Tremulous occasionally will not start when launched

[sefs]

Binary package hint: tremulous

Occasionally on launching tremulous it does not start. I have to launch it 2 or 3 times to get it to start. It usually would then start on the second or third attempt.

I am going to try launching it from the terminal from now on to see what msgs I get when this occurs.

Hi,

Please attach a full copy of the output when starting from terminal.

Thanks!

Hi,

I just started it up, and was lucky to get output where it begins to start and then falls back immediately to the desktop. Sometimes when this happens it leaves the desktop in the wrong resolution too. Here is the attachment.

Thanks.

Tremulous Terminal output from crash.

Well that error could be anything.

I see you are not running a stock client though, so please try reproducing your problem with the binary that comes with the ubuntu package. Also try running it after removing most of your third party maps in your base directory, as some systems may run into a limit on the number of pk3's you can have there.

I am not sure what you mean by "I see you are not running a stock client though, so please try reproducing your problem with the binary that comes with the ubuntu package." The tremulous installed on the system came thru the ubuntu synaptic repository. After doing a clean install of Karmic. I installed it immediately after via synaptic.

Can you elaborate as to why you would think it did not come from the repos?

I will try your suggestion and delete the 3rd party maps.

Your suggestion did not help.

Thanks.

Ubuntu thread with someone else experiencing the same issue. This seems to be a Karmic issue.
