So I have seen references to people working on the problem but I've seen no results or a real way to fix it.

I use the ptrace command like I should but without fail the system locks up.

How do I fix this?

Distro: Kubuntu 12.04
Kernel: 3.2.0.25-generic-pae
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5450 (Yes it does work)
Catalyst Version: 12.04

What do you need from me, everything else runs beautiful, even the Beta worked just fine this live version is really frustrating.

When using

echo 0|sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

I click login and the system locks up.

If ptrace_scope is 1 it just doesn't authenticate.

okay 1.3 has been patched up in DIablo 3.
ptrace_scope = 1 - no authentication
ptrace_scope = 0 - system locks up

I have messed with every option, changed wine versions and no favorable results.

Anyone?

Update: this entire issue is based upon the "stable" AMD drivers.

I uninstalled the drivers and used the drivers provided by
http: ppa.launchpad.net/oibaf/graphic-drivers/ubuntu precise main

The game fired up no problem, a little lagging but definitely playable. Though it still has an issue with changing from full screen to windowed. However again those worked, proprietary do not.

if 12.6 is supposed to be the solution as my card is supported, maybe someone can point to a link or figure out why the 12.4 drivers are failing.

12.4 drivers are failing because they are simply too old and some extensions are missing.

I don't understand why you are using a 1.3 patched while POL supports a recent version of wine patched for Diablo III

the 1.3 is referring to the new Diablo 3 patch.

I use the 1.5.5-DiabloIII_v3 and as a matter of testing 1.5.5-DiabloIII_v2 respectively.


So with 12.4 being so out of date, do you have any way of moving to 12.6 which is supposed to be up to date for the above mentioned specifications.

Nope, sorry. I know nothing about ATI cards

No worries, I am looking into instructions now and if I get a favorable result I will make sure to post them here.

Okay I have new results I hope this helps.  I am confirming for my setup alone.

I used the following instructions to install the proprietary drivers.  Please note you must remove the additional drivers version as this seems to be the issue, at least from what I have seen.

  1. sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs dh-make dkms execstack dh-modaliases fakeroot
  2. cd ~/; mkdir catalyst12.4; cd catalyst12.4/
  3. wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run
  4. chmod +x amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run
  5. ./amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run --extract driver
  6. cd driver/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/
  7. wget -O fglrx.patch http://ubuntuone.com/5gNgEmVfzs3ytD5QZ2YGCi
  8. patch -p1 < fglrx.patch
  9. cd ~/catalyst12.4/driver/
  10. ./ati-installer.sh 8.961 --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise
  11. cd ../
  12. sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
  13. sudo aticonfig --initial
  14. sudo reboot

If you get some error about not having the OpenGL drivers, check that the fglrx isn't blacklisted.  (part of why it didn't work right)

grep fglrx /etc/modprobe.d/*

if it gives you something like:

blacklist-local.conf:blacklist fglrx
fglrx.conf:# This file was installed by fglrx 
fglrx.conf:alias fglrx fglrx

then

edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local.conf file and comment out line with "blacklist fglrx" by inserting "#" in front of the line.

It will look like

# blacklist fglrx

reboot and enjoy

This is what worked for me and I didn't need the 12.6 beta drivers. I had no special repositories, or anything beyond that and I am up and running.
