I'd like to find analogue of Fraps or any other fps counter on Ubuntu 12.10.

After some googling I found 2 solutions:

1) To use Mumble (I found it from this discussion). This solution didn't work for me because after launching the game:

mumble-overlay game

I got this error:

game: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mumble/libmumble.so.1: undefined symbol: glPopClientAttrib

And I didn't find any fix of this error in the WEB.

2) To use WINEDEBUG=fps with osd_cat. It works only with wine (only Windows games). Found from reading this discussion and this article. It shows FPS during play but the output is definitely wrong - 0.15-0.18 fps. And it doesn't matter if game really runs slow or fast - result is always the same.

Does anyone know how to fix these errors? Or is there any other solutions? Thanks for the help.

You probably need something like glc, as I discuss in this question. – Mik Jan 21 at 16:06

@Mik yes, I mentioned that in the first sentence. – ArtemStorozhuk Jan 21 at 16:14

The question I linked to wasn't about fraps, it was about alternatives to fraps, i.e. glc, as I mentioned in my answer on that question. – Mik Jan 21 at 16:17

@Mik Actually I need fps counter and it seems that glc doesn't have such feature. – ArtemStorozhuk Jan 21 at 16:18
I'm way too lazy to go and test this myself, but I am almost certain that KDE has a plugin for measuring FPS. If you want to install KDE without breaking things you can run apt-get install --install-recommends=false --install-suggests=false kubuntu-desktop. Installing multiple desktop environments though could be risky and again I'm not certain so you should research before you try. – Dillon Gilmore Jan 27 at 22:32
