Any Opensuse users here? I've got a problem.

Hey guys!

I try to start a viewer (this has happened to multiple viewers) and have gotten this message in the terminal. Anyone know what I'm missing? Again, this has happened in multiple viewers.

Help a newbie sister out!

Hi everyone! As the title states, I'm technically an old newbie to second life somehow. I played for about four years in my teenagehood and then a bit during covid, deleted my old account early 2022.

Now, I'm starting fresh with a new female avatar. How much linden do I need to create a full-mesh solid-looking avatar? Also is Premium/Plus still worth it?

Is it still worth to invest in Second Life in your opinion?

Thank you in advance!

How do the new usernames work?

Hi all,

Just wondering about the way the usernames work now. So obviously there's only an option for a one word user, but I know you can pay to have a surname. Does this surname attach to the end of your username if you were to buy it? Or can you pick a first name to go with it?

Thank you!

New to Second Life - Let’s Talk AOs!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a full-package AO for women (with a HUD included). I’m specifically after something with a “shy” and “quiet” vibe. If anyone has any store recommendations for AOs that fit this style, I’d really appreciate it!

Right now, I’m using a simple AO from Vista Animations, but I’m not absolutely loving it. I want to switch things up and find something that adds more “life” to my avatar without being overly busy. I’m aiming for subtle, natural gestures to make my avi look more realistic—nothing too exaggerated or overly animated.

I’ve already tried a couple of places:

  • Vista Animations: The newer AOs feel too static for my taste, while the older ones have a lot of movement—both are nice but not quite what I’m looking for.

  • Body Language: Their AOs are adorable, but they lean more toward the "cutesy" side, which isn’t the vibe I’m going for with my avatar.

  • And others that I just can’t remember but the animations moved way too much for me.

I know some people create their own AOs, but I don’t know much about that process. If anyone could recommend a recent, easy-to-follow tutorial (preferably visual, since I’m a visual learner), I’d love to check it out!

Thanks so much for your help—I’m excited to hear your suggestions!

New and Confused – Help with Legacy Body and Skins

Hey everyone!

I’m new to Second Life and recently got the Legacy Body Special Edition. Everything seemed fine until I tried applying a skin from ItGirls. The skin doesn’t appear when I apply it, and I can’t figure out why.

Here’s what’s happening:

  • When I add the skin, my face greys out, as if the application is starting, but then nothing happens.
  • Someone mentioned that Legacy has been under maintenance, so I wonder if that’s the issue. However, the HUD seems to be working fine when I started the skin adding process—it’s just the skin that won’t apply.
  • I also tried adding tattoos, and they didn’t show up on my Legacy

body either.

  • I’m using a default body eraser to hide my system body, and I’m wondering if that might be causing a conflict.

If anyone has experienced this issue and figured out a solution, I’d really appreciate your help! Even theories about what might be going wrong are welcome. Step-by-step instructions would be amazing since I’m still learning the ropes.

Thanks so much in advance! :)

Avis in distance not moving

I've just got a new PC (4070 Super ti, 32gb ram), running Firestorm, with graphics on Ultra. Everything is looking great and no pressure on the gpu or cpu at all.

However, when I'm in a busy club, anyone dancing more than about 20m away is rezzed but not moving. It's only when I get closer to the that they move/dance.

Is there a setting to allow this? ie a view distance for anims to animate?

Question about avatars

I was curious if there were any good stores that do non human alien avatars. Think of like the skirmishers from the Halo franchise, or just generally shorter bipedal creatures. At the moment i have two variations of kobolds, but i want other things.

Machinima in SL - still a thing?

I used to be a filmmaker in SL and give filmmaking classes as well until 2013. I’ve been away for most of the past ten years though, and see that most of the SL groups or external websites have disappeared, as well as the competition organised by the university of Western Australia. Is there no renewed interest in Machinima despite what seems to be better graphic quality?

Looking for Chill RP Partner

https://preview.redd.it/nt5i77pggn4e1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=50b2106932e8a67ce8eec208da8ea5c6e2dc4606

My character Aster/Astra is either an alien or faerie shapeshifter.

I'm looking for a dominant mostly male person to rp with. Someone who hopefully knows the world a little better. I never have any luck with these, but do text-based para rp!

These days I spend a lot of time just playing dressup and taking pictures. I want someone fun to explore with. I'm looking for something a little supernatural. Whether it's scifi or fantasy doesn't really matter as I few the genre as one. I'm also happy to rp on discord when we don't feel the visuals are necessary.

I'd be open to joining an rp, but need a little handholding on getting started.

Questions about voice.

So, I'm considering a voice morph program. I'm looking for recommendations that will work with the new voice system in SL. Any and all help is appreciated.
To add, I am quite open about my avatar being exactly what it is, so no deception is involved here.

I love to explore the grid but can't figure out where I can and cannot go. I was recently estate banned without warning. How am I supposed to know where it is OK to visit and where it is not, besides security orbs?

I joined three weeks ago and have never played video games before. The fun part of this game for me is to get on the map and randomly teleport to small islands to explore what people have made. I landmark the best places. The amount of talent out there that no one sees because it was made years ago and the creator is no longer active is a bit sad to me.

Sometimes I teleport into people's private homes and will have fun conversations with the owner. I make it clear on my profile that I don't mean any harm and am just exploring and my avatar is a small potato so my avatar can't possibly offend anyone. No one I've encountered on these visits has ever been mad or told me to leave, they all seem amused that a potato has randomly visited them. (Most of the time I'm visiting areas with no on there, also.)

Sometimes security will tell me to leave or be teleported suddenly and I will leave.

Yesterday I teleported to a place (Panthera Island) and was teleported out of it to home after exploring for about five minutes. I was then estate banned -- someone IMed me directly. I'm not sure what that even means, other than it seems like I won't be able to visit a lot of random places now.

How am I supposed to know where I can and cannot visit?

Thank you.

Invisible line around hair

Does anyone know why my hair looks like this in certain places at certain angles? I’ve looked through my graphics settings and I have no idea how to fix it.

Seams on the Legacy Body

Hi everyone! I recently upgraded from Belleza Jake to the Legacy Body and started to notice a lot of seams all over the body, specially on the stomach area. This is bothering me a lot since I never had any issues like this on the Jake body.

The weird thing is that I don't see the same flaws on other avatars using the same body so it must be something on my end. I've tried changing the skin and the problem remains. I'm not using any deformers and the seams appear regardless of the graphics - it still appears even on ultra settings.

How it looks like:

Any ideas on what might be causing this? Thanks in advance.

FabFree Advent Calendars.

Which do you recommend? There are so many and I'm too lazy to visit all the shops. Lol. I like a darker, edgy look, but also occationally exotic elegance. However my alt, who is a 0L$ project, is going in a kawaii-ish punk streetwear direction. So nothing too girly, baby pink or ladylike (no offence, one of my best friends is very pink and girly).

Any tip is highly appreciated! <3

Honestly I'm not that lazy, but on a crappy laptop with a poor connection. Rezzing new shops takes forever and I don't have time or patience for that. If I know it's a shop after my taste it's worth the waiting time though.
