i have the same error in ubuntu 8.04

[Federico (dreamerman88it)]

me too!!!

I believe that this problem is caused by the DefaultDepth parameter in the xorg.conf

sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

look for

DefaultDepth

you should see: DefaultDepth 16

Change that to:

DefaultDepth 24

And then restart X (you could use ctrl-alt-backspace)

FretsonFire should run now, but there are other problems that need correcting. I think that the /usr/share/games/fretsonfire/songs directory needs to be writable to the user, then there is also a problem of the current version crashing on x86-64 compiles. I think that is a problem with the compile itself. Looks like this needs more bug reports.

Fretsonfire 1.2.512.dfsg-3 is now in Intrepid. Could you please test if the problem still exists in this latest version? Thanks in advance.

[jaylaprade (protcron)]

That worked!!!

I am going to test on 3 other systems this evening. I'll report then.

Reopening and triaging. This bug still exists in fretsonfire-game 1.2.512.dfsg-3 as reported by duplicate bug 276377.

Still a recurring problem, see my own bug 329219, cannot even open the program without it crashing, dump reports available at the bug report. Thank you.

We experience the same issue. The program is crashing immediately.

[Karol Hevessy (khevessy)]

same error but using restricted nvidia modules

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Lucid Lynx. I am unable to reproduce this in Lucid, therefore it may be fixed, so it would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed. Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Works perfectly fine in Maverick. Marked Fix Released.
