glCopyTexImage2D() crashes on Ubuntu 9.04 intel driver

Recommended Posts

Several people have reported that the client crashes on Ubuntu Linux 9.04 (Jaunty) when using Intel drivers. I have finally managed to steal my daughter's laptop and can reproduce this crash. The graphics on this machine are "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)".

 

The crash happens at loading_win.c:100, in the take_snapshot() function during the call to glCopyTexImage2D(). The parameters in this case are:

GL_RGBA=6408

bg_width=1024

bg_height=512

also

GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE=3379

 

On the console you get the following message:

intel_tex_image.c:355: intelTexImage: Assertion `texImage->RowStride == postConvWidth' failed.

 

If I comment out the call to take_snapshot(), the client runs as normal.

 

There are a few bits of information on the web about this, including a Ubuntu bug report for another game; I am about to add a comment. However, nothing conclusive. Anyone have any clues what might be wrong, of course, its probably a graphics driver bug....

The following patch stops the crash and appears to work as before. I'm not too familiar with the openGL stuff so is this a valid workaround?

I patched it like this and it works, but yes it must be a driver bug.

 

void take_snapshot (int width, int height)
{
int bg_width = 1024;
int bg_height = 512;

glGenTextures (1, &loading_texture);
glBindTexture (GL_TEXTURE_2D, loading_texture);

glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

// texture sizes need to be powers of 2
while (bg_width < width)
	bg_width *= 2;
while (bg_height < height)
	bg_height *= 2;

glTexImage2D (GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, bg_width, bg_height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_BYTE, NULL); /* In GL version 1.1 or greater, pixels may be a null pointer. In this case texture memory is allocated to accommodate a texture of width width and height height.  You can then download subtextures to initialize this texture memory. */
glReadBuffer (GL_BACK); // Reading from FRONT buffer is buggy atm, at least under DRI2+composited environment
glCopyTexImage2D (GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, 0, 0, bg_width, bg_height, 0);

frac_x = ((float) width) / bg_width;
frac_y = ((float) height) / bg_height;

delete_texture = 1;
}

 

This kind of patch should be more or less harmless on other video cards too, so maybe Paul you could patch your packages like this? Or create a separate package eternal-lands-intel or something like that, would be helpful for some people...

Does anyone know if the latest beta/cvs releases of MESA (and the Intel DRI contained within) still have this problem?

 

It may well solve itself in near future linux distro releases... not to say that an 'eternal-lands-intel' package isn't a good idea :evilgrin:

The Ubuntu bug report is marked "Declined for Jaunty" so I guess its not considered urgent. A quick goggle shows that the only mention of this error appears to be for the EL client and a game called FreedroidRPG. May be we should just fix it in the way shown above as that does not appear to change the behaviour for other drivers.

Can the intel chipset be detected by some openGL vendor string thingy?

Good idea, we could investigate further. Though, I'm still inclined to change the code to the working version anyway.

I've commited the change vytukas suggested as it successfully works around the driver bug and works on other cards and both Linux and windows too.

I've already prepared an update to the Debian/Ubuntu packages. I have included the fix the for 64-bit eyecandy crash too. Previously, Entropy has been happy for these minor updates to the base release to be done as long as they are well tested. I'm happy to do an updated of the (mostly) static build too if this issue affects distros other than Ubuntu.

Problem with ATI mobility radeon 9700:

 

I/O warning : failed to load external entity "./spells.xml"

el.x86.linux.bin: radeon_mipmap_tree.c:117: compute_tex_image_offset: Assertion `lvl->size > 0' failed.

Aborted

 

I had to apply bluap patch to current CVS client to be able to play with an ATI mobility radeon 9700 card.

 

This note is just to update the issue in case some else has the same problem.

Just so I understand, CVS has vytukas version of the change but you had to use my original version to avoid the crash?

I've committed a hybrid version of vytukas's and my original suggested. This works fine on all the machines I have to test on and fixed a crash on a machine with a ATI Radeon Xpress 200M card. That card also needs "#use_animation_program=0" to work.

Oh my, Eternal Lands Crashed - Don't Panic!

A few of things you can try:
1) Make sure your system is up to date, especially your video drivers.
2) If the client crashes repeatedly, try changing some settings.  Either by directly modifying the configuration file (e.g. gedit ~/.elc/main/el.ini). Or clicking the settings button window at the login screen.
i) Enable the "Poor Man" option in the "Details" tab of the setting window.  Or edit the configuration file and set "#poor_man=1".
ii) Disable the "Use animation program" option in the "Adv Video" tab of the setting window.  Or edit the configuration file and set "#use_animation_program=0".
iii) Disable the "Custom Looks Updates" option in the "Server" tab of the setting windows.  Or edit the configuration file and set "#customupdate=0".

If you continue to have problems check the Eternal Lands forums, especially the "Help Me" and "Bug Report" sections.  If you post a message make sure you include information about your system; i.e video driver and version, operating system and version.  Make sure you check your error log for clues too and include the contents in any forum report.

This information about your graphic hardware and software may help.

ok I can't read error (I don't understand it)

what kind of error am I giving

kernel

video

audio

???

as if I upgrade to 10.4 I don't get crash but I get 4 annoying bugs so I want to stay on 9.10 (LTS)

I want to try to patch it with few updates from 10.4 and not all so I won't get annoying bugs

 

please help

 

I tryed it with updating opengl but I'm still heaving crash reports

 

libgl1-mesa-dri (version 7.6.0-1ubuntu4.1)

libgl1-mesa-glx (version 7.6.0-1ubuntu4.1)

libglu1-mesa (version 7.6.0-1ubuntu4.1)

mesa-utils (version 7.6.0-1ubuntu4.1)

xscreensaver-gl (version 5.08-0ubuntu5)

 

 

where can I find that open gl to copy paste and change it manually?

to try if that would work

A few of things you can try:

1) Make sure your system is up to date, especially your video drivers.

2) If the client crashes repeatedly, try changing some settings. Either by directly modifying the configuration file (e.g. gedit ~/.elc/main/el.ini). Or clicking the settings button window at the login screen.

i) Enable the "Poor Man" option in the "Details" tab of the setting window. Or edit the configuration file and set "#poor_man=1".

ii) Disable the "Use animation program" option in the "Adv Video" tab of the setting window. Or edit the configuration file and set "#use_animation_program=0".

iii) Disable the "Custom Looks Updates" option in the "Server" tab of the setting windows. Or edit the configuration file and set "#customupdate=0".

That code is already in the client so no need,

 

Have you tried the above changes to settings? ATI cards often have problems with "use_animation_program" so that is definately worth a try. The "poor_man" option turns off several features and if that makes it work you can turn features back on one-by-one until you find out what's wrong. If you can compile your own client from source the you could provide a full back trace from gdb which may help us trace where the problem is. Also you could run the client with the strace tool and post the last 10-20 lines; make sure your user name/password is not included in the text and do not post the full output!
