[r300] Minecraft crashes, fairly randomly [SIGSEGV (0xb)]

[Lightning Jim]

Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS

Installed: 6b18-1.8.1-0ubuntu1

Minecraft crashes for no apparent reason.

Mainly happens on Multiplayer

Java's error code:

SIGSEGV (0xb)

[Bram (bram-westerbaan)]

Also affects me.

Note that the problematic frame in Lightning Jims and mine error log coincide:

Jim:
# Problematic frame:
# C [r300_dri.so+0x495ad] radeonEmitVec4+0x3d

mine:
# Problematic frame:
# C [r300_dri.so+0x56afc] radeonEmitVec4+0x4c

Could it be an issue of the kernels radeon drivers?

Seems to be the same problem with me w/ latest updates and latest Minecraft beta.

I'm also having a similar problem. Minecraft has been crashing on me a lot. It is always as I'm mining. The instant a block is supposed to disappear, the game crashes. Not every time I mine, but every time it crashes it's at that instant.

Also occurs in recent update MineCraft beta 1.2_02. If it matters, I too have a radeon graphics card. ATI HD Radeon 4870 x2.

[G4JC (gaming4jc2)]

Adding more information after installing open-jdk6-debug and catching it with valgrind. Compressed attachment contains terminal.txt, the valgrind log, and the java dump. Please fix! :D

[jhfhlkjlj (fdsuufijjejejejej-deactivatedaccount)]

I believe this is a problem with the open-source ATI drivers. As a workaround the proprietary ones support the necessary shaders (some of which are unsupported and are the reason for crashing the game).

[jhfhlkjlj (fdsuufijjejejejej-deactivatedaccount)]

Is everyone affected by this bug running Lucid? If so, have you tried playing on Maverick with the same card? If on Maverick, have any tried on Natty? There is a large possibility that the shader support might have landed in one of those releases.

[G4JC (gaming4jc2)]

I'm running Maverick, I'll have to try it on Natty whenever it gets out or I feel like trying a nightly.
Still affected with latest updates...

Note that the xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd package is obsolete. All radeon cards use the xserver-xorg-video-ati (radeon) driver for 2D, mesa for 3D and the kernel for modesetting in most cases. r300_dri.so is part of the mesa OpenGL libraries.

Can anyone check if this is seen when running piglit tests? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-x/2011-January/001028.html

[Blue112 (bluesansdouze)]

I have the same crash using Catalist 11.2

I've run the piglit test suite, summary attached.

[Egon Elbre (egon-elbre)]

Had the same problem, installed gallium drivers as was suggested in this discussion http://getsatisfaction.com/mojang/topics/anything_but_tiny_draw_distance_crashes_minecraft_using_mesa_radeon_drivers_on_x11

How to install:

Not a fix but a workaround...

[Guillaume Mazoyer (respawneral)]

Problem still here with FGLRX proprietary driver on 11.04, at least with my Radeon HD 5750.
