I've been testing Looking Glass on my P4 this morning and I had no problems getting it to work, but getting everything to work under it, is a nother issue :
I hope this program will get some attention and some development done on it. I'm all for new paradigms when it comes to desktops. maybe even some of you will not complain about the DE beeing to windowsy anymore

I've made some screenshot of Looking Glass running in Gentoo. I've tested in 2 machines, a pentium3 650MHz and an athlon xp 2400+, it work in both, thought in the pentium3 i could not get it to work in fullscreen mode.

Since the thread I started this morning about Looking Glass was inexplicably (and in my opinion wrongfully) moved to the dupes forum, I am posting my progress with the project in this thread, since this is the only thread I could find about it that wasn't in the dupes forum (I think the mod's are conspiring against Looking Glass  ).
Alright, I got Looking Glass installed on my Fedora2 system, and the window mode works just fine. A little choppy, but I suspect it's becuase I'm running it on top of Gnome 2.6. Not too concerned about that. So, I kill Gnome and Xorg (yes, Fedora2 uses Xorg, which could very well be my problem), and when I run lg3d-session I get an xorg error saying the system could not find the default core pointer. Wierd thing is, I have no troubles starting up Gnome..."default core pointer" (aka the mouse ) is recognized right away. Looking Glass only seems to have problems initiating the mouse...if it's already been initiated it starts up just fine.
Anyone suggestions?
Has anyone else tried Looking Glass with Xorg? What were your experiences? Any success?

|
|
I think glitz has a large impact commercially. A typical non-techie will not differentiate the display manager from the whole operating system. Seeing a slick 3d desktop will be translated to "linux is better" which makes me happy regardless of how valid it is. Anyone remember (Quarterdeck) Desqview? It was technically superior to Windows 1.0 but didn't look as cool. Aesthetics do matter. I wouldn't buy a car I thought was ugly no matter how good it was otherwise.
Anyway, I have lg3d-session running but it's very "crashy". Tips and errors follow if anyone's interested.
(btw: This is my first post. I've done lots of "lurking" and have benefited greatly from these forums so thanks to all.)
Running:
1) Switched to xorg from xfree (fixed unresolved externals)
2) ln -s /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/XF86Config
3) Switch to psaux mouse (usb mouse crashes it)
4) Using lg_config_mp_x.xml and j3d1x1-nbfs (one of the paths was wrong in the original script)
Building:
1) Verify java is set up right before building:
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.5.0
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
2) (gentoo specific) If you emerge'ed ant, the /usr/bin/ant script won't work because it uses the java-config stuff and refuses to see 1.5. Just wrote my own short ant script that uses $JAVA_HOME.
3) native../build* scripts: changed "ld -bdynamic -G" to "gcc -shared" which fixed unresolved externals
4) run "ant release" to create the install (did it say that in the readme?).
Running/Crashing:
1) The "hard reset" after a lock-up can be avoided if you can ssh in an reboot the box remotely. Also try ctl-alt-f1 to switch consoles which works sometimes and "reset" to fix a messed up screen.
2) Most frequent lockups are invalid X11Event types (already reported)
receiveAndExtract: received: type = 94
Invalid X11 event type, type = 94
receiveAndExtract: received: type = 93
Invalid X11 event type, type = 93
I tried eating the exception and it seems to keep running longer (return MOTION).
3) I get frequent crashes that seem to involve mouse events or passing over certain widgets. A typical dump is shown below.
-------------stderr-------------

I can't get it to run, like a previous post i get :
mango@S4 bin $ ./lg3d-dev
~/temp/lg3d/bin ~/temp/lg3d/bin
~/temp/lg3d/bin
[1] 8799
the log filecontains only :
mango@S4 bin $ cat /tmp/lgserver.log
LGCONFIG file:///home/mango/temp/lg3d/bin/../etc/lg3d/lgconfig_1p_nox.xml
JAVA_HOME /usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin/
LGX11HOME /home/mango/temp/lg3d/bin/../ext/lg3d-x11
LGCORESRC /home/mango/temp/lg3d/bin/../src
X Server Version
release-0-5
/usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin//bin /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin /opt/bin /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.3 /usr/X11R6/bin /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/bin /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/bin /usr/qt/3/bin /usr/kde/3.2/bin /usr/qt/2/bin /usr/games/bin
/home/mango/temp/lg3d/bin/../lib/i386:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin//jre/lib:
BUT.. i realised my problem was an error in th JAVA_HOME path
After export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0 (note no bin!!) it works!!! annd im amazed its so smooth! |

I' cant get fullscreen to run accelerated, it takes ages to start Ijust sits on the blank X for ages, i assume because of this)
The error it get in the console is:
(EE) Failed to load module "GLcore" (module does not exist, 0)
Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
Symbol __glXActiveScreens from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
Anbody know how to fix this?
GLcore loads and works in my Xorg sessions
It sems to run smoothly even like this tho!! Very nice candy! |

Not sure what card you have but I got this error when using the wrong nvidia driver. Note that the lg "custom" x server uses /etc/X11/XF86Config and not xorg.conf. Just copying xorg.conf over XF86Config (or linking it) may fix it.
In my case, I had to change the module loaded from Module "nv" to Module "nvidia" and emerge nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx. |

I've heard somewhere that dri and nvidia glx driver can't be used together.. So you should try commenting the line which load dri in you XF86config file...
Hope this helps..

I comented out the Load dri statement which got rid of the two unresolved symbol statements, But i still get the error:
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Wed Jul 7 18:56:54 2004
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
(EE) Failed to load module "GLcore" (module does not exist, 0)
(II) Initializing extension GLX
I'm using an nvidia GeForce 4 MX440 whith the NVidia drivers (6106) and kernel 2.6.7-ck4, GL works fine in xorg as i can play ut2004demo and glxgears etc without any problems. |

You should commit out GLcore and dri, not just dri. |

This looks like virtual reality. It seems Sun tried to make it look like the file manager used in an "Unix" system in Jurassic Park. However, nowadays we already have 3d file managers, and we keep using the good and old terminal or a 2d file manager to move files around. That shows that those things seem to be only eye-candy.
However, as I posted before, I think it's a nice initiative, because there can be more useful projects based on this idea. |
the jurassic park one really existed, it was used in the movie, not created for it....
i forget it's true name though |
It was called FSN, and it was developed by SGI. There is a similar open source program called FSV that I have used a couple times. Kind of fun to look at my music library in 3D. ;p

Dang. missed a page.
Back on topic: does anyone have an even slightly working ebuild for x86 yet? I'm curious to give this a try but don't have the time or disk space to go fiddling with piles of source I might not need.
