Client ETL 2.81 - I386 - Linux

[Ralaoups]

Hello

I have a little problem with ETL 281 i386 with Ubuntu  (22.04 LTS) : I can't start the game :

 SDL build version 2.24.1 - link version 2.24.1

       0 SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) FAILED (No available video device)
       0 Setting r_mode -2 failed, falling back on r_mode 4
       0 SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) FAILED (No available video device)
       0 ----- Client Shutdown ----------

 

No problem with ETL 277 / ET 2.6B or ETL 281x64.

 

In ETL 277 it's SDL 2.0.x and ETL 2.8.1 is SDL 2.24.1. On my laptop I have :

ls -al /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so :   /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so -> libSDL2-2.0.so.0

 

maybe I need to search on this way but ...

Any idea ? Thanks

David

Try 64bit binary

It works with 64bits binary but I want to understand why it doesnt work with 2.81 / 32 bits (2.77 32 bits works).

prolly u have some missing 32b libs (dependancies)

ls -al /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so :   /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so -> libSDL2-2.0.so.0

well :

Fresh install 2.81 i386 : problem

       0 ----- Initializing Renderer ----
       0 SDL build version 2.24.1 - link version 2.24.1
       0 SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) FAILED (No available video device)
       0 SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) FAILED (No available video device)
       0 Setting r_mode -2 failed, falling back on r_mode 4
       0 SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) FAILED (No available video device)
       0 ----- Client Shutdown ----------
       0 RE_Shutdown( 1 )
       0 ----- Client Shutdown ----------

 

 

Same fresh install with 2.81 x64 : ok

 ----- Initializing Renderer ----
       0 SDL build version 2.24.1 - link version 2.24.1
       0 SDL initialized driver "x11"
       0 Initializing OpenGL display
       0 Estimated display aspect: 1.778
       0 ...setting mode -2: 1920x1080
       0 Using 24 color bits, 24 depth, 0 stencil display

==> no problem it works

 

 

My current install with 2.77 i386 : ok

0 ----- Initializing Renderer ----
       0 SDL build version 2.0.14 - link version 2.0.14
       0 SDL initialized driver "x11"
       0 Initializing OpenGL display
       0 Estimated display aspect: 1.778
       0 ...setting mode -2: 1920x1080

==> no problem it works

 

Version 2.79 i386 : KO

 

 

so lets play with x64 version...

It doesnt like ur driver / x server for whatever reason. 

Just use the one that works mate

Yes off course ....

sudo apt install libsdl2-2.0-0:i386

All is resolved  now with the 32 bits version.
