[Opensim-users] Having problems with uploads whenrunningOpenSim under Windows

Thu Feb 11 01:40:04 UTC 2010

I am also running OpenSim on Ubuntu Karmic... but I've not noticed this 
problem occuring with that particular setup. I did notice for a while that 
avatar textures were not baking properly, resulting in white hair, white 
eyes, and grey skin (apparent to other users), but I was able to get around 
that by enabling hypergrid in OpenSim.ini, which seemed to fix it. However, 
the white textures I'm referring to come straight out of inventory when you 
double click on them to view them. It isn't just textures that come up 
missing; it's also sounds and animations as well.

I am likely out of date on that one.

BTW despite the thread title "... under Windows" I am seeing this problem on 
Ubuntu Karmic.
