Package: minetest Version: 0.3.1+dfsg-4 Severity: normal After playing minetest for a while, the screen suddenly becomes black. Messages are still visible (e.g. the player's position at the top left), etc. The inventory is still available. It is possible to ESC to the menu, exit to the OS, come back, etc. There are no error messages in the logs.
As it turns out, if you see these symptoms, you've "just" suddenly moved to inside a block. It is possible to escape thus: * using a pickaxe, hit the left mouse button until you see your pickaxe move. If you don't have a pickaxe, it will take longer but you'll eventually see something. This means you've destroyed the block you were in. * throw a torch if you have one. If you don't, squint :) * dig up as far as necessary to surface. If you have ladders, you can use them to climb straight up instead of digging stairs. Alternatively, exit to the OS, rm -rf ~/.minetest, and start a new world. I think it is a bug that, sometimes, the player moves down to inside the ground. This happens quite often when re-joining an existing world. If you leave the game running while you do real work in other windows and then come back, the chances are very high that you'll encounter these symptoms. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (10000, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages minetest depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-4 ii libc6 2.13-35 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.1-7 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 8.0.4-2 ii libglu1-mesa [libglu1] 8.0.4-2 ii libice6 2:1.0.8-2 ii libirrlicht1.7a 1.7.3+dfsg1-4 ii libjpeg8 8d-1 ii libjthread1.3.1 1.3.1-3 ii libpng12-0 1.2.49-1 ii libsm6 2:1.2.1-2 ii libsqlite3-0 3.7.13-1 ii libstdc++6 4.7.1-7 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.1-2 ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.2-1 ii minetest-common 0.3.1+dfsg-4 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 minetest recommends no packages. minetest suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
