Ubuntu :: System Freeze While Playing World Of Warcraft Game
Jan 29, 2010
My system is Ubuntu 9.10, WINE 1.0.1-0ubuntu8, ATI HD4350 with ATI proprietary driver, Intel Core 2 Quad, 3 GB RAM
I'm trying to figure out what is the problem. I used Ubuntu 8.10 in the past and never encounter a problem like this. It keep freezing the computer 3 to 5 times a day. I check varies of sys.log, kernel.log, any kind of log you could think of and they not showing any reason why it froze. This is the only last thing it wrote because it froze
Code:
Jan 29 12:57:58 sean-desktop wpa_supplicant[936]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Jan 29 12:59:58 sean-desktop wpa_supplicant[936]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Jan 29 13:01:58 sean-desktop wpa_supplicant[936]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
This is always what it ended up with every time it froze. I check the log and it usually on that message. and I switched back to the previous kernel and assumed it the newest kernel causing problem. I had this problem before in my Ubuntu 8.10, so i switched to the previous kernel and the problem is solved. So on my ubuntu 9.10, I switched to the previous kernel, it still have the same result. I'm running out of ideas. I been thinking about switching to 8.10. The reason why I like 9.10 because of ext4 support

I am running the latest Ubuntu on my HP Paviljon Slimline PC with AMD Phenom 9750 Quadcore Processor and 4GiB Ram (2.4Ghrz). code...
When i play Music or Video i have no problems at all.
But.
Have World of Warcraft installed trough Wine and all is working perfect. The thing is that i hear a weird chirping sound when i log in the game (1 time) and then i hear a sort of ticking sound on the background and it stays there no matter if a disable music or not.
Have also tried all 3 settings in sound config (ingame) eg. System Default, Pulse Audio Software ((Null)) and ALSA Software on Default ((null)).
The weird ticking sound is staying.
Anyone knows a solution of have a hint where i must look to solve this ?

Question: How could you possibly install World of Warcraft CD disc onto Ubuntu 10.10, I've tried installing Dragon Age Origins onto Ubuntu 10.10 but says that the CD was not an executable bit?
I've done some research & went into the settings of the disc & tried to allow as an executable bit, but failed to succeed! Sucks but that�s reality, so.. anyways if you have any solutions about this problem please don't hesitate to let me know

how to install Ubuntu. I have only ran it as a partition and am not sure the process i need to go through to install it on a newly built machine. My second question is that when i partitioned it ( was kinda giving it a test run to see if i could cope with the change from windows) I remember not being able to run world of warcraft. I couldn't get wine to run it. I want to run starcraft II and I'm not sure how thats going to go over. Is that going to give me a problem? I realize these should probably be separate threads but i figured these could be answered relatively easily.

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 on my mac as a separate partition. I have World of Warcraft installed on the mac side. I want to use PlayOnLinux to run the game from the mac partition. Has anybody done this? If so, how would I go about making this work?

I am fairly new to the Linux community however I have done my research on this issue and tried every fix I could think of (registry edits, wine config changes, config.wtf alterations).
All of these things got me where I am today. WoW will run in OpenGL mode for a couple seconds after loading my character and then wine crashes with this error from the Terminal code...

Just updated to Ubuntu 11.04 this morning, and was immediately overwhelmed. The new panel layout and sidebar thingy looks pretty sweet at first glance, but I can't find a durn thing. :s But to the point, went to run World of Warcraft after the update and the launcher starts, then after hitting play a fatal error pops up.
Code:
This application has encountered a critical error:
Fatal Exception!
Program: Z:home imGamesWorld of WarcraftWow.exe
ProcessID: 70
Exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 0023:F751D270
The instruction at "0xF751D270" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". And then of course the other Blizzard error nonsense. I know this isn't so much a Ubuntu thing, but has anyone else maneuvered around this or have any ideas for a fix?

i tried to install world of warcraft through wine and it worked! but when i go to run it, the window's invisible (i can hear the sound, the mouse cursor changes, but i can�t see the screen). one guy over on videos said to configure wine to run as a virtual desktop, but it didn�t seem to work.

I have a bit of a problem that I don't understand and would like some help please - I will try and explain the best way I can. I installed Ubuntu using the WUBI installer and so I can access my Windows partition in /host. Using Wine I can run World of Warcraft by going to /host/Program Files/World of Warcraft/WoW.exe But I would like to create a link on my desktop to that file so I do not have to keep going to that path everytime.
The Problem - when I click make link and drag it to my desktop I double click the file (expecting it to just act like a windows shorcut) but it doesn't - it creates some of the files that are in the world of warcraft folder on the desktop and then fails to open with message: Failed to open archive dataart etc...its like it is creating a copy of files on my desktop of what is already in the WoW folder.

I run openSUSE 11.2 (kernel 2.6.31.12) and I use Wine 1.1.38 to play World of Warcraft from the konsole terminal application. For the most part this works okay, but there is one small issue that continues to annoy me:
Look at your keyboard (assuming standard QWERTY no-name keyboard) - see the key just left of your Backspace key? That key is only partially working for me in WoW. I cannot bind it to any action bar button in-game, with or without addons enabled. For some reason the key works fine when entering text into the chat console though.
I have used xev to get a bit of data on the key itself - not that it is that informative to me though, but the absence of the issue when playing WoW through Windows would suggest that it is somehow endemic to my Linux configuration:
Code:
KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4a00001,
root 0x1a7, subw 0x0, time 6474080, (159,-10), root:(1364,15),
state 0x10, keycode 21 (keysym 0xfe51, dead_acute), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c2 b4) ""
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: True
[Code]...

I have a problem with WoW 3.3, when it starts I get a Black Screen, but I can hear the sound, and the windows responds to keypresses (like, pressing Esc exits the game, o when I press enter I hear the sound of logging in).I have a Lenovo G530, with Intel GMA X4500 as display processor. I think that the drivers are working fine, as I can run all the OpenGL games without problems. I have Ubu 9.10 and Wine 1.2. I've tried many solutions posted on this forums and WowWiki.When I run the game from a console with wine "/home/xxxx/Storage/Games/wow3/Wow.exe" -opengl -windowed, it outputs:
Code:
fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub
archive DataenGBpatch-enGB.MPQ opened
[code]....

I am very new to the Linux/Ubuntu Platform (have used it now for 8 days), I am primarily a gamer when it comes to my computer. Because of this I have always been a windows user for compatibility reasons. A week ago my friend was telling me how awesome Ubuntu is and the background story behind it. Intrigued I tried it out and fell in love with it (good thing too because I accidentally killed my windows boot and all the files on that HD during installation). I am primarily a World of Warcraft gamer, and have gotten it to work through the great online community and guides out there using WINE. Now the problem is, I have only found two guides to try and install the Curse Client [URL] a program that manages your add-ons, both guides [URL] do not currently work no matter how i follow it.

I need to have "Visual effects" set to None in order to play 3d games or other tasks such as watching DVDs, etc. The reason is that I get very poor FPS if visual effects are enabled. For example, I can have 150 frames per second on Quake, but with visual effects it drops down to 30. Movies will jitter and flicker a lot until I turn off the effects. I don't have a weak machine; 2 GB memory and 2 Ghz. Nvidia 8400 graphics. This problem was on Vista when I had that on my laptop years ago.

I have a Dell laptop and have multi-media buttons, some of which control the audio volume. But once a game is running like Sauerbraten, I cannot control the volume. The controls within the game are relative to the master volume, so if the volume is too low, I have to exit the game to adjust it.

This game is Java based. After rebooting the game works, but on ending the game several notification boxes remain. If these boxes are not closed in the reverse order that the game opened them, it is no longer possible to close them. Only by killing the Java processes can these notifications be made to close. Also after playing the game, even if all these notifications are closed it is many times necessary to kill the Java process(es) in order to get the game to load again at a later time. I am currently using Slackware 1.30, but a similar problem has existed in several of the past releases.

Do you know any game engines or game studios that can make adventure games, for instance in the style of Myst (1st person) or in the style of old Sierra games (3rd person), like King's Quest, Space Quest, etc.?I've seen AGI Studio, but it is too old, I'd like to use more modern graphics (although there is no need for 3D).

I'm running ubuntu 10.04 as a mythtv box and it works mostly fine. But occasionally the system will hang during booting and the last messages I can see are code...
So, I don't know. What is the problem? This system is supposed to run mostly unattended, I can't check all the time whether it booted alright.
So what can I do?

My partner and I share the computer, so we are normally both logged in.
When we come to turn the computer off, one of us will log out then the other shuts down (to have a clean shutdown), but when either one of us uses 'Logout' the system just freezes, no response, nothing, have to turn the machine off via power button.
We can 'switch user' fine, and everything else appears ok but log out fails, I did try reporting a bug on this, but seems to have got taken over with people with dual screens / SLI cards, taking it over and its not the same thing.
I get the 'impression' its a graphics driver issue, I'm using the 'recommended' Nvidia driver (am at work and can't remember which version sorry).

I'm putting this in general, because I'm not sure if many of the specifics are relevant.I have an everex cloudbook which I purchased from eBay with hardy herron on it.I finally got around, today (I've had it for a year), to installing netbook remix 9.10 with a usb key I had also purchased from eBay.Now, during the upgrade (using update manager) from 9.10 to 10.04, the system appears to have frozen.(desktop frozen, no response to keyboard or mouse).Now, I'm not sure if something could still be happening inside there, and if it would be a good idea to let the machine site overnight before rebooting it. Frankly, it happened once already, and I rebooted, and update manager just took up where it left off once I logged in.
I have not determined what's causing these freezes. It's not a new machine, of course (everex, afaik, doesn't even exist now), so maybe netbook-remix is too taxing on the hardware? I installed xfce to get away from the bloated netbook-remix graphical menu garbage, which did seem to allow the system to run faster. Anyway, the real question here is, while the interface appears frozen, could the upgrade still be developing under the surface? (I hear a fan running in there. There is no hdd to spin, but flash memory, so I don't know if the fan is any indication of internal activity). Would you wait to reboot it? (update mgr indicated 4 hrs remaining to upgrade, in the installing upgrades phase, not downloading, appears it froze during "Running post-installation trigger install-info"). Or just reboot it and see what happens (get update mgr to start again?)? The system never froze on me with hardy. It was pretty quick and snappy, in fact.

Running Ubuntu 10.4 32bit (only) on my system with ati graphics card. I just ran a software update, and I believe a new kernel was installed. When I rebooted, I saw the "Ubuntu" loading screen, but then the system froze up and the screen went completely blank. Thinking it was a graphics issue, I tried to press escape to get into the grub bootloader. However, when I pressed escape at the proper time, the system just rebooted.
Thinking that grub was broken, I used a live cd to purge grub from my system and re-install it. When I rebooted, I got the same initial problem: I get the "Ubuntu" loading screen, but then the screen goes black and the system appears to be frozen. Again, if I press escape to try the grub bootloader, the system just reboots.

Nothing too major here but today I had a few programs open and was doing a bunch of things and suddenly the system froze.
I am on 10.04 LTS -
Are there checks that I can do to see if everything is ok?
I had to turn the power off and re-booted and everything is fine, or rather, seems to be 100% fine - but more out of curiosity Id like to see if there are some checks that I can do.
I think that ubuntu creates a log of activity if I am not mistaken?
