Title: Wahcade Preview Movies Crashing Wahcade
Post by: newtrix on March 24, 2010, 12:15:46 am
Total Noob here on Linux.  I've built a half dozen Windows Arcades.  Ive got Ubuntu 9.1 sdlmame and wahcade setup and everything is working great except Wahcade crashes when the preview movie begins. I've tried lots of things any ideas? :banghead: :banghead:

I have/had this problem too. I can't remember for certain but I think the video preview only causes crashes when you start Wahcade from the menu. If you start it from a terminal command there is no issue.

Just tried it several times. Looks like it only works randomly from the terminal command. Can't get them to work at all from the menu.
This error appears in the terminal when it fails:
wahcade.py: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

Looks like there's a fix, check out this thread (http://www.anti-particle.com/forum_phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=522).

On the thread I posted it says to use this command (after you have registered on launchpad (https://launchpad.net/wahcade)):

Code: [Select]
bzr branch lp:wahcade
I haven't tried this as I am ok to wait for the official next release with the fix in place.
