No, sorry. I looked for an error log because I thought after the fact, to post it here but I can't find it. If I do I'll post the contents and you can see. I have read through all the logs I can find in folder and I cannot find anything that resembles what I read before. so my guess is that the log got over written with restart of the game. I am leary of duplicating the environment that caused the problems, simply because everything is working so well now I am afraid I'd mess something up. But if I do a reinstall I will definitely copy and paste the error for consideration.

I thought I'd post this with a big thanks to Blakkat for helping me troubleshoot in game, just in case it can help someone else: Issue - game installs but after boot screen crashes. poor man settings and all other tricks did not work. System Info: Asus N53SV Laptop Intel i7 Quad core nVidia Optimus discreet (intel/nVidia Combo) 4gb ram, 500gb hd, OS: Linux Mint Lisa (12) (based off ubuntu but with improvements and better compatibility with debian packages) Note: Ironhide installed flawlessly and ran other 3d programs with no problem. tried with and without ironhide, same problem. (can use some 3d without ironhide but very choppy, EL is one of those) Install Method: Tried both the ubuntu and debian repositories listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EternalLands Then tried the testing repositories that helped with blakkat's original issue listed here: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=56125&st=0&p=558274&hl=crash%20testing&fromsearch=1entry558274 none of the above resolved the problem. Was getting prepared to try a build from git (manual compile) when we did what I SHOULD have done from the very start, READ the error log. I mean actually READ the thing, not skim through. what I noticed was a whole lot of "permission denied" errors. So I did a quick test in the command line "sudo chmod 755 -R /usr/share/games/EternalLands" and then tried to open the client. suddenly it works like a dream. So, the moral of this story, besides the permissions not being set on install, is READ BEFORE YOU ACT. It just might save you some grief. This could be an issue for several that can easily be resolved, Since these same packages work fine with other set ups I could not say WHY this was an issue for me. Perhaps it's got something to do with the distro. I wouldn't think it has anything to do with the hardware. I don't think install woulwd check hardware before setting permissions. But in any event. It works. Now my only issue with EL is trying to get the mini-map to work right with this nVidia Optimus stuff. Got the latest configs from ironhide and still doesn't keep the map within the confines of the ring. BUT, I'm hearing that is a thing with the optirun drivers. so don't know what else to do. works ok with the intel but not the nVidia. but intel is choppy. But I digress. Thanks again, Blakkat. Hope this helps someone else some how.

I read both threads. The one on the memory leak and the one on over heating. The system has been running hot so I felt that was relavent, whether or not it's related. Since the behavior yells memory leak I thought that to be important also. I downloaded updated drivers from amd, but It was difficult finding the drivers since searching under notebooks yielded nothing, This is the link I found and used. Then I checked the modules file. It had only 2 entries dealing with the rtc so I copied and pasted the module names and we are currently testing one system if it works on this system we'll modify the other two but currently it seems to be working. Previously the fastest way for me to get it to crash was to bring up el and a web browser at the same time, navigating to a page with dynamic scripts (ex: translate.google.com) I worked with it for about 40 minutes last night without it crashing or over heating and I'm trying it out again today. So far so good.

System: Toshiba Satellite L305D, AMD Athlon X2 Dual core QL62 2.0 ghz, 3gb ram, Ati Athlon Radeon 3100, Ubuntu 9.10 karmic 64 bit Proprietary AMD drivers installed via "system"-->"Administration"--->"hardware drivers", restricted repositories enabled within synaptic. EL set to poor man, all eye candy disabled, NOT using animation program. Problem still exists. Problem: after 5 to 10 minutes the entire system freezes. can't force quit, can't restart, nothing, power button has to be held down for manual shut down. (only happens with EL program). Some times I can see the animation getting choppy and head it off by restarting the pc. I have tried uninstalling ALL ubuntu approved drivers and reinstalling AMD proprietary drivers ONLY, using Synaptic, but then nothing works properly. I end up reformatting and reloading when I try this. Start up log: GL_ARB_multitexture extension found, using it. GL_ARB_texture_env_combine extension found, using it.

We have 3 systems with identical configurations and all 3 have the same problem.
