Operating System: Ubuntu 9.04 64-Bit

 

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+

 

4GB RAM

 

 

 

Before, well, yesterday even. I could play Runescape fine, with no problems. (I have been playing it in standard detail for ages, because I never seemed able to get high detail to work without flickering constantly)

 

 

 

Today, I head onto the computer, login, and BAM, about 40-60 seconds in I'm presented with the WSOA (White Screen of Annoyance) Why this had suddenly happened is actually puzzling me; I have the latest Java, and the same graphics driver that I have had since the start of using Ubuntu, no problems before.

 

 

 

I have already tried a few methods found from browsing this forum and the web, however nothing seems to work.

 

 

 

- Rebooting the machine

 

- Re-installing Java

 

- Deleting the Jagex_cache_32 folder

 

- Installing some firefox32 from some guide that dsavi_x4 linked someone to on this forum

 

- Running in a different session. I've tried GNOME (Without all the eye candy like compiz), Fluxbox

 

 

 

Still, nothing works. So I come here in the hope that someone could be of some assistance :)

 

 

 

Thank you in advance.

Uninstall your graphics drivers and reinstall them. It may have been corrupted and is for some reason fiddling with the java client. All I can think of.

 

 

 

Do other java applications work? Like funorb games or something.

Yup, I tried that also, still nothing.

 

 

 

In the end I gave up, and went and installed Linux Mint 6 Felicia (Which plays RS fine, even in HD -.- ) And I'm digging the interface it is giving me, so this looks like a good move, heh.

 

Well anyway, thanks for your reply and help skatedog111, appreciated.

 

 

 

This thread can basically be locked now if need be, thanks :)
