PrBoom (Freedoom) doesn't start anymore

Hello,

I updates the packages for the first time in a few weeks (my SliTaz is 'rolling' 32bits).

Now, the game PrBoom (Freedoom) doesn't start anymore.

This is the message in a terminal:

cedric@R8:~$ prboom

prboom v2.5.0 (http://prboom.sourceforge.net/)

I_SetAffinityMask: manual affinity mask is 1

I tried 2 things:

1/Delete the packages + reinstall them ==> same issue

2/I did a new installation of SliTaz and of the game on another laptop (in VirtualBox) ==> no problem to start the game.

An idea to solve the problem? Thank you for your help.

Re: PrBoom (Freedoom) doesn't start anymore

Hello,

I can start the game with:

prboot -nosound

But of course, there is no sound.

Did you change something in the packages concerning the sound the last weeks? It was running OK (with sound) a few weeks ago before the "big" updates.

Re: PrBoom (Freedoom) doesn't start anymore

Hi,

I found a solution (as a reminder I am under SliTaz 32 bits cooking):

1) In the package manager, I deleted the prboom package.

2) I downloaded the package from http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/prboom-2.5.0.tazpkg and installed it.

3) In the package manager, I blocked the prboom package.

And it works. It is likely that the http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/prboom-2.5.0.tazpkg package (modified on 15 December 2018) does not work for me, but the old http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/prboom-2.5.0.tazpkg package (modified on 08 March 2012) works perfectly for me.

I don't mention in the subject that the problem is solved because I think something should be changed again in the cooking version package.
