Can't Get Dolphin Running on Ubuntu 9.04

[hatoncat]

Hi everyone, I'm having an odd issue with Dolphin under Ubuntu 9.04. I've been able to reproduce the issue on two systems: a P4 2.8 GHz with GeForce 7600 GT and a MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo with GeForce 8600M).

Same issue happens with distributed builds and ones I compile from SVN.

I select a game to launch (in this case Super Mario Galaxy, but it happens with any game), and the screen goes to the point of a black emulation window... listing all the stats of the system. Then, Dolphin goes down in flames a split second later.

Here's the logs from terminal... would appreciate any help with this.

P.S. Doesn't appear to be a permissions issue, as sudo had no effect.

P.P.S. All Dolphin settings are defaults, though changing sound, controllers, attempting to disable stuff had no effect.

Yeah, the Linux build isn't working, and hasn't been for a while...

And I've been looking for a fix for the past days..... . How does performance under wine compare to native linux performance? Wine does work for me, but runs with ~15 fps ._.


Cheers,

Yeah, it's of course going to run slower than natively. It's about 10-20% slower for me.

Hello Hatoncat,

There used to be a bug causing hangs on Dual Core systems for certain games (Mario Kart: Double Dash, Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker). It has been resolved a few revisions back, perhaps if you try to compile it again, you'll have no problems.

Also, remember to install GCC >=4.3. Just open up Synaptic and enter the 'gcc' search string.

Please let us know how it worked out.
