GRG's Miscellany

It all works fine until you try to run it. :( It complains that it can't load the LWJGLException class (even though lwjgl.jar is clearly in the classpath). But it turns out, the problem was that java couldn't find the native libraries. Here are the command lines to build: javac "%f" -cp '.:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_04/lib/*' and to run: java -cp '.:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_04/lib/*' -Djava.library.path=../natives "%e"

I've been concerned for a while that my cardboard case doesn't properly support the weight of my graphics cards. I've experienced persistent freezes and spontaneous resets under Ubuntu, and thought it was a driver issue. This morning, I had crashes in Ubuntu 10.04LTS, 11.10 AND Windows 7.  When I nudged one of the graphics cards up and rebooted, Windows 7 was fine. I have now added more support for the graphics cards.  11.10 still freezes.  So far 10.04LTS still going strong.  Haven't tested Win7 yet.

Installing stable ati drivers on Ubuntu 11.10 is a pain in the backside, but here's the latest attempt: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:aRlqZkHo_JQJ:linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/10/ubuntu-1110-oneiric-problems-with-ati.html+ubuntu+11.10+x64+stability+issues&cd=6&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=ubuntu
