Recently my games have been crashing, and giving me a window informing me of a SIGABRT causing the game to crash. (Sorry for the lack of info, the next time I get the window, I'll post exact details)

What do I need to include for help and am I the only one feeling this?

==System Info==
Linux Mint x86_64 (AMD A8-3850 APU)
ATI Catalyst 013.012.000.009.000000 (AMD Radeon HD 6670)

In any terminal or console after game has crashed:

# cat .spring/infolog.txt or you go via your text editor to this location and open it

and paste this content to www.dpaste.com or pastebin.com. Last 100 lines should be usually enough

Archlinux! You deserve this!

Actually this random things constantly breaking was reason why I abandoned it.

I even remember my friend was die hard acrhlinux fan and we used to have "discussions" archlinux vs debian and kde vs gnome and so on. And guess what he switched after 4 years+ to ubuntu AH AH AH AH.

I may have fixed it, as I changed my catalyst settings, but if it happens again, I will post the link here.

I switched FROM Ubuntu/Mint/Debian TO Arch. While I agree that standard arch isn't very good, I've made my own kernel from scratch, I have several AI's running my system maintenance for me, etc. So I've essentially "solved" arch for this system, but I do see where you're coming from :)

This is probably(90%) due some untested(since stable is stable aint it) new lib upgrade which spring uses. Try to look at mantis (spring bug tracker) maybe someone reported this bug already.

I see your AI's suck at solving problems :) Anyway if you are using arch you should really be used to solve problems like this downgrade/upgrade till you find something.

EDIT. YOU LAZY BASTARD! it was ati driver upgrade. Y U NO READ infolog?

[f=0006474] Error: Segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) in spring 91.0 (OMP)
[f=0006474] Error: Stacktrace:
[f=0006474] Error: This stack trace indicates a problem with your graphic card driver. Please try upgrading or downgrading it. Specifically recommended is the latest driver, and one that is as old as your graphic card. Also try lower graphic details and disabling Lua widgets

Also spring dont like ATI cards, you probably know this already and this is not first "experience"?

I've been using this ati card and driver for a while, and it just started. As for the AI's I just moved to this new system, and they still need some work to be perfectly integrated.

I'm still looking into the ati drivers, thanks for the help :)

Alright, I got the ATI drivers working, it was a simple AA problem. However, there is still something missing...

No graphics, library, etc. errors, just 8 identical stacktrace then stacktrace errors...

Uggh, I think that I'm coming back to my senses, I'm going to rebuild my current system over top of Linux Mint. That way I get my perks, but without these graphics, library, etc. problems killing me in Arch.

Thanks for opening my eyes :D

Its good when you have time, like messing around and enjoy fighting these problems, but....
I remember it was exam time and I didint had any time and had few minor problems so I still did pacman -Syu (hope cmd is right) with hope that those few small issues will go away and my system was broken more and more with upgrades. In the end I had to mount usb flash drives manually lol! Then I realized that newest packages is cool, but stability is much cooler. Its better to upgrade those few programs which you like/use a lot to newest instead whole system. Actually past few years I m using debian testing it is stable enough for me.

Still for testing purposes arch is n1 you get all bugs :)

And chessmaster you have ATI card maybe these issues wont go away easily since a lot of people have many problems with ATI cards.

Honestly archlinux didn't work very well with my system, every package needed patching, aur barely worked, etc. Springlobby took me several days to get setup. It took me 40+ hours to get everything finally to a usable level (no software yet, just bootable with kde).

Judge me if you will, to me it's not worth re-inventing the wheel at that point. I think it was time for me to build a car off the wheel than to reinvent the wheel from scratch, and die before I could invent anything with it.
