Running AC on Xubuntu?

[KA:Konstalainen]

Any help? AC installed, required packages (should be) installed...

Running ./assaultcube.sh gives:

Your platform does not have a pre-compiled Cube client.
Please follow the following steps to build a native client:
1) Ensure you have the SDL, SDL-image, OpenAL, and OpenGL libraries installed.
2) Change directory to source/src/ and type "make install".
3) If the build succeeds, return to this directory and run this script again.

And running ./bin_unix/linux_client says:

current locale: fi_FI.UTF-8
init: sdl
init: net
init: world
init: video: sdl
init: video: mode
Unable to create OpenGL screen (Couldn't find matching GLX visual)

Thanks already in advance!

To solve the first issue, open assaultcube.sh in a text editor and change

[SELECT ALL] Code:

#SYSTEM_NAME=Linux
SYSTEM_NAME=`uname -s`

to

[SELECT ALL] Code:

SYSTEM_NAME=Linux
#SYSTEM_NAME=`uname -s`

For the second one, make sure you have the proprietary drivers for your graphics card installed.

I had already done the first one. I googled for drivers and got nothing. Typed lspci | grep VGA in terminal and got: "Intel Corporation 82810 (CGC) Chipset Graphics Controller (rev 03)". I wonder, is it even possible to run Assault Cube with hardware this old...

I don't know, really. Many people run AC with an integrated graphics controller, but I guess those are newer. Also, if there are no proprietary drivers for Linux, you probably won't get anywhere. Mesa is simply too slow to render extensive 3D things such as games.

I was not able to get AC to run with Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02).
Or it started but i was running to slow. Damn Mesa.

Have a look at Support for the Intel® 82810 Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
