errors with fedora 10

General Discussion

Hey there,

I just upgraded to Fedora 10 (nice, by the way) and now panda3d seems broken. I reinstalled it (the fc9 rpm, no fc10 out there yet) - same problem. When I start a game I get something like

DirectStart: Starting the game.
Warning: DirectNotify: category 'Interval' already exists

  glxGraphicsPipe
(all display modules loaded.)

that list goes on for a while.
Should I just wait for fc10 rpms to be built and this problem fixes itself magically, or does someone know about this kind of error?

This is a common bug. I tried to get it fixed in 1.5.4 but somehow it didn’t make it. To fix this, you need to edit your /etc/Config.prc file.
Search for the line saying “p3openal_audio” change it into “p3fmod_audio”.

Support for OpenAL on Linux is extremely poor. Try switching to FMOD or no sound to see if its the problem.

audio-library-name p3fmod_audio
# audio-library-name none

put info in to prc file or at the top of your script:

from pandac.PandaModules import loadPrcFileData
loadPrcFileData("", """
audio-library-name p3fmod_audio
# audio-library-name none
""")
