perfectly.
But when running the game through terminal services VNC (xinetd), it displays that message.

The display number then varies from :1 to :2000.


grummi: Always when I install a new ubuntu system, I do a sudo passwd root, set a new root pw, and then uses root as my everyday account.

See this youtube video for more information, as you see, the LARGE VNC window is display :0, the local console.
The small windows (that are 640x480)  is terminal instances created by Xvnc running on Xinetd services. In the end of the video, you see me launching four sessions (small windows) at once:

Also the mouse behaves very strange over VNC when I run it on display :0. It seems like TeeWorlds use some relative mouse movement system, so I have to set the mouse in the middle of the game and move the mouse like a joystick and moving it back to the middle when I want to stop moving the cursor.

Re: Game does not run (GFX problem)

I have a very simple solution for you: DON'T PLAY OVER VNC! It's stupid, senseless and produces errors. (Even if it would work without errors it would still be unplayable.)

And of course it is possible to use root. BUT YOU SHOULD NOT DO IT. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
In fact there are programs that won't start with root privileges.
