Illegal Instruction Crash | Locked | |

I'm trying to install the Linux client in Xubuntu (32 bit), but it quickly crashes with: robert@hotblack:~$ ./desura A Desura splash screen saying its updating quickly flashes before it dies. The installer does create its desura folder in my home directory which has a bin folder and the desura binary, but running this also produces the illegal instruction error. Any ideas? Is there a log file somewhere that might provide more information as to what went wrong? |

I get the same thing with the updating screen quickly flashing and not all of the desura folder and it's items being created. This though is only happening on my Xubuntu Acer Aspire 1690 laptop where as on my Xubuntu tower had no problems at all. I pretty much figured it has something to do with my laptop being all Intel chipset where my main tower is Nvidia chipset on the motherboard with an ATI graphics card. |

Thats a good point. I'm having this issue on my old Thinkpad X41 with Intel video. My desktop (running 64 bit Xubuntu) has an geforce 460 and doesn't have any problems. I wonder if it's only older Intel chipsets that will have a problem... |

I figure Intel being the cause only because many people keep saying how Intel stuff sucks in Linux. Not being a Linux guru though I have no idea what commands I could run to help track down the actual cause. |

Hello everybody, I tried to install the Desura Linux client on 3 pc:
All my computers are running GNU/Linux Fedora 15.
It seems that despites the package is marked as i686, the client uses more recent instructions that an early Atom can handle and not an old-generation Celeron M. I don't know what parameters were used to compile, but restrict the code generation to i686+MMX or i686+SSE (1st generation) may solve the problem. Sorry if I made English mistakes. |

Hi all. I have an older nForce MB with an Athlon XP 2800 proc and an FX7800 video card. Same thing happens to me as the OP. Here's console output:
Hope this is some help. Running Kubuntu 11.04. |

Hello, My AMD 64-bit pc has (differences are in bold): "flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow up rep_good nopl extd_apicid pni cx16 lahf_lm extapic cr8_legacy" And Desura runs fine on it. I hope this will help. It seems to be the same kind of bug as it was for the Flash Player 64bit Plugin prototype. This may help to fix ^^ *****************
into the source code, and I modified the line with abort(); to
And I modified occurences of RAX and RIP to EAX and EIP, because I tested it on the Celeron M (32bits) pc. |

I found a Desura client that runs very well on old hardware here: App.indiedb.com |

Still doesn't work for me. I think Kubuntu is missing something somewhere. |
||

Maybe it's because your Kubuntu installation doesn't have GTK+ librairies required by Desura: the "Failed to check: [d]" error seems to be related to the lack of "gconf" which is related to GTK+. |

Work for me. |

Maybe. I have "gconf2" installed, but beyond that I have no idea what additional package(s) would need installed. Is there a way to find out? |
||

Thanks so much, this worked well on my EEEPC with Ubuntu Netbook, the original client was not working at all with the same errors stated above. |
||

I've seen on the AUR repository (for the ArchLinux distribution) that Desura needs: gconf gtk2 libjpeg6 libpng12 lsb-release . |

my solution was deflete desura stuff and reinstall it. -> remove package and reinstall if it wont work no guarantee or liability |

With the source code of the client now available. If you need to compile a custom version of the client you can. |
