Freeze on startup

Post by doumakes »

I'm a new HELI-X user, running Ubuntu 9.10. When I run runHELI-X64.sh, I get a dialog asking me my language preference. After I click that dialog, it disappears. I am left with the splash screen, and a progress bar that is 10-20% complete. There is no further output. I must CTRL-C to kill the program.

Console output is:

Code: Select all

Couldn't find tag "WindowSettings" in file "/home/don/HELI-X/files/Application/ApplicationSettings.xml"
Couldn't find tag "InfoWindow" in file "/home/don/HELI-X/files/Application/ApplicationSettings.xml"
Couldn't find tag "ChatWindow" in file "/home/don/HELI-X/files/Application/ApplicationSettings.xml"
The contents of files/log.txt is:

Code: Select all

Set new path for the resources: /home/don/HELI-X/resources/
Set new path for the user files: /home/don/HELI-X/files/

These look correct to me.

I get the same output whether I use the Sun JRE or the OpenJDK JRE.

Have I misconfigured the system in some way? Is there a known bug that would explain this behavior?

Hi,

you have problems with your controller. As a consequence, there appears a dialog window which (only on some unix systems) is behind the splash screen. Look in your taskbar, move the doalog and click ok. Then HELI-X starts and can be used (withour controller though).

To solve ths conntroller issues, please change the permissions in the dev directory.

chmod 777 /dev/input/e*

might help.

There was indeed a dialog behind the splash screen, regarding the sound problem. Now I'm able to fly. Vielen dank!
