Nightsy Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I'm running Mageia, and for the life of me cannot figure out how to get the SL viewer to work. I follow the instructions, unpack the files, but nothing happens when I click on the secondlife icon. It simply does nothing, where I understand it should be launching the viewer. No error messages appear, just... nothing. Could I be missing some dependencies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenni Darkwatch Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I'm guessing, but if Mageia is 64bit then you need the 32bit compatibility libraries. Run SL from a terminal, that ought to give you a hint on what's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightsy Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 From a terminal, I get "command not found". It does not seem that the "secondlife" file is executable, no matter which viewer I try or how mant times I re-download the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were the case, Mageia would have to be a lot more broken than I'd consider possible. From a terminal, cd into the directory where the file is extracted and "ls -la secondlife" -- I'll be very surprised if it doesn't report "-rwxr-xr-x" ... and assuming it does: you know that the current directory is typically not in the default search path, right? so you'd have to issue "./secondlife" to execute it.

Nightsy Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Ah, the "./secondlife" does seem to do something, at least. Thanks for the tip, I did not find that yet in any other troubleshooter/manual I read on this. The command does give this output: "./secondlife: line 95: ./etc/register_secondlifeprotocol.sh: No such file or directory ./secondlife: line 98: ./etc/refresh_desktop_app_entry.sh: No such file or directory ./secondlife: line 138: bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: No such file or directory *** Bad shutdown ($LL_RUN_ERR). *** You are running the Second Life Viewer on a x86_64 platform. The most common problems when launching the Viewer (particularly 'bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: not found' and 'error while loading shared libraries') may be solved by installing your Linux distribution's 32-bit compatibility packages. For example, on Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linuxes you might run: $ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-kde ia32-libs-sdl ******************************************************* This is a BETA release of the Second Life linux client. Thank you for testing! Please see README-linux.txt before reporting problems." So I suppose I will have to install the 32-bit compatibility packages and try again.

Jean Horten Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Go to the directory where you unpacked your viewer archive, look for a file called (viewername).sh and run that one I'd recommend to use a 64 bit viewer on 64 bit systems ( Singularity or Kokua) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightsy Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hmmm... The only .sh file I have, is "install.sh". Running that (as su), yields: ./install.sh: line 80: /Games/SL/etc/refresh_desktop_app_entry.sh: No such file or directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenni Darkwatch Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Out of curiosity, what's the output of "ls -la" in that directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenni Darkwatch Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Aside from the "Second/" directory that looks fine. I've got no idea what Mageia broke there. For reference, this is what is in my bin/ and etc/ subdirectories: bin/:total 54252-rwxr-xr-x 1 jennifer jennifer 50686923 Sep 11 22:07 do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin-rwxr-xr-x 1 jennifer jennifer 3229276 Sep 11 22:07 linux-crash-logger.bindrwxr-xr-x 2 jennifer jennifer 4096 Sep 11 22:07 llplugin-rwxr-xr-x 1 jennifer jennifer 1166456 Sep 11 22:07 SLPlugin-rwxr-xr-x 1 jennifer jennifer 448627 Sep 11 22:07 SLVoice-rwxr-xr-x 1 jennifer jennifer 7431 Sep 11 21:43 update_installetc/:total 16-rwxr-xr-x 1 jennifer jennifer 248 Sep 11 21:43 handle_secondlifeprotocol.sh-rwxr-xr-x 1 jennifer jennifer 2611 Sep 11 21:43 launch_url.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 jennifer jennifer 1041 Sep 11 21:43 refresh_desktop_app_entry.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 jennifer jennifer 1516 Sep 11 21:43 register_secondlifeprotocol.sh If there were missing 32bit libraries the viewer would/should crash with a missing library error. Just to make sure, the path it gives you in the error is correct, right? When running "ldd bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin | grep 'not found'" I get the following list: libalut.so => not found libcollada14dom.so => not found libhunspell-1.3.so.0 => not found libboost_program_options-mt.so.1.52.0 => not found libboost_regex-mt.so.1.52.0 => not found libboost_context-mt.so.1.52.0 => not found libfmodex.so => not found libGLOD.so => not found libboost_thread-mt.so.1.52.0 => not found libboost_filesystem-mt.so.1.52.0 => not found libaprutil-1.so.0 => not found libapr-1.so.0 => not found However, all those are in the lib/ subdirectory. Anyway. I don't know enough about Mageia to figure out what broke where. All files seem to be where they should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
