Orbiter failed to setup the transparency

[mraxe]

Hi

I get the following error message after installing the latest linuxmce.
"Orbiter failed to setup the transparency. Please check if the transparency manager is running."

Any solution to this.
All i found by gooling , was some stuff in german.

Thanx for any input

maybe one of those had a solution or some help.
sometimes searching in here is better than heading straight to google.

Peter--

    What type of video card do you have in the Media Director? When you run 'glxinfo' in a console in KDE what is the output?

None of those really contain any solutions, just people reporting trouble. The only thing I saw in there that looked like advice was one guy installing off of the CDs instead of the DVD.

sorry....i had the same problem when i used the dvd once....i used the cds instead. i had other troubles with the dvd though. it seemed liek every install i did with the dvd had a different problem, so i just gave up.

At least they're not in german...

More than likely, if you're seeing this, and you have an nvidia card... it means, that for some reason, the nvidia drivers were NOT installed, and everything fell back to "vesa" ... install the NVIDIA vendor drivers as root.

If you're seeing this on another card..more than likely, you will not be able to use UI2 with Alpha Blending..this requires currently an NVIDIA card (or if you have a Fiire station system it will work there too)....
