FlightGear

t3gah · 03-14-2005, 03:29 PM

Has anyone gotten this game to work in Linux???

I tried the rpm through yumex, no go. I tried a FC2 rpm's from flightgear.org for simgear and flightgear but that made a link on my menu, installed the directory tree's and added the icon to pixmaps. The game won't run when I select it from the gnome menu.

I tried compiling th source but I get a glut.h error. FreeGlut is installed as I've checked my install.log in /root. I am root when I try the installs and when I downloaded everything. There was a problem with simgear at one point and I installed the latest plib to correct the problem.

So now I'm stumped. What could be the problem?! Any idea's????

there's a good .tgz from linuxquestions.org for your slack box

Have you got 3D acceleration working? Try running glxgears. If you don't get at least 3000fps, you don't have any 3D acceleration. I have no experience with ATI cards under linux, but I know there's a driver available from the ATI website.

I'd say you've at least got that covered. Did you try the package tuttle suggested?

I downloaded the one tuttle suggested but I thought I would give yum another chance and this time it worked. The sim crashed when I was trying to set something and also the keyboard was unresponsive. What I mean by that is the 3 and 9 keys would not adjust the throttle of the aircraft that I was trying to fly. Not sure what that means though. Game used to work until I had to reinstall lately. Someone hacked through ssh on my game box. Stupid Fedora has sshd running by default, etc.

Later on I may uninstall the new rpm version and try the tarball. Time will tell as I haven't tried the game today. Thanks for checking up on my progress.

(I wonder how they cracked it though?!)

You might want to look for an update to sshd. I ran slap-get update on my slackware box today and I'm pretty sure there was a new sshd package. But if you're not using it, there's really no reason to have it running, I guess, is there?

Good luck and happy gaming.

Also, only allow v2 through your sshd:

Code:

Protocol 2

in your /etc/sshd_config.
Also, rkhunter will find any basic security holes in your system. DL it, install and run "rkhunter -c" as root.

I disabled the service in all init run levels by stopping the daemon and unchecking it and then saving.

Here it is native sshd_config for Fedora Core 3:

rkhunter is better than chkrootkit with the output and all.

What's bad of course is that these settings are like this by default in Fedora Core 3.

change it to:

You also mentioned that the throttle didn't work on fgfs, make sure you try it with num lock turned off, for some reason some games see the numpad keys as "home" "pgup" pgdn" etc. with num lock on!!

edit: These settings are default for ssh in general so you must always lock a piece of software down before running it, especially stuff which allows services to the outside world.

have try 2 emerge the app from gentoo? it calculates all of the dependecies
