I installed gltron with synaptic, while playing the computer chashes, nothing is working anymore, ctrl-alt-f1 won't work.
Architecture: i386
Ubuntu Edge Eft (6.10)

crashcounter: 5 (crashes after 3 minutes playing, I did a cold restart, no problems booting ubuntu)

Thanks for your bug report!

Please try starting gltron from the terminal like this:

$ gltron > ~/Desktop/gltron.output
(if the command to start it isn't just "gltron" replace it with the correct name)

When you start again there should be a text file called "gltron.output" on your Desktop, please attach it here.

[Artexanis (hans-vereyken)]

I did exactly like you said, the text file is on my desktop but it is 0 bytes, the file is completly blank.
In the terminal there was a lot of text comming up, is it that text that should be in the file?

I think this bug has nothing to do with GLTron, i tried an alternative: armagetron, same thing happened. I also tried TuxKart, also this game crashes after approximately 3 minutes.
Is this a bug in rendering 3D? 2D games are running fine.
I tried armagetron ~/Desktop/armagetron.output and tuxkart ~/Desktop/tuxkart.output, this files where blank.
To be sure I'm not wrong I tried sudo apt-get update ~/Desktop/update.output to see whats in the file. In update.output contained the text thats normally in the terminal.

[Siegfried Gevatter (rainct)]

Yes, the text it should have is that what you get in the terminal.

Indeed it looks like it's a problem with the graphics (3D). Can you check if there's something useful in /var/log/syslog or /var/crash?

Thanks

This file i found in my crash folder. I think it is strange because the crashcounter is 1, it should be 6. There should be also two other programs with a crash report...

[Artexanis (hans-vereyken)]

I am trying to track down the problem, so I downloaded the win32 version of GLtron and installed it with wine. Again after 3 minutes playing the system just hangs. Restarted, no crash report, nothing useful in the syslog... so I tried to start from the terminal: wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/GLTron/gltron.exe > ~/Desktop/wine_gltron.output Results in a blank file again.

[Artexanis (hans-vereyken)]

Played again, in windowed mode, so i can see the clock. The system hangs at 16:57:03, this is wats in the syslog:

Sorry for not getting back to you. Can you confirm if this is still an issue with Ubuntu Hardy?

[Thomas Hotz (thotz-deactivatedaccount)]

Does this still happen with supported Ubuntu versions? I cannot reproduce this error on my machine.
