Game still running after I quit

[carlinuxlearner]

Hey I just wanted to report that on: Ubuntu 7.10 64bit
Glest BASICALLY will run, and work fine.
BUT after a while (happens at different times, no specific point) my screen will go black for a few seconds, then it pops back up (still in the game I was playing) like nothing happened, this will happens a couple time while I play.
After the game is over and I exit, there are STILL instances of Glest running, (if I open up "System Monitor" it shows any where from 2 to 10) I believe that every time the screen goes blank in the game, it's opening up a new Glest.

When I run it in the terminal there are NO errors messages, except the one that says I "terminated" it (which I did, because it was still running after I quit)

Code: [Select]

carl@carl-desktop:~/games/glest$ ./glest
Terminated
carl@carl-desktop:~/games/glest$


Here are my computer specs:
AMD Athlon X2 64 4800
2GB Dual channel DDR-2 800
GIGABYTE GA-M68SM-S2 AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 7025 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
(I'm using the on-board graphics)

So I was hoping that some one could do something about this, if there's like a debuger or something that I can use to see what's going on, then I could give you a error message (assuming it gives out one).

If you need any more info, just ask.

I just compiled the latest version from the sources and I'm having the same problem ... going to look into the source code ...

I've also compiled the latest version on Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64. I haven't run into the problem described in this thread although somehow my screensaver kicked in during a game once!

The only major issue  I've encountered is with internet multiplayer (although I've only tried to play against one person running 32-bit windows).

You guys have SDL set as the output device in your /etc/openalrc or ~/.openalrc ?

I could reproduce the same behaviour by setting SDL instead of Alsa ... hmm

[daniel.santos]

wow, interesting.  It's like it's forking its self or something.  Very odd.  I haven't had it on my system (64 bit Linux, AMD 64 Gentoo).

Here is my openalrc file:

"
(define devices '(sdl))
(define alsa-device "default")
(define speaker-num 2)
(define sampling-rate 44100)
"

So YES I have SDL in there, because alsa would not work correctly (it was playing the sound back horribly! And I read somewhere to try SDL).
