Running love 0.9.0 on arch linux (error)

[Nsmurf]

Hi,

When I tried to run love 0.9.0 OR love 0.8.0 oon arch linux (after updating both) I got a library linking error. Upon fixing that, "love08" runs, but "love" gives:

Code: Select all

Could not set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
Error: [string "boot.lua"]:322: Could not set window mode
stack traceback:
    [C]: in function 'assert'
    [string "boot.lua"]:322: in function <[string "boot.lua"]:233>
    [C]: in function 'xpcall'
Could not set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Nsmurf

Bump.

Anyone know why this is?

I want to play with 0.9.0!

Do you actually have accelerated graphics set up at all?

[Nsmurf]

No, just onboard graphics. Is that a problem?

"onboard" doesn't answer the question. ASUS EeePC 1000H has hardware acceleration, as does the FOXCONN A7GM-S 2.0 Mainboard. You might have to install a driver though.

What happens if you run

Code: Select all

glxgears

see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be ... g#glxgears on how to install

What exact laptop or mainboard do you use? See http://www.legroom.net/2010/05/05/get-b ... thin-linux on how to find out.

I'm running Arch. If you can tell me what graphics chip you have I can help you locate the proper drivers.

Sorry it took me so long to reply; I've been busy with real life stuff.

What happens if you run

Code: Select all

glxgears

see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be ... g#glxgears on how to install

Output:

Code: Select all

15 frames in 5.1 seconds =  2.930 FPS
18 frames in 5.0 seconds =  3.566 FPS
20 frames in 5.2 seconds =  3.846 FPS
20 frames in 5.2 seconds =  3.850 FPS
6 frames in 6.2 seconds =  0.975 FPS
19 frames in 5.3 seconds =  3.604 FPS
19 frames in 5.0 seconds =  3.794 FPS
...etc...

The graphical output was slow, but that's probably mostly because I was running it through SSH.

I noticed there are similar issues. I had it at some point too, probably just forgot to install graphics drivers back then though.

It typically means it can't create a window of that size, are you running on something that has a display smaller than 800x600?

from http://www.love2d.org/forums/viewtopic. ... GLX+visual+

Did you run love/love08 both without loading a game? Both should spawn a 800x600 window. Did you run them both over ssh? Are you sure X was running (on both?). What are the screen resolutions of client/server?

I for one can't run love/love08 over ssh at all using ssh -X or ssh -Y. I get

Code: Select all

Error: No available video device

Both computers can run love/love08 locally though.

OpenGL does not work over ssh, if that's what you're trying.

It looks like you are running an Intel graphics chipset. Make sure you have the xf86-video-intel package installed.
