Basically, my problem is that when I try opening the pSX, it prompts the whole "Bio file thing", I selected it, and nothing happens. When I was using Hardy, that same problem was solved installing the libgltext1-dev that is needed and everything was solved. Now, in Jaunty, I have installed all the libraries I could think of, and nothing is working. So, like the last time, here's the link to what it says while trying to open pSX with the terminal. www.openpaste.org/14023/Hope that you could help me with anything at all, considering how much I love pSX working on Linux. Thanks!

Well, the first half of the chunk of errors is obviously sound-related. Have you tried killing pulseaudio prior to running pSX (root permission may be required)?
The second half... installing libgtkglext1-dev should've solved those problems. I hate to say it, but could you double-check that you've properly installed it?

Well, first of all, thanks for answering!! Regarding your first question, the funny thing is that I already have PulseAudio totally disable, 'cause I had some serious sound problems when I installed Jaunty and after following and reading posts and guides, end up figuring out that the whole problem was having the PulseAudio working, so I disable (not deleting) it and that's how I was able to watch videos in Youtube, hear music, watch movies, etcs. And yes, I double check about the library. Three times, as a matter of fact. mandala13@Amaterasu:~$ sudo apt-get install libgtkglext1-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done libgtkglext1-dev is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. mandala13@Amaterasu:~$ Any other ideas? Please?

And maybe you already know this, but just for the records.
The first junk of errors are when I open pSX, the second when I load the BIOS, just before aborting the whole thing. Kinda depressing, hehe.

May sound odd, but have you tried running pSX itself as sudo (root permission)? I know it's obviously not the most solid solution, but if it works, you'll at least be able to play until this problem is figured out (you're not the only person having this problem on Jaunty, and pSX isn't the only program doing it either).
If that doesn't work either... well, I can't think of anything else at the moment. Hopefully somebody with more Linux experience comes along with a better solution (whether it works or not).

Well, tried that and unfortunately, didn't work. So I think that I would be left with waiting if someone would know what's going on, . That's a way too much important that would make go back to Hardy, but I don't have that much time, again, hehe. Thanks anyways! At least, you tried to offer as much ideas as possible, hehe.

It works for me, having installed libgtkglext1-dev and its dependencies. Just fired it up and loaded Alundra. Maybe you should make sure you got all of pSX's dependencies installed correctly? --Arek

True, but the problem in this case is that we've already tried completely disabling pulseaudio and it didn't work. I made the same suggestion because I too thought it sounded suspiciously similar to the pulseaudio problems, but it wasn't this time. Unless he somehow *didn't* completely disable it like he thought he did...

I also disabled pulseaudio on my system, having had other problems from it...I do not see why Ubuntu includes that piece of junk and requires that it remain installed whether you want it or not. As far as I can tell it provides absolutely nothing you can't get out of alsa (only that it also works on other OSes that don't have alsa - great for bsd/mac users, but a nonissue for linux users).
