Ask questions about one topic per thread, and use a descriptive subject. "NotImplemented error in script.rpy" is a good subject, "Tom's problems" is not. Remember to include all of traceback.txt or error.txt when reporting a problem, as well as the relevant lines of script. Use the [code] tag to format scripts.

Hello,

I'm trying to run a renpy game and I get the following error message :

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

After initialization, but before game start.
error: No available video device

-- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------

Full traceback:
File "/home/mantis/Documents/JEUX/Loren/LorenRPG-linux-x86/renpy/bootstrap.py", line 296, in bootstrap
renpy.main.main()
File "/home/mantis/Documents/JEUX/Loren/LorenRPG-linux-x86/renpy/main.py", line 346, in main
renpy.display.core.Interface()
File "/home/mantis/Documents/JEUX/Loren/LorenRPG-linux-x86/renpy/display/core.py", line 1130, in __init__
pygame.display.init()
error: No available video device

Linux-3.2.0-24-generic-x86_64-with-debian-wheezy-sid
Ren'Py 6.13.12.1728
Loren The Amazon Princess 1.0a

What is strange is that I can run my own pygame projects without problems, and also launch renpy. I suspect that the problem comes from a bundled version of renpy coming with the game and is used instead of the system version. Is this a known issue, or do you have any idea of what's going on ?

Can you cat log.txt? This is generally the error produced if the video device is malfunctioning.

As I posted in my own forums too, we just used the last renpy build, but didn't modify renpy itself! :)

Here is log.txt :

%s%s%s%s %sTraceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/mantis/Documents/JEUX/Loren/LorenRPG-linux-x86/renpy/bootstrap.py", line 296, in bootstrap
renpy.main.main()
File "/home/mantis/Documents/JEUX/Loren/LorenRPG-linux-x86/renpy/main.py", line 346, in main
renpy.display.core.Interface()
File "/home/mantis/Documents/JEUX/Loren/LorenRPG-linux-x86/renpy/display/core.py", line 1130, in __init__
pygame.display.init()
error: No available video device

But like I said, when running a basic pygame code, I can initialize the display, I can run renpy 6.12.2-1 and the graphic card seems to work perfectly. So i'm really lost

The game uses 6.13 though, not 6.12

6.12.2-1 is the one installed on my ubuntu and the one launched when I type renpy in my console, actually. But as far as I understand how your renpy game works, there is an other version of renpy bundled, probably the 6.13
