I try running /usr/bin/chess in Fedora Core 15 x86_64 [Leo@chessman ~]$ uname -r 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64 [Leo@chessman ~]$ and it throws "Aborted (core dumped)". I have the Nvidia Development Driver version 270.41.19 installed. I have an Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS. OpenGL works and I know this because glxgears works. It was aborted after an X11 window is generated but before anything is rendered to it. The GDB output can be found on: http://pastebin.com/B10WqTen
Chess has serious issues because it was written for an earlier version of Ogre. Upstream is dead. At some point I'd like to look at properly updating it, but I have lots of Fedora stuff I can work on and chess isn't real high priority right now. I also suspect there may be some video driver issues, at least for my older hardware, as I am seeing problems with some other games.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
