Debian - just no luck

[Orly]

I ran out of knowledge faster then i thougt...
When i try to start the server with

Code: Select all

./bzfs -config my.conf

this appears:

Code: Select all

       ---------------------- DirectFB v0.9.25 ---------------------
             (c) 2000-2002  convergence integrated media GmbH
             (c) 2002-2004  convergence GmbH
        -----------------------------------------------------------

(*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2006-12-04 07:00)
(*) Direct/Memcpy: Using libc memcpy()
(!) Direct/Util: opening '/dev/fb0' failed
    --> No such device or address
(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Error opening framebuffer device!
(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Use 'fbdev' option or set FRAMEBUFFER environment variable.
(!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'system' core!
    --> Initialization error!
Could not initialize SDL Video subsystem: DirectFBCreate: Initialization error!.

or i get an error that is tries to tell me that -config is not a valid option and i get the whole list of options.
one strange this is that i can launch the server with

Code: Select all

./bzfs -a 50 38

and there are no problems. but then its the pre-configured server of course without costom stuff i want.

It's -conf, not -config.

The whole list of options is the list of valid options. If "-whatever" is listed as invalid, check the list for the "correct" one.

if it give you the acceleration limit thing, you can ignore that. (no need for -a 50 38)

Are you sure you weren't running 'bzflag' to get that error output? BZFS is a terminal application, so there is no reason it would be using SDL (nor trying to set up a video subsystem).

I finaly got it to work with

Code: Select all

./bzfs -conf bzfs.conf

Although i needed to disable those:

Code: Select all

#Announce lag
#-lagannounce

#Announce lag to admin channel
#-adminlagannounce

#Jitter warn time
#-jitterwarn 0

#Jitter drop number
#-jitterdrop 0

#Packet loss percentage
#-packetlosswarn 0

#Packet loss drop after warnings
#-packetlossdrop 0

Thanks for your answers they made not to give up the whole thing

You probably have an older version if those don't work. I would recommend checking out the v2_0branch SVN code and building your own binary.
