Vista 64-bit user trying out 64-bit Gentoo Linux

Kaije · September 21st, 2007, 22:37

I just downloaded and installed Gentoo on a 30GB HDD last night. Finished X and KDE overnight...

I downloaded 0.9.3 to see if I could get any better performance on the linux side... however, I get the following error when I run the ISO:

EE Recompiler data reset
Bios Version 2.0
**************
rom2 NOT FOUND

blocksize = 2048
blocks = 2245200

ZeroGS: creating
ZeroGS: Only Singlebuffered Visual!

Segmentation fault

I ripped the ISO in Vista, copied it to the Gentoo drive, and ran it from the Gentoo drive. I'm using Linuzappz Iso CDVD 0.6.0 to run the Iso... My friend told me this is a memory error of some flavor, so I was wondering if anyone out there could help?

My specs are the same as in my signature, only I'm running the most recent version of Gentoo that is out on the mirrors. I'm using all the default plugins, with default options, except the controller and cd plugins... I have emerged the nvidia-cg-toolkit... I'm using the most current nvidia drivers out in ebuild... If you need anymore info, just ask!

I wish I could help you, however I'm not too familiar with using PCSX2 on Linux although I use Linux sometimes myself. I can only ask if you have all the required libraries/dependencies installed for PCSX2 already?

Also you might want to try searching the forums to see if someone else has had the same problem and got it solved. I'm not sure, but I think someone else may of had this problem as well some time ago.

It segfaults on me too. I had it working on a previous install once, but I can't reproduce that.

Proto · September 22nd, 2007, 06:59

Can you run the BIOS without any trouble? Have you tried running another ISO? Have you tried running from the CD? Have you tried another ISO plugin?

Are you running your own compiled PCSX2? The version that is distributed on the page often segfaults on non-fedora distro's

In any case, you have better luck running the svn version. There are instructions on how to download it here for Ubuntu, but it should be fairly similar for Gentoo

the precompiled binaries often segfault.

If you havent installed your video drivers and ensured that they work, you might get issues from that as well.

One thing that might help diagnosing it (disclaimer: I am not involved in pcsx2 dev, just an experienced Linux user):
go to the directory where pcsx2 binary is in the shell.
Run gdb ./pcsx2
Type "run" at gdb> prompt.
Type "bt" when it crashes...

Alakhai · October 24th, 2007, 01:38

this is my crash using gdb:

i have nvidia-driver version 100.14.19 that are in testing, and before i tried with a stable version and i get the same message

shockertwin · October 24th, 2007, 06:13

make sure you have added your user to the video group

Code:

gpasswd -a <your user> video

Also make sure your drivers are working properly:

Code:

emerge nvidia-drivers nvidia-settings nvidia-cg-toolkit
modprobe nvidia
update-modules
##change driver in xorg.xonf to nvidia and comment out dri
eselect opengl set nvidia
emerge mesa-progs #this is for glxinfo
#ctrl-alt-backspace to restart x-server at this point

#verify your direct rendering is working properly
glxinfo | grep direct
#if it sais "direct rendering: yes" you are successful

Then when you build pcsx2 you should be able to run everythnig. That is all i had to do. Now if only i could get my sound blaster x-fi working

.

My segfaults were almost always from improperly installed drivers in linux.

I've verified that my nvidia driver is properly installed, that I have direct rendering, and that my user is a member of the video group.

I've tried both starting FFX and starting my bios with the null cd plugin. Either way after I select "File->Run CD" or "Run->Execute", a black-filled window flashes so briefly you'd miss it if you blink and the window with the menubar vanishes with it. The same bios works fine with 0.9.2 on Windows.

Console output:

Code:

ZeroGS: creating
ZeroGS: Got Doublebuffered Visual!
ZeroGS: glX-Version 1.3
ZeroGS: Depth 24
ZeroGS: you have Direct Rendering!
Segmentation fault

I guess there is a difference: I didn't notice before that Kaije's output doesn't mention direct rendering. Mine does.

I will edit this later when i get home. But just as a test, run

Code:

sudo nvidia-settings

and change some sort of setting in the monitor area and have the nvidia settings console save a new xorg.conf (it actually does a relatively good job

). Make sure that you back it up if you made any changes other than to the nvidia stuff.

i guess this isnt ubuntu eh?

Code:

su
#password:*************
nvidia-settings

edit** its more than likely not going to fix your problem, but it does make a minimal xorg.conf and you will have everything set up the same as myself where it *was working (i use the source from the site, not the svn).

Done. Restarted xorg. No change.

Try the svn, not the ebuild.

Code:

emerge subversion

svn co https://pcsx2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pcsx2 pcsx2
cd pcsx2
sh build.sh all

The error appears to be in how wglGetProcAddress() is getting the address of the EXT functions on machines like StringCheesian's (and mine).

I went ahead and tried switching the proc address gathering to GLEW which consisted of:
1) removing the includes to glprocs.h
2) adding in the #include to GL/glew.h to the top of GS.h (and reordering some #includes in other ancillary files - glew has to come before gl and glu)
4) #defining GL_LOADFN(name) to do nothing at all (in zerogs.cpp)
5) calling glewInit() where the GL_LOADFNs are
6) linking in -lGLEW

and what do you know? Success!

I did the whole process rather haphazardly - I knew nothing about glew an hour ago and have made blind and daring assumptions about the gs plugin code....but they don't pay me good $$ at my day job for nothing.

For reference, my machine:

uname -a

Hopefully someone more familiar with the codebase can either properly incorporate glew into the plugin or identify what's going wrong with wglGetProcAddress().

Un7zip this into plugins/gs/zerogs/opengl/ and run

I can only ask if you have all the required libraries/dependencies installed for PCSX2 already? Also you might want to try searching the forums to see if someone else has had the same problem and got it solved. I'm not sure, but I think someone else may of had this problem as well some time ago. __________________

Have you tried running from the CD? Have you tried another ISO plugin? Are you running your own compiled PCSX2? The version that is distributed on the page often segfaults on non-fedora distro's In any case, you have better luck running the svn version. There are instructions on how to download it here for Ubuntu, but it should be fairly similar for Gentoo __________________

If you havent installed your video drivers and ensured that they work, you might get issues from that as well. __________________ Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66 -=- Asus P5B -=- 2048 Corsair Platinum @800 4-4-4-15 -=- GeForce 8800 gts 640mb -=- OCZ GameXtreme 850W -=- Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Gamer -=- Logitech Z-5300 5.1 THX Sound -=- Antec P180 -=- Duel ViewSonic VX924 19" -=- Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse -=- Windows Vista x86, Gentoo Linux 2007 (2.6.22-r5) -=- Saitek P880, Logitech Duel Action Gamepad

Run gdb ./pcsx2 Type "run" at gdb> prompt. Type "bt" when it crashes...

That is all i had to do. Now if only i could get my sound blaster x-fi working . My segfaults were almost always from improperly installed drivers in linux. __________________ Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66 -=- Asus P5B -=- 2048 Corsair Platinum @800 4-4-4-15 -=- GeForce 8800 gts 640mb -=- OCZ GameXtreme 850W -=- Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Gamer -=- Logitech Z-5300 5.1 THX Sound -=- Antec P180 -=- Duel ViewSonic VX924 19" -=- Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse -=- Windows Vista x86, Gentoo Linux 2007 (2.6.22-r5) -=- Saitek P880, Logitech Duel Action Gamepad

But just as a test, run Code: sudo nvidia-settings and change some sort of setting in the monitor area and have the nvidia settings console save a new xorg.conf (it actually does a relatively good job ). Make sure that you back it up if you made any changes other than to the nvidia stuff. i guess this isnt ubuntu eh? Code: su #password:*********** nvidia-settings edit its more than likely not going to fix your problem, but it does make a minimal xorg.conf and you will have everything set up the same as myself where it was working (i use the source from the site, not the svn). __________________ Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66 -=- Asus P5B -=- 2048 Corsair Platinum @800 4-4-4-15 -=- GeForce 8800 gts 640mb -=- OCZ GameXtreme 850W -=- Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Gamer -=- Logitech Z-5300 5.1 THX Sound -=- Antec P180 -=- Duel ViewSonic VX924 19" -=- Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse -=- Windows Vista x86, Gentoo Linux 2007 (2.6.22-r5) -=- Saitek P880, Logitech Duel Action Gamepad Last edited by shockertwin; October 25th, 2007 at 19:27..*

scaught Registered User Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Vancouver, BC, Canada Posts: 3	The error appears to be in how wglGetProcAddress() is getting the address of the EXT functions on machines like StringCheesian's (and mine). I went ahead and tried switching the proc address gathering to GLEW which consisted of: 1) removing the includes to glprocs.h 2) adding in the #include to GL/glew.h to the top of GS.h (and reordering some #includes in other ancillary files - glew has to come before gl and glu) 4) #defining GL_LOADFN(name) to do nothing at all (in zerogs.cpp) 5) calling glewInit() where the GL_LOADFNs are 6) linking in -lGLEW and what do you know? Success! I did the whole process rather haphazardly - I knew nothing about glew an hour ago and have made blind and daring assumptions about the gs plugin code....but they don't pay me good $$ at my day job for nothing. For reference, my machine: uname -a Code: Linux deluge 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 #10 SMP Tue Oct 16 16:12:13 PDT 2007 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux glewinfo \| head -8 Code: --------------------------- GLEW Extension Info --------------------------- GLEW version 1.3.5 Reporting capabilities of display :0.0, visual 0x2b Running on a GeForce 8800 GTS/PCI/SSE2 from NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL version 2.1.1 NVIDIA 100.14.09 is supported emerge -pv nvidia-drivers nvidia-cg-toolkit nvidia-settings glew Code: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
