my buddy runs gentoo,.. he says he has no soundcard installed at the moment.. would that make it say:
Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)
when a-tron crashes?
he's not got that firewall stuff, & um.. er.. uh that um er.. other thing/misc/
anways, is there some like trick to getting it to run on gentoo, or..
is it crashing cuz he dont have a soundcard..
it compiles ok, & then imidiately he gets that error when he tries to run it ^
i know this isnt really a programming question, but i looked in general forum & nobody was asking tech questions.. & my other favorite tron forum was down so...

Re: help diagnosing problem running armagetron on gentoo
I'm using gentoo. I havent configured alsa to work with many sources (ie: only one application can send sound at any time). I also get the SDL parachute when I try to launch a/aa without stopping or at least pausing the music from my favorite mp3 player.SuPeRTaRD wrote:my buddy runs gentoo,.. he says he has no soundcard installed at the moment..

So my guess is: install the sound card drivers.

My distro is better than yours because I get to compile everything just to get a few lousy % of improvement so I can compile all the *bleep* junk in a reasonnable time.
But I just love it!

Try doing this in a terminal:
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=#audiodriver#; armagetronad
and try changing #audiodriver# to one of these (or in the worst case u could try 'disk' that writes the output to a file):
dsp, alsa, artsc, esd, dma
There must be an option to disable sound in SDL... I will try to find it
